HTML Source Reveals Apple’s “Find My Friends”

Remember early in the day when the iOS 4.3 SDK came out there was all of these finding that suggested that Apple was planning an iOS 5 friend service similar to google latitude? Well HTML finding somewhat confirm this. Yes today in HTML code we have found Apple’s service which will probably be called “Find My Friends” the service will let you see your friends on the map along with an additional detail of pushing photos to your friends. Yes like photo stream it is rumored that your photos stream will show up on your profile so when you take a photo then it will be on your profile for all your friends to see. I am guessing that you will need to enable that service along with “Find My Friends”. Also it seems this won’t be just for photos as well it may also be for video. Photo Stream is no doubt right now just for photos but again HTML findings show that find my friends might also be sharing photos and video over photo stream or whatever they decide to call it. It seems very interesting and I would like to see it happen and try it out. Hopefully it does become reality I mean they have patents for it.

It seems today Apple has released iTunes match. iTunes match is what will take your entire music library and store it on iCloud instead of just your iTunes store bought items. iTunes match is free for developer testing and developers will get a three month extended trial membership if they purchase the service for $24.99 when it is released. Release notes:

iTunes Match stores your complete music library in iCloud, allowing you to enjoy your collection anywhere, anytime, on any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer. iTunes Match beta is currently available to developers in the United States. Beta subscribers will receive iTunes Match service during the beta period plus an additional 3 months for free with their 12 month paid subscription.
To get started with iTunes Match, download the current version of iOS 5 beta and iTunes 10.5 beta 6.1 with iTunes Match. Once installed, choose Turn On iTunes Match from the Store menu, and click “Subscribe for $24.99.”
Please note that you must maintain a local backup of your iTunes library as well as any music you add to iCloud. Apple will periodically reset your iCloud library during the beta and it is critical that you backup your music regularly. Some features and optimizations of iTunes Match will not be available during the beta.

This is a great way for Apple to compete with amazon and google for their music locker services.

iOS 5 beta 6 Expires September 29th GM?

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment

Well it seems that we might have found out the possible release of iOS 5 or at least the GM for developers. September 19th seems to be the date where the current beta of iOS 5 which is now beta 6 expires. There will of course probably be one more beta before this but this could just tell us the GM or public release which is cool. Also could it have the announcement of the iPhone 5? Anyone? Maybe not but Apple in the past usually has the GM seed alongside the iPhone hardware announcement so we can dream.

It seems that HP is backing down. Today HP announced that it is going to step out of the hardware business by saying they are not going to discontinue ALL webOS devices. webOS was a good operating system but had trouble making sales. BestBuy even wanted the TouchPad out of their stores because it wasn’t selling. So now There is only 4 mobile phone systems. Android,Windows Phone 7, iOS, and Blackberry OS. Also HP has announced that it is no longer gonna make windows based computers. HP said it wi continue to evaluate possibilities of WebOS. It’s been a good run WebOS hope to see you in the future.

New iPad TV ad “We’ll Never”

~ Matthew Jagiela ~ Leave a comment


Apple has a new TV ad with the iPad showing how the iPad is changing the way we do things. Just like the “If you asked” Tv ad.

We’ll never stop sharing our memories… or getting lost in a good book. We’ll always cook for our favorite team. We’ll still go to meetings, make home movies, and learn things. But how we do all this will never be the same.

Also at the end of the ad as a quick little promotion for the new Mac OS X you notice the Alphabet fun app the kid in the video is using one of the words is LION. Good timing and good little promotion huh?
