4. June 2009
TUAW reports that they received an anonymous tip containing a screenshot of an AT&T support page that lists an “iPhone Video” device alongside listings for the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G.

Hot on the heels of Psystar’s bankruptcy filings comes a report that another clone maker wants to test their luck against Apple. CNET reports that a company called “Quo” will start manufacturing their own hackintosh boxes, and in an interesting twist, will sell them at an old fashioned brick and mortar store as opposed to […]
Continue reading...Palm Pre still syncs with iTunes 8.2
4. June 2009
Last week we reported that the upcoming Palm Pre can sync with iTunes, a move which we labled as “terribly shortsighted” on the part of Palm. After all, Apple can presumably issue an iTunes software update which would effectively prevent iTunes from recognizing the Pre, leaving Palm customers confused and annoyed in the process. But […]

3. June 2009
Long forgotten in the seemingly never ending list of of banned apps from the iTunes App Store was Slasher, an app which displayed a large knife on the screen and emitted a “horror” sound when shaken. Apple banned it from the app store last August, but now, for whatever reason, it’s back up and live […]
