the iphone makes sense unlock the view in the u.s. rumors of apple ditching the ipod touch for cheaper iphone begin to make sense and you guessed it iOS 5 beta already got jailbroken all this and more coming up right now hello everybody I'm hi everyone and welcome to the pocket 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 my apologies it's currently pouring outside so sounds not going to be at its best but let's start off with the cool apple continues there one device world domination strategy as they've just released the GSM flavor iphone 4 as an unlocked device on the US Apple stores what this means is that the device will not be carrier subsidize it will be completely unlock you can use it on any gsm carrier in the united states or worldwide so well sadly that's not necessarily good news because it's not going to be on a subsidy it will cost you six hundred fifty bucks if you want the 16 gigabyte model and 750 bucks if you want the 32 gigabyte model you can both get that in black or white but again it's a good option for those people that don't want to be locked into a contract for two years or that just need the device to be traveling abroad and using the same phone just swapping the SIM cards and not paying those huge roaming fees so it's a good option again you're not obligated to pay that much amount of money just go for the device subsidized on AT&T or verizon if you don't want to pay that much amount of money so kind of cool i'm not even sure if this fits the rumor category but people are already assuming that apple will ditch the ipod touch in this next September's moosic event for a cheaper iPhone 4s or five whatever they want to call it why does it makes sense well first of all I cloud and I message I mean what's the point of Apple having cloud-based services that will not be available to their devices when their mobile I mean devices are getting cheaper manufacturing is getting cheaper so it does make sense for Apple to try to figure out how to get a cheaper device into the market but then it'll be conflicting with current iPad prices and current iPod Touch prices so the smartest thing is for Apple to figure out how to converge their product lines and try to bring just one device that'll be easier to manufacture if you only have one device and that device could be as cheap as to probably offer good options for people to go for a cheaper device hey they could probably even figure out how to bring the ipad 3g data plans to work on this device and have a data only iphone sort of device or they could probably just figure out how to bring cheaper data plans but again rumors have it that we won't see an ipod touch and we will continue talking in the not-so-cool section of things that are going on around that makes sense because not even iOS 5 hints to a next generation ipod touch it could happen and while you guess that it only took the death team a couple of days for them to get a copy of iowa's 5 beta obviously they're developers and well they figured out how to already jailbreak it it's currently a tethered jailbreak and obviously it's only available to those people that have access to the beta which are only developers currently or people that have access to the developer plan because they have a friend that's a developer and they got it seated but again it's already jailbroken currently only tethered not really sure when we're going to get it untethered nor are we sure if it's going to be untethered for iOS 5 I really can answer any questions right now but we are expecting the services to work really well for whenever it's released in the fall so let's see what happens on a funny note a Simcoe just brought a study out showing that Apple currently has so much cash available they could pretty much by their whole competition at once they have 70 billion dollars available in cash to do whatever they want and we have competitors like Nokia that cost 22 billion room that costs 13 billion right now with all their stock drop and we have HTC that's around 23 billion also and you know we have samsung and the others but again that's just to show how Apple is becoming a success in you know a lot of people are really skeptical about why Apple decides to keep all that cash you not do something about it it seems that no financially that's not really a nice idea but again they do have the money to buy everybody and then we have Microsoft buying skype for crazy amounts and not Apple you that's the kind of weird part well address it for the cool let's continue on with it not so cool apple just got a dose of their own medicine because they lost the lawsuit against nokia they have to pay a lot of money to nokia for certain patterns that apple used on the iphone now that we're happy about it you know its first of all why do you guys see each other but again Apple this is just a show you should stop suing everybody I mean these people eventually will come back to you bite you and win apples back to school sale is already in and well it's the lamest one ever in the past if you bought a mac you got a discounted price and you also did get a free ipod touch for a value of two hundred thirty bucks which is really good but currently all you get is a hundred dollar gift card to the App Store now the question is I mean what's up with that it's a 232 100 I mean doesn't really match I mean what's wrong Apple you're making lots of money and you're giving people crazy ugly giveaways I mean now remember that we talked about the fact that Apple may be ditching the ipod touch so again remember that I told you I talked about that in the not-so-cool section well it could be that that's the reason why we're not getting it so let's see what happens in the fall now apple's WWDC event was sadly not all about innovation did any of you know that a developer called greg hughes at some point submitted an app called Wi-Fi sync to enable you to sync wirelessly to itunes and well the app got rejected now the weird thing is that apple just released a service called Wi-Fi sync hmm strong resemblance and wait it does exactly the same thing it syncs over Wi-Fi to iTunes and wait a second apple also use the same icon that the developer that submitted the app used and they rejected his app and they're not paying them any money I mean what's up with that Apple that's terrible terrible terrible anyways that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm Hyneman ivetta remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now hmm
