Rural carriers complain to FCC about iPhone exclusivity

Dan Moren — Wed, 21 May 2008 17:22:26 +0000

Many potential iPhone customers in the US have been irked by Apple’s exclusive deal with AT&T, but that marriage is now coming under pressure from another source: small, rural cellphone providers. At issue is the the fact that AT&T does not offer the iPhone for sale in many rural areas where they only offer roaming service.

And, since the exclusive deal prohibits the local cell providers from selling the iPhone, that means that inhabitants of those areas—like much of Vermont, and rural areas in 15 other states—will not be recipients of the iPhone love.

So it is that the Rural Cellular Association, a trade group of 80 small rural providers, plans to petition the FCC to look into the legality of exclusive deals such as the one between AT&T and Apple. According to the Wall Street Journal, most of these small carriers serve 500,000 people or fewer, though those numbers do add up. Ars Technica highlights the case in Alaska, where residents had trouble legally using the iPhone, due to service restrictions imposed by AT&T.

The FCC has apparently intervened on similar issues in the past, as Ars points out, such as forcing Direct Broadcast Satellite providers to offer their services in Alaska and Hawaii. Whether or not that precedent will cover the RCA’s request remains to be seen.

There's good news and there's bad news. The bad news: Apple still doesn't approve of people jailbreaking their iPhones to run third party applications and this still voids your warranty.

Analysts: Expect Few Major Changes With 3G iPhone

Edward Kirk — Wed, 21 May 2008 16:05:59 +0000

Analysts from Piper Jaffray are saying not to expect any radical changes to the next iPhone. The firm says that they believe the only major difference between the new device and the old one will be the 3G connectivity, and not to expect anything like GPS. They do note that other differences have not been entirely ruled out, but other changes will more likely be cosmetic, such as a new faceplate or increased thickness due to the larger 3G chipset.

Ambrosia Releases Aki Mahjong Solitaire 1.2.0

-Administration- — Wed, 21 May 2008 14:36:00 +0000

Ambrosia Software, Inc. announced today the release of Aki Mahjong Solitaire 1.2.0. This release brings support for both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs, and also provides enhancements to the beautiful Mahjong Solitaire game.

This updated version, free to registered users of Aki, may be downloaded here:
http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/Aki/

Aki 1.2.0 features the following improvements and changes:
-- Aki is now a Universal Binary that runs natively on PowerPC and Intel Macs
-- Incorporates new Ambrosia registration system
-- Various improvements and bug fixes

Aki Mahjong Solitaire is a journey through the uniquely fascinating scenery and culture of Japan, and a journey of meditative bliss, learning how to let the Mahjong tiles match themselves. In Aki, you may find your moment of Zen.
The principle is simple: you have a number of ivory tiles arranged on a beautiful Japanese backdrop. Your goal is to make all of the tiles disappear by matching them to similar tiles. The catch is that tiles can be removed only if they are unblocked on either side by other tiles, and you have the uncompromising ticking away of the time limit to contend with.

At each step in your path, you will encounter new challenges in the variety of tile layouts presented to you, and a variety of skill levels that ensure you'll always find the experience engaging. As you progress, you will also be rewarded with fragments of Japanese culture and history, making your journey enlightening as well as enjoyable.

Aki costs $20, requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, and is a Universal Binary application.

OS X Video Director Looking For Help On Next Apple-Themed Viral Project

Leander Kahney — Wed, 21 May 2008 05:05:34 +0000

Dennis Liu, creator of the clever OS X-themed music video that went viral last week, is looking for help with his next Apple-themed video.
On May 9, Dennis posted a music video he’d made for indie band The Bird & The Bee featuring his OS X desktop and dozens of applications. The video, featured below, has been viewed more than 600,000 times and written up on scores of blogs and websites.
Eleven days later, the video has earned Dennis several job offers and offers of work from Yahoo, Microsoft and HBO, he says. According to Dennis, the highlights of his “crazy” week are:
- Ranked #1 viral video at www.viralvideochart.com for 1 week.- Head nods from several known Hollywood producers and directors.- Talks to getting a manager/agent at a major talent representation agency- NYU, USC, and Berkeley requesting the video to show their film/new media students.- E-mails from major corporations, including marketing directors and employees of Yahoo, Microsoft, HBO, Pixar, Disney, and of course Apple.- Invited to screen at film festivals world wide, from the UK to Australia- Bird & the Bee enjoyed the video, going to their NYC concert in June 2nd.- An apple store manager in IL showed all her employees the video as an example to artfully show the power of the macs to customers.- The author of “Stickies” wrote to congratulate, as well as a lead developer of OSX. http://mooseyard.com/Jens/2008/05/stickies-makes-its-music-video-debut/- Many, many, many start-ups/unknown musicians looking for a director to shoot their next video/ad.
Dennis works at the NY ad agency BBDO, and used to work out of Saatchi & Saatchi NY shooting viral videos. More about Dennis here.
Next on the horizon, Dennis says he’s looking for help shooting another Apple-related viral. He writes:
“I have another really cool idea, very different from this one - but still with enormous viral potential for Apple. Would take probably twice as long to make, but could be very cool. But am trying to decide whether it’s worth the amount of work… especially when it’s all by myself. If there is a next time, I could appreciate a hand….”

Kingdom Lores brings 3D gaming to the iPhone

Chase Higgins — Wed, 21 May 2008 04:30:07 +0000

The iPhone is an excellent target for gaming. The device’s glorious multi touch display is very intuitive for gaming, and the device has a relatively beefy internal specification sheet. Gaming and the iPhone are no strangers, and that is putting it mildly. Until now though, there have been no real 3D games. Kingdom Lores is out now, and it the first of its kind.

The game is being developed by Marco Giorgini by using a custom OpenGL rendering engine. This provides excellent rendering of the graphics, and as seen above, the iPhone does a great job. The game can be played in portrait mode, as seen here. Or in landscape, which will provide a first person view of the game play. The object of the game is to explore territories and slay dragons.

The game is not available in Installer just yet. You can get the game though, and manually load it onto your device. It can be had here. The game seems somewhat complete, and hopefully will be made available very soon.

The deal, according to Esteras, will be exclusive, but will only last for about 3 to 6 months before being opened to other carriers, which is unusual in comparison to the deals in other countries that last for years rather than months.
