Here’s an video that I found interesting. It seems to show the Apple iPhone (or iPod Touch if you prefer) Operating System running on a Mac Pro and being used with a touch screen and Apple remote to act as the iPhone’s main button.
You decide if it has actually been done or very cleverly faked.
When Apple release the new iPhone Operating System (3.0) they will remove applications which are not compatible with the update from the App Store. Is it time to make the App Store backward compatible?
Apple have been encouraging iPhone App developers to create new apps for iPhone OS 3.0 for some time. In addition to developing new apps developers are also encouraged to test old apps to make sure that they are also compatible with the impending iPhone OS release (if not make them so). This encouragement from Apple seems reasonable and logical, yet it has been tainted with the warning that compatibility issues could lead to some applications being removed from Apple’s App Store.
Unfortunately Apple have not released an iPhone Nano. This is a fake iPhone that you can get in China, as spotted by Robert Scoble during his current trip to China.
According to Electric Pig Apple are definitely releasing a new iPod at tomorrow’s Let’s Rock event.
“We’ve just been given the nod from a top UK peripheral manufacturer that Apple’s poised to unleash new iPods tomorrow, followed by a slew of new accessories.
“The manufacturer, contacting us with details of its new range, is scheduled to unveil cases and peripherals as soon as Thursday…”
Unfortunately Electric Pig have not published any details about the products that the unnamed manufacturer are due to release, nor any details about what would be seems to be some sort of new iPod. Perhaps there is some truth in the rumors rumours about a new Apple iPod Nano.
The Register reports that O2 Sales Director, Steve Shurrock, followed-up a complaint about yesterday’s O2 website failure by writing an email in he blamed Apple for causing the online fiasco.
Quote from The Register Hardware website:
O2 has blamed Apple for the “disappointing and frustrating experience” many would-be iPhone 3G owners had to put up with when the carrier began taking advance orders for the handset this week.
