, Feb 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

It's been a few months since we last heard anything regarding the iControlPad joystick-controller accessory for the iPhone and iPod touch, but according to the project site things have been progressing well.  As of earlier this month, mass production of the controller began, complete with two different versions.

Apple defend App Store censorship: some dirty devs spoiled it for everyone

, Feb 23rd 2010 Discuss [0]

Given Apple's previous attitude toward developers for its App Store, and the regulations it puts in place, it should come as no surprise really that they've thrown the cat among the saucy pigeons this week.  The Cupertino company have rolled out Phil Schiller, head of worldwide product marketing, to explain why purveyors of titillating apps - including swimsuit-clad ladies, jiggling chests and rock-hard glutes - are finding their software unceremoniously yanked, despite meeting Apple's previous age restriction guidelines.  The answer?  Some developers had been submitting "an increasing number of apps containing very objectionable content." Apparently Apple was tiring of customer complaints that the App Store was turning too top-shelf in its offerings, though as we've seen before there's a degree of inconsistency that has led to several accusations of hypocrisy on the company's part.  While many titles from small developers have been pulled from the virtual shelves, others - such as from Playboy and Sports Illustrated - are still on sale.

Photoshop 1.0 recreated for iPhone [Video]

, Feb 22nd 2010 Discuss [1]

Adobe already have a version of Photoshop available for the iPhone in the App Store, but what if your tastes run more retro than that?  Ansca Mobile have taken their Corona iPhone development platform and a copy of Photoshop 1.0, and produced a special version intended for last week's 20th anniversary of the Adobe app.  It allows access to the Photoshop 1.0 Levels panel, taking any image in the iPhone's gallery and letting you tweak white point, black point and gamma, in separate red/green/blue or combined channels.

Sling “didn’t change” SlingPlayer for iPhone for AT&T approval

, Feb 5th 2010 Discuss [0]

Yesterday's news that SlingPlayer for iPhone was finally being allowed to use AT&T's 3G network was widely accompanied by a quote from AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega claiming that Sling Media had modified the code to suit the carrier.  Today, however, Sling Media themselves are claiming that they made no changes to the app; representative John Santoro says "we didn't change anything ... AT&T never discussed any specific requirements with us." Read The Full Story

Sling Player for iPhone getting AT&T 3G streaming

, Feb 4th 2010 Discuss [0]

AT&T's decision to deny iPhone users the ability to stream their Sling content over 3G soured the launch of the app last year, but it seems the carrier has now relented.  According to the press release, AT&T have been testing a freshly "optimized" version of the Sling Player for iPhone software, which it obviously believes won't drag its 3G network to its knees.

VeriFone iPhone payments system gets video demo

, Jan 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Who would've thought that one of the more interesting battles in the mobile space would be for micro-payment systems, but VeriFone have gone on the offensive with their iPhone 3G/3GS based credit-card adapter.  Facing competition from startup Square, Verizon sent over their hardware for TechCrunch to try out; a cradle for the iPhone, rather than the Square 3.5mm-plug dongle, it's clear each system has its pros and cons.

Hang on, where’s iPhone OS 4.0?

, Jan 28th 2010 Discuss [6]

Many of the iPad rumors we heard in the run-up to yesterday’s launch turned out to be false – OLED displays, dual cameras and solar panels all come to mind – but one of the suggestions that had sounded reasonably believable was that the tablet would run iPhone OS 4.0. Last we heard, tipsters suggested that Apple had been sitting on the launch of the updated platform since it contained too many mentions of the iPad, something that would tip developers (and thus the press) that the nigh-legendary tablet was on its way.

Google Voice webapp bypasses iPhone and webOS app stores

, Jan 26th 2010 Discuss [0]

If Google can't get Google Voice onto the iPhone via the App Store, then they're just going to go the long way instead and get in there via the browser.  The search giant has just announced a new, web-based version of Google Voice that allows users to access the VoIP service via their smartphone browser.  Coded with the magic of HTML5, the nippy app works with the iPhone and webOS devices like the Palm Pre, and supports calling, voicemail access and SMS.

AT&T iPhone exclusivity ends Wednesday?

, Jan 25th 2010 Discuss [0]

Stripping iPhone exclusivity from one single carrier has already been shown to pay dividends - UK carrier Vodafone sold 100,000 iPhone 3GS handsets in their first week of sales, despite the handset having long been available from rival O2 - and now there's talk that AT&T will be next to lose their exclusive partner status.  Hot Hardware have apparently heard from an internal source at AT&T that the carrier will lose their iPhone exclusivity this coming Wednesday, though right now there's no confirmation as to which other US carriers might pick up the smartphone.

iPhone Google search could be dumped for Microsoft Bing?

, Jan 20th 2010 Discuss [0]

Hold off on the sarcasm; the rumor is bizarre enough on its own.  According to Business Week's sources, Apple and Microsoft are currently negotiating to make Microsoft Bing the default search engine on Apple's upcoming iPhone OS, a move which would replace Google.  Two sources have apparently told the publication that talks have been in progress for weeks: "Apple and Google know the other is their primary enemy" one explained, adding "Microsoft is now a pawn in that battle."

iPhone OS 4.0 detailed: multitasking & new UI but iPhone 3G/3GS only?

, Jan 19th 2010 Discuss [2]

Apple's press event next Wednesday - which SlashGear will be liveblogging - isn't just expected to see their tablet debut, but the latest version of iPhone OS too, v4.0.  Last we heard, Apple had been sitting on a significant update for the iPhone and iPod touch because there were too many tablet-tipping tidbits in there; now, BGR have supposedly heard about some of the more appealing feature-adds, including the introduction of "a few new ways" to run apps in the background. Also tipped are various UI and graphical changes, that have apparently been made to improve and streamline navigation, together with OS-wide support for multitouch gestures.  Meanwhile there's some vague talk of new synchronization options for the calendar and contacts, though no exact details of what that might be.
