2012-05-24
what's shakin Brian song here and welcome to little show we like to call-- the Alpha by for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple and if you're good today class we won't give you a spanking onto the news and we show you a lot of Apple parts that get leaked early but this is believed to be the front panel for the next generation iPod Touch with the Mac rumor source claiming that it will be taller than the current model with an opening measuring 4.1 inches diagonally with the viewable display to be slightly smaller it's a pretty safe bet that app will use the same screen size for both its ipod touch and iphone line since they have done that in the past and this is new evidence supported by a 9 to 5 Mac report that says there are a few next-gen iPhones in testing at Apple locked in shelves to disguise their exterior design now two of them spore display that is three point nine nine nine inches diagonally and a pixel resolution of 640 by eleven thirty six that's an extra 176 pixels longer than the current display now the screen is very close to a sixteen by nine resolution so videos can fill out the screen at their native resolution and Apple is currently testing builds of iOS 6 custom built to the new display that fits five rows of icons now all this is juicy stuff but based on the recent reports and time tables I think we'll see a whole bunch of OS 10 mountain lion at WWDC and the hot new hardware will be the new MacBook Pros and IMAX we've got to see a preview of iOS 6 just something even for developers to preview like they have in the past but I don't think we'll see the next iPhone until a later event I know a lot of you might be a little bummed out right now but I just wanted to prepare you mentally because I know how some of you get I don't like that Apple now we plan on seeing a lot of mountain lion and a few more Nuggets are coming out automatic downloads were hinted at earlier and the latest build allows you to enable the feature for installing new purchases on multiple computers with the same iCloud account it's not active right now but it's pretty similar to what happens on iOS devices and another feature and looks like we'll see is voice dictation humming - max after 95 Mac found resource files inside of Safari inside of the latest OS 10 build that show the key command to bring up voice dictation but not everyone is fond of Apple voice recognition apps IBM isn't the biggest fan of Siri and is blocking the feature on their own internal networks because of the way your speech is recorded then upload it to Apple servers and then deciphered before being sent back now there concern that commands and sensitive information or the company like contacts and more to be potentially stored on Apple Zen but shouldn't we all be a little worried about that yeah we should be now let's check out this cool project called leap that allows the controller computer by using your hand it's a little small box that tracks your hands motions it's similar to Microsoft's Kinect but it's a lot more accurate and can track your movements down to 1/100 of a millimeter it'll be interesting to see how this works with real applications because all I do with my Kinect displayed am central alone by myself now the leap will cost you 69 bucks and you can pre-order it on their website alright guys for the quick bytes word on the street from boy Gina's report is that Microsoft is set to release the full office suite for iOS and Android tablets in November an image back in February was leaked out and Microsoft said it was fake so we should believe everything they say moving forward and jailbreakers you should know that the absinthe 2.0 untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 is planning to drop this week so keep your eyes open for that and you know me I'm a fan of some of these amazing Kickstarter projects so we wanted to show some love to the gee-tar it's the first digital iPhone powered guitar with a built in iPhone dock that uses sensors to relay what's you're playing and also has a built-in app that teaches you how to play songs it's pretty amazing and finally we talked about an Apple Store concept in the past where you can walk from the sidewalk to the inside of a store seamlessly it looks like that store is currently being built at Stanford Shopping Center under a black cloth and this concept drawing gives you a peek at the over 1,200 square foot 23 foot tall single-story store it's expected to be open by the end of the year and is described as making the space between the outside and inside almost indistinguishable translation more idiots waffle middle-class all right that's gonna do it for this week's show send us your emails to the Apple bite at cnet.com and ideas or things you'd like to see will respond thanks for watching I'm Brian Todd we'll catch you guys next time for another bite of the Apple
