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

Instagram Makes Quick Beautiful Photos Social

A couple of my favorite apps on the iPhone currently are Hipstamatic and CameraBag. Like Instagram, both are photo apps that allow you to apply filters to pictures you take with the device. But both are fundamentally flawed in that neither has good sharing or discovery mechanisms. Put another way, neither are very social — at all. Instagram is. And it provides the same type of photo filter manipulation — and maybe even a little better.

Great preview by MG Siegler over at TechCrunch of an upcoming iPhone app to edit photos and share them. Since the mysterious removal of Camera+, I’m looking forward to this.

Mac Users Love Macs. Surprised?

If you bought a Mac, I guess you love it. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to know that you’re deeply in love with your newly bought piece of Ive aluminum. Still, it’s interesting to put these love stories to numbers and see how stats change over time.

The latest American Customer Satisfaction Index survey (via 9to5mac) indicates that, over the past 12 months, Apple computers totaled 78 out of 100, 3 points more than the same survey in 2009. PC stats have increased as well, with PC makers like Dell and HP achieving higher stats, too: 77 points.

People love Macs. Remember that 10.7 is coming next year. Let’s have this survey again in 12 months. Read more

Luxylight Is The Most Beautiful Flashlight App Ever

There are many flashlight apps out there, yet finding a “beautiful” (or at least good-looking) one is a hard task. I mean, a flashlight app is just a flaslight app after all, right?

Well, Sylion doesn’t think so. Luxylight is the most beautiful and functional flashlight application that has ever landed on your iPhone 4. It’s got a leather-ish UI, and giant buttons to guide you through its features. Lickable design and interesting features. You can switch to strobe mode, and even send S.O.S. signals with perfectly timed lights. If you wish, you can lock the screen to prevent accidental key pressing. Luxylight is simply great.

Available for free (ad supported, pro version coming soon) in the App Store. Check out the screenshots below. Read more

I Bought An iPhone 4 in 1985 And I’ll Get 52 iPhones Tomorrow

This is interesting. Pretty similar to Kyle Conroy’s “What if I bought Apple stock instead?” table, Finlay Craig is now telling us that if we had spent £499.00 (the price of an iPhone 4 in the UK) worth of Apple, Inc. stock in 1985 we would have got 52 iPhone 4s today.

52 units. All piled on top of each other. Sounds like a plan. Does this work with iPod Nanos today? ‘Cause I wouldn’t mind getting 279 Nanos in 2024.

You know, that’s how stock works. Kind of. Read more
