iPhone 4G: The Real Thing
Seems like the earlier leaked picture of the new iPhone 4G is the real deal. News from Gizmodo is saying that Apple's software engineer left the prototype of the new iPhone 4G in a bar after drinking some German beer.
I wonder what is going to happen to that guy...

Further Info Leading to new iPhone release in June
AT&T is denying its employees from taking leaves in June signalling to the possibility of a new iPhone launching in June itself. Earlier than the previous launches which is normally in July.
Sources note that the only time AT&T denies its employees vacation leaves are during the launching of iPhone.
More and more information are suggesting a new iPhone launch in June 2010. There are also some rumours saying that it will be launched on 22nd June.
More pictures of how the new iPhone might look like.

New iPhone this summer?
Canadian Sakstel's CEO seems to note that there will be a new iPhone launching in the middle of the year. Similar to what Apple used to be doing for the past 3 years since the 1st launch of the iPhone.
I guess we will have to wait and see..
Could it look like this?

iPhone OS 4.0
The announcement of the much awaited update on the iPhone OS was announced in the iPhone OS 4.0 keynote yesterday by Steve and the gangs.
As usual, the rumours on Apple devices are most of the time true.
There were only 7 major items that were highlighted by Apple during the keynote:
One thing to note is that Multi-tasking feature is already available for Jailbroken phones with 2 apps hand-in-hand. They are "Backgrounder" which allows you to run apps in the background and "Pro-Switcher" which has the effect like Safari or Palm Pre (card-style).
Apps running in the background with "Backgrounder" has a small badge icon at the bottom left.
Card-style switching from one app to another.
Video speaks more than pictures :)
Just to note again, the multi-tasking feature only works with iPhone 3GS models. Too bad for the older models probably due to the limitation of the older hardware on the previous iPhones.
Next item I would like to talk about is the Folders feature. Again, this is similar feature to "Categories" on the Jailbroken iPhones.
This is how it looks like in the iPhone OS 4.0.
As for the new possibility of changing wallpaper on the 4.0, it was already very much possible via Jailbroken iPhones with the app call "Winterboard". In fact, the Winterboard could change the entire theme of your iPhone.
Below is the example of the Winterboard on the Jailbroken iPhone.
The above are the several noticeable new features on the iPhone OS 4.0. Apple announced that the OS 4.0 will only be available in Summer.

iPad Summarized Details
The much talked about iPad is already in the hands of at least the Americans. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, we would probably have to wait till end of April 2010.
As announced by Apple, the first release will be the iPad WiFi model only. The 3G models will come later.
Major Specifications:
The iPad comes with 10W USB Power Adapter. There is only one problem with this, you can't charge your iPad directly from your computer's USB port. Simple reason, the USB port on your computer typically churns out only 100mA. There is an internal current sensing circuitry in the computer's motherboard which prevents excessive current above 100mA. This is to prevent overheating of the components inside the computer.
Unless you have a high powered USB computer, else use the power adapter that comes along with the iPad. It charges much faster than the high powered USB output anyway.
Till I get my hands on the iPad, take a look at the breakdown done by iFixit.

Enable/Disable iPhone Backup on iTunes
Have you ever been frustrated with your iTunes always backing up each time you sync your iPhone?
It's gets worst if you have lots of apps on the iPhone. Even though the backup speed improves compared to earlier iTunes, still it will take a while to sync.
There is one solution right now to disable the backup. You could enable or disable upon your request.
Best thing is.. it's FREE!
The program is called iPhone Backup Switch.
Just take note that you have to ensure that the iTunes is not running before executing the program.
The downside, it only works on Windows OS.
Click "Disable" to disable iPhone backup and "Enable" to re-enable the backup. That's very simple!

BlackBreeze fixed iTunes 9.1 sync with Jailbroken iPhone 3.1.2?
I am not sure if this works everytime on everybody but it's worth giving it a try if you have updated your iTunes to 9.1 and currently having syncing problem with your Jailbroken iPhone.
- Firstly, you have to download BlackBreeze program from ih8sn0w website. ih8sn0w is the creator of this fix. But unfortunately, at the moment the fix is only for Windows OS. Doesn't seem to be able to find the Mac version of the fix.
- Click on the "blackra1n - iTunes 9.1 fix" to download the .exe file.
- Select blackra1n RC3
- Select where to save the fixed blackra1n RC3 program (blackra1n-fixed.exe)
- Execute the blackra1n-fixed.exe file and restart your device. This should enable you to sync your Jailbroken iPhone 3.1.2 on the iTunes 9.1

iPhone Apps Reviews: Chop Chop Ninja
It's a game by the developer Gamerizon. It had been getting a very good customer rating. Up to now, there are 519 users which think it's worth 5 stars in the iTunes.
The name of today's app is Chop Chop Ninja.
Indeed sounded like something to do with food but trust me on this, it is far from anything that you could put into your mouth =P
At the moment, this app is free but only for a very very limited time only!
Don't wait any longer, go to iTunes and start downloading!
The story of the game is that the emperor's daughter is in danger and you as the ninja is supposed to help save the princess. There are several ninja abilities that you will learn while on the journey to save her. You will have to evade some traps, destroy enemies and others to get pass each stage.
This is where it all begins..
The bottom left is your life bar while the bottom right shows the number of remaining lives.
This is where you learn the additional ninja moves as the game goes..
Going through the tutorial will guide you on the action keys of the game.
I'll just give a brief introduction to the gesture required to play the game.
Touch and hold the right of the screen will enable the ninja to move forward while holding the left of the screen will move in the other direction.
Tapping on the screen at the top side will make the ninja jump. Upon coming towards an opponent, tap behind the opponent in order to attack. Keep tapping the screen until the opponent is defeated. You will get a hang of the movements after several tries during the game.
Overall, the movements and actions during the game is superb. Everything is well responding and very easy to navigate as well..
Notice that there is a rocket at the back of the ninja. This enable the ninja to "fly" higher in order to obtain the golds but then obviously it will run out after a certain time.
There are several areas where you will have to enter during the game via a small door. Tapping on the door will open it and guide the ninja towards the door.
The Japanese gong on the right as you can see in orange colour is where the checkpoint is. You don't have to start from the beginning if you are dead halfway during the fight!
There are several types of creatures in this game, namely scorpion, snakes, ninjas and others. Remember tapping directly on the back of the opponent to terminate it..
Notice a green potion at the top of the scorpion picture? This is where you recharge your life after all the beatings..
Other potions are also available. The picture below actually shows the ninja with the "invisible" potion. I think you know what that means..
Upon completing the game, you will be brought back to the emperor. With the stuff that you have collected, the emperor will try to revive the daughter which is currently under some spell..
The 1st time, it doesn't work and that's how the game moves on. The emperor will once again give you instruction to go collect another sets of items to revive his daughter and off you go again in another journey to the next stage. There are several more stages before you eventually get to revive the daughter successfully.
More actions..
Verdict: I will give an overall rating of 10/10 for this one. One of the major reason is that the game is currently FREE!
Quick grab it before the free period is over!
