2010-08-30
what's up i'm brian tong and welcome to the Apple buy for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple September is just about here and we've received our invite to Apple special media event on September the 1st now it's a safe bet that we'll see new iPods across the board including iPod Touches with a Retina display and FaceTime and possibly even a nano without a click wheel now the rumors have been swirling around apple's itv product but people are really missing the biggest clue yet and it's on the invitation hello the I guitar it's right there so let's recap some of the chatter about the next Apple TV if we see it it's rumored to be using an a4 processor chip there's still no word about a subscription model but it looks like there will be $0.99 TV show rentals and there will be access to the App Store with the potential for the iPad or iPhone to be used as a remote now according to Bloomberg even Steve Jobs doesn't think this will revolutionize TV because most people aren't ready to cut off their cable and stream content yet now if you guys want this to really be a game changer you got to integrate the ITV the iOS and Apple's ecosystem into its own TV I can only imagine what the ITV could be like for me hey come here check this out check this out do you guys yeah it's 24 baby changing change it change it whoa do that it's called bright TV oh wait yeah yeah I got you pause okay so bright TVs the best yeah it is you know I still can't believe that girl hasn't taken home an Oscar it's a travesty now let's talk about a product we won't see at the keynote but we'll see in the future can you guys say iMac touch patently Apple revealed a patent application that shows how Apple would transition the Mac computer from a mouse and keyboard input into a touch base input for iOS an accelerometer in the display or a sensor in the hinge would transition the software over and this also applies to Apple laptops make this the second time I've wet myself on the Apple bike this year and in Apple patents you might not like the big a applied for a patent that could potentially identify suspicious behavior on an iPhone and either use voice facial or heartbeat recognition to identify and then potentially shut down the device and there's a clue the next-gen iPhone will have a heartbeat sensor Apple mentions jailbreaking and unlocking the phone as an authorized use and I don't know anyone around here that has done that before now this isn't happening yet but it is a little freaky to see what Apple is thinking about in the future all right if you might be wondering where all your voicemails are going I've got a tip for you what's up guys Brian Shawn here with cnet.com and if you're just like me which you aren't you're having problems receiving voicemails on your iphone lately now the last one I received was about a month ago in July and I can assure you my mom leaves plenty of voicemails for me on my phone now if you suspect her visual voicemail isn't working dial into your voicemail directly by holding the number one on your dial pad and you'll hear a status update now that's a lot of booty calls you don't want to miss so let's show you how to achieve your missing voicemails go into your settings then general scroll to the bottom to find a reset and you'll want to select reset network settings if have a passcode lock which you should enter it in press the magic button and your phone will restart this method can potentially help if your phone is having trouble accessing network data for things like surfing the web and downloading email or retrieving your voicemails it will also reset all the Wi-Fi networks your phone automatically connects to so you'll have to re-enter those passwords as well if this doesn't work select the reset all settings which is also work for me but you'll have to re-enter things like your iTunes password but it will not erase any content on your phone now let's give it a few moments and voila there are my voicemails ready for me to listen to one month later i'm brian song with your how-to for retrieving your missing iphone voicemails use it wisely that guy needs some help like some serious professional help a lot more mad i will tell him that thank you now we like bold statements but LG's VP of Marketing is doing his job when he recently said our tablet will be better than the iPad it's going to be surprisingly productive LG's android-based tablet is expected by the end of the year and competition is always a good thing but a recent I supply report estimates that Apple will dominate the tablet market this year with over 74% of tablet shipments and will still hold over 60% of shipments by 2012 you better jump on that LG alright let's check out the app of the week you've been asking about it and here it is the Netflix app for iPhone and iPod Touch that allows you to watch movies and TV shows from your Netflix queue over Wi-Fi and 3G now it has a clean interface video quality is acceptable over Wi-Fi but 3G is really going to depend on your connection and you can add content to your instant queue directly from the app it's a free app but you'll need the Netflix $8.99 plan to access streaming content but I'm excited this thing is finally here all right on to the quick bytes netbook manufacturers are probably crying after seeing this it's the key case iPad folio with an integrated Bluetooth keyboard that has a thin leather profile the keyboard can be charged separately it lasts 45 hours with a full and it's about 90 US dollars I want to play with one of these ASAP and finally the Japanese sumo Association is planning to hand out iPads to 51 stables or clubs that the sumo wrestlers belong to they struggle using selfies for communication because of the size of their large hands I could kind of relate because I was always called sausage fingers back in elementary school all right that's gonna do it for this week's show send me your emails to the Apple bita cnet.com i'm brian tom thanks for watching we'll see you guys next week for another bite of the Apple bye bright TVs the best yeah it is
