Apple’s late on this one. Really late. We first heard about its plans for push notification last year. It’s the neat system that’ll let you receive alerts from apps without them being open all the time, preserving the iPhone’s battery life but giving nearly all the benefits of multi-tasking. And now it’s here, in the iPhone OS 3.0.
The App Store has been one of Apple’s biggest ever successes, and now it’s poised for a refresh, with new tools, and new ways to get hold of apps and content. Read on for the details.
UPDATE: As well as allowing the iPhone to communicate over Bluetooth, Apple’s added A2DP stereo Bluetooth support too. Say hello to streaming nirvana… oh, and expect Apple to start making Bluetooth headphones any day now.
Apple finally unleashed the power of the iPhone’s bluetooth and dock connector today. Now, instead of being limited to powering Bluetooth headsets and humdrum speaker docks, the iPhone will communicate with other devices, either wirelessly or using its dock connector.
The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) plans to add one button streaming for all of its 1.3 million listed titles. And for free. Yup, absolutely nada. Read on for all the instant movie info.
We were pretty impressed by the MSI Wind U110 ECO and its nine hour battery life when we got wind of it yesterday, and even more so by the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 graphics card MSI said would be inside. Imagine our disappointment then when MSI came back cap in hand to tell us that it’s not getting a dedicated graphics card after all.
