09 Feb 10 A Taller iPhone 4G Perhaps?
Nothing has been definite on the release of the iPhone 4G. There have been a lot of speculations on what it will come out with such as HD video support and some background applications. But now let us go a bit to the physical part of it. Rumors are flying that it will be taller than its previous iPhone brothers.
Some photos over at iResQ show a taller iPhone, about ¼ inches taller than the previous ones which measured 115m tall. Aside from that, it will have a reflective surface above the speaker and a LCD that is factory-glued to the digitizer. However, this is not yet the final design so don’t conclude just yet!

04 Feb 10 SlingPlayer for iPhone soon to work over 3G
As Apple slowly but surely loosens the reigns on what can and can’t go into App Store, more and more apps are showing some promising and incredibly useful features that were previously not allowed. The latest of such apps is SlingPlayer which you might already know has been available in the App Store for some time now. However, while previously available, it only allowed you to stream content over WiFi which made it virtually useless unless you were in a wireless hotspot.
Today, it was announced that AT&T has given the app developers the go ahead to allow for streaming over 3G. Unfortunately, the new version of the app still needs to get Apple’s approval so there’s not telling on when the update may actually hit.

04 Feb 10 iTunes Preview lets you know exactly what you’re downloading
I guess Apple’s still relishing in all the attention after the iPad unveiling one week ago. It’s not like they sounded the trumpet for this new feature of iTunes for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
This iTunes Preview allows the user to select an App Store link and be taken to the website showing the app’s details. In other words, you know what you’re getting into before you’re downloading. Have you ever downloaded an App, and discovered that it wasn’t what you were expecting at all? With this app, you can see a picture, price, description, rating, reviews and screenshots.
I can’t help but wonder what a preview for the iTunes Preview would like.

01 Feb 10 Bump App for the iPhone
Bump is the name of a new and cool application for your iPhone, its basic function is to transfer your contact details to another person but the way you do is what makes it special: just rub your iPhone against your friends phone.
Yep – that’s right. As long as both iPhones have the Bump installed, exchanging contact information becomes much easier and faster. There only seems to be one problem in this version of Bump, which is not knowing the difference between mobile and landline numbers, but I bet that issue should be fixed when they release the next version.
The Bump also works with Android phones, check out the Bump website for more details.
