На отпуске «roadmap» должностного лица SDK вчера, мы получили очень больше чем мы предположили. Также, как большое официальное сообщение для печати внутренние деятельности и функции SDK (маленькое над-сложного к столбу), мы получили demo в реальном маштабе времени и tantalising перспективность разыгрыша на iPhone. Однако, рассказом причиняя большинств содом в настоящее время будет объявленный отпуск споры на iPhone (официальной дате начала распределения продукции в сентябре). Игра была demoed, и наряду с другими играми на выставке (включая супер шарик обезьяны), спорой сделанная хорошая польза имеющейся технологии, использующ акселерометр для того чтобы манипулировать окружающую среду.
Более дополнительные объявления включили apps предпринимательства и вмещаемость сервера обменом Apple новую
возглавьте сверх к человеку внутри Apple для вполне рассказа. Было также объявление что Apple будет ограничивать программы VOIP (голоса над IP) используют клетчатые сети, но позволит те которые используют Wi-Fi; интересная перспективность.
Родние применения iPhone должны быть downloaded сразу от магазина iTunes, и проявители получат princely 70% из дохода в ежемесячных рассрочках.
SDK имеющееся для проявителей download теперь на
Web site Apple (медленно из-за требования), включая славный эмулятор средства программирования iPhone, котор нужно помочь с процессом. Однако, гонорар $99 членств должен быть paid вывесить применения сразу к магазину iTunes. Полный вариант (это только бета) будет выпущен в Джун к всем предпринимателям iPhone, хотя потребители касания iPod должны оплатить награду.
Читать о этом больш, но ничего бьет наблюдая Стив делает его вещь.
Возглавьте сверх к месту Apple для peek.

After a long wait, AT&T has officially stated that it will be expanding its 3G capabilities across the 100 largest US cities, effective in 2008. Whilst it isn't included in the announcement, the main reason for this must be a 3G iPhone, already in the pipeline.
The increase in transfer speeds will hopefully silence some of the iPhone's detractors, who thought (and rightly so) that the EDGE network was sluggish and couldn't keep up with the next gen requirements of the iPhone. With all the new features, its a shame that the network could let Apple down in such a way, loading pages in safari in minutes, not the seconds which you see in the adverts. And with a multi-year deal between Apple and AT&T, they can't switch to another/multiple providers. So all we can do is pray AT&T get their act together and get the service up and running. The basic transfer speed of 3G is at least three or four times faster than the '2.5 G' EDGE and similar networks, and AT&T are already working on 4G, which will no doubt put 3G to shame.
3G was initially held from the iPhone's feature list due to battery issues and the relative youth of the technology. You have to hand it to Apple- they took a risk, and it paid off big time- 4 million sales and counting. Now, with 3G talk-time extended to 5 hours minimum, it has become a business possibility. And in talks late last year, both AT&T bosses and Steve Jobs let slip that it would be out long before the close of 2008. To keep us happy, Apple, please release the iPhone Nano, a theoretical product which looks ace- see artist impression below.

During Macworld, Steve Jobs told the New York Times that Apple will not make an e-book reader like Amazon’s Kindle because Americans don’t read any longer.He cited a specific number: 40 percent of Americans read a book or less a year, he said.Jobs may have been referring to a November report from the National Endowment of the Arts, To Read or Not To Read, which found that nearly 50 percent of 18-24 year-olds do not read at all for pleasure. Described as the most complete survey of reading trends, the report says Americans aged 15-24 spend two hours a day watching TV, but only 7-10 minutes reading. This includes reading for school or college.”The story the data tell is simple, consistent, and alarming,” wrote Dana Gioia, Chairman of the NEA.The decline of reading has considerable social, economic and civil consequences, says the NEA, and coincides with the rise of TV and the internet.

I was really let down by the Macworld 2008 keynote yesterday. Steve Job's keynotes are a thing of lore, and yesterday, his legendary speeches lost a bit of their allure. There was a lack of 'BOOM's, no 'one more thing', and actually, an obvious empty spot, bereft of new, exciting products.
For the last year, Apple could do no wrong. They have released a stream of complete, advanced products, which has directly translated into a build up of momentum, and their shares ballooning to $200. Given these circumstances, the keynote was never going to live up to the collective Apple communities' expectations.
The online community tends to glorify these speeches, but I have already noticed websites such as Gizmodo and Engadget turning a accusing eye to Apple's court. The only way to sum this up is to take an objective look at what Apple 'really' released yesterday. Firstly, we have the success of Leopard, a solid release that really helped Apple to increase their market share following Vista, or 'OS Version Hell', as I like to call it. So far, so good. But from here on, things turned a bit sour.
Next came the release of Time Capsule, essentially a promised feature of the original beta version of Leopard which was removed from the Gold Master at the last minute. After a long wait, we are offered a 'new product', essentially an Airport base station and a hard drive in one. What was wrong with my original Airport Extreme and Hard drive that I had set up for Leopard? Instead, now I have to fork out for a stand alone product, when third party peripherals are cheaper, probably more reliable, and generally preferable.
There was much controversy surrounding the failed first incarnation of Apple TV, the most recent occasion where risky innovation hasn't worked for Apple. Apple TV 2, however, looks set ot work, and the Movie Rentals idea is a solid one. The price is right, with the $4.99 fee sitting somewhere lower than your average Blockbuster.
Next exhibit- the iPod/iPhone debacle. The reality of an SDK is getting ever closer, but Apple thought it would keep us sated to release some new applications for the iPod, ported over from the iPhone. How cool! We get stocks, weather, notes, mail and maps, all for 'free'. That is, if you don't already have an iPod. Early adopters get stung by Apple, just as usual, by having to fork over $20 for five free applications.
And finally, the Macbook Air. I was initially wowed by this thing, and its hard to deny Apple's marketing plan- it fits inside an envelope? 'The thinnest laptop ever' is an excellent piece of computing design and minituarisation, but could have been oh so much more. There are a few areas where the target market (road warriors), will find issues, such as the non-replaceable battery.
I respect and adore Apple, but yesterday they came dangerously close to losing my interest altogether. Its isn't a coincidence that the shares have fallen to $160, and the 'Keynote Index' theory is broken. All in all, Macworld 2008 wasn't successful, and Apple will have to reel out some special products over the next few months in order to regain their impetus. Where were the new Apple Cinema Displays? Where was my iPhone 3G announcement? Where was my Macbook Pro refresh? These, and many more glorious products, were noticeably absent...
