We have a release date for Google’s Goggles iPhone application. Sort of. The Register reports that, during the Hot Chips conference at Stanford University on Monday, Google staff engineer David Petrou confirmed that Goggles for iPhone is almost ready, and should be released by the end of 2010.

Slow Start? AT&T and “The Switch” iAds Rolling Out to Users
Business Insider has just found out that Apple is rolling out to new iAd campaigns: one for AT&T’s $15 monthly data plan and one for “The Switch” movie Jason Bateman and Jennifer Anniston, which debuted last week.
I haven’t been able to test them, but from what I read on BI’s report - they look great.
Moleskine iPhone 4 Case
I can’t say I didn’t see this coming: a moleskine-like case for the iPhone 4? Could you even have doubts about it?
So here it is, a case that looks just like an old moleskine complete with its traditional elastic bland. It’s the classiest way to hide an iPhone. Or the worst way to access the volume buttons.
Your call.
iPaintings: A Community for Artists Using iPhones and iPads
In the past few months we’ve posted some of the finest and most impressive portraits / paintings drawn on the iPad and iPhone using apps such as Brushes or Sketchbook Pro. The Beyoncè portrait, Toy Stoy 3 + iPad, David Newman’s works or David Jon Kassan’s exceptional speed painting.
Now we can say that there’s a website for that.

Apple Facing Problems with iPhone’s Moisture Sensors, Again
Back in April a Californian woman sued Apple over “false-positive readings” on the iPhone’s moisture sensors. Those sensors that usually get triggered when the iPhone is subjected to water damage.
Latest Shaw Wu Report on CDMA iPhone: 2012?
For American users, the long-rumored Verizon CDMA iPhone is starting to look like the famous unicorn. Or the white iPhone. Or anything else that Apple never shipped. And indeed, reports from well-known Wall Street “analysts” don’t help, either.
Shaw Wu, a guy who has a history for being wrong about Apple (see here and here), is now claiming that Apple is indeed working on a CDMA iPhone with Verizon (oh really?) but that the whole project might slide to 2012 if Apple decided to team up with Sprint and T-Mobile instead. Oh, but they could also wait for LTE to become a more used technology and skip the whole CDMA thing. Oh, but they’re also in talks with Verizon about a SVDO iPhone (voice and data at the same time). This note has been issued to investors. To me, he sounds pretty confused.
Prizmo: Beautiful OCR for iPhone
In my attempt of achieving the perfect paperless office, I tried a large number of OCR (optical character recognition) apps for Mac over time. For those of you not familiar with OCR, it’s a technology that scans any kind of document starting from a good-quality photo and extracts text from it. Text you can edit and save, no matter the language or characters used in the document. On the Mac, I settled with Prizmo, an amazingly powerful and good-looking app by Creaceed which can scan and organize your documents.
Last week Creaceed released the first iPhone version of Prizmo, which sports the same beautiful UI as the Mac counterpart and aims at becoming the ultimate OCR solution for iPhone users. I tested the app, and threw some documents in its database. Has the paperless office really gone mobile? Read more below to find out.
Here’s The Most Ridiculous App Store Rejection Ever
Seriously, there must be something wrong over at the App Review Team. Perhaps a new guy was hired to replace Mr. Shoemaker? No, because the latest App Store rejection really beats all the other ones we’ve posted over the years. Read It Later 2.2 (our iPad coverage here) was submitted for approval a few days ago, and Apple rejected it because an app “can’t require user registration prior to allowing access to the app’s content”. If you’re app is account-based (Read It Later, or Twitter, or Facebook), it can’t go through.
Either we’re reading the rejection letter wrong, or Apple messed up this time. Check it out below.
