Can’t get enough movies at home or the theater? Now, Netflix supports its iPad app for iPhone and iPod Touch. Netflix allows you to watch movies either with WiFi or 3G, so you can watch movies on the go. This is a welcoming move as some apps or features of the iPhone limits the usage to the WiFi.

A great Nokia “N9″ vs iPhone 4 video comparison from Techno Buffalo.
Apple is gearing up to release its iOS 4.1 update that will address the plaguing “antennagate” and proximity sensor issues that some current iPhone 4 owners have been experiencing. From the beginning of iPhone 4 release, some owners have reported dropped calls, no signal reception, and the screen’s inability to turn off when the phone is close to the face. While Steve Jobs explained that there is a “proper” way to hold the phone and bumper cover solutions, some are hoping that this update will fix the problems.
Apple has released two updates since June addressing signal bars and a security hole – both not addressing the antenna and proximity sensor. Some are saying that this update should fix the iPhone 4 to what it should have been upon release in June, but many are hoping that it will fix the issues.
Apple’s recently submitted security patent indicates that it will no longer follow the cat and mouse game with the dev-team. Apple states that the recent move is to protect the iPhone owner from loss or theft of personal data, but the patent also includes the ability to disable any jailbroken iPhones remotely. Jailbreaking is a popular alternative method to install third party apps that have been rejected by Apple. It also allows users to unlock their device and download pirated iTunes apps. The dev-team, main developers of jailbreaking and unlocking applications, exploits the security holes of the iPhone’s operating system and Apple releases software updates to patch the security holes in addition to disabling the jailbreak.
However, the patent explains that Apple has the ability to collect iPhone owners’ usage information, detect any unauthorized applications, and disable the device remotely. Some have raised concerns that the patent also invades personal privacy because it can record videos, iPhone owner’s heartbeat, and voice without the knowledge of the owner. This move comes as a surprise as the U.S. Copyright Office declared jailbreaking to be legal. It appears that Apple is striking back against the jailbreak community, but whether the general iPhone users accept this invasive patent is a question to be asked.
YouTube launches HTML5-enabled mobile website for iPhone and Android, so what this really means is that the iPhone (which doesn’t support flash) can now view videos on YouTube… here’s what’s new:
- It’s really fast.
- The user interface incorporates larger, more touch-friendly elements, making it easier to access videos on the go.
- It incorporates the features and functionality you’ve come to expect from the .com site, like search query suggestions, the options to create playlists, the ability to designate “favorite,” “like” or “unlike” videos directly from your device.
- As we make improvements to Youtube.com, you’ll see them quickly follow on our mobile site, unlike native apps which are not updated as frequently.
Greetings and Salutations:
As the cellular discourse rises and falls with the tide, it’s often reflex behaviour to develop opinions or expectations not based on experience, but rather “hear say” which is precisely what advertisement often is. One persons unsubstantiated declarations with no physical proof. Laying broad claim to, or casting enormous shadows on, services or the competition – here with respect to 3G coverage. Not necessarily device specific, but the latest generation of units will typically perform better overall. Negri Electronics has the widest selection of USA 3G devices available.
Today I would like to present before the court of reality, data gathered “from the field” and will share a quick note on some conditions that actually surprised me…

MacLife Magazine announces the Kanto SYD 5 as a winner in its “Gear of the Year” awards. The only iPod Speaker System to win an award. The SYD 5 combines superior performance, elegance, and craftsmanship into a powerful, hand crafted, feature-rich speaker system. This system is compatible with all iPods, iPhones and 99.9% of mp3 players! Here is what people are saying about the SYD 5… The SYD 5′s quality is evident even before cracking open the box. At just over 22 lbs, the unit proves surprisingly heavy. This is likely due to a combination of its real-wood cabinet, stout driver magnets and hefty amplifier. Once we opened the box, we found a gorgeous gloss piano black lacquer finish staring back at us. (The SYD 5 is also available in a glossy Blue, Green, White and Red.) The furniture-grade finish showed no streaking or haze either – an indication of Kanto’s high standards of manufacturing. — Digital Trends Review Apple’s iPod has spawned an entire industry of accessories, speakers in particular. Here at Mac|Life HQ, we’re constantly testing a stream of iPod speakers, ranging from tiny battery-powered portable models and alarm clocks, all the way up to models meant to pair with full-sized home stereo components. But rarely does something catch our eye like these speakers from Kanto — MacLife Review |
