Another day, another Verizon iPhone rumor. AppleInsider has posted that Apple is going to build (use your Doctor Evil voice) 3 million CDMA iPhones in December alone. Could this mean an iPhone for Verizon or Sprint (ha!) in time for WWDC 2011 or just another iLog in the rumor fire? Read more

CDMA iPhones Being Built in December?
Weet Posts What’s To Come for Version 1.0.1
Today, Federico posted a review of Weet, his new default twitter client for iPhone. @WeetApp posted a tweet a few minutes ago and they revealed their change log. Seems like a biggie for only a 1.0.1 release. This update was sent to Apple on September 16th, so we can hope Apple will approves it any day. Here is the list of fixes/changes/additions: Read more
Awareness Lets You Listen to Music And Hear Outside Noises
My parents used to hate my iPod: every time they were around I had my earbuds on, and I couldn’t hear them. They talked, talked and talked and I was happily enjoying some Oasis on my beloved Classic. Eventually my mom got that iPod Classic, but that’s a different story. I wish I had Awareness for iPhone back then. Read more

How To Change Icons on iPhone 4 Without Jailbreaking
Works only with 3rd party applications, and requires an additional Mac app. Nice.

Does App Store.app Need Queuing & Download Progress?
If only there was an “Add to Queue” option, that adds the desired application to a list of apps to be downloaded when a WiFi connection is established. The apps would automatically download when you get home, back to the office, etc.
Another issue I have with the App Store’s downloading process is that it forces you out of the App Store itself when you choose to download an application. Why does it need to send the user back to their Home screen? If the user is interested in placing the new app in a specific position/folder, they can do this when they choose to leave or are done shopping.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Much needed features.
Meet My Default Twitter Client on iPhone, Weet
Twitter clients on the iPhone? We had enough, thank you. That’s what I used to say to any developer pitching me and asking whether I thought yet another iteration of Twitter on the iPhone would be a good idea. I was wrong, and here’s why: despite the fact that a genre could be (is) over-crowded and saturated, there’s always the possibility to do better. And as Twitter as a platform is constantly evolving, giving up on ideas just because of competitors is silly.
It’s a fact that we have hundreds of clients to choose from. What’s not so obvious is that you never know who may come up next.
So here we are, talking about Weet. Developed by Raptor Apps and designed by ex-Iconlicious pixel rockstar Marcelo Marfil, Weet was released last week with much buzz over Twitter and other Apple-related blogs. I beta tested the app all along, but I decided to take my time and use it for some more days before writing up something about it.
I’ve been using Weet for a month as the default Twitter client on my iPhone. In fact, I deleted all the other Twitter apps I had. Here’s why. Read more
AT&T to Release Third-Quarter 2010 Earnings on Oct. 21
With the announcement of the iPhone 4 and increased production of iPads this year, it makes me wonder what bragging rights AT&T will continue to have? Hmm, where would AT&T be without Apple - probably right there with Sprint, ouch. Read more

Steve Jobs Interviewed By Police Over iPhone 4 Prototype
We haven’t heard of the “stolen” iPhone 4 prototype story for a while, nor do we have had any updates on the police investigation that is still ongoing. Apple hasn’t commented publicly on the matter since last April, and it’s not that we’re missing the whole headline war to get the latest scoop on Jason Chen and Brian Hogan love affair - we’re just curious to know how this will end.
Macnn is reporting (via CNET) that a number of Apple employees have been interviewed by the police together with Apple CEO himself, Steve Jobs, about the allegedly stolen iPhone prototype. Read more
