    Exclusive: Full Resolution iPhone 4 screenshots

    It’s hard to state just how glorious the iPhone 4′s new display is. I’ll make a valiant attempt at it in my first impressions post later — but in the mean time, take a gander at these screenshots.

    Pulled straight off of an iPhone 4 and kept at their native resolution, these properly portray just how many pixels Apple has managed to pack into the iPhone 4′s “Retina” display. Go ahead, open one up at full size.

    On my laptop, they take up the majority of the screen, height-wise. Now imagine all of that squeezed into a 3.5″ screen, without a single detail lost in translation.

    Yeah, it’s pretty gorgeous. → Read More

    iOS: Apple once again picks a Cisco name for one of its products

    This is nothing that a fat cheque won’t solve, but Apple has changed the name of iPhone OS to iOS. IOS is a named owned by Cisco Systems. You’ll recall that the name iPhone was also owned by Cisco. Is Apple so wealthy that it can go around taking trademarked name, paying the owners for the rights, or is the person in charge of coming up with names just a silly goose? Probably the former: Apple has money to buy whatever it wants these days. → Read More

    What happened to the iPad today? A few small things

    iPhone OS 4.0 – now iOS – is here

    The second biggest news out of San Fran today? The announcement of iPhone OS 4.0, Apple’s biggest improvement to the iPhone OS since, well, 3.0. This new version includes multi-tasking (although backgrounding would be the proper term), app folders, a new version of Mail, and a carrier unlock (Not officially sanctioned by Apple, but available nonetheless). The weirdest thing? It’s now called iOS. And iOS is a name owned by Cisco. All of the standard stuff is there – just as we expected – with the addition of the iBook store.

    Is this the Apple Magic Trackpad? Is WWDC going to be a bust?

    Steve just can’t catch a break. It sure seems like the item above is the unannounced Apple Magic Trackpad, which just got an unofficial Internet debut just like the iPhone 4G/HD ahead of Jobs’ WWDC keynote address later today. Apple might as well pack up their massive banners and simply issue press releases like every other CE company. At this rate, there isn’t going to be anything left to announce in Steve Jobs’ traditional “one more thing” fashion. → Read More
