skype now offering video calls on iOS devices for ice and buying iphone domains just for the fun of it in our predictions on what Apple might bring to the iPhone on 2011 all this and more coming up right now hello everybody I'm hi Madame Yvette and welcome to the pocket nail 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 first of all happy new year and to start this week off we'll have the cool segments the not-so-cool segment and our predictions on 2011 for iOS devices and well following Yahoo's recent video chatting options skype finally rolls out an update to their iOS application that allows you to have video callings over the iphone 4 and it also works with the iphone 3gs is backward camera really don't know why the iphone 3g is not included in the list apparently but it's not working so it also works with Wi-Fi and 3g and you can also chat between pcs macs and iphones really great changes for the new skype iOS application whoa verizon iphone rumors get stronger as we have stores pulling up lineups of stuff there specific to the verizon iphone meaning that we'll probably see a variant of the iphone that's totally different to what we see on a tnt coming to verizon really don't know what to expect out of that but also we have verizon buying domains like verizon iphone calm that are specific to iphone and verizon so it's really cool we still don't know a release date some of us have been assuming that it will be you know on CES or probably a day or two before CES given you know CS is just around the corner probably just to pull the rug off you know the renew releases of Android and Windows Phone that we could probably expect on CES so we'll see what happens in the end and well-read snows recent update finally brings us untethered jailbreak to the iphone 4 even though things are a bit rocky because things are still in beta we still don't know what to expect from the dev team given you know things have not been really nice up there but finally it's out there we're still waiting for the carrier unlock feature to be out there somewhere sometime someplace for some people like us that are really dying to get our phones unlocked we'll see what happens that does it for the cool let's continue on with the not so cool it seems there's an iOS bug that's out there that hasn't woken people up on january first and it seems that it will happen to everybody on non-recurring alarms from here up until january third don't know what's going on with iOS really sad and lame and it's just a really ugly wake-up call sort of for you know proms and trusting apple recently with their updates and well according to a CNN report the iphone 4s antennagate issues have made the top of the list of the worst technology fail of 2010 you know i'd say they're probably right i'd say that definitely antennagate was bad you know i just feel that it's not that bad considering not everybody had the issue and then again we could probably also add the kin to the list you know what i mean and while that does it for the uncool let's continue on with our predictions for 2011 on the iOS and iPhone lineup first of all with hardware we do see a 64 gigabyte or a 128 gigabyte or whatever iPhone coming out and yeah I'm one of the people that cannot live with 32 gigs even though Brandon always asked why we do see changes in hardware coming to the design probably they could bring in aluminum aura I don't know stainless steel version of the iPhone or they could just stick with the glass on glass I mean glass gate is a problem that I see everybody could have just as all phone scratch it's just something that happens we do see a gray iPhone somewhere in the future though I really don't know what to make of it given Apple hasn't really been able to bring out the white iphone to sale and yet you know Apple love simplicity so we do see a city ma iphone or an LTE iphone that is also compliant with gsm terms somewhere and we also do see Apple bringing an overclocking to the a4 chip or probably an a5 chip that could do also dual core processing we'll see what happens there now we go on to the software portion of iOS 5 or iOS four points something we do see Apple bringing the new user interface somewhere you know I'm one of the people that see that the whole search side at the left is something that Apple could probably use for something else but probably they'll offer some sort of new locking screen options probably skin something totally different but we'll see you know it's Apple and they love their UI and well we do see 1080p video recording come in somewhere though we don't really know what to expect on you know backwards compatibility with the iphone 4 or any other older versions of the iphone we also see Apple figuring out how to mix the iphone into more of the Apple ecosystem like making it work much better with the Apple TV working on airplay and stuff like that we also see Apple working on their front facing video camera options and offering more things like probably you know facial recognition for I don't know unlocking your phone and probably using that same facial recognition technology to work with their photos application also and well finally we see Apple working on their mobile me you know probably they could leave it with the price tag but figure out how to offer iTunes streaming services through people that have subscribed to mobileme so again we'll see what happens we don't see Apple changing the iphone 4 name to iphone 5 we see Apple keeping the iphone 4 and just offering something different like iphone 4s for speed considering the k'tralli bring the dual core processing I probably just work on the iOS to make it you know work faster and just work better than it currently does because even if you have an iPhone 4 we do see some sluggishness every now and then with you know lots of applications working out there so we'll see what happens with Apple in the 2011-12 our predictions and what you would like to see for Apple to bring in 2011 that's it for today's I review thank you very much for watching remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
