iPhone has the potential to take over handheld gaming


The iPhone is in a significantly different class of performance, has far more internal resources for games, and is equipped with a variety of other hardware–from its camera to its ubiquitous (if slow) mobile network to its multitouch high resolution display and accelerometers–all of which have to power to unlock entirely new classes of games and other more serious applications.

As a handheld console, this feature set makes the iPhone a bit like the Wii, with interactive new gameplay features, and a bit like the PS3, with higher performance gaming specs and additional online and media capabilities. Buyers won’t have to decide if they want a handheld game console; they’ll get it for free when they buy the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Further, because Apple is attaching game development as a sidecar dessert on top of a device that is primarily monetized as a hardware sale (boosted by retail and accessory sales, media sales, and carrier revenue sharing), developers will get more bang from their buck and will incur less risk developing games for the iPhone. The iPhone has also already proven itself as a very desirable smartphone, even before the arrival of any native games, ameliorating the worries of a whether games developers should invest in the platform.

Firmware 1.2 Beta Has Self-Destruction Feature


Now that developers have started to be excepted into Apple's iPhone Dev program, many of those who weren't will most likely be looking for a leaked copy of the 1.2 beta version of the iPhone firmware. To counteract this, Apple has put some limitations in place to stop this from happening.

Apple's SDK documentation warns:

“Once you install the pre-release iPhone OS on your device, such device may only be used for development and testing purposes until the final (GM) version of the iPhone OS is released. In addition, you will need to install new versions of the software from time to time throughout the beta period. Failure to install the most current version will, after a period of time, put your device in a deactivated state.”

It's also been found that the beta fimrware updates the device's baseband, making the update permanent and unable to be downgraded from. So, once you dedicate an iPhone to development, it will stay that way until the next public firmware update.

The 1.2 beta also disables the devices raido, meaning it can no longer make phone calls.

Allegedly there are patches floating around the hacking community for the beta, but so far none have been released.

Mac mini to See Update After All


AppleInsider is reporting that they were wrong about previous claims that the Mac mini was to be discontinued.

People familiar with the matter are informing AppleInsider that a small team of engineers have been tasked with updating the internals of the Mac mini.

Among the improvements destined for the new lineup are 45-nanometer Core 2 Duo mobile chips starting at 2.1GHz with 3MB of shared L2 cache, an 800MHz front-side bus (up from 667MHz), and a step up to the same Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics processor employed by the existing line of 13-inch consumer MacBooks. .

Apple's long term plans for the Mac mini are still unknown; however, this update should see the Mac mini around for at least one year.
