We already featured a rather interesting iPad app today, but we're not done. InStyle is an iPad app that lets you picture yourself with 200 convincingly-rendered hairstyles (50 if you're using the free version).
Rumors have been abound for months now that Apple is looking to get into the online music locker game, and given they recently took over the domain name for iCloud then it's looking fairly certain the Cupertino outfit is planning something in the cloud space. Add the fact we still don't know what their infamous new data center has been built for and all signs point to something big.
Thanks to the wonderful world of outsourcing, manufacturers, such as Apple, need to order most if not all of their products, such as iPhones, from suppliers, which in turn are responsible for assembling them. And it's now being reported by Digitimes that Apple has ordered slightly fewer for next quarter, roughly 17.5-18 million units, a drop from the 20 million it ordered last quarter. Most units, roughly 16 million, will have GSM chips, while the remaining minority, around 2 million, are set to be CDMA-equipped.
Another day, another iPhone tweak. This time we have a genius little tweak called PictureMe, bringing both timer and rapid shot functionality to the iPhone's camera app.
It never ceases to amaze us the kind of things developers can get up to when they have a jailbroken iPhone to play with. Granted there are the plethora of themes and notification replacements but every so often we get something that breaks the mold. Something comes along that reminds us of just how talented the iOS development community really is.
Now that we're firmly in iPhone 5 rumor season, we're seeing reports both for and against Near Field Communication being present in Apple's next smartphone. While Google's Nexus S currently sports the spangly new payment method, NFC has been slow to catch on outside Japan. Perhaps though, BGR has received the biggest tip yet that Apple is taking the NFC bull by the horns with news the company could be bringing the technology to its Apple Stores.
The wish list for iOS 5 just keeps on growing. We've already had umpteen concepts showing just how Apple should improve the iOS notification handling and now we've got a brand new video, but this time showing el-Jobs and co. how their mobile operating system should be handling voice recognition.
Jailbreakers are an impatient bunch, so it's perhaps no great surprise to anyone that the lack of a jailbreak for Apple's iPad 2 is starting to make some fans of the dark side a little antsy. Hopefully though, help will be at hand sooner rather than later.
Technology is a wonderful thing, especially when two pieces of tech come together to either do something super cool or fix a problem in people's lives. 'Camera For Apple TV' manages to do both, and we love it!
Samsung's Galaxy S II is the current Android king, so it's only natural that it's being thrown into the ring with the current premium handset of choice for the masses, Apple's iPhone 4. In a new video for PocketNow, Brandon Miniman has taken the two smartphones and thrown them into a battle royale to see which is best.
