“Somehow”? You announced the release date at the E3 2010. Stay classy, Square Enix.
So we launched the new MacStories today (we hope you like it as much as we do), and we kicked things off with a massive giveaway of great Mac apps. We’ve got even more.
Below you’ll find some great apps for iPhone (hey, some are Universal too!) and the instructions to follow to the enter this second giveaway. Read more
This time I’m not going to say that the iPhone 4 is great and the Retina Display is magical, so let’s just go straight to the point: you can build your own iPhone microscope for just 10 dollars. It’s an impressive 45x microscope which is sold on Amazon at $7 on average that, combined with a cheap hard plastic case, will allow you to snap pictures of your skin and flowers just like scientists do.
Check out the photo set over at Crabfu ArtWorks, and the embedded video below. Oh by the way, I somehow managed to say that the Retina Display is magical. Please add this iPhone microscope to the list of awesome things I must not mention every single day. Read more
As soon as iOS 4.1 comes out this week (as announced by Steve Jobs at last week’s Apple music event) iPhone 3G users should feel safe to upgrade. In case you don’t know, iOS 4 for iPhone 3G wasn’t exactly “perfect”: to cut short, it was slow. I tried an iPhone 3G running the magical iOS 4: it was barely usable. Even a stupid task like unlocking the phone took a few seconds more than usual, not to mention springboard navigation and Safari. Everything was slow and slow-motion - at a point you couldn’t believe Apple shipped such a thing. Read more
At least, that’s what asymco claims. We knew that there were 59.6 million iPhones and 3.2 million iPads through June; at the music event last Wednesday, Apple announced that 120 million iOS devices were sold to date. So asymco assumed that Apple sold 8 million iPhones and 4 million iPads during July and August, and they came up with a 45.2 million iPod Touches sold to date estimate. That’s 37.7% of total units.

Just in case you were thinking about ditching your iPhone 4 for a brand new HTC with a physical keyboard and Android - hold on! You can get a sliding QWERTY thing on your magical iPhone 4, too.
I also wonder whether you could hold this whole thing wrong or not. Does it have worse reception if you lay your legs on it? Can you put another iPhone on it? That would be meta.
The only truth is you can’t buy this. But you can make it. Just ask Jony for the glass.
People just can’t stop stuffing the iPhone 4 inside SLR cameras, can they? I don’t know if these hacks actually work or are mere geek material for posts, still I can’t help but think that they’re incredibly cool.
And the latest one we’re covering here could be the best we’ve ever found: someone really did create an iPhone 4 case out of a SLR Canon. They took out its internal parts, they re-assembled everything and stuffed the iPhone 4 inside. Could an iOS-like interface be the future of SLR cameras? I don’t know, but man - it’s great.
