Apple has introduced a new section in the App Store: Remotes - Apps to Control Your World, which lists all the best remote applications available for iPhone and iPad. Some great apps such as iTeleport and HippoRemote are in there, so you’d better check out this section here.
Also, lovely graphics.
If you’ve been living under a giant iPod Touch for the past three months, you might need to know that the WWDC is officially kicking off in 3 days, with a keynote from Apple CEO Steve Jobs on June 7th. The expectations are very high, considering that a new iPhone will be announced (and made available the same day, many blogs are reporting) and much other iPhone OS-related goodness will be shown.
It’s gonna be a great event, and we’re sure Steve will be able to make it even better.
The WWDC is almost here, and you can spot the typical Apple excitement all over the web. After all, Steve Jobs promised that we wouldn’t be disappointed this year, and he better come up with something great. Like a new iPhone. Like a OS 4 preview on the iPad. Like new Macbooks. Like a last Get a Mac ad.
You think we’re asking too much? We’ve collected 7 WWDC related videos that can give you a quick idea of what happened in the past. Check them out after the break.
Well it was a good run at least. With AT&T no longer selling the iPhone 3G according to the Boy Genius Report, we can only expect the iPhone 3GS to claim the 3G’s current price point as the next iPhone makes its induction. And with 3G being discontinued so soon, we expect the next iPhone to make its way to market by the end of the month.
I’m not into photography or film, so I have no idea why focusing multiple DSLR cameras wirelessly would be beneficial when you can’t even look at what the hell you’re focusing - but don’t let my ignorance of such topics ruin a perfectly badass device. WirelessIris is an iPhone app that allows you to focus multiple lenses in conjunction with a receiver.
You may have your iPad resting its derriere on your desk dock, but as it sits lifelessly charging, have you ever considered giving it some purpose? Perhaps your official (wo)man-desk needs a bit of a classy clock to spice up the atmosphere.
Lexcycle has released an update to their popular book reader for iPhone, Stanza. The new 3.0 version comes as a free universal update that introduces many new features such as native iPad support, PDF / Comic Book Archive / DjVu compatibility and iTunes file sharing.
Something AT&T didn’t expect when it changed their plans on Monday was the influx of customers who are now racing to purchase an iPad 3G in hopes of getting on the old $30 Unlimited plan, which ends June 7th. The New York Times reports that many customers are downright dissatisfied with AT&T’s new policies, and with the iPad 3G at a shortage, they’re panicking they’ll have to settle for presumably worse. Not wanting to lose potential customers, however, AT&T is considering allowing people to pre-purchase iPad 3G units and sign up for the plan they want as to alleviate people’s fears. Still, even if many are arguing that these plans are actually better for you, I argue that a savings in only $5 doesn’t constitute capped data; many customers (even if many are uninformed) are incredibly concerned about these new policies. AT&T, you may want to make a special exception for the iPad as to uphold the original strategy.
Thanks everyone who entered our giveaways in the past week. We’d also like to thank all the developers who offered their products to MacStories readers, so be sure to drop a “thank you” in case you’ve won something!
Anyway, you’ll find the winners after the break. Congratulations!
