Brethren releases i-Laugh, iApplaud for iPhone
Brethren Software has released two new applications for the iPhone and iPod touch, i-Laugh and iApplaud. i-Laugh provides 20 unique digital laugh sounds, each with a different length of time play. A scrolling interface allows users to search through the list and pick from a series of sounds such as straight laughter, short and long laughter, and up to roaring laughter....
Apple's 3G iPod shuffle reviewed: a step too far?
The iPod shuffle has taken on an unusual role in Apple's lineup both as its price leader and as an example of the company's efficiency in design. But with its third version now out the door, there may be signs Apple isn't sure of where to go next with its least expensive media player.
Rumors about a future iPhone
Filed under: Hardware, Rumors, iPhone
There are a few rumors floating around today about the next generation iPhone. The first comes from AppleInsider, who are reporting that a video camera will be a part of that design.Referencing a historically reliable source, AppleInsider claims that a future camera will take higher resolution stills in addition to video. The lack of a video camera has been a glaring omission since the beginning, and many users (including yours truly) have been waiting for its introduction.
Another rumor we're tracking is a boast of "faster internet speeds." Just what could that mean? AT&T's 4G network won't be ready for at least a year. It could refer to WiFi connectivity, as the current model has 802.11b/g (vs. n).
It's all conjecture, of course, so we'll have to wait and see. The iPhone 3G was announced on June 9th of 2008, and iPhone OS 3.0 is scheduled to be released this June. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the 3G phone drop in price while a new model takes the top slot at the same time.
