Apple has released a new version of iOS, which is iOS 4.3.4 (and 4.2.9 in the case of Verizon iPhone). With the help of this version, the vulnerability regarding the malicious PDF files corrupting the system is removed. Apple implies that a fix is being applied, which will prevent the execution of arbitrary code when crafted PDF is opened on your device but there is a catch, before you decide to update your iPhone with this latest version of iOS remember that your jailbreak won’t work any further.

The new iOS update is now available for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 which are running on iOS 3.0 or higher, on 3rd generation iPods (running on iOS 3.1 or higher), and iPads with iOS 3.2 or higher. Apple’s iOS 4.3.4 update has fixed the vulnerability in the CoreGraphics framework, which created problems relating to the way PDF files were handled. Hackers could have remote controlled the iDevices after tricking the user into opening a malicious PDF file. The flaw was first uncovered by ‘Comex’ , member of a hacking team as named by iPhone Dev team. ‘Comex’ using this flaw created a loophole to jailbreak the iOS.

The update targets three components of the iOS: buffer overflow in Free Type’s handling of True Type fonts; signature issue in Free Type’s handling of Type1 fonts; and invalid type conversion issue in use of IOMobile Frame Buffer queuing primitives. ‘Comex’ had earlier brought out ‘JailbreakMe 2.0’ aimed at iPhone 4. Apple prevented the hack by launching another similar iOS update (4.3.3 update).

For all the Jailbreak fans who are disappointed at the latest update of the iOS need not do so. Just after 12 hours of the release, a poster appeared at the Redmond Pie which claims to have certain ‘PwnageTool 4.3.3’ a bundle that will unlock your iDevice. We will get you an update on this as soon as we get our hands on it.

Ever since Facebook became a deca-billion dollar construct, spawning companies which are worth billions of dollars in their own right (Zynga), there have been many attempts to dethrone this almighty social networking juggernaut. As we all know by now, Google+ is the Californian based company’s social network foray into the basically monopolized market. I’m not going into specifics here, but it basically looks like… Facebook, except, it’s not Facebook.

That’s not the point though. Currently, Google has just posted a Google+ application to the app store. It’s pending approval currently, while no approval process was necessary for the Android marketplace, for obvious reasons. Other information confirmed by Google, is that the application is not only for iPhones, iPod and iPad users can rejoice that they haven’t been forgotten by the search engine superpower.

Google is also releasing an Application Programming Interface for Google+, which will allow developers to create applications for Google+. Allowing software to interact with the service, as well as people, this API will certainly provide a greater amount of flexibility for users to exploit.

A couple of screenshots exhibit the features of Google+, including the much touted ‘Circles’ feature, where you can direct messages, and view messages only from particular social groups. There is also integration with Gmail, and GoogleTalk- perhaps a nice selling point about the social network in general.

In other news, remember that old site Myspace? The decaying site was just sold by its parent company for $35 million, a pittance compared to what it was originally worth. Even online newshub, ‘Huffington Post’ was sold for much much more. It serves as a reminder that perhaps, even Facebook might lose its grip on the Social Networking market.

At WWDC Stevie mentioned that with iOS 5 you will be able to sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch via WiFi but what he forgot to mention is that currently iOS 5 does not allow you to sync your iDevices over WiFi.

The Wifi Syncing feature for iPhone iPad and iPod Touch will be probably enabled soon but as of right now, if you are developer don’t waist too much time figuring out on how to do this.

As you can see in the picture below, Sync button is grayed out on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5) but if you connect it via USB cable sync works just fine.

Sync iOS 5 with iTunes 5

Well I guess you will either have to wait until this feature is enabled for iOS 5 developers or until iOS 5 release date is announced.

Apr 152011
 

When most people are speculating whether the iPhone 5 is going to come out, well somebody yet again had to mention “white iphone” and that somebody was journalist from wall street journal named Ian Sherr.

Apple has confirmed on multiple occasions that white iPhone will be out this Spring season, and reason for it’s delay (10 months ago) was the color it self. The problem Apple faced was that front frame did not match the color of the button at the bottom, basically company that designs white iPhone front design had to redesign the frame and do some more color tweaking in order to put white iPhone into production.

Now, according to multiple sources including Wall Street Jorunal and Bloomberg we should be seeing white iPhone coming out shortly even possible by end of this month, and to be honest I so dislike the way Apple releases their products, here is why:

Apple tends to keep the lines at Apple stores each month and PR people busy.  iPad 2 just came out on March 11th and there are still few people waiting in line even today! I am serious! Even month after iPad 2 came out, people are still waiting in line at 7am, and I live in smaller city (Des Moines,Iowa).

Lets take a look at the timeline and some product predictions for Apple this year:

January: Apple announcement of iPhone 4 on Verizon

February: Apple releases iPhone 4 on Verizon

March: iPad 2 Release

April: White iPhone 4 release (prediction)

May: Announcement of  Apple Event for June/July

June-July: iPhone 5 Release (prediction)

October-September: iOS updgrade (prediction)

If you look at the time line above, to me that sounds ridiculous. Sure, its cool for Apple product promotions, but what about those people that get gadget outdated within 4-5 months? Not that I would ever buy white iPhone 4 or even iPhone 5 but those people that wanted one are now under two year agreement from wireless carriers, which means that even if they wanted to switch from black iPhone 4 to white iPhone 4 they will have to pay early termination fee of ca.  $250 and then $35 activation fee, and that to me dear friends is not worth it.

Anyway,

I started rambling here:but would like to know what you think about Apple products and whether the timeline above is just made for PR reasons?

As a tech guy who has been in tech industry for over a decade now, I am always in  different places doing some sort of web-development and most of my time I spend remoting into my servers whether that is from home or some other place.

Now that technology has advanced, I can remote to my web servers and home pc’s straight from iPad 2 and iPhone 4 which I recently got for birthday (April 1st!). Today I would like to introduce you to one of the best remote applications for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch basically any iDevice that runs on iOS 3+  and that app name is Remoter.

I downloaded bunch of remote apps for my iPad 2 and waisted my money so to say, but with Remoter everything paid it self off.

Remoter (Remoter: Remote Desktop VNC – iTunes Link) application allows you to remote into ANY operating system that has VNC (I use TightVNC) or SSH.

With SSH (I am more of a linux guy) you can do pretty much everything you would do on any linux machine, it gives you all the controls that you could possibly use as you would be upfront of that PC.

Same thing goes with Windows and OS X , as I said above you can remote to any operating system, and use it just like you would use it when you are upfront of that computer.

About the GIVEAWAY:

Since I have been using Remoter for two weeks, I contacted developers and gave great feedback on what amazing application they built, in return I have been given redeem codes that will allow winners to install remoter for free. Current price on remoter is 99c which is cheap considering that other applications run for $10-$20!

To win free redeem code, all you really need to do is tweet this article , and the winner will be chosen randomly. We have 3 codes to giveaway, so your chances to win this are really high. I will chose the winner tomorrow after 5PM (CST)

Some snapshots I took of my demo servers with remoter (there is still stuff to read under pix):

IMG_0009IMG_0010IMG_0011IMG_0012IMG_0013IMG_0014

 

Now that I got your attention, I would like to say that with this tool you can , type, move mouse, right and left click, view it full screen on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Anyway, hope you are going to win this cool remote desktop application , so tweet this and stop by tomorrow, winners will be announced via Twitter (52.000 followers) and in commenting section below.

UPDATE: Winners are @dreamartist @dolton @suhastech

iPhone 4 is now out on Verizon and AT&T featuring 16GB and 32GB sizes, but what about 64GB? Pictures and video of iPhone 4 64GB as of today are leaked thanks to MicGadget.

As you can see below it is a iPhone 4 64GB prototype just like the one Gizmodo leaked 3 months before it came out. According to MicGadget the iPhone 4 64GB prototype was leaked out of Shenzhen FoxConn factory which is THE factory where all iPhone’s are made. They also reported that this particular iPhone 4 prototype is on sale for $1700.

I am not 100% sure if I would buy one of the prototypes because of multiple reasons

1. No warranty

2. Software Update? Possible or not?

3. Which carrier can be used with? Will it only have 3G or just Edge?

I mean when you pay $1700  for that type of phone, it better be something good, but just due to the size change of 32GB in my honest opinion, it is not worth paying.

Here is the video of iPhone 4 64GB

And the picture:

iPhone 4 64gb

iPhone 4 or in this case iPhone 5 for me personally would have to be really a major upgrade from what we have seen so far.

Our predictions are that next iPhone 5 will include:

  1. Dual Core Processor – like iPad 2
  2. 4GB capability
  3. 64GB Size (Duh)
  4. Same price as current iPhone 4 just replace 32GB with 64GB
  5. 8MP rare camera – I might be pushing on this one but Motorola Droid has it for a year now!
  6. 2MP front camera

What do you think about this whole iPhone 5 thing?

If you are looking for iPhone HD Wallpapers apps that are free than these two apps that I am about to introduce are the best from what I could find on App Store. iPhone HD Wallpapers are high quality pictures especially on iPhone 4 with retina display.

So here are few images I took for you. Below the pictures you will find link to iTunes where you can actually download the application.

First one I would like to mention is called Wallpapers

photo 2photo 1

With Wallpapers app for iPhone you can checkout the most recent HD wallpapers , you can select random HD Wallpapers and then the most popular HD Wallpapers.

To download this app which should be free just go to this iTunes Link

Another good HD or 1080p iPhone Wallpapers app is called Wallpapers HD, simple, eh? I like this one bit better because it has more pictures on front page, as you can see in the pictures below. But this app does have advertising and sometimes pops up messages. This Wallpapers HD app for iPhone is still free so advertising or not, it’s free!

photo 3photo 4

To get this application head over to this iTunes Link

Well folks that’s about it, I hope you will like these two applications and also don’t forget to comment below and share your other apps that you might find interesting and want to let us know.

Yesterday while at work, I got popup on my iPhone 4 (Verizon) saying “Carrier Update, Update, Not Now”  and as it appears the Personal Hotspot has been added to my iPhone 4 where before I do not recall having it. This update I think should of come as part of iOS 4.3 next week but I guess it came up now.

Here are some of the screenshots I got for you:

photo 1 photo 2 photo 3

Basically the personal hotspot will transfer your 3G data into Wifi adhoc station, so you can then connect 5 devices to that Wifi. So far Verizon is charging $20 for tethering which is basically same as using the 3G data (personal hotspot)

As I bought my latest smartphone – the iPhone 4 – it has turn out to be my key digital tool. I save about everything I can in this – who I know, every detail about them, as well as all the other details which make it probable for me for running my life easily. That craving has increased along with the growing capacities of the newest iPhone 4, dominating even my laptop. As a result it is reasonable enough to declare that my iPhone 4 holds loads of information which I consider fairly sensitive.

However what would occur if somebody steals my iPhone 4 otherwise if I lost this somewhere? How painless would it be on behalf of the person in control of my iPhone 4 for getting access to this phone as well as the sensitive information which I have saved inside it? And I surprise that yet if it occurs, can I protect other people from getting out the major sensitive information on my iPhone 4?

As there is a lot of information stored on my iPhone 4, firstly I must identify what do I require to save in my iPhone 4? I am thinking concerning the information which is currently saved on my iPhone 4. This includes:

  • Everybody I know (friends, links, Facebook), while I’m in touch with them (Email, SMS, Recent calls), as well as who’s most significant (Favorites)
  • All my responsibilities (Things, my to-do records) as well as time, date (Calendar)
  • Sites I’ve been (within Maps, to a definite extent,)
  • Snapshots I’ve taken, as well as scans of association cards
  • Images of my family which I downloaded from the laptop to the iPhone 4
  • WebPages I visit as well as things I purchase (eBay, confirmations saved in Email)
  • Definite bank account information, as well as passwords (inside Contact entries in addition to Notes)

There is no hesitation that lots of information concerning my life is stored in my iPhone 4, as a result how may I rely only on this built-in application of the iPhone 4 for securing my such a precious information? For instance, my personal photos which I have just moved from my Laptop to my iPhone 4; are extremely private as well as I don’t desire anyone else to see them as well as therefore I require to hide them as a result that even if somebody gets access to the iPhone 4, he will not be capable to view my private family photographs.

Folder Lock option for smartphone is the iPhone 4 edition of my preferred file as well as folder locking application – Folder Lock. While I got to identify that Folder Lock designed for iPhone 4 is unveiled I was extremely excited since I am utilizing Folder Lock for locking down my secret as well as important files in my computer in addition to I was badly looking for somewhat like as Folder Lock which can protect files in the iPhone 4 as well. As a result I downloaded this Folder Lock software for iPhone 4 straight from iTunes Application Store to the iPhone 4 as well as have started learning how may I secure the files, photos as well as other confidential information which I stored in the iPhone 4 by means of this application?

Folder Lock software for iPhone 4 permits me password protecting in addition to hide photos, videos as well as audios of every available formats, PDF files, Microsoft Word files, notepad files, Excel sheets as well as much more. It in addition permits me to save files which I have downloaded through the internet.

The Locker can’t be opened, accessed, and moved otherwise deleted without giving the correct password as well as no body can even hack the Locker for stealing your confidential information, since Folder Lock designed for the iPhone 4 comes having the powerful hack challenge monitoring technology which make it almost impossible to hackers hacking into this application.

Folder Lock designed for iPhone 4 becomes the perfect app which I was searching for to hide images on iPhone 4. It may hide all sorts of jpeg, png, jpg, bmp, gif, tif, bmpf, ico, tiff, cur as well as xbm photos.

Success as a science has been brought to such levels of complexity; statistical data mining, assertive financing, risk evaluation, programming, tech implementation, work-flow, tenacity,. That nowadays people are starting to to feel more comfortable calling it an art.

Success is elusive; hunting for it can ware you down and strip the precious youth years of your life leaving you with the shell of the ghost you once called a dream.

But it can also knock on your door uninvited, walk up to you in a misty corner and change your life, in which case the results can get a lot worse than failure, real fast.

Neither situation fits Verizon nor the Iphone4, the most talked about smart phone-joins-network launch so far this year.

They are both successful in their own grounds, and while they both roll and trash the gargantuan arenas in their respective markets, and it made shareholders wet their mouths in anticipation to put the two together, it looks like the hosts of the biggest sales event in cellphone history are starting to realize they might have made too good a move, for their own good.

First after nailing the release deal, looks like someone at Verizon might have started doing some math; a gazillion new users with a gazillion unlimited data plans plus oversold infrastructures equals,. Omg!

The answer to this finding was both swift and a sign of things to come; Verizon announced that “heavy data users” might find themselves throttled,.. that’s right, your get a two year contract with a company that will certainly stomp you down to a sorry bandwidth from the 90s if you happen to have too much fun.

Put that into perspective with the recent clamp down on costumer preorders at both Verizon and Apple web stores, then be sure to take into account that Apple would neither stop shoving its products down willing hordes of people’s throats, nor miss a chance to boast about “yet another sell out” and you ll start getting the picture.

Looks like Verizon, the host of the party, in between margarita shakes started realizing the attending guests were actually zombie mobs more keen on consuming it whole than in paper umbrella drinks.

Questions that remain to be answered are ;

Will the pre orders and their short lifespan be an indication of how oversold Verizon infrastructure is?

Will Apple sit quietly watching how they apparently started hanging out with the lame kid on the block?

Will AT&T haters ever find the promised land?

If there is something that I can take time to criticize more gleefully than the mismanagement of success or lack thereof, is the absolutely nonexistent readiness for the clear and present danger of becoming successful. That being said I think my time is up on this particular case.

Do you really want to make iPhone 4 app?

That may sound like a silly question at first. However I want to make sure that you have completely explored your target viewers as well as considered whether it will be more appropriate to launch the apps on Blackberry or Android platform.

If you still have your brain set on the iPhone 4 app, then I advise you to also think what happens if it is a success? Yes, I am thinking that your iPhone 4 apps will be a success as they are growing very fast.

Will the organization you employ be capable to launch a parallel app on another platform consequently in order not to drive customers away?

Will you choose to combine the iPhone 4 app with possibly a mobile website which would allow all additional smartphone users to view your content?

Find the iPhone 4 applications you are fond of!

I have run a lot of website as well as iPhone 4 application projects and one of the faults I frequently come across are directors that are very reliant on the developers. I propose that as a previous step to your early brief you actually look into all this different sorts of iPhone 4 apps which are inside your market. Think why one runs better than another; what essentially frustrates you as well as what thoughts you could implement to make iPhone 4 apps.

Perception of Apple Connect to your iPhone 4 Apps

Apple Connect is the website used by the iPhone 4 apps developer. It is fundamentally a website which holds the particular information of your app and as is used to submit your iPhone 4 applications binary code to the Apple designed for them for approval… if you are fortunate enough.

It is also the place where the whole thing you observe on iTunes is handled. As a result the screen shots you observe for every app, you got it, those are uploaded through connect. You might wish to go through connect with your iPhone 4 app designer just to get used to that you can and cannot do.

Worth of your iPhone 4 Apps

Apple manages a tiered pricing composition. As a result all you must do is choose a pricing level from 1-10 for setting your price throughout the world. Again, you should explore this with your iPhone 4 designers by exploring Apple Connect.

Designing your iPhone 4 application layout

Bespoke applications will be less costly if you perform the ground work. With this I mean work out accurately what you want and create the ‘work flow’ diagram. Fundamentally start with the blank image of an iPhone 4 and sketch in the iPhone 4 app display screen and homepage. Work out which buttons would go along the base of your iPhone 4 applications to build the menu – you may have 5 buttons.

Next, with a lot of blank iPhone 4 pictures, build a hierarchical configuration of the iPhone 4 apps. By doing that, you may literally show your developer how you desire it all to perform i.e. click on here and it shows the screen otherwise searches the items.

Don’t be too anxious  concerning whether it is theoretically probable as your iPhone 4 application designer will without a doubt suggest a number of options for development. Once the iPhone 4 application workflow is complete, you and your designer should be able to identify exactly how the applications should work.

Modified iPhone 4 Apps against Online App Developers

Only about a year ago, whether you wished to develop an iPhone 4 application, you had to search for an adapted answer. These days’ things are quickly changing and there are several US based companies in addition to one UK Company offering to build your application online service.

The basic difference between modified iPhone 4 applications building and online app developers is cost in addition to flexibility. With modified iPhone 4 apps you actually can build just about anything and there are companies and/or individuals very skilled in that area. As a result ask yourself which you are aiming to get. Is it product building through clever entertainment? or are you aiming to facilitate content to your clients in order to assist them throughout the ultimate purchase of a given product or service?

1. Put music as well as videos from Limewire into your iPhone 4

Limewire is a download tool I suppose a lot of you use. I frequently use it to download complimentary music as well as videos an put them on my iPhone 4. If you do not have Limewire, you may download it from its website.

Search as well as download music from Limewire. You might get songs in every sort of format, however not every format is supported in iPhone 4. Typically I select 3 formats: MP3, M4A as well as AAC formats which are supported by iPhone , additionally, they can be directly moved to iPhone 4 by means of iTunes. You may visit the Apple website for the full specifications of iPhone 4. After you download the music, open iTunes, click on “File” from the top left corner, choose “Add file to library”, look through your computer hard disc and navigate to the folder of Limewire downloads, choose the songs you like , click OK and the songs will be placed in your iTunes.  After that simply transfer these songs to the iPhone from iTunes.

2. From Youtube to iPhone 4

I frequently visit Youtube to watch videos from my iPhone as well as from time to time I download videos that cannot be found by iPhone from Youtube for putting on the iPhone. The Youtube videos are in FLV formats; as a result I make use of a free of charge online FLV converter for doing the conversion.

Initially, go to Youtube and play the video you wish to put in your iPhone. You will get the Youtube URL for the video on the side of the playback pane. Copy that URL.

Once you have the URL, visit vixy.net; insert the copied URL in the URL box on the page, choose “MP4 for iPod or PSP” from the  ”Converts to” drop-down list (iPod Video can be used in iPhone as well. Something to keep in mind if you have a lot of iPod videos.) After that click “Start” underneath this list.

Finally, after the conversion, the site will give a download link so you can download a converted MP4 file. Just download the final file from that link, store this downloaded MP4 file in your computer and then use iTunes to sync it on to the iPhone 4.

3. Google Videos to iPhone 4

As Google permits you to download the videos from the site with an iPhone friendly format, you only need to download the appropriate version for this video. But since searching ain’t watching, to play this video, click the small select list on the right and choose “Video iPod or Sony PSP” then press “Done”. Click the download button the video would come up soon.

4. DVD or Video on iPhone

I have a vast collection of DVD movies as well as videos. I load my iPhone with some of them to kill time when I’m on the subway or bus.

DVD movies cant be moved to iPhone directly with iTunes ; as a result I had to get a converter to do that. I have tried a few converters and now use Wondershare DVD to iPhone Converter. Though it is not free, it is however not costly either. I decided to spend the cash because it does a fine job in terms of  quality as well as conversion speed. In addition, if I don’t wish to put the entire movie, I may just convert a fraction of the movie onto the iPhone with this app.

The iphone 4 is the fourth generation smart phone device developed by Apple. It is the successor of the iPhone 3GS. It’s particularly aimed at video calling, consumption of media such as movies, music and books and continuous internet and email access. It runs on the same operating system that supported the previous edition of iPhone, the iOS.

The device is a multi touch device sensitive to user fingertips. Apple claims it is the most prominent edition compared to all the previous version of iPhones. And here ‘s why Apple claims you should spend your money on it.

1. The greatest improvement of iPhone 4 is the clearer Retina screen. It has the most vibrant and highest resolution display that has ever been used on a smart phone device. The resolution is double that of the previous  iPhone, it has a 640 x 960 display with three hundred and twenty six pixels per inch. Due to high screen resolution users will have a hard time trying to differentiate individual pixel.  The technology used for this purpose is IPS (in plane switching) to get a wider viewing angle than liquid crystal displays. The contrast ratio is four times more than that of the previous versions which makes iPhone 4 unique in the market.

The retina displays have been ruling the market for long time and this time Apple used the same retina technology that is used in helicopter panes which makes the screen sharper, scratch resistant, durable resistant to oil and harder than any other competing devices.

The display is so clear that the writing on the display appears as a printed copy.

The difference between retina technology and normal devices is so eye catching that once you start using this device you wouldn’t feel comfortable with any other display, not even the previous versions of apple smart phone. It is recommended that you use screen protectors and other required accessories to avoid any major damage to the display.

2. Nowadays, mobile phones are not just a communications tool but also an intelligent device that enables movement interaction. The new iPhone 4 device will have 6 sensors including gyroscopic sensors. This is an innovative inclusion that will enable user to play cooler games and applications. Other than that the device has 3 axis accelerometer sensors with one ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor.

3. The iPhone 4 is the world’s thinnest intelligent smart phone device with 9.3 millimeter thickness. That is twenty four percent less than previous version of iPhone. The overall line is cool enough to impress the buyer.  The display screen is same as before but the thickness and weight has been lowered considerably. In any case analysts expect that Apple will tend to increase the size of the screen because most users likes to watch movie on the go.

4. The device is loaded with LED camera flash light to allow photo shooting at night or low light ambient. The illumination sensor at the back of the device fires the LED flash light automatically when needed. With this advanced new technology Apple is leaving the competition behind.

5. The image quality of the integrated camera has improved noticeably. The iPhone 4 has 5 megapixels while the previous version only had 3 megapixels. Yet it is not the best smart phone camera, devices like HTC droid incredible have 8 megapixel cameras and the Google nexus device has a camera resolution of 5megapixels. But hopefully Apple will get away with it as they promote a new photo editing application; iMovie. The camera also has optional high dynamic range setting that will enable user to capture more detailed picture. Along with the 5 megapixels back side camera the phone has an integrated front facing camera for video conferences and self portraits. Self portraits have become very popular, so that’s one thing new users can dig about the device.

The biggest advantage of the newest iOS operating system is that it now allows multi tasking, meaning users can fire up multiple application at the same time. The battery life of the phone has also improved noticeably.
