We have been constantly reporting on all the latest Black Friday deals from almost all the major online retailers in the US. Apple, whose Black Friday sale offers first appeared on the Australian and New Zealand stores this morning has now got them up in US as well. The US Apple Store has published all the shopping deals that we previously reported about here. This is the only big sale that Apple offers to its consumers every year and you sure don't want to miss out on getting your favorite Apple product at discounted price.
Black Friday has already started in some parts of the world which marks the beginning of the 2009 holiday shopping season. To celebrate this special day, Apple has launched its only sale of the year on almost all the popular product items. The sale offers by Apple are modest at best, when you compare them to what others like Microsoft are offering on this special day.
You would have heard all sorts of things from different smartphone manufacturers about how the lack of physical keyboard on the iPhone makes it a completely no go for a heavy texter. So for those of you who find it to difficult to make a switch from other smartphones like Blackberry, to the iPhone because of the sheer lack of physical keyboard on it, 4iThumbs is the answer for you.
Verizon with its “iDont, Droid Does” advertising campaign has been ruthlessly targeting Apple iPhone, including Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs personally with its recent ad in Sports Illustrated magazine last week. These Droid ads clearly shows how desperate Verizon is to pitch its phones against the mighty iPhone. The Big ‘V’ has got the two Droid phones and is trying too hard to promote them. How far this ad war is going to benefit them is a bit too early to comment on. But one thing that we all were sure off was that Apple is going to respond to them sooner rather than later.
Multifl0w is an iPhone app which allows switching between applications running in background in a beautiful Palm Pre style cover flow-like mode. It will basically act as a graphical extension to the already popular app from Cydia called Backgrounder to present all opened apps in a tabbed view, similar to the view seen on Mobile Safari. The combination of Multifl0w and Backgrounder will be a treat to have for power users who wants to run multiple apps at the same time on the iPhone. For better comprehension, you may have a look at the screenshot attached below.
There are times when you would suddenly like to instantaneously capture a scene or a nearby happening with your iPhone but the time available to take such shots is always limited. One normally misses out these precious moments when trying to capture them through iPhone using the native Camera app because of the time the built-in camera app takes in starting, taking picture and then closing. This problem has now been resolved for jailbroken iPhone users by Marc Vaillant who has developed a very useful app like qTweeter called “Snappy”.
From last one month or so, jailbroken iPhone community has remained under constant threats from various types of worm attacks. First time that we warned you about was when a Dutch hacker tried to access jailbroken iPhones through SSH in his native country Netherlands. He offered remedy for 5 Euros. Another attempt was by Ikee, an Australian, who was successful in injecting a worm into jailbroken iPhone’s whose users had forgot to change their root password for SSH. This worm ikee, however, did not cause any harm to the victim’s iPhone, but it laid a foundation for another worm that could harm iPhone users indefinitely.
Car Finder has to be one of the most useful augmented reality app to hit for iPhone 3GS. This app uses the built-in GPS and Compass in iPhone 3GS to locate and track the car you have parked from anywhere you are. Now before going into detail on how this app actually works, lets first take a look at what “Augmented Reality” really is.
In the pre-release test Roms of Windows Mobile 6.5 for HTC HD2, pinch-to-zoom functionality was available across all apps by which one could finger pinch any application on the screen and it would zoom in. In the final release, however, this useful feature was confined to only a few selective apps on the device that had small elements on screen. Thanks to this tiny application called Zooomer for the HTC HD2, we can now enable pinch-to-zoom multi-touch capability in any program on this Windows Phone. All apps may not really be able to take all the advantage from it but atleast it gives us the choice to select the apps in which we need this functionality.
