Apple Will Revamp The iPhone For China

Apple is reportedly trying to re-enter the Chinese smartphone market with a revamped iPhone, by working together with China Unicom.

The Cupertino-based company wants to offer a re-designed version of its popular iPhone, along with Chinese standard WiFi capabilities.

Back in October, Apple tried to enter the Chinese smartphone market, but failed to take the country by storm as the phone offered a lot less than the what was being offered by the localized fake versions of the device.

The Chinese government asked Apple and Unicom to stop supporting WiFi and adapt to the Chinese standard WAPI.

However, now, Wall Street Journal has reported that Apple and Unicom are working together to offer the Chinese customers a re-designed iPhone which will comply with all state laws including support for WAPI wireless internet and WiFi.

Talking to reporters at a session of the National People’s Congress, Unicom’s Chief Executive Chang Xiaobing stated that the company will look to sell the iPhone at a competitive price in order to cope with competition from the cheaper fake versions of the device available in grey markets across China.

iPhone Rocks The GDC

If you had any doubts that the iPhone must now be considered one of the world’s most important gaming platforms, this week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco will try to put them to rest once and for all.

For years, GDC, as it’s known, has hosted two days of “summits” early in the week, before the main keynote address and the bulk of the panels and sessions begin, including the longstanding GDC Mobile, which dealt with just about every issue a developer could want on mobile and handheld devices.

And this year is no exception. Starting Tuesday, the GDC Mobile/Handheld summit will begin, offering 18 discussions on things like “bootstrapping games on Android;” “Creating augmented reality experiences on Nintendo DSi;” “Social networks: The new marketplace for mobile games?” and more. There’s even one called “Get your iPhone game to 2,000 other devices.”

But strikingly absent among those 18 panels are any that deal with game development specifically for the iPhone. And why? Because for the first time, the GDC advisory board decided that Apple’s smartphone is an important enough platform to warrant its own summit.

As a result, on Tuesday and Wednesday, hundreds–if not thousands–of people will shuffle into the 16 panels and discussions that make up the iPhone Games summit, sessions like “How to keep your game on top of the charts;” “Fastest path from concept to Top Paid;” “A big dash of success: how to capture the female iPhone gamer” and more.

Finally A Release Date for iPad!

Finally we know when the iPad will go on sale, April 3 with pre-ordering starting March 12. Apple says it will first sell its Wi-Fi-enabled iPads on April 3 and will sell Wi-Fi- and 3G-equipped models “in late April.” On March 12 you’ll be able pre-order either model.

Apple says iPad will be available in Wi-Fi models on April 3 in the U.S. for a suggested retail price of $499 for 16GB, $599 for 32GB, and $699 for 64GB. The 3G-equipped iPad will be available in late April for a suggested retail price of $629 for 16GB, $729 for 32GB, and $829 for 64GB. iPad will be sold in the U.S. through Apple’s online store, Apple retail stores, and select Apple authorized resellers.

The announcement puts a rest to rumors of a delay by Apple to bring iPad to market. During his keynote introducing the iPad in late January, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the non-3G iPad would hit store shelves in 60 days, followed by the 3G model 30 days after that.

In a prepared statement today, Jobs said, “We’re excited for customers to get their hands on this magical and revolutionary product and connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.”

As part of the launch of the iPad, Apple says it will also officially release the free iBooks app for the iPad that gives the iPad e-book functionality. Starting on April 3, the iBooks app will be available along with Apple’s iBook bookstore, which is available through iTunes. The iBookstore will feature books from both major and independent publishers, including Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, Macmillan Publishers, Penguin Group, and Simon & Schuster, Apple says.

Apple says the iPad will first be available in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the U.K. Pricing for countries outside of the U.S. is expected in late April.

ProKit 5.1 Update

Apple on Tuesday released ProKit 5.1 for Leopard and Snow Leopard, an update for the company’s line of professional-level applications. According to the support release, the problems addressed range from a fix for improper scrolling behavior, a change to the “layout of interface elements in certain alert windows,” and a resolution for an issue involving “memory leaks.”

Hopefully, that last fix means that Aperture 3 users will finally get some relief from the memory-related issues that have been plaguing them since the software’s release. Either way, it’s nice to actually see a patch acknowledging that those problems actually exist.

It also appears as though Apple may be cracking down on illicit copies of Final Cut Studio with this latest update:  there are reports that ProKit 5.1 may disable large numbers of pirated serial numbers.

The update is suggested for users of most of the pro apps, including Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Aperture, Final Cut Express, Soundtrack, Logic Pro, and Logic Express. It requires 10.5 or later, and is 32.39MB in size.

Lower Price For iPhone 4G

The Apple iPhone 4G is expected to cost significantly less than previous models.  Industry Analyst Katy Huberty, from Morgan Stanley believes 85% of the market is not willing to shell out the amount of money Apple want’s for their devices, therefore a price drop is in order for the next-generation smartphone.

“We expect Apple to launch new iPhones in June that offer both a lower total cost of ownership and new functionality, potentially including gesture-based technology,” she explained in a note to investors Friday.

Along with a price drop, the rumor tree blossoms specifications for the iPhone 4G consisting of WiFi N, a 5MP camera, an A4 chip clocked at 600MHz, perhaps faster, and AMOLED touchscreen from Samsung.

Here are new concept images just released from ADR Studio in Italy, courtesy of Antonio De Rosa.  He took readers comments into consideration from his previous set of concept designs.  He appreciates the criticism, and the praise,  and has taken the criticism and tried to improve the concept, with rounded shapes, ‘improving’ the ergonomics, and correcting some mistakes.

“My job is not to be “absolute”. I’m an Apple fan like the others, and I use my work to give shape to small dreams:) This is a tribute to an icon of technology that has radically changed the understanding of mobile communication.  That’s all folks. I’m imagining new gadgets, new scenarios for this remarkable device, which I hope to show you soon.”  said Antonio De Rosa.

Final Fantasy App Released

If you love classic NES game you will love the latest app available in the App store.  You can now relive the 8o’s iPhone style with the latest release from Square Enix.

Classic role-playing games Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II have been released on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Publisher Square Enix announced both games are now available in Apple’s App Store for $8.99.  I wonder what the price of the original game of NES was back in the 80’s.

Both titles, which were originally released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in the late-1980s, include specially designed controls tailored to the iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as additional dungeons not featured in the original release.

So bring back memories and enjoy a few new adventures with these all time classic games that forever changed the face of gaming.  Make sure to check out the comments in the app store they are hilarious.  Some people claim to be so excited that they defecated in there pants while other now love their iPhone more than their children.
