Apple releases iTunes 10.5.1 iTunes Match Launch today?

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Today Apple has released iTunes 10.5.1  (Download link) to everyone. Yesterday Apple cleared out the developers iTunes match for what is the 4th time for developers and it seems today could be the day where everyone gets the service. iTunes match is the service for $25 a year allowing music to be stored in iCloud that isn’t downloaded from the iTunes store and through Music Files and CD’s (if anyone still uses CD’s) and pushes them to all your iCloud enabled devices. So will you use this service or is it just another thing to say “is useful but not for me”?

No Steve Jobs isn’t Dead [Twitter Rumors]

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ 1 Comment

As one of the top stories surrounding Apples former CEO Steve Jobs CBS released a false statement saying that Steve Jobs had passed away.

“Reports say that Steve Jobs has passed away. Stay tuned for more updates.”

This comes from the CBS Trending Twitter feed and boy did everyone go crazy about it. But the Tweet was later removed and this one took its place.

“Reports of Steve Job’s [sic] death completely unconfirmed.”

Also CultOfMac talked to an Apple PR and they didn’t say that he has passed. So everyone stop worrying Steve is still with us.

A 3G iPod Touch Sounds Magical

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

For as long as the iPod touch has been around there has always been rumors of Apple adding 3G support somewhat like they do with the current iPad 2 3G. This has never happened but now the rumor of it happening is up again and this time I think it could happen. You see people have been saying the iPod is dead. This may be somewhat true but remember the iPod touch has been for people who don’t want to pay per month. The iPod touch has been a great way to do this and now it could be you don’t need to pay by month if you don’t want to you can pay as you go and use iMessages for texts and Skype for calls instead of a pre-paid iPhone where you need texts and calls and all that stuff you don’t  by an iPod for. You buy an iPod touch for Games, Downloading music, Talking with friends, and for what I see most people use it for. THE WEB. Not texting not calling just using the web with their apps or safari. That’s why the 3G iPod touch is a good idea. Here is a statement posted on macrumors

After talking with multiple people over the past few weeks, we had a lengthy chat with one person who gave us great news about the next iPod Touch. We’ve used this person in the past, but they did qualify their remarks, saying that the iPod Touch changes should make it, but there’s no guarantee the changes will be ready for fall. The 3G iPod Touch idea intrigued us so much back in July, and we’ve been trying to find one of our contacts who can give some credence to the idea. A few have declined to comment, while others honestly have no idea, but the source for this report says that Apple is indeed working on a 3G iPod Touch. Apple is intent on announcing the device during their September event which they usually save for their iPod line, but will include the iPhone as well this year.

All and all I hope they have the options of 3G+wifi or Wifi only. We will see this month hopefully with the arrival of the iPhone 5 as well.

San Francisco Police Admits to Helping Apple Find iPhone 5

Well it seems that the SFPD actually did have knowledge of the missing iPhone 5 prototype unlike they have said in the past. The SFPD said they accompanied 2 secret Apple detectives to Calderón’s home where Calderón didn’t have the phone and denied ever having the phone.

The San Francisco Weekly Reports:

“Contradicting past statements that no records exist of police involvement in the search for the lost prototype, San Francisco Police Department spokesman Lt. Troy Dangerfield now tells SF Weekly that “three or four” SFPD officers accompanied two Apple security officials in an unusual search of a Bernal Heights man’s home.

Dangerfield says that, after conferring with Apple and the captain of the Ingleside police station, he has learned that plainclothes SFPD officers went with private Apple detectives to the home of Sergio Calderón, a 22-year-old resident of Bernal Heights. According to Dangerfield, the officers “did not go inside the house,” but stood outside while the Apple employees scoured Calderón’s home, car, and computer files for any trace of the lost iPhone 5. The phone was not found, and Calderón denies that he ever possessed it.”

There you have it. Seems like all of this is confusing right? Well it is. I will continue to update you with all of this as it happens.
