Opera Mini is available in the AppStore - Apple authorizes
We were pleasantly surprised by the news and why? it simply because Apple has the "big idea" out of the way all the competition in terms of software is concerned, especially when Apple already have or own native applications that perform the same.
That's why, that the adoption of Opera Mini for iPhone, iPod Touch and IPAD has been a great surprise. Remember, Opera Mini compresses pages and allows you to navigate with your mobile much faster and with more moderate consumption data, which will be fine provided you have a data plan with some type of limit consumption.
Here's some screenshots we both like a video so you can check how it looks. By the way, in case you were wondering, is now available for download from the AppStore and is free.

Wolfram | Alpha for IPAD and eReaders
When we heard the price available to the application of Wolf Alpha for iPhone, we all get the hands to the head and is to pay $ 50 for a App, was the suicide of the company, where more than confident that we would not succeed. We assume that they have reconsidered and have seen sales of that application have not been many and have decided to lower its price to $ 2, returning the money to buyers with its antoguo price.
Anyway, if you do not want to spend money, Wolfram Alpha has opened its portal mobile version where you can ask the questions you want, and should Feature in most browsers (we tested on a BlackBerry and it works perfectly).
Another strategy is the company further expand its platform and version are now available for the impending arrival of the Apple Tablet, IPAD, where they have taken all the space on the computer screen that Apple provides, but this new itself is not so, as the movement is expected for the second cuerto 2010, when Wolfram Alpha has a version for eReaders, although the company has kept all the details until its release, what you do want your director, is that "knowledge of Wolfram Alpha is in the hands of everyone."

iPhone hacked, SMS database hijacked
This week is taking place in Vancouver on Pwn2Own 2010, a competition in which participants compete for great prizes to exploit security problems in smathphones and web browsers.
On the first day of the event two European security experts, Vincenzo Iozzo, Ralf Philipp Weinmann, exploited a known vulnerability in the iPhone with which you made the SMS database in 20 seconds, including text messages that had been previously eliminated.
While obviously not been given details of the exploit, Weinmann explained that by visiting a malicious site can capture the SMS database and sent to a remote server for checking. He also said the same bug can be exploited to extract the list of phone contacts, like emails, photos and music stored.
The expert duo won a prize of $ 15,000. And the event sponsor, TippingPoint, has become the sole owner of the rights of the vulnerability, which will be reported to Apple to be solved.

Apple increases gaming share at the expense of DS and PSP

While in September, Apple boasted a catalog of video games that was outstripping supply competition, in this case we must insist with the same. And we all know that many games from the App Store does not meet certain minimum standards that ensure each other platforms, and if the reason for this is what it takes to not only them but also the price they think they should provided in such articles.
Anyway there is one detail that goes unnoticed but that to me is crucial, and that in a year, all brands have released new hardware products that drive very often to a new purchase. But instead, Apple has not released any new product at this time, when the platform is still the same, so obviously, is taking advantage of software that can feed future products without the user having to compulsorily acquire a new product.
In fact, very possibly the presence of games on this platform will continue to grow thanks to the new iPad, and a good test is the following graph.


The application of Digg would appear today in the App Store
Much has been rumored about the supposed emergence of a native application for iPhone from Digg. Speculation could be terminated today, because apparently the rumor is true, and in a few hours will make its appearance in the App Store.
Rumors about the emergence of this application, are caused by Kevin Rose, speaking about her in October 2009. According to some screenshots, Digg addicts may easily navigate among the most popular stories that appear on the website.
Also be able to read the comments made to each of the stories, and also may consult the relevant stories and relate to what you are reading. In summary, it can do practically everything we do on Digg from a computer.
It is said that this launch is well timed to Digg it recently began planning a "cat's little sister" to Digg general. This means that the mobile version is also in the plans for improvement. IPhone users probably will be quite happy if their application is eventually appear.
Those alleged to have seen the application for the iPhone, believe that people soon get used to the application and will use it, instead of using the mobile browser on iPhone. It is expected that other platforms are also its native application soon.

StyleTap brings Palm OS to iPhone with jailbreak
If you are someone who in his day used a Palm OS device com and eventually switched to Windows Mobile or Symbian and missed some of the applications that the ancient operating system to the Palm brand had surely come to use StyleTap.
StyleTap PalmOS emulator is a Windows Mobile, Symbian and now, for iPhone OS. The company developing it promised "soon" be available for Apple's mobile terminal, this was about 2 years ago. Anyway, the important thing is that I kept their promise.
However, not all good news. StyleTap probably passed through the tortuous and ridiculous process of reviewing the App Store and was denied permission. That's why, starting today, is ready for downloading to terminals jailbreak applied. This means that only can be downloaded through Cydia.
But this does not end here. If you thought that, by the fact that it is on Cydia for free, you're wrong. The price of the application is nothing more and nothing less than $ 49.99 dollars. Of course, if you're prepared to spend that much money, you can run Palm OS applications to the latest version of the operating system (5.2 Garnet).
It also supports ARM native applications, recording and playback, you can create virtual expansion cards and enjoy the TCP / IP. Surely this is good news for those who miss an application that was never updated or carried to other platforms, but that in his time was very useful.
So if you want to download StyleTap for the iPhone, you have to do a search on Cydia and disburse what developers call this "jewel". Too bad that did not reach the App Store, I certainly have had much success regardless of the high cost of implementation.

Apple releases iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta 5 for the iPad
A few minutes and merely 8 days have released the iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta 4 for the iPad, Apple has released the next version of the SDK specifically for the iPad. The speed with which Apple has been releasing different versions of the SDK, denote the imminent appearance of the product on the market.
As you can imagine, yet no information on the new features this new version, but probably within the next few hours will be enough information. The question would be Is there a new version of the iPhone software for existing terminals or we have to wait until Apple releases the iPhone software version 4?
To me, that the current owners of an iPhone, we have to wait to present a new generation Apple iPhone with iPhone Software 4. Apparently the many fixes that need the iPhone's operating system along with new features, will have to wait several more months.
If you are an application developer for the iPad, you probably already know that you can download from the Apple iPhone Dev Center.

Apple prohibits the sale of screen protective films for the iPhone in its stores
According to the guys from iLounge, Apple could ban the sale of protective films for the iPhone screen in all its stores from May. This decision could wipe some of the most popular accessories manufactured by third parties of their physical stores as well as their online store.
The prohibition of sale of such products could also affect those sleeves that incorporate such protective film, forcing customers to look for this type of accessory shops that have nothing to do with Apple. Also could be affected also those decorative and protective products that are specially made for devices manufactured by the Cupertino company.
The manufacturers have not received any official response, nor an explanation of the reasons for this ban. However, there are speculations that Apple wants to promote the supposed durability of the screens of their products.
It is a fact that is not the lack of popularity of these products, and a sample of this is that these protective films, accessories are the most requested by consumers in Apple stores. This type of accessory currently holds the sixth or seventh in popularity in the U.S. Apple Store.

During the first months of the App Store, TomTom was the undisputed leader, but confirming the months passed and several companies released their navigation software in many cases even better than TomTom, the company has ceded its leadership for Navigon .
Currently, TomTom is in second place in the user preference, just back from Navigon. TomTom says that with this new update, Navigon and TomTom both have similar features, which will make TomTom sales rebound significantly.
Apparently the update will be free and the first maps to be updated will be the United States. Up progressively over the days, he expects the rest of the maps are updated to the newest version with the features described above. Only hope some day to see how it is that things unfold.

Apple is silent on the removal of over 5,000 applications for 'highly sexual content' from the AppStore
Just a few hours after Apple pulled a lot of applications from the AppStore to include content "potentially offensive" to its customers, the company has given its decision stating that "Every time we receive complaints from our customers about content same and also there are any objections, we review in depth ". This statement was made by Trudy Miller, an Apple representative.
He continued saying that "If we find that these applications contain inappropriate material, eliminated and asked the developer to make the changes necessary to allow the application to be distributed by Apple."
These statements relate to the disposal of an application from the AppStore, as the company received many complaints about the content "highly sexual" some applications that were available in the AppStore.
That's why Apple chose to change policies and regulations of the AppStore to avoid such "misunderstandings" with their customers and eventually eliminate a significant portion of applications from the AppStore. Although these have not entirely disappeared from the store ...

Video: New advertising the iPhone in Apple's web site
Apple has released 2 new TV commercials to advertise the iPhone. The first, to "prove" that the terminal is capable of doing several things at once, ie, trying to prove that the iPhone is multitasking. The problem is that iPhone owners already know that the terminal under no circumstances can be considered as multitasking. Only what is in certain respects, as evidenced by the advertising: When in a call and we can run some applications, surf the internet, or buy applications in the AppStore.
Now, what this announcement could be a hint of what lies ahead in the new generations of terminal or simply an update of the iPhone software? Probably not, but it is certainly a good attempt to convince potential customers of the iPhone's capabilities.
On Hold:
The second one, shows the iPhone's ability to send a video via MMS to their loved ones after you send it, file a tripartite conference to discuss what happened in the video. Clear that advertising shows us an aspect of terminal capabilities, but honestly, this is not anything new or some aspect that we do not know.
First Step:
These are not the only iPhone ads, there are a lot of them that can be seen from the Apple website.

Apple recently removed more than 5,000 applications from the AppStore
Apple has imposed more restrictions on the AppStore. For a couple of days, Apple has changed the policies of the AppStore and thanks to that change, a little over 5,000 applications have disappeared forever from the AppStore.
And is that from now can be seen as applications that Apple deemed potentially offensive to users of applications in the AppStore. I asked what those applications that Apple regards as potentially offensive:
• No photographs of women and / or scantily clad men
• Do not allow images suggestive
• There will be no sexual connotations whatsoever
• Nothing that can cause sexual excitement
• No applications that may come to involve sexual content
All I can say about this is that each person is free to carry on your terminal type of content that you see fit and that, apparently, Apple has made it very clear that things are done or how they say, or rather not made. But on the other hand, we all know that there are alternatives to doing whatever we want with our terminal.
