New iPhone for Mid-June

New iPhone for Mid-June

According to Boygenius, specialized in information collected from AT&T sources, a new iPhone model hould be released around mid-June: 

- Faster hardware.
- A new application will transform the iPhone in a remote control for many house devices. 
- It will support the 3G HSDPA at 7.2 Mbits/s network, etc.

With such news released 3 months in advance, Mac users will have time to discuss about it on our forum.



DealNN: FD 1TB hard drive, OmniVibe, MacBook, more
Today's featured deal of the day from DealNN is on the Fantom Drives G-Force 1TB external hard drive. This hard drive is priced at $109.99 which is $14.96 off the list price of $124.95, and for a limited get an additional $20 off with a mail in rebate offer that drops the final price down to $89.99.

Espresso 1.0 attempts to unify hard-coding
MacRabbit has introduced the first version of Espresso, an editing tool for web developers. The app is specifically intended for manual coding, and organizes the editing of HTML, XML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript into a single interface. The software is normally structured around a single window, but allows tabs to be dragged off into separate panes....



Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset: End of Life?

If the product is still available on the French or EU Apple Stores, the iPhone Bluetooth Headset is "End Of Life" on the US Apple Store.

It remains unclear why Apple removed this product from its catalog. If Apple plans to update this model it would have then maintain it till stock would run empty then come up with the new model... It could also be linked to an issue on the long-term with the product, and to really low salz figures, pushing Apple to let third-parties develop BT headset. However, if hte iPhone OS 3.0 will bring support for Stereo BT and for sure additional third-parties headset, Apple could also come up with a new model, and for hte time being iPhone users might have to find another solution if they do not want to use wire-earbuds.

 



6GB iPhone plans disappearing from Rogers accounts?
Some Canadian iPhone subscribers are suddenly finding themselves overcharged for their data usage, a customer complaint received by MacNN suggests. The customer notes that as with a number of Canadians, he signed up to Rogers Wireless' initial data plan for the iPhone 3G, which cost $30 per month for 6GB. Several months later however a bill for "hundreds of dollars" was received, a result of the...



New SSD Models, but They All Look the Same at the End...

There are currently 2 type of SSD on the market, high-end models sporting a controller associated with a large cache memory allowing high-level of performance especially in writing mode, and entry level models, based on cache-free controller from JMicron, with performance levels quickly and greatly compromised when several requested are sent to the SSD.
Hardwarecanucks tested on of the latest category, the GSKIL Titan offering 256 GB.

 

As expected in some conditions, as soon as the controller is saturated by requests, its small internal cache is overloaded, and performance in writing mode dramatically dropped.

Of course, in conditions where the controller is not saturated, this entry level SSD remains competitive, at least from its target price. If you are looking for a better balance between price and performance, or for the cheapest SSD possible, you will have to wait couple of months, with the release of new controllers offering better performance, and opening the door to competition between controller manufacturers.

 



Scammer shuffles Apple out of 9,000 iPods
Nicholas Arthur Woodhams, a 23 year old from Kalamazoo, Michigan, was recently slapped upside the gord with federal charges of fraud and money laundering after he managed to con Apple into shipping him around 9,000 iPod shuffles.

Take a shot of Espresso 1.0

Filed under: ,

We first started hearing about MacRabbit's Espresso back in September; six months, a public beta and countless cups of coffee later, Espresso 1.0 is finally ready for sipping!

MacRabbit, makers of the award-winning CSSEdit, parlayed the idea of an HTMLEdit companion app into an all around web development app. Right now, Espresso supports HTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript and PHP -- but utilizing plugins (Sugars), Espresso can support more languages and platforms.

Similar to Panic's Coda (another TUAW favorite), you can also directly publish from the app, using FTP, SFTP, FTP/SSL and Amazon S3.

Espresso shares many interface similarities with CSSEdit and the presentation is very, very polished. If you're comfortable with CSSEdit, Espresso will likely fit comfortably into your workflow.

We'll be reviewing Espresso in-depth soon and doing some head-to-head action to see how it stacks up against Coda and TextMate.

Espresso is 59.95€ (about $80 US) and 49.95€ ($68 US) for existing CSSEdit 2 customers. You can try Espresso without limitations for 15 days. Espresso requires OS X 10.5 Leopard or higher.


Thanks Nik!
