Sony Japan Bring Two New Speaker Docks For iPhone/iPod

Sony Japan has just announces for releasing Two new iPhone/iPod Speaker Docks the SRS-GX50IP and the portable SRS-GM5IP. Sony’s Walkman may have lost the portable music player market in Japan and the rest of the world to Apple, but that doesn’t stop from releasing accessories for their rival.

Sony Japan Bring Two New Speaker Docks For iPhone/iPod

The larger model SRS-GX50IP features a 20W x 2ch output while the smaller model, the SRS-GM5IP, features a 2W x 2ch output and they both have support for the iPhone 3G/3GS/4 and the iPod class/touch, fifth generation iPods, and iPod nanos, generations 2 through 6. Both models also come with a mini remote control as well which seems like a pretty good deal.

The SRS-GX50IP is already on sale in Japan at $245. And the portable SRS-GM5IP will cost just $99 when hits stores over here on June 21. But one thing Sony didn’t make any announcements regarding international sales plans.

Apple To Bring New MacBook Air

Apple might release a next-gen MacBook air soon  and the company is now producing their new netbook, based on the note posted by Concord Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The Cupertino-based company recently placed an order with its Asian partner manufacturers for at least 380,000 new gen MacBook Airs and are equipped with Intel’s newest Sandy Bridgeprocessors that the current-gen iMacs are using. Kuo also added that the upcoming MacBook Air model will feature the Thunderbolt transfer technology, the same new technology used by the latest model of MacBook Pro and the 2011 iMac generation and Apple is reportedly producing 55% of the 11.6 inch MacBook Air.

The second-generation of Apple‘s revitalized MacBook Air notebooks are scheduled to enter mass production during the month of June with an initial build volume hovering around 400,000 units and Concord Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo exclusively told he Mac maker has placed orders for the production of a total of 380,000 Sandy Bridge-based 11.6 and 13.3-inch MacBook Airs this month. The new Apple Macbook Air notebooks won’t be redesigned but they will offer refreshed internal components namely Intel Sandy Bridge processors. According to Apple Insider’s sources at Concord Securities. Apple has placed orders for 380,000 total Sandy Bridge Air’s, a majority of which are 11.6-inch models for this month June 2011.Apple was said to be ditching Intel’s Core 2 Duo ULV processors for the chip giant’s new line of 2nd Generation Core i3/i5/i7 ULV processors and Apple almost never gives away any information or confirms any rumors for any of their products, the potential refresh for the Macbook Air is no exception. Apple is keeping tight-lipped but the people who manufacturer their products rarely keep too quiet. If any new Macbook Air’s are in production this month photographic proof is sure to slip out. Apple would be adding dual-core Intel Core i7 ULV processors from the Sandy Bridge family. Potential chips include the Intel Core i7-2617M and the Intel Core i7-2657M. Those two chips sip power with estimated TPD’s of 17 W a direct match with the top-end Intel Core 2 Duo’s Apple now uses for the Macbook Air.

 

20 Most-Wanted Features Of iPhone 5

New rumors indicate that the next generation iPhone could come with a new aluminum design for AT&t and Version, ditching the ultra-fragile glass back coming with the iPhone 4 and also features such as aluminum back, the A5 SoC, and confirmation of a June or July 2011 release date. The iPhone 5 would look more like the iPad 2.

The iPhone 5 rumors continue to fly fast and furious nd it’s looking more and more like a fall launch for the next iPhone. All is unknown. But that hasn’t stopped me from updating this list of most-wanted features with information gleaned from the arrival of iOS 5, as well as other new products and services. As a reminder, the 20 items in the list are ordered from least important to most in a reverse countdown.

20 most-wanted features:

1. iOS 5:
   What new features will iOS 5 bring? Who knows, but we look forward to its arrival in June.
2. 4G network compatible:
   The one big thing missing from the iPhone 4 is the lack of next-gen 4G data network support, which is probably why Apple called it the 4 instead of the 4G.AT&T will reportedly have a 4G network up and running in 2011, whereas Sprint has already rolled out its next-gen network. Verizon has also just deployed its 4G network, but the Verizon iPhone 4 will not support 4G data.
3. Dual-core processor:
   With Apple’s acquisition of PA Semiconductor, it’s started designing and churning out its own CPUs. The iPhone 4 has an A4 that runs at 1GHz. However, now that LG, Motorola, and others have unveiled dual-core Android phones, the processor ante has been raised.Rumor has it that Apple will move to a dual-core processor featuring a pair of 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 cores in both the next-generation iPhone and iPad 2. But that’s just speculation.
4. Better camera:
   We certainly appreciate that Apple improved the camera in the iPhone 4 (5 megapixels; LED flash), but we’ve seen rumors that Sony is developing an even better 8-megapixel camera for the fifth-gen iPhone.
5. Improved 3D graphics:
   The A4 CPU has a Imagination PowerVR graphics chip integrated into it. Like the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4 uses a PowerVR SGX535 chip. But the iPhone 5 will hopefully get the PowerVR SGX545, which was announced last year.
6. Better cloud-computing support:
   Setting up an Android phone is dead simple: input your Gmail username and password, and the phone will immediately start pulling your Google-based contacts, calendar, and other info. The iPhone, by contrast, is still a slave to iTunes for activation and media syncing. Whether it’s a free version of Mobile Me, or an online version of iTunes powered by Apple’s Lala acquisition, cloud-based iPhone syncing can’t come soon enough.
7. Fewer failed and dropped calls:
   AT&T has always had problems with its iPhone service in big cities like San Francisco and New York, where AT&T complaints seem to run highest.Some have questioned whether it’s the phone or the carrier, but either way, it will be interesting to see how Verizon’s network handles the influx of iPhone users. It’s also possible that the migration of some AT&T iPhone customers to Verizon will bring relief to AT&T’s network and perhaps its service will improve. Let’s hope so.
8. More carriers:
   Now that the CDMA version of the iPhonehas finally come to Verizon, it wouldn’t be too hard to make a Sprint version. Or how about a T-Mobile iPhone? Alas, we don’t know whether Verizon’s worked in any sort of exclusivity agreement into its deal with Apple, but let the rumors begin
9. Video chat (FaceTime) over 4G network:
   Currently, on the iPhone 4, FaceTime only works over Wi-Fi and only with other iPhone 4s. We’d like to see an option to use it over a cellular data network, and hope it’s supported when AT&T’s faster 4G network ramps up in 2011. We’d also like to see the ability to make video calls with PCs.
10. Improved home screen:
    We’re still waiting for a more customizable home screen, with a real “dashboard.” So far it has yet to appear in iOS 4.
11. Better battery life:
    Every time Apple puts out a new iPhone, the battery life gets better, so we expect no less from the fifth-generation iPhone. Apple says the iPhone 4 has 40 percent more talk time than the iPhone 3GS. So, if the past is any indicator, we might see similar gains in next year’s model.
12. Flash support:
    It’ll be a cold day in hell when Apple allows for Flash support on the iPhone. But that doesn’t mean we can’t ask for it.
13. Expandable memory:
    Not happening, but just thought we’d ask.
14. More memory:
    A lot of people were disappointed that the iPhone 4 didn’t come in a 64GB version (only 16GB and 32GB). Maybe next year we’ll get 64GB.
15. Removable battery:
    This well-known rendering of a future iPhone dreams of a model with a removable battery. That appears to run counter to Apple’s current design principles.
16. Enhanced voice control:
    We expect that in the the next generation of the iOS, Apple will continue to flesh out the voice controls for the iPhone, but there’s always room for more enhancements. It would be cool to be able to compose e-mails or text message by just using your voice, no?
17. RFID:
    Rumor has it that Apple is looking into integrating radio frequency identification, or RFID, into the iPhone. RFID is sort of a bar code replacement and could allow your iPhone–among other things–to act as a payment device or even a car key. In the image to the left, you see a scenario where the iPhone acts as a combination lock (to open what, we don’t know).
18. Biometric security:
    It’s hardly a must-have upgrade, but it would be cool to swipe your finger–instead of enter a password–to unlock your phone. (Image note: Allegedly, Apple has filed some patents related to this feature.)
19. HD output:
    Right now, you can’t output 720p or 1080i HD video from an iPhone (any iPhone). We hope Apple allows for HD output in the future, particularly when you consider that Sprint’s Android-powered Evo has full HD output via HDMI.
20. Built-in IR:
    We like the idea of using the iPhone as a universal remote, but we’re not so keen on attaching an IR dongle to the phone every time we want to use it as a remote.

Magellan RoadMate App For iPhone

Magellan’s iOS RoadMate GPS application gains free lifetime maps, Google local search and it just got a heck of a lot better with v2.0.

iOS 5 jailbroken

Less than 24 hours later and the beta version of iOS 5 has already been jailbroken and the jailbreak proof comes via MuscleNerd on Twitter who posted two images of an iPod touch 4G running a jailbroken version of the new iOS. The first shows the Cydia store installed, the second shows root access has been gained and the ood news is that this method will work on the final version of iOS.

MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has posted some pictures on his twitter account, confirming the jailbreak works fine on iOS 5, but of course it is limited to tethered boot only, which means you will have to connect it to your computer on every reboot. According to his initial testing, Cydia appears to be working just fine on his jailbroken 4th-gen iPod touch, he managed to install SSHing utility app called iSSH successfully. Apple released iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch yesterday at the WWDC conference in San Francisco. This new version of iOS brings over 200 new features, 10 among which are touted as key features and includes: new revamped notifications system called ‘Notification Center’, Newsstand, Twitter integration, Safari Reader, Reading List, tabbed browsing for iPad, Reminders, Camera updates, Mail updates, built-in dictionary, PC-free (no cables required), OTA software updates, updates to Game Center, iMessage, AirPlay mirroring for iPad. MuscleNerd has clarified that OTA should not be an issue putting those concerns:

over-the-air delta updates of iOS should be fine for JBers (even if Apple didn’t let you disable them, the JB itself can)

 

Cydle i30 Digital TV Receiver For iPhone

Cydle i30 There are not many things an iPhone cannot do, except maybe receive live TV signals, but now as coming soon is a device that will let your phone pick up live TV without the need for 3G or a WiFi connection and the device called Cydle i30, which lets iPhone users slip it over their smartphone, turning it into a digital TV receiver.

The soon-to-be-released Cydle i30 is a digital TV receiver sled for the iPhone. Featuring its own 1100 mAh battery, it’ll snag that local PBS outlet, four Spanish-language stations, and three full-time religious channels that you just can’t wait to watch. And yes, since your local network stations are required to broadcast their content not only over cable, but also through digital over-the-air broadcasts, you’ll be able to watch just about any network show and enjoy all of the advertising as well. The advantage of the Cydle i30 is that it doesn’t require a Wi-Fi connection or use your precious 3G data plan bits, and many times digital TV is about the only way you’re going to be able to watch local sporting events or soap operas on your iPhone. Cable network apps such as Comcast’s Xfinity TV provide a lot of on-demand content to watch on your iPhone, but not much live TV. They’re also dependent on a Wi-Fi network. No price or expected ship date has been released for the i30.

 

Rumor: iPhone 4S Coming In September

Appke’s iPhone 5 may be called the iPhone 4s and be carried by Sprint and T-Mobile.This rumor seems to indicate that Apple will be putting the Apple A5 inside the iPhone 5, as many of us expected and Apple A5 is the SoC which powers the iPad 2 and also brings faster dual core CPU and GPU processing to their tablet.he next generation of the iPhone is coming, but not until September and it is expected to look similar to the iPhone 4, but include a faster processor.

Apple’s next iPhone could feature only incremental upgrades, but appear on a broader set of carriers and fifth-generation iPhone will be a relatively minor update dubbed 4S that will bring support for both Sprint and T-Mobile networks in the U.S. “We believe the likelihood of the iPhone 5 launch in September including LTE [Long-Term Evolution] is now remote,” Peter Misek wrote in the co-authored research note, issued May 13. “According to our industry checks, the device should be called iPhone 4S and include minor cosmetic changes, better cameras, A5 dual-core processor, and HSPA+ [Evolved High-Speed Packet Access] support. ”The note also claims, based on “industry checks,” that Sprint, T-Mobile and China Mobile will be announced as new iPhone carriers in time for the holiday season: “On Apple’s last earnings call, management responded to a question about launching the CDMA [Code Division Multiple Access] iPhone at other carriers as ‘we are constantly looking and adding where it makes sense, and you can keep confidence that we’ll continue to do that.’”

AT&T and Verizon currently offer the iPhone in the United States. Despite AT&T’s plans to acquire T-Mobile for $39 billion in cash and stock, however, the smaller carrier has been denying imminent support for the iPhone. “T-Mobile USA remains an independent company,” read a note posted on T-Mobile’s corporate Website in March. “The acquisition is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months. We do not offer the iPhone. We offer cutting-edge devices like the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and, coming soon, our new Sidekick 4G.” That statement made it seem as if T-Mobile customers hungry for an iPhone would need to wait at least a year, until AT&T finishes digesting their carrier. AT&T’s deal is a positive for Apple, at least according to a March 21 research note from Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White: “The company would gain access to T-Mobile’s 34 million subscriber base, versus the 96 million subscribers at AT&T in 4Q10.”

Nonetheless, the presence of the iPhone on Verizon and some combination of T-Mobile and AT&T would make Sprint the odd person out in the domestic smartphone market. Although Sprint offers a line of 4G smartphones with some unique aesthetics and features, the iPhone has proven a massive bestseller—something that no carrier could easily pass up, even if it’s devoted substantial marketing resources and political capital to establishing its own line of products. Anonymous sources speaking to Reuters April 20 suggested that Apple will ship the iPhone 5 (or iPhone 4S) in September, meaning that production for the device will ramp up sometime in either July or August. Sources have also hinted to other publications that the smartphone will hit store shelves sometime closer to the end of 2011. Current rumors suggest the next iPhone will include the A5 processor, more powerful cameras and, perhaps, NFC (near-field communication) technology, which would allow the smartphone to act as an electronic wallet. All those features would give Apple the capability to compete more heartily against the higher-end Android smartphones, whose hardware and software are becoming increasingly robust. As with all Apple rumors, however, multiple grains of salt should be taken until the company makes an actual announcement.

 

Apple Planned To Build Two iPhone 5 Models

According to iPhoneDownloadBlog, Apple is working on not one but two iPhone 5 models. According to their source who works at an Apple part supplier, Apple may release two iPhone models: a ‘standard’ and ‘pro’ model in fall this year.

Our source says that Apple is ordering components of similar function, but some of them are the very best of what you can get right now. While the rest of the ordered components are just the standard versions, Apple is also ordering better quality components of the same function. Our source says that both types of components wouldn’t go in one device together, which makes him believe Apple is up to something with a ‘pro’ version.

IDB also claims that their source at Apple has confirmed that the fifth generation iPhone will be launched after the “Back to School” season, suggesting that Apple may launch it in September along with the next generation iPod product line.

They’ve also published the concept of the next generation iPhone but haven’t mentioned if it was created using information provided by their source.

WSJ also reported that Apple is planning to revamp its MobileMe service and considering to make the service free. The revamped MobileMe service might allow users to store photos, videos and music online, eliminating the need for the iOS device to carry a lot of memory. It would be another good reason to rebrand it as iCloud rather than MobileMe.

But the possibilities of a smaller and cheaper iPhone probably dubbed iPhone nano would make things very interesting in the smartphone marketplace.

 

White iPhone 4 Could Be JailBreak By Limera1n

Today iPhone 4 White is going to be released for everybody. We already heard its made in completely different manufacturing process. So a lot were worried, if Apple has patched any old security hole so none of the Jailbreaking process would work. But here we have iH8Sn0w, he tweeted its Susceptible to Limera1n Jailbreak.

According to tweets by iH8Sn0w.

For future (tomorrow or today) White iPhone 4 users, limera1n is NOT patched and has no difficulty with current jailbreaks.

Also for those wondering, i0n1c’s untether will work for the device as well. i0n1c’s exploit is iOS based. Since the iPhone 4 runs the SAME iOS, its fine.

But remember none of new iPhone 4 is unlockable yet, only iPhone 4 purchased few months ago and has still baseband 01.59.00 could be unlocked, none other baseband is still unlockable. So either use Official carrier or buy factory unlocked from Apple.
