2012-07-05
what's happened in Bryan song here and welcome to the apple pie for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple I know you guys could probably tell I have a stuffy nose in a little bit of the sniffles right what's up Jamie sup dude what we can do a better job your dog please give me a break all right guys let's jump the stories with the rumors that some of you want to believe I still don't believe it yet it's the ipad mini me now the new report from chinese site my drivers calm says the seven point eight five inch ipad will launch later this year it will be the same thickness as the ipad 2 and utilize Sharp's IGZO technology to create a thinner and brighter display that was rumored for the ipad 3 but it wasn't ready in time for mass production back then now the report also says the ipad minis endurance has been strengthened just like me now it's remember to have eight gigs of capacity with a price point between 249 and 299 and would be positioned to go head on with Google's recently announced Nexus 7 with jellybean the kindle fire and the nut color we should also remind you these rumors started immediately after the very first ipad was announced in 2010 and are still going now last week we also told you how a Retina Display looked unlikely on the new imacs but a new report from digit times one week later changes that outlook they report the new imac will debut around October with a high chance of sporting a Retina display their logic is that Apple is looking to expand its retina display across all product lines seriously they actually wrote that my pet rock could have told me the same thing what's up Einstein now their sources also report in addition to launching a new imac this year they will completely refresh the imac and Mac Pros with brand new models next year so the takeaway here you can still expect a new imac this year and it's worth waiting for but no one really knows if I ran the display is coming with it now you also probably saw last week Apple conveniently released their own apple podcast app the day after we suggested an alternative the good thing you can now subscribe to podcasts directly from the iOS app but its top stations is a pretty useless interface that makes finding new content a chore and then clicking into the catalogue to another panel to find podcast is clunky now other than giving me subscriptions it's a poorly designed app they need to improve this a lot and it definitely feels like a rush job to me and guess what it's worthy i'm a bad apple now i'm sticking with downcast and many of you also suggested to check out in stochastic you guys can take a look at that one now there also may be a new payout if you've ever made an eye product in the past Apple finally settled the iPad name dispute with probe you in China forget this 60 million dollars Apple had purchased the name from probe you in 2009 under a shell company but the use of the ipad trademark in China was never officially granted now with the settlement it's theirs so after that a Chinese company that makes toothpaste and cleaning chemicals with the brand names Snow Leopard decided that Mac os10 snow leopard is a violation of their trademark and they're asking for eighty thousand dollars in damages so a computer operating system and toilet cleaners I thought they were the same to all right guys for the quick bites Apple has launched the new icloud.com beta site for registered iOS and Mac developers notes and reminders were previously rumored and they've made it to the all web interface for iCloud find my iphone has been redesigned with a new look and there looks to be new notifications related to the calendar application and find my iphone as well apple's mobileme service ended on june thirtieth in case you guys didn't know but apple still allowing users to download their precious gallery photos and I disk files for a limited extended period so is something you should probably get on ASAP alright guys that's going to do it for this we show email us at the apple byte at cnet com and I do answer some of the emails and my friends Stuart yes you Stuart in New York I'm talking to you boy take care of yourself and your lovely wife host Athena alright guys I'm Brian Tom thanks for watching it will catch you guys next time for another bite of the Apple well no but my boy roll over
