Google Chrome for Mac and Linux Out of Beta
That's right, folks. Google just announced that Chrome for Mac and Linux is out of beta. They feel they've squashed enough bugs to get it up to snuff with the Windows version and have released it as of today. Google is also touting its speed increases with the latest version for all three platforms. Since the first beta, they've increased [...]
No More Updates for First-Gen iPhone
According to recent reports, Apple will no longer be providing updates to the first-gen iPhone. It wasn't mentioned at all in the iPhone OS 4 preview, so many had been speculating as to the future of the original iPhone.
iPhone OS 4 Features
iPhone OS 4 was previewed today. It is available to iPhone developers today - to the rest of us sometime this summer. Here's a breakdown of the 7 'Tentpole' features that Apple considered the most important. Multitasking: While in an app, double-click the home button and it brings up a 'dock' of your currently running apps while pushing up [...]
Apple Allows VOIP On 3G
That's right. Apple has lifted the restrictions for developers so that they can write VOIP apps that work over AT&T's 3G network. Back in October, AT&T lifted the restriction on their network and informed Apple and the FCC about it. Yesterday, Apple released a new SDK for the iPhone and the new iPad. In this SDK, the restriction has [...]
Apple Announces iPad
Much has been rumored about the existence of this device, and today it came to fruition. The iPad has a 9.7 inch diagonal touch screen. The interface is much like that of the iPhone. In fact, 'most' of the apps currently in the App Store will run on the iPad. They can run either in their native resolution, meaning they'll use a small area of [...]
Google Voice for iPhone is Here
Most of you know by now that I'm a Google fan. I like their products. They're innovative, geeky and cool all at the same time. At last, there is a full-fledged Google Voice App for the iPhone. There is no push notification for this app, however. The reason? It is a web app. But it's actually a nice web app written by Google themselves. The [...]
Set Up a Website For Free!
Well, sort of. If you have a Mac, and if you have iLife, you have iWeb. Most of you have probably at least opened up iWeb to see what it was all about, and maybe you've even created a website, but don't have anywhere to host it. Steven Sande, over at TUAW, has written an interesting article to get you over that last hurdle - hosting. You can [...]
Gmail Gets Push to iPhone
Remember when you first got your iPhone, you were told that setting up fetch email could drain your battery faster? No? Well maybe I'm just a little too particular about all that stuff. I still had mine set to fetch every 15 minutes, and I had to charge my phone daily. Not to mention you could be getting important emails 15 minutes later than [...]
iPhone Gets MMS!
Well, AT&T has finally promised a date that MMS will be turned on for our iPhones in the US. Mark your calendars - September 25 appears to be the day. They did promise late Summer, and Fall starts on September 22. They only missed it by 3 days. My only gripe is that they should've been ready when Apple was ready with the 3.0 update for the [...]
VMware Fusion 2 and Snow Leopard – Better?
I'm eagerly awaiting the FedEx truck to bring my Family Pack of Snow Leopard to my door. While I'm doing so, I'm researching a few of the apps I use most on my Mac. VMware Fusion is a great product. It lets me do the things that I require Windows for without me having to own a PC to do it. VMware posted an article with a misleading title [...]
