The “How to” for your iPhone
Apple September 2010 media event: The details
Well, it has come and gone. Apple’s september media event has finished. For those of you who were watching the whole live feed right here, you would have seen some awesome hardware and software as well.
Steve Jobs on stage, points out “partner in crime” Steve Wozniak in the audience. Thanks audience for coming. “Really cool stuff” to show you.
- Apple retail update: Showing off new stores in Paris, Shanghai, Covent Garden (London). Now 300 stores in ten countries with Spain coming soon. Some days see over 1 million visitors to retail stores. 80,000 One to One classes per week. Over half of Mac purchasers in retail stores are new to Mac.
Onlive gaming on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad
For years, people have been gaming using either a games console or a decent PC. Of course as of very recently, Mac gamers have been getting in on the action as gaming company Valve recently added Mac support for their Steam gaming platform. Even those on the iphone, iPod Touch and the iPad have been getting in on the action. However, some of the hardware is not capable of playing a game. Those with hardware that is just about capable of playing a game will experience very slow performance.
Very soon, a new service called OnLive will fix this. Put simply, OnLive is a service that will stream games to a TV, a PC, a Mac computer, an iphone, an iPod Touch or an iPad. If you are on a TV, then you would need to buy a special microconsole that plugs into the back of your TV. If you have a controller that will connect via USB, then this will work as will. If you are on any of the devices mentioned above, you would have to download the Onlive client and connect using your broadband connection.
Photoshop for iPad fixed and updated
Well, that didn’t take too long. After a rather horrible debut Friday Adobe has fixed Photoshop Express so it can now open in the landscape mode.How exactly was this app tested by Adobe and Apple? You’d think since most photo editing is done in the landscape orientation it would have been operated that way. I’d expect that kind of bug to be discovered immediately. Since Adobe is a premier graphics company you’d also think they would choose a logo for the product that doesn’t resemble a roll of toilet paper.
iPod Touch and iOS Media Event Scheduled for Mid August
In a follow-up to my previous post on the parts for the fourth generation iPod touch, mac rumors has reported from one of it’s sources that Apple may be scheduling a special media event for sometime during the middle of August 2010.
The content of this purported media event will have an iPod Touch, iOS 4 for iPad, maybe a refresh on the iPod line, may info about iOS 4.1 and possibly updates to the iLife package as well.
Windows 7 on the iPad
For those of you who have jailbroken your iphone, iPad or iPod Touch, then you may already be aware of a simple little app called Veency. This is available from cydia, and it will allow you to use your device as a VNC server. This means that you could control your device from any other device with a VNC client.
For those of you who are not aware, you can install a VNC server application on your Windows 7 PC and control it from your iPad using a VNC client like desktop connect. For an example of how this might look, take a look at this video. Of course there might be some delay from you touching the screen to make a keystroke to the computer (the VNC server) receiving the command. This is because you would be doing this over Wi-Fi. I have left a video below showing what this would look like.
It’s now legal to jailbreak
For those of you that don’t know what jailbreaking is, you can have a look at what it is by clicking here. For those of you who have jailbroken in the past, don’t upgrade to the latest version of the iOS or you will lose your jailbreak until the newest version of the jailbreaking tools have been released by people like the iphone dev team or geohot (who’s blog is officially private at the time of writing this post).

Steve Jobs says the iPad came first
Back at the 8th All Things Digital conference in June, Steve Jobs revealed that the iPad was actually thought of before the iphone. Put simply, Jobs and a few of his colleagues were working on a multitouch display which could used to type on like a standard computer keyboard. However, when they managed to get inertial scrolling working on the display, they realised that they could make a phone from the same display. So they put the tablet on hold for some time and got to work on the iphone. For the full story, take a look at the youtube video below.
