iPad-Reader: Steve Jobs says no tethering between iPad and iPhone
Steve Jobs appears to have fired off a tersely worded email reply to a user in Sweeden who asked whether the WiFi-only iPad could be tethered to the iPhone: “No.” Jezper Söderlund of the Swedish website Slashat.se reports that he sent Apple’s chief executive an email identifying himself as an Apple customer before adding, “I’m also awaiting the release of the iPad. However, I have one question: Will the wifi-only version somehow support tethering thru my iPhone?” The full email headers Söderlund forwarded to AppleInsider appear to indicate that Jobs sent his one word reply at 8:30 AM from his iPhone. Whether one can tether Apple currently supports Bluetooth and USB (but not WiFi) tethering to share an iPhone’s 3G mobile signal with another computer in iPhone 3.x software. However, enabling the feature … Read entire article »

iPhone-Siri updated for iPod touch and gets some new features
Siri for the iPhone was quite a hit when it came out earlier this year. You could ask it questions like, “where is the best pizza nearby?” and Siri would find the answer. My favorite response was when I asked if there was a God, and Siri gave me directions to the nearest churches. As much as people loved the app, iPod touch owners were left out in the cold. Not now. The app has been … Read entire article »

iPhone-VeriFone credit card reader gets deal to be in Apple Stores
The Square credit card reader for the iPhone has gotten most of the buzz around here, especially after we saw that impressive demo at Macworld a few weeks ago. But VeriFone’s competing reader has been given the green light by Apple itself: the unit has been granted a deal for shelf space. VeriFone will be selling its PAYware Mobile units inside Apple’s retail stores coming up as soon as the end of March. I’m not … Read entire article »

iPad-iPad developers struggle with hands-off approach
Yes, as Steve Jobs showed off when he demoed the iPad in January, nearly all of the iPhone’s 140,000 applications will run on the device. But not seamlessly: you’ll have the choice of running them in actual size, surrounded by a field of black, useless space, or comically blown up via crude pixel doubling. (Really, there’s nothing like launching a super-sized version of the Facebook app to make you feel as though you are, indeed, … Read entire article »

iPhone-Sausage stylus comes to the US
It was a little less than a month ago when news broke of a South Korean company called CJ Corporation noticing a sharp increase in sales of their frozen sausages. CJ did some digging around and it turned out the good people of South Korea were using their sausages as iPhone styluses. Someone who was sick of taking their gloves off in the cold Korean winter to use their iPhone found out that the sausages … Read entire article »

iPhone-Transparent House creates “Anatomy of Apple Design” iPad tribute
San Francisco 3D design and visualization studio Transparent House has created a visualization entitled “Anatomy of Apple Design” as a tribute 34 years of Apple design, starting from the Apple I and leading up to the new iPad. The studio used Autodesk 3ds Max and Chaos Group V-Ray to develop two minute video, which took around ten days to finish as a completely artificial but photorealistic rendering. The video jumps from the 1976 Apple I to the original 1985 Macintosh, skipping the company’s breadwinning Apple II series and its first significant flop, the Apple III. It presents the 1989 Macintosh Portable, 1991 PowerBook, and 1993 Newton Message Pad, skipping generations of desktop Macs (including the iconic iMacs and the elegant but slow selling Cube) to highlight the clamshell 1999 iBook and white … Read entire article »

iPhone-Pioneer VSX-1020-K AV receiver with iPhone app up for pre-order
In the market for AV gear that “Works with iPhone?” Looks like Pioneer’s trusty old VSX-1019AH (with its built-in iPod dock) just got a formidable ally in the form of the VSX-1020-K. This bad boy not only packs in the features you expect from an AV receiver (including connections for HD video, HD audio, wireless and analog components, 1080p video conversion and upscaling, support for 3D video and more) but the company throws in a … Read entire article »
