Apple TV price drops suggest a new model is on the way

Best Buy and Amazon have started selling the current model of Apple TV for only $90 $10 dollars cheaper than Apple’s Retail stores. This usually means a new refresh is coming. Makes sense right in time for the holidays. Also with the (2010) beside it meaning it is an older model.

The new Apple TV is Rumored to have 16Gb of internal Storage, iCloud support, and an Updated A5 processor. Come on did you really think a Siri equipped Apple TV or a full iTV would just appear without a keynote? Just seems to be a hardware bump and yes I don’t expect us to see Siri on the Apple TV refresh either. Sorry!

Something new…

Hi everyone,

This is Tate from AllTheWay Apps!  My fantastic friend (This site’s owner) has let me make a post on his blog in order to advertise and get some views on my blog!  The address is: All The Way Apps Developer Blog. On my blog, I will be posting about the development of games for iOS, meaning daily updates, tips, tricks, even tutorials every now and then.  Over the past few days, I’ve been posting about a game inspired by Minecraft and Terraria.  Thats right, one of those games where you spawn in a randomly generated world and have to survive and thrive.  I highly recommend you check it out.

Well that’s all for now, make sure you check out my blog, but more importantly, make sure you keep coming back and checking this site!  Thanks Matt!

Apple releases iTunes 10.5.1 iTunes Match Launch today?

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”?

Apple releases iOS 4.0.1 beta to developers. Hopes to fix battery problems

Apple today had announced there was some battery bug problems and shortly after there is a new beta out for developers to download that will hopefully fix the poor battery problems! Also included in this update is multitouch gestures for original iPad users which I am sure some will be very happy about! Also iCloud document syncing errors so maybe we can share with Mac OS X now? So developers get downloading!

Will the iPad 2 get Siri?

There has been a lot of talk on if the iPad 2 will get siri or not. It seems to meet the requirements a microphone and the A5 processor so why isn’t it there and will we ever see it? Well there is a reason we haven’t seen it yet and a giant IF of the iPad getting it. Siri is right now in Beta testing for everyone with the iPhone 4S to get rid of all the problems in it and make it even better and to make sure servers are ready for it which haven’t been doing to well because they have already crashed. Also right now Siri is the biggest if not the only selling point to get the new iPhone. So will we ever see it for the iPad 2? Maybe but probably not. I think Apple is going to actually have Siri for iPad as a selling point of the iPad 3. Also remember Apple views the iPad differe’t than the iPhone they don’t expect it to be everywhere and you to need voice controls for it which is probably the reason the iPhone 3Gs- iPhone 4 voice controls aren’t there. So I think we will see it in the next model and if we are lucky maybe in a software update when beta on the iPhone 4S is done.
