Apple is announcing the new iOS5 for iDevices , with a whole list of changes that ensue.
Top 10 features
There are more than 200 new features . we will detail them soon
More developing …….soon!
Apple has just announced then new iMessage service at the WWDC as a part of the new iOS 5
Includes delivery receipts, with the option to read them. A typer indicator, so you know if the other person is snoozing, and you can push to all your devices. It handles text messages, photos, video, contacts, group messaging.
Rumors abound that Apple’s new iTunes will have an option to automatically download app updates to your iOS devices without needing to perform a wired sync. The leaked version of iTunes has a My App Updates screen which describes a previously unseen feature “If your device has Automatic Download enabled for apps, your updates will download to your device without having to sync.”
As the Automatic Download setting doesn’t yet exist in iOS, the leak appears to suggest that this feature will become available in iOS 5. All features of iOS 5 will be revealed on Monday during the Apple World Wide Developers Conference. We will be covering the event live here.
We have heard some amazing and shocking stories relating to Apple products, from thieves to muggers,but this by far is the worst. A 17-year-old Chinese boy living in the Anhui province in China sold his kidney for 22,000 yuan, or about $3,400 (INR 1,60,000/-) So that he could buy the iPad 2.
“I wanted to buy an iPad 2 but could not afford it,” the unnamed boy told Shanghai Daily. “A broker contacted me on the Internet and said he could help me sell one kidney for 20,000 yuan.”
He underwent surgery at a Chenzhou hospital. When his parents found out, they notified the police immediately but they have been unable to locate the broker, according to the report. The child now says he regrets his decision.
Make sure the next time you need to buy things you cannot afford, the enjoyment of owning that item, will be a lot less without your crucially important bodily organs.
The Japanese manufacturer is coming out with a new tablet called the Thrive this summer. The Thrive has most of the features you’ve come to expect from a tablet, a 10.1 inch screen, the latest version of the Android operating system, Honeycomb 3.1, front-facing 2.1-mega pixel camera and 5-mega pixel rear-facing camera for photos and video conferencing, a gyroscope, rotation lock, and a 7- to 8-hour battery life (that’s continuous hours of playing HD video). It weighs in at 1.6 pounds, and is a little on the thicker side at 0.6 inches.
The thickness was compromised for several features that Toshiba thinks customers will want: built-in HDMI out port, USB, mini USB, SD card slot. In other words, ports you’d find on many computers.The Thrive also comes with a few perks. It has Log Me In software installed for you to control your desktops from the tablet, a file manager built on top of Android for you to view files stored on your pen-drives and SD cards and also a piece of software that’s called PrintShare which allows you to print documents directly from the tablet, which is similar to Apple’s AirPrint and Samsung’s MobilePrint.
The Thrive will come in three sizes: 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB. All are Wi-Fi only, and will be priced at $429, $479, and $579, respectively.
You can now turn your iPad into a fully functional laptop by purchasing the Crux Loaded case. For $250 you can purchase this case which has an iPad dock in place of the screen. It gives you a keyboard and trackpad that connects to your iPad via Bluetooth, and a 7.5 hour extended battery on top of the iPad’s already impressive 10 hour battery. To make full use of it you would need a remote desktop app on your iPad.
Of course, for the price of this dock + the iPad, you could probably buy a decent stand-alone laptop but its always good to have options.
Apple inc. filed a patent yesterday, that they could actually potentially use. Pairing an infrared sensor with the camera already on board, portable devices could receive data from transmitters placed on strategic locations at copyright events.
These transmitters would prevent the camera from recording and would instead show, watermarks, blank screen and even warning messages to the smartphone user.
Its already been known for a few days now, but it has been made official. The iPhone 4 officially becomes available in India from tomorrow the 27th of May 2011.

Press Release
Redfish Instruments Introduces World’s First iPhone-Enabled Wireless Multimeter
SANTA CRUZ, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Redfish Instruments, Inc., a provider of iPhone- and iPad-enabled electronic test and measurement equipment, announced today the introduction of the iDVM™ Digital Multimeter. The iDVM multimeter wirelessly connects to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch via an ad hoc wireless network allowing users to acquire, visualize, and share electrical measurement data on their Apple devices. The iDVM app can be downloaded free from the Apple App Store.
According to Patrick O’Hara, Redfish Instruments’ president and CEO, “The unique pairing of the iPhone or iPad with a digital multimeter provides a user experience that is truly revolutionary. Not since the advent of the LCD has the multimeter been so substantially enhanced.” Regarding the market opportunity, Mr. O’Hara commented, “The iPhone and iPad provide a known user interface that permits customers to interact with electronic test and measurement tools that was not possible prior to this post-pc era. We believe that our new iDVM voltmeter is the first of many new uses for this tremendous interface; we’re excited to be an early pioneer.”
Traditionally, multimeters have not provided an easy method of exporting or saving data. The iDVM permits a user to log data over an extended period of time using the iPhone or the iPad as the storage device. For example, service engineers can use the iDVM to collect data and store it in a report for submission to their clients, or keep the data on the voltmeter for their own records. Using the GeoTag feature of the iPhone or iPad, service engineers can even identify their location as part of the data. The iDVM is built in the USA using all USA-made parts, and uses rechargeable batteries.
The iDVM was designed for a wide range of users-from automotive technicians, to advanced embedded systems engineers, to electrical or building contractors, to field service workers.
The iPad 2 has finally made it to stores in India, and the stock is apparently flying off of shelves. All stockists were given strict instructions to not take pre orders and the iPad 2 is available on first come first serve basis to those willing to buy it.
