Oh, you’re so funny Samsung. You designed an ad with “Hello” on top, but instead of Ls you put bars in there. Oh, so funny.
Now, please remind us what’s your exact status in the smartphone market, please. It’s so easy to hide mistakes by making fun of someone else.
It’s clear that Apple wants the whole Antennagate thing to stop, but people can’t help but releasing spoof videos - and they’re actually pretty funny. Here’s a new one: Darth Vader calls Apple, asking about his iPhone 4.
As TechCrunch reports, the choice lines:
“Are you seriously defending the new phone by saying that it almost performs as well as the old phone? Is that what the plan is?”
“So everybody gets hit with 4 times the radiation just because these idiots can’t work together?”
“Ha ha, and get what, the EVO? I mean those poor saps are having light leaks and their screens peeling off after a couple of days.”
“And don’t even get me started on the Droid X. Uh, let’s see, you take the original phone, remove the physical keyboard, make it as big as a toaster, and still don’t add a front-facing camera? Yeah, that’s progress.”
“Look, just level with me: it’s AT&T isn’t it? If it is just cough or something.”
Oh, when they talk about good timing. I was actually thinking about this a few minutes ago, and here’s a major update for 1Password Pro. The latest 3.5 version (universal for iPhone and iPad) introduces full support for iOS 4 and iPhone 4 (with high-resolution graphics), Dropbox sync and a new “Look up in 1Password” iPad bookmarklet. (update: tested, works great on the iPad)
Together with bug fixes and improvements, we also have new auto-lock features for multitasking - a pretty much needed option for devices running the new OS. The app comes at $14.99 in the App Store and it’s available here.
Must-have.
A few hours ago Apple released an update for Mac OS X Server, which reaches version 10.6.4 Update 1.1. Check out the full changelog after the break.
It looks like Steve wants more Apple Stores around the world. You know, he’s never satisfied - and can you blame it with those breaking earnings they posted earlier this week?
Anyway, as TUAW and Macsimum News report, two new Apple retail stores are opening this week: a new store in Lexington, KY opening this Saturday at 10am and another store in Columbus, OH.
If you happen to be there, snap a few picture for us. We’ll be glad to post them.
A great update has been released for one of the best Twitter clients for iPhone and iPad: Twitterrific reaches version 3.0.1, which introduces a handful of new features, lots of iOS 4 improvements and even more bug fixes.
Well, that’s one original way of holding the iPhone. I might start holding it that way when my friends are around.
I keep reading posts on the internet about people stating that the iPad is the perfect device to consume content. They say it’s perfect for music, videos, pictures. I’m ok with that. It’s true: the tablet form factor surely helps a lot in practicing these activities.
I also read posts and comments from other people, these ones claiming that there’s no way you can produce original content on the iPad. They have a pretty large following, too. They share consensus that if a device is perfect for consuming, then it must be terrible at producing.
Let me tell you why they’re wrong.
Yes, indeed they kept up to the promise the made last week. As first reported by RazorianFly, many customers who bought a Bumper for the iPhone 4 are now receiving an email from Apple for a full and automatic refund. A simple Twitter search reveals that many users are getting these emails.
At this point, the order page to get a free Bumper on Apple.com should go live very soon.
