pocketnow's Weekly iReview 09Jan11

2011-01-09
we're just two days away from the possible verizon iphone event rumors of a new iphone antenna design are out in the blue and some more iphone 4 blood seem to be servicing all this and more coming up right now hello everybody I'm high metal iveta 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 let's start off this week with the cool Verizon's inviting everybody to attend the federate Pete Rose Hall in New York City's lincoln center on Tuesday January 11 2011 at 11am yes a lot of 11 s there to talk more about wireless stuff now our biggest bet is that this has to be the verizon iphone launch which has also been confirmed at the Wall Street Journal now our biggest fete is that since this is not going to be an apple event then this won't be really a change or a significant change to the iphone four given Apple really does all the significant lunges and all the carrier variants have not really seen Apple pressence so we'll see what happens in the envelope not really sure this will just be a verizon iphone 4 or if it will be called the verizon iphone and just that or it could probably be the iphone 5 or the verizon iphone v having the V stand for 5 in Roman numerals so we'll see what happens in the end now a video and some images have surfaced of a new antenna design that will probably see in the next generation iphone the changes are not really significant just as we'd expect that the next generation iphone won't really change much from the current one and we just see that the black marks of the antenna have moved from one side to the next we really don't know if this new antenna design will be better or if it will not bring any antenna gate issues yet but then again it seems that Apple is really working on it so we'll see what happens in the end we'll probably see these changes coming up in June but we're not sure we'll actually see these antenna designs coming into the verizon iphone so stay tuned now I've set it in the past jailbreakers have all the fun now this time they figured out how to get the Android project to bring gingerbread android 2.3 to work on the iphone 3g of you have a jailbroken sadly this will only work on the older model so if you still keep it you could probably just use it to port android now in my case I would love to see i phone 4 with gingerbread or honeycomb in the future I would consider that to be the perfect smartphone in my personal opinion but again that will be my personal opinion if you're still interested in the iphone 3gs as a budget device or probably just to give it to one of your kids or something you'll be happy to know that AT&T now has it at $29 after the two-year contract if you go buy it now call this the latest way to compete to people not leaving a TNT to go to verizon for the iphone yeah it is but again it's a budget device and it's still working on the new iOS releases so go get it if you're still interested okay one of the cool things about ces probably the only one we actually saw that had iphone mentioned on it was having rough de la Vega say that they'll be offering a you know LTE iphone asif next year which would be 2012 now we're getting really close to the not-so-cool section and i actually intended to leave this last because why do we have to wait so long i mean why didn't we get the LTE version of the iphone right here on june as we usually expect so i guess we'll call this one the iphone 4s and for speed probably dual-core we never know and probably just wait for the iphone 4g you know in 2012 that does it for the coolest continue on with the not-so-cool the VLC media players one of the favorite media players out there because it'll have different formats work on your iPhone suddenly it got pulled from the app store because it seems that their general public license has some sort of infringement with the App Store something we actually knew a couple of months back but you know if you downloaded the application will still work but if you're interested in getting it you'll sadly not be able to we really don't know what to expect not really sure if it'll be out there in the future given that it happened mostly close to the same with google voice in the past we could expect it to be back soon or again you could just jailbreak your device and get it you know easily and while some iOS bugs have surfaced apparently we have reports of people complaining of you know the software keyboard giving them issues when they're typing and apparently they're getting different letters to what they were intending to type other people have been complaining about the home button not working sometimes other times it seems that they double tap for multitasking or when their phone is locked and they want to pull up the music controls and it's not working I've had that specific bug happened to me and the way I solved that was by resetting the device so our advice is to reset your device for now as soon as waiting for Apple to get it solved with some software update not really sure when that will be though and while a woman made news recently because she apparently got fired for being late and her excuse for being late was that her iOS ilan did not wake her up remember that bug that's been happening and well we read a lot of your comments and we do understand that it's really hard for people to get fired just because they're late once and yeah we're in high season of sales so a lot of companies are skeptical about employees being late and there's just pretty much firing people that's another option but then again it's really sad to see somebody lose their job in this economy and again you know first of all go to radioshack and get a physical alarm clock for now because steve-o we really need for you to figure that one out man that's it for this week's show thank you very much for watching remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
