As the white iPhone 4 continues to be delayed, the next big Apple question is, “What could possibly go wrong with the same exact phone that’s just a different color?” That’s the million dollar question (or if you’re Apple: answer) that’s yet to be unveiled. I still think Apple is being a little too picky over their pretty white coats, and it could be too that if Apple and suppliers are struggling to meet demand with black iPhones, they’ve decided not to focus on white ones. Some suggest that Apple may release an exclusive white iPhone on Verizon as rumors get louder, but that would be too shady.
White iPhone 4 Delays Might Not be Because of Color
Motorola Makes Fun of iPhone 4, Again - Droid Fans Laugh At Apple
It seems like the latest trend in the smartphone advertising scene is to make fun of Apple by designing banners containing supposedly funny and enjoyable quotes about reception, cases, bars and whatever it is that makes you think about the iPhone 4.
Samsung did it a few days ago. Motorola is doing it again. Droid-Life laughs at Apple, because Motorola decided to run this ad. Makes sense?
Check out the popular banner and alleged smart description of the product below. Oh, and here’s video of the Droid X, too.
Is Sex Censored from the iBook’s Best-Seller’s List Too?
Apple’s iron fist is starting to touch a nerve with publishers. First they selectively blocked a subscription based app, and now Apple has removed some of the sexually loaded content from their best of list on the book store. What’s going on guys? You have a romance section that’s fair game.

Should You Consider an iMac or a Mac Pro?
Yesterday Apple launched new iMacs, a new Mac Pro, a new Cinema Display and…a Battery Charger. Yes, it was a great day. And yes, many “pro” users still don’t know whether they should out their works in the hands of a Mac Pro beast or just go with an iMac by choosing the highest configuration. I mean, those are powerful machines, right?
Let Marco Arment tell you what you should do.
Apple Rejecting iPad Subscription Models on the App Store?
If the iPad is supposed to be the future of publishing, you’d expect a subscription based model here or there right? Well apparently not. If you’re curious as to why publications like Wired and Men’s Health sell individual issues at higher than average prices, it’s because they’re unable to adopt a subscription model.
Next-Gen iPod Touch Spotted In The Wild, Again
I really don’t know what’s wrong with these people losing prototypes. I mean, are they actually losing them, or intentionally dropping them to see them end up on blogs and secretly rejoice for what they did? We’ll never know.
Pano, Now Fully iPhone 4 Compatible
Pano was one of the applications I used the most on my old iPhone 3GS: it’s an awesome photography application that lets you take a series of pictures to build a panoramic view. It’s simple and produces stunning results.
Too bad that as I got the iPhone 4 I tried to install Pano, take some a picture and…it crashed. I tried again, and it kept crashing. Something was wrong with the iPhone 4 camera, I figured. Now, I’ve just noticed an update for Pano in iTunes, which fixes those camera incompatibilities and makes the app fully compatible with the new device.
Awesome news. Pano is available at $2.99 in the App Store.
Safari 5.0.1 Addresses AutoFill Security Vulnerability
If you haven’t updated to Safari 5.0.1 yet for Safari Extensions, maybe you should to address a recent security vulnerability? MacRumors reports that the latest update addresses a critical flaw that could allow malicious sites to gather Address Book information. According to Apple,
Safari’s AutoFill feature can automatically fill out web forms using designated information in your Mac OS X Address Book, Outlook, or Windows Address Book. By design, user action is required for AutoFill to operate within a web form. An implementation issue exists that allows a maliciously crafted website to trigger AutoFill without user interaction.
