Microsoft has today released an early, open-source version of its Windows Bridge porting tool for iOS, software that helps developers take apps and games made for iOS and port them over to Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
Alongside the developer beta 5 of iOS 9, Apple has also released third public beta of iOS 9 for those who are enrolled in Apple's Public Beta Program. Both seeds from today carry the same build number 13A4325c, which means both releases are identical but are pushed through different channels.
It's fair to say that Microsoft has fully embraced the existence of the Apple Watch from initial launch. Owners of Apple's precise and beautiful timepiece have been able to interact with a number of Microsoft apps pretty much from day one. The software giant has now shown its clearest indication yet that it will continue to develop cutting-edge software that's compatible with the Apple Watch by releasing an upgrade to its popular Microsoft Outlook email app which brings extended compatibility for the wrist-worn gadget.
Apple has today released an updated version of TestFlight, meaning developers can finally start testing iOS 9 and watchOS 2 apps on real hardware. While the update stops just short of allowing developers to publish apps to external beta testers, today's update is a welcome addition, and one that is a sign that Apple is edging ever nearer to iOS 9 and watchOS 2 releases.
Apple has continued to develop and evolve its Beats 1 radio station with a new update that will surely appeal to lovers of the station. A new Replay feature has been rolled out as part of an apparent stealth platform update that lets listeners catch up on specific segments of broadcasts that may have been missed. As you know, Beats 1 is an "always on" radio station broadcasting around the world, so it stands to reason that certain users in certain territories will occasionally miss out on content that they would've loved to listen to. The Beats 1: Replay feature should go some way to resolving that issue.
Every so often someone comes along and thinks they're funny. Just as regularly, they make a video out of it. What a time to be alive.
It looks as though Apple could be about to follow in the footsteps of Google Project Fi by launching its own mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO as it's more affectionately known as. According to a new report, Tim Cook's Cupertino based company is currently in talks with partners over the possibility of effectively operating as its own carrier with operations in the United States and various European territories, thanks to deals with existing suppliers in those areas.
Apple's iMessage, like so many other instant messaging solutions, sends read receipts to those who have sent you messages. The idea is that everyone can see when their messages have been read by the receiving party which should mean you no longer have to wonder whether your message was received or not. It's a great feature, but it can have its problems.
