Whatever the outcome, we look forward to what Apple has to offer in addition to their rivals who seem to have a pretty hard time catching up.

Apple certainly isn’t resting on their laurels as they are currently looking into various ways to maintain and perhaps even extend their lead against rivals, as evident by this new filing which shows a future version of the iPhone complete with a front-facing video camera and software interface that can adjust itself for more a precise interaction whenever the user is carrying the phone while in motion. Guess the iPhone sometime down the road will finally be able to make video calls, something other 3G-enabled handsets have been able to do for years already, but what’s most interesting is the adaptive software interface concept. Should the concept materialize, we could be looking at a quantum leap of a user’s accuracy in making touch selections as the size of user interface elements on the display will be increased whenever the iPhone figures out the user is participating in some sort of motion-based activity.

What wasn’t expected is that they would go after the Flip, and if the video quality is there (it should be), Flip is going to feel the pain.

The cases had given that away for a while. As expected, Apple has released an iPod with a camera.

The authors of the program argue that films for sale on iTunes as American Pie have similar content, because then this difference of opinion in the approval? 0 but this was not enough. Action Babes was created keeping in mind the capabilities of the parental controls on the last firmware 3. The creators of Action Babes are seasoned with Apple for having invested thousands of dollars in creating this application and have since refused approval for publication in the ‘apple store.

05B.

iPod sales were up 3%, however Mac computers sales were down 3%. 21B compared to $1. Thanks to the iPhone, Apple’s profits are 15% higher than they were a year ago: that’s $1. Apple sold twice as many iPhone as it did in Q1 2008, showing that its design still have what it takes to win the hearts and wallets of customers, despite the economic crisis. We wonder how iPhone apps and iTunes music/video sales contributed to the bottom-line.

Whereas AT&T already offers such a deal, folks who want to go through that channel had to rely on a limit of one per customer, while Apple doesn’t really care how many units you pick up as they laugh their way to the bank. Unfortunately, you’re still stuck with AT&T if you don’t want to unlock your phone (and void your warranty). Folks who want to pick up an iPhone as a standalone unit without the hassle of being tied down to a 2-year contract will be able to do so via the Apple Store.

Apparently, Apple is now selling refurbished handsets for $199 if you are in that situation. If you have been unlucky enough drop your iPhone into water, you have probably discovered that it is not covered by the warranty (duh) and that translate in big dollars if you want to get a new one.

That’s good if you really dropped your phone in the sink, but you should know that the iPhone is particularly sensitive to moisture, including yours. . .

2″ tablet computer that would be priced around $800. It would be a touch-display 9. 7″ to 10. The rumor that Apple might be launching a low-cost ultraportable is coming from Taiwan’s InfoTimes.

Personally, I hope that it will have a full keyboard, because an $800 tablet-only (see Asus rumor)computer sounds like a niche market product.

In the past, Apple has dismissed the idea of building a Netbook (previous rumor) because they’re “Crap”, but with Intel’s CULV processors and Nvidia’s ION Apple could build something that can carry a decent “Apple experience” and still provide what people want: light, long battery, nice and (relatively) cheap – and not call it a Netbook.

That’s right, no previous programming experience. If you’ve ever thought the later I am sure that thought was immediately followed by “too bad I don’t know how to program”.

Perhaps you thought of the perfect way to improve an existing app, to make it better/faster/more fun. Your idea should fill a need somewhere to someone. The first step would obviously be to have a solid idea.

Maybe you will make someone laugh, or solve some problem that was not previously even thought of.

For your reference you w ill need them to create your certificates, define your App ID’s, create your distribution profile, compile your app and upload to iTunes connect. A good developer will know exactly what you are going to need to get this done. Once they have finished you will be ready to submit to the Apple Store. If you are programmer what are you waiting for? Code like the wind. Code! If you are not, find one and let them w orry about the programming.

Play with your design, think of color palates. Think of what your customer will experience and draw a rough sketch of it. Once you think you have the visual aspect complete your or your artist should render each screenshot as you would like them to look. Make them look pretty; these will help sell your idea!

You, or your artist should sketch out every aspect of your application.

Build a team around the idea. If you have the idea and know it is a winner do what any good entrepreneur would do. It would help but honestly, no. Fortunes are not made by the people that don’t take risks.

This can be expensive yes, but this is about an idea that you know will make it right?

Get The Word Out

If you can do any of the following jobs, bonus. You may need a GUI designer for the more complex apps, an artist to help visualize your not yet created idea and someone for marketing and promotion.

Recent reports have pointed toward the next generation iPod nano (which will be its 5th iteration) that will feature an integrated digital camera as well as a more compact, circular scroll wheel that has a way to detect “input gestures that traverse the center of the scroll wheel and to detect multi-touch input. Apple’s famous Click Wheels on their iPod range could soon get a similar multi-touch treatment that is found on their iPhone, iPod touch and Macbook lines.
