Amazon's Cloud Player suddenly just works on your iPhone iOS 4.3 point 3 gets released so it's just a buck killer that's already been jailbroken and Apple explores the over-the-air updates for iOS 5 all this and more coming up right now hello everybody I'm high Meadow iveta and welcome to the park and now I review the show we go through all this week school and they're not so cool inside the world of Apple's iOS devices let's start this week off with the cool well iOS 4.3 point 3 just got released which is iOS 4.2 point 8 for Verizon customers though you guess that there aren't any enhancements the only bug killers that are included are the ones that deal with Spygate so if you don't want to be tracked you might as well just go an update now well the only reason this really made it to the cool section is because well it got jailbroken just a couple of hours later and it is untethered jailbreak so happy jailbreaking and well that's pretty much it for the iOS update if you can call it an update and well speed of jailbreaking fun a new hacker community called infinii dev team and yeah they're all called dev team it's just announced that they'll be releasing a CD alternative called Lema which again will offer you hacks and services to your iOS device now why is this cool first of all it's web-based so you don't require downloading an application for to work and second of all well it's really cool to see that there is competition for Cydia or that there will be because things are getting kind of expensive in cydia it's kind of ironic that some hacks are actually more expensive than applications in the App Store and while the amazon cloud player was a lot of news because of the fact that it beat Apple to the fact that Apple was working on bringing itunes to the cloud and Amazon just did it out of the blue not telling anybody about it now the tougher luck was the fact that amazon shows to only support android devices with an application for android now kind of interesting though is the fact that at first it didn't work on iOS devices but recently even though it tells you that your browser is not supported just hit continue and then you'll notice that a lot the application or the service is now working on your browser and well it's kind of ironic considering that the application for Android currently only available in the US but still I can actually upload music from my itunes library to the amazon cloud player service and play it on my iphone when I'm not in the United States kind of cool and well speed of competition let's talk about two companies that are making some interesting moves lately first of all Microsoft which just announced that their big maps is going to be compatible with iOS devices in the SDK this interesting because developers are now going to be able to use bing maps and services instead of google maps which were all stuck on right now and it's kind of cool because even though people say that it's a wrong move from Microsoft because they're competing with iOS devices think about it Microsoft's a software company even if they bring out Windows Phone and Windows their core business is software and there's no point in them selling software if it's not going to be compatible everywhere second of all well room is just announced that their blackberry enterprise server is going to be compatible with iOS devices meaning in the past their enterprise server would only work with blackberries and now it's going to work with iOS devices and possibly also Android now call it a weird move from rim but yeah they're not in the business of only selling phones and if their devices are not relevant anymore kind of a smart move to have iOS be part of their deal because they're CEOs out there everybody is using iPhones now almost everybody now rumors have Apple working on over-the-air updates for Iowa spy which is cool because everybody else can do it instead of Apple but then again things aren't that easy first of all iOS updates take more than 500 megabytes so apples not going to do that through 3g they'll most likely use Wi-Fi which is not cool because it totally defeats the purpose of having an over-the-air update you can have to do it on a hotspot or home and it's going to take a year for that to happen if you are moving around so why not just use the pc and then well second of all Apple could probably be considering you know just giving you fragments of updates to what requires an update which can make the OS bigger and taking storage away from your device and then again also think about it backups happen over the PC rumors have it that Apple is not going to be bringing these backups over-the-air so it's not going to be an easy update if things go wrong you're gonna have to go look for your pc to get things working so we're getting close to the not-so-cool section so things are making sense right lepus it for the coolest continue on with the not so cool if you're with us on the list of people that are waiting for Apple to release a next-generation iphone in june or july well thanks for getting kind of rocky in the past well we have heard a lot of rumors but we were still waiting for confirmation now an ATT representative told a customer over the phone that they do have confirmation that apple will be pushing the device to later not june july it could be September for the ipod event but again bad news not really sure what to expect and well as funny as it may sound the current debate out there is whether the white iphone is thicker than the black iphone and well a ruler says that it is thicker Consumer Reports says that it is thicker but then comes Phillips sugar and says that it's not that people are elucidating now first of all find something better to the beta fill I mean if a ruler and Consumer Reports says that it is thicker just accepted buddy you told everybody that took so much for you to build the iphone it made sense for it to be thicker so why make it any worse with news anyways that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm high Meadow be leather armor to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
