Apple Seeds iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 3 and New SDK to Developers

Apple Seeds iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 3 and New SDK to Developers


Apple today seeded the third beta version of iPhone OS 3.0, along with a new build of the software development kit (SDK), to developers. World of Apple republishes the seed notes for the SDK, detailing a number of changes to various c...

Aperture, iMovie, Server Admin Tools updates available

Filed under: , ,

Yesterday Apple pushed out three updates via Software Update. According to Apple, iMovie 8.0.2 "...fixes an issue with projects having a size of 0 KB." That's a problem all right.

Aperture 2.1.3 is also available now and "...addresses minor issues in a number of areas, including the display of thumbnails on import and image rotation."

Finally, Apple has also pushed out Server Admin Tools 10.5.6v1.1 which is required to administer Mac OS X Server version 10.5.6 from a remote Mac client. These updates weigh in at 24.1MB, 48.11MB and 92.7MB respectively. The interesting thing here is that Apple was actually a bit forthcoming with exactly what these updates address. Not totally, mind you, but better than the "bug fixes" we usually get.

iPhone Apps Apple Doesn't Want You to Install
Here's a selection of favorite forbidden -- but useful and fun -- iPhone applications on Apple's banned list.

iPhone's Going Places: Enterprises, Other Networks, China?
It looks as though Apple might finally be able to crack the China market with its iPhone. The rumor mill at one time had the company in talks with China Mobile, the country's leading carrier, but those negotiations apparently fell through over questions of money. Also, Apple is rumored to be finally creating a new, CDMA version of its iPhone that could topple AT&T's exclusive carrier position in the U.S. Meanwhile, the iPhone seems to be catching on in the enterprise, another wide-open market for the device.

at&t looks to keep its iPhone exclusive
AT&T's exclusive deal to sell the iPhone in the U.S. expires next year, and AT&T CEO Stephenson is in talks with Apple for an extension until 2011.

iPhone Software 3.0 beta 3 delivers gradual improvements
Apple on Tuesday evening made available to iPhone developers a third beta of iPhone Software 3.0 showing some early signs of optimizations and carrying with it an updated version of the iPhone SDK 3.0.


New iPhone OS 3.0 beta hits the dev center

Filed under: ,

But you knew this, right? Fire up your downloaders, another update from Apple means the digging has already begun for a) new features or updates, b) hints for a new iPhone.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in! I'd like to note that we broke this via our Twitter feed several hours ago. Even if you don't "do" the Twitter dance, it's a good way to catch breaking news.

First non-Apple Mini DisplayPort Display

The company Cinemaview announced the future availability (September 2009) of 16:9 LCD display featuring a Mini DisplayPort, currently found only on Apple hardware.

Regarding the design, they did not really release a groundbreaking model, it is quite similar to the recently launched Apple 24" LED Cinema Display. Three different models will be available:

  • 19" with 1440x900 for 299 USD
  • 21" with 1680x1050 for 399 USD
  • 24" with 1920x1080 for 499 USD

If they did not feature a MagSafe connector and use a simple mini jack for the sound, the much lower price should seduce many MacBook owners not ready to purchase the expensive 24" LED Apple Cinema display. Indeed, the most expensive model remains 400 USD cheaper than Apple corresponding unit (even though features are not the same, but they are not necessarily a "must have" for all users).



First non-Apple Mini DisplayPort-compatible displays unveiled
A little-known consumer solutions designer is laying claim to the first non-Apple external LCD displays for Mini DisplayPort-equipped Macs that are designed to look like the Mac maker's new LED-based Cinema Display offerings but retail for a fraction of the cost.
