Pocketnow's Weekly iReview - 15May11

2011-05-15
Apple keeps breaking records this time the gheyness type rumors have the iphone for meeting some manufacturing delays the second quarter and it seems Apple is preparing their retail stores for something big in the next couple of weeks all this and more coming up right now hello everybody I'm Jaime metal yvette and welcome to the pocket now I reveal the show we go through all this with school and the not so cool inside the world of Apple's iOS devices let's start this week off with the cool now Apple's post-pc blockbuster story continues as they break more records this time they made the 2011 gaming edition of the Guinness Book of World Records for having the highest portable gaming console sold in history if you compare it they sold 1.5 million iphone 4s in the same period that Sony only sold two hundred thousand PSPs the iOS App Store also broke three records including having the most games offered for portable game console and even though these games aren't all groundbreaking well even angry birds broke a record so kind of cool more rumors of the next-generation iphone make the scene this time it seems that the device will not be called the iphone 5 but the iphone 4s which makes all the sense in the world if you consider that Apple most probably won't bring 4G until next year so the next year's device will be called a 4g or 4GS aside from that well it seems that the device will bring support for all US carriers meaning Sprint and t-mobile customers will also get an iphone probably in September probably in June not sure what to make of it and then aside from that well one of the weird rumors is that the camera sensors for the next generation iphone have apparently also made the scene and it seems that they are going to be moved it seems that the LED flash is going to be on one side and the camera is going to be on the other which not sure which aesthetically looks better but as long as they get rid of all that yellow I thriller effect that we get on iOS pictures I don't care where they put them we're still not sure what to make of apple's WWDC event that's happening on jun 6 in San Francisco but anything can happen rumors have it we won't get a next-generation iphone and only iOS and Mac OS updates but apple's holding a meeting with the retail employees on mate 28th which is only a week before WWDC and we're still not sure what they're going to talk about apples retail stores have been the tool that's made all their post-pc blockbusters be total hits so we're hoping that we do get a next-generation iphone or at least something big now will it be that Apple will talk with their genius bar employees about iOS 5 and iCloud could it be that Apple will talk about the next-generation iphone working for sprint and t-mobile anything can happen we just hope it's not going to be a meeting to celebrate the employees of the month and while out of the cool changes in iOS applications Netflix just brought an update that includes subtitles for movies and shows sadly it's only in English for now but at least they're working on it because sadly not all their movies and shows include them let's hope they bring that in Spanish Portuguese and just about everything else except english if the movies are already in english but at least they're working on it well aside from that while we all know that Bungie kind of followed the vorsh with Microsoft and everything seems to be haloing towards iOS not sure if we are going to get Halo or not but rumors are that Bungie is working on this game called crimson which is going to be really cool no details on that no release dates but it's hopefully happening levis are for the Coulomb let's continue on with the not-so-cool and hey for those of you that complain that we don't have enough not so cool news trust me we try but it's kind of difficult not everything is not so cool in the Iowa swirled but anyways Asians recent catastrophe has been tragic though it really hasn't brought many problems to us gadget manufacturers at least yet but digit times is reporting that it seems that Foxconn is having trouble being able to meet the Vans in both material and labor for the iphone four manufacturing process nothing's yet confirmed but it seems that we will have issues as of the second quarter of this year so if you are planning on getting a next-generation iphone our current generation iphone for our advice to you is move quick because things could change in the next couple of months on a sad note i flow reader software developer is closing down and guess why because of apple's thirty percent cut / app store and app purchases sad news though well it does makes all the sense in the world for Apple to make a little money over anything that's sold inside their territory it's just a bit difficult to see things work where thirty percent doesn't make sense in just about every digital content that's sold for example books not sure what Apple is going to do about it sadly it's only one developer for now but we do hope that Apple reconsiders their policy kinda lame Google's recent IO oven but a lot of hardcore competition to Apple starting with their android ice cream sandwich OS released to their google music beta which beat Apple to any sort of itunes in the cloud project we're still not getting though well we do love competition it does raise the bar to grow technology into higher places though you'd ask why is this a not so cool section well it is because of this slide it's kind of lame I do hope Google puts their money with their mouth is because June is still around the corner and we're still not sure what Apple is going to bring to compete let's see that's a thursday show thank you very much for watching i'm high Meadow you better remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now you
