For the people who are religiously studying and analyzing the Bible and attending Bible Study sessions, here is an iPhone that should come in handy. A free iPhone app has been released by Logos Bible Software, providing iPhone users a tool and resource to help them study the Bible via their Apple device. This app not only provides religious folks to read passages from the Bible, it also allows them to dig deeper into the Scripture with the Passage Guide. The Logos Bible Software iPhone app is free for download.

Apple’s App Store has established yet another record. We’ve seen the store reach one billion downloads followed quickly by the two million mark. And now the App Store has reached another remarkable number. The store houses at this time 100,000 applications which is a record in the business and now the number has been officially recognized by Apple. Everyone else is trailing way back and it will be almost impossible for the App Store to be surpassed by any other similar adventure. We’re probably going to see even more records get established as there are more than 34 million iPhones out there, not to mention the iPod touches sold so far by Cupertino. We’ve showed you lots of App Store apps here and there are many more interesting apps to show you, so stay tuned. The third billion download is probably just around the corner.
What’s your favorite iPhone app?

Before you read on please make note that this is only a rumor and has not been confirmed in any way shape or form — BGR brings us news that AT&T and Apple are pondering whether or not to launch an 8GB iPhone 3GS for $99 that would be presumably replace the current $99 iPhone 3G.
Like I said, there isn’t very much evidence to back this up but if this goes down it would reportedly be a move to combat the DROID handsets popping up on Verizon.

It’s no secret that the iPhone doesn’t support Flash and most likely won’t until Apple decides to lift the restriction. However, some people evidently have been thinking it was Adobe’s fault that there is no Flash on the iPhone, as you can see from the above picture.
Of course, Adobe isn’t exactly getting angry at Apple but they are telling consumers exactly what they need to know; Flash won’t be on the iPhone until Apple says it can.

Here’s something nobody expected from Windows 7. It looks like the new Microsoft OS and the iPhone don’t really like each other. There are various syncing issues already reported but Microsoft is not to blame this time. At fault seems to be Intel’s P55 Express chipset and its USB controller. People say that the iPhone gets recognized but syncing is not possible. We’ll be waiting for an official stance on the matter and the parties involved should better find a fix for it. The iPhone is the best sold phone so far and Windows 7 is already very popular. Naturally there are quite a lot of iPhone owners out there that will be using Windows 7 soon. And let’s not forget that Apple is getting ready to ship iMacs packing Intel Core i5 and i7 processors in November. Cupertino would hate to see similar syncing problems occur especially between iMacs and iPhones. So what do you say Intel? Is a fix coming soon?

iPhone OS 3.1.2 has been unlocked already and you can expect to be able to unlock your iPhone on November 4. The unlock is possible thanks to Geohot, the same hacker that managed to jailbreak OS 3.1.2. Next week you should be looking for Blacksn0w which will do the trick for you. In case you use Blackra1n for jailbreaking the iPhone then you’ll be able to download the unlock solution straight from it.
Just make sure you know what you’re doing before performing any jailbreaking and/or unlocking operations. We’re certainly not recommending such activities which can lead to all sorts of troubles with your carrier, not to mention Apple, in the future.

The new iTunes terms & conditions have a new paragraph which reveals more details about Apple TV 3.0. You’ll be happy to know that Apple TV 3.0 will offer support for iTunes LP and Extras viewing as soon as it becomes available. These features will be available only on those computers running iTunes 9 or higher and Apple TV 3.0 or higher.
Apple announced the iTunes LP format back in September and in case you forgot, iTunes LP will let you access a lot of bonus material about your favorite artists. iTunes Extras does the same thing with movies so you’ll probably enjoy both features once they become available. We have no idea when Apple TV 3.0 will become available but we’re expecting it to arrive soon.

The Apple App Store hits another milestone today. While everyone knows how hard it is to get an app approved, hitting the 100,000 mark is an achievement in itself. While only 93,118 of these apps can actually be purchased, there are minor discrepancies such as sudden pullouts of apps due to some issues. In short, the list may not be up to date.
If you want the actual count, there are 101,847 approved apps to date. Audited or unaudited, tip your hats off to the App Store for achieving these numbers and feat. Another testament to the growing success of the app store for the many iPhone and iPod Touch owners looking for specific apps for their mobile device.

I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t wear such a working Apple iPhone costume. Not only is it way too big to carry around the party but you might also break it. Not to mention that it shows everything your iPhone does. And what happens if someone decides to steal the extra large iPhones?
The Halloween costumes feature each a car battery, a 42-inch LCD TV and a little iPhone OS tweaking needed to connect the iPhone to the LCD. Each costume weighs 85 pounds and costs around $1,000 to make, so while creators Reko and Bobby will definitely wear them we will gladly look for other costume ideas. What are you going to wear?

There’s no such thing as a Windows computer is it? Let alone a Microsoft made laptop! We would have surely heard about its existence already since most gadgets out there get leaked long before being officially unveiled.
However 30 Rock is clearly showing the device in question and the Windows logo is definitely recognizable. So what happened to all the Apple products on the show? Is 30 Rock celebrating the release of Windows 7 too? Whatever the case is, the computer in the picture here is definitely not a Mac wearing a Windows Logo.
What do you think? Will we see Steve Ballmer announce Microsoft computers soon?

Windows 7 has just hit store shelves but if you’re looking to run the software on a Mac you’re out of luck as Boot Camp does not officially support it.
Luckily Apple has told us that official support for Windows 7 using Boot Camp is coming before the end of the year when an update for the software will be pushed out.
But wait, if you have a Mac, that means you hate Windows, right?

If you ask me, I guess it was about time for Microsoft to stand up for itself and take a proper hit at Apple. And this time they have managed to come up with a funny video too. The video is a great response to Apple’s “Get a Mac” campaign.
Microsoft is targeting the App Store and it’s making fun of some of those ridiculous apps that can be downloaded to iPhones and iPod touches right now. In this rejected Windows Marketplace video Microsoft makes two important points. First of all the App Store is filled with unnecessary apps and second, Apple is well knows for the way it choose to approve or banish apps from its store.
But after we’ve had a couples of laughs and shared it with our friends, we still have to acknowledge the fact that Apple’s App Store is way better than Microsoft’s Marketplace, at least for now. And Microsoft is surely wishing for a Marketplace filled with at least half the ridiculous apps found in the App Store! You see, Microsoft, you actually need to perform better than the competition in order for any funny video to really work!

Yes, Apple has put out a slew of new products with the new MacBook, iMac, Mac Mini, and Magic Mouse, but lets not forget an update to the Mac Remote. It is reported that this remote will have the same all-aluminum coat that is on the newest Mac products, and it is designed to control the iPod, iPhone, or Mac with play/Pause, menu, volume and track skip buttons.
It is compatible with any Mac introduced 2005 or later with integrated IR receiver, but you will probably need a $49 iPod Universal dock for the iPod or iPhone.

Apple has today come forth to announce a whole slew of updates to their various product lines. First up is the plastic MacBook that is getting an almost full redesign with a uni body enclosure, non removable 7-hour battery and large multitouch track pad as found on the MacBook Pros.
The iMac will feature generally the same design as the last generation, a 21.5-inch LED display with various Core 2 Duo offerings. Alternatively, there is a 27-inch model that features an Intel i5 or i7 with both models support up to 16GB of RAM.
The Mac Mini keeps the same design but gets a processor upgrade, more RAM and a NVIDIA 9400M 256MB graphics card.
And last but not least, the Magic Mouse — As you could probably already tell this is the successor to the Mighty Mouse and features probably the biggest redesign of all the updated product lines. This new mouse features no buttons whatsoever but instead a touch sensitive face for, you guessed it, gesture based controls.
Head over to Apple’s website to check all of these updates out.

Call it whatever you want, recession, economic crisis but it still affects people. Almost everyone is suffering except for Apple. The Cupertino-based company has posted its fiscal Q4 2009 earnings report and the numbers are quite impressive. Apple has brought in $1.67 billion in net profit and $9.87 billion in revenue.
Last year Apple only managed to bring in $1.14 billion in profit but in fiscal Q4 2009 the gross margin went up all the way to 36.6%.
46% of the quarter’s revenue comes from international sales while Mac sales went up 17% compared to last year. Apple sold 8% less iPods, probably because so many people already own one, while iPhone sales went up 7% compared to last year for a total of 7.4 million units.
Apple has also stated that it has a “new lineup for the holiday season and some really great new products in the pipeline for 2010.” Anyone ready to guess what 2010 will bring?

EA Sports has brought the NBA Live 2010 to the iPhone together with a couple of other marquee games under its wing. Aside from the NBA Live 2010 for the iPhone, it has also announced the availability of Need for Speed Shift and Surviving High School and it looks like a lot of iPhone and iPod Touch owners are going to want these gaming apps on their Apple device as EA acknowledges the phenomena brought about mobile gaming demands.
The NBA Live 2010 for the iPhone will feature all 30 NBA teams and can be played on a full regular season mode and the playoffs. Though the Dynasty mode and Slam Dunk competition will not be included, you just have to be realistic. Just be thankful that NBA Live 2010 is available for the iPhone and the fact that you are still using a mobile version and not really the game console where it was really mean to be played. Ditto with the Need for Speed Shift and Surviving High School!

The worldwide economic crisis is not over yet so I am not surprised at all to see a family guy trying to sell Windows 7 for a living. But I am surprised to see the Family Guy selling Microsoft’s latest OS. Seth MacFarlane and Co will dedicate a full episode to Windows 7. The special feature will air on November 8 and it will be completely free of any commercials. Well the episode is a 30-minute long commercial itself but it might be funny.
Apple on the other hand will launch some new “Get a Mac” videos soon and they will take hit after hit after hit at Windows 7. But Windows 7 looks stable so far, so maybe Apple should consider cutting Microsoft some slack at least this once! What do you guys think?
