Nothing to be done, the little house Apple is not resigned to simply disappear from the market, and a roar back in a rumor that it wants alive and well, revised and corrected, at Macworld next January (where Steve Jobs will go, you mean). It may depend on the feeling that the Mac mini was that virtually everything the opposite of everything that is done the same site that had announced the death in 2007, now suggests that not only return but will also be revamped, inside and out. The mini-computer with the apple above should be redesigned with technology Unibody typical of the new line of laptops and some internal parts would become free of PVC, so that we can announce as the “Mac greenest ever, even under the small size and limited energy absorption.

For the video-out, of course, you’ll see a DisplayPort and RAM available will be increased to 2 GB, expandable to 4 GB (against the current 1 GB, expandable to 2 GB).

MacNN has published a photo of what should be the new iPod nano 4G in its original packaging. The picture seems to confirm once again the tens of indiscretions that are rimbalzate network in recent days from the first reconstruction graphics up to cases already on sale.

The device comes in a plastic, the same as those used for iPods for some years. The color is an orange lit, unusual choice for the nano but already used in the penultimate generation iPod Shuffle. Islam also indiscretions on the storage capacity of the new iPod: the small house Apple should reach 16GB in the highest band.

A few hours from ‘Apple events already seems to know everything, or nearly on the new iPod nano. We hope that Jobs not floor and still be able to surprise its audience.

There is great anticipation for the release of Android, the operating system developed by Google along with other telephone companies. The platform will be distributed free to companies that will make the request and will adapt to their terminals. After a series of delays, now the date for the issue is set for November, ahead of Christmas campaign.

The question that challenges users are buying a phone now or wait will be worth? I believe that at this moment no one can answer with certainty, but some come from version 0.9 screenshot dell’SDK. The images show how the user interface. If there are sufficient after the jump also found a video.

Not to give Psystar won, the company that produces the notorious Mac clones with brand Open Computer, and meets the case brought by Apple for direct violation of the EULA Mac OS X. The licenses, he says, are genuine.

As you will recall, first Apple had remained curiously silent, then it is simply exploded, reaching even to request the withdrawal of all existing machines and already distributed by the company producing clones. It ‘obvious that the question becomes vital, especially considering that such a request, if accepted, would lead to virtually bankrupt Psystar.

Hence the answer. Not only will fight in court, but have availed themselves of Carr & Ferrell LLP, the law firm that has already beaten Apple during the dispute with Burst.com, risoltosi in an agreement by well extrajudicial 10 million dollars. After all, they say to Psystar, Apple earns for every Open Computers sold, as each licence Leopard is purchased from the Apple Store at full price sales.

Hard to say if a thesis of this kind can stand up in court, but it goes without saying that it is in full right of Apple defend its intellectual property especially now that between Mac do-it-yourself and assembled homemade, clones into circulation starting to be a little ‘too many.

According to reports Gear Live, Apple has sent to developers the first beta firmware 2.1 dedicated to iPhone and 3G i Phone. As we learn, this new version contains initially debut the new notification system, announced at WOODCUT, which allows developers to equip their applications a sophisticated instrument of notification of updates and changes when they are not active.

Secondly, this firmware 2.1 contains a new framework for the GPS location: the new form of Core Location would open the door to navigation turn-by-turn, can collect information about direction and speed (absent in the current form, which simply take up the position moments later).

The firmware 2.1 is expected in September (according to the promises of Steve Jobs availability of the notification system), but should be preceded by a minor update (2.0.1) dedicated to solving the problems of youth firmware 2.0.

After the release of the so-called Pwnage Tool 2.0, one day, some things jump to the eye. The software is not mature as hoped el’approccio of Dev Team has become the subject of some fierce criticism would not be a real release, but rather a custom firmware. And while the holders of the first generation dell’iPhone ask themselves if they agree or not to update.

Certainly, after following the procedures pwning on its iPhone, too many users complain of similar problems. Mail crashes, for example, and Edge is irretrievably compromised. As might be expected, are also emerging the first solutions to these problems of youth, and there will be a lot because implemented directly in the software. Many sconsigliano to restore the backup made automatically from iTunes and set a new iPhone. This is another complication, because it involves the loss of the SMS, learn words and so on. Not to mention that many – for scarce technical skills or ineffectiveness of Pwnage Tool, goes’ you know – have transformed their iPod or iPhone Touch in a futile iBrick.

The Italian group Dark Apples, which we have already spoken on other occasions, does not use uncertain terms and share the technique used by Dev Team to that of Dr. Victor von Frankenstein. In particular, it supports:

After the release of version 1.1 of official TapYourFriends, in these days was presented to desktop version also available directly to this page. The version for desktop PCs, in addition to all the functions already present on iPhone / iPod Touch, offers the opportunity to upload photos directly from your computer. On further development of this project made in Italy, Andrea tells us (a developer):

We are already working on a native application to be distributed later on iTunes where you upload photos directly from iPhone and new functions, the date scheduled for release in autumn. I remember that the application TapYourFriends is also available on Apple, in the category WebApps.

The famous Dev Team has announced he is the author of the first jailbreak in the world of 3G iPhone.

As you know, merit would be the so-called Pwnage Tool, which are available images and videos on their blogs. In addition all’iPhone of the first generation, in fact, and all ‘iPod Touch, in the screenshot proposed would head the latest arrival in the family, the model 3G.

In their last post, explaining that much of the technology in use was already ready before the official mobile phone and that they were sure of success. Unfortunately, the need to test further the software is for the Dev Team imperative than the date of release. And so, at least for some time yet, ask users to have a little ‘patience, and meanwhile they stuzzicano typing:

Despite the rampant iPhone mania, the interest towards the full touchscreen rival of RIM, the BlackBerry Thunder, continues to be high, by virtue of its interesting technical specifications together to design and cutting-edge services.

The latest update on this phone he proposes crackberry, showing a photo live this interesting smartphones. From the photos, in addition to design and materials, you can see the keyboard software, available as a QWERTY mode landscape and how Sure Type a 20 keys candybar mode.

In addition to these specifications, confirmed the tactile response of the keys while typing software (the user will have a microvibrazione as feedback) and the screen glass multi-touch, able to exploit a browser based on the same engine that dell’iPhone .

Although Italy is a country often marginalized when it comes to product launches technology preview, this time with the Samsung i900 Omnia, the Country Fair will be the first to market smart phone touchscreen both commented in recent days.

Scheduled for the European debut on 22 July, the Omnia will be available in reservation preview thanks to Mediaworld that from July 14 to accept the first orders. If you think that a reservation is not attractive enough, however, know that the surprises do not end anymore.

By reserving your smart phone, in fact, in homage receive an Xbox 360 Arcade, excellent incentive for the purchase of a mobile phone. The Omnia Samsung i900 will be available in 8GB version at a price of 499 €.
