iOS 4.3 beta 2 is out with some weird multi-touch gestures for your iphone verizon to offer rebates for some who perches the iphone 4 and a Steve Jobs steps down for another medical leave what we expect for the next generation our iphone all this and more coming up right now hello everybody I'm hi Madame 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 this week off with the cool well iOS 4.3 beta 2 is out and you guessed it just as we talked in the past I review we do get multi-touch gestures on your iPhone hopefully this is still a beta and it's still a demo and rumors are that we won't really see it come out on the next generation release for the OS though even though it may be a little you know complicated for hands like mine to be able to handle four finger multi-touch gestures on a small screen it does become really cool to have the options so we'll see what Apple chooses to do in the end and while aside from the gestures other new features that will probably come to iOS 4.3 is native cropping or should we say a better way to crop images and also the possibility to finally rotate your images in a you know simple way we're really not sure if this will also make the release but you know this is something really overdue so hopefully we'll see it come out now rumors are that iOS 4.3 beta 2 also hands into features we could expect on the next generation iphone and not necessarily the next generation OS these features have to do with improved media streaming services to what we get with airplay and also improve services that will allow you to stream images now the cool thing is apparently the service will allow you to stream images and video between the vices meaning between users not necessarily other things like a TV or the Apple TV if this becomes mainstream then we could expect the ability to be able to take an image right now and stream it to different devices or different users in our network now the problem is it seems that this feature will be stuck to mobileme users so yeah we'll probably have to pay for it but again these are only beta rumors so let's see what happens in the end now if you recently got stuck to a contract with verizon meaning you bought a smartphone between november 26 2010 and january 10 2011 you'll be happy to know that verizon will be offering a debit card for two hundred dollars if you purchase a verizon iphone 4 at full retail price now remember full retail price means a six hundred and something dollars for the 16 gigabyte model 750 and over for the 32 gigabyte model still not cheap but then again it's a cheaper way to get your hands on a new verizon iphone 4 if you really want one so anyways and well jailbreakers keep having fun a new feature in cydia now allows you to record the applications that you've downloaded in the past all you have to do is log on to cydia with your google account or your facebook account and you just have to hit manage from now on and it will remember all the applications and packages you've downloaded onto your iOS device so why is this cool well in the past if you have to upgrade to a new version of iOS you pretty much have to lose everything you did with Cydia so from now on all you have to do is upgrade log aren't the city and you'll be able to download the packages you had already downloaded in the past and not as I shall we have to look for them again so new features coming in really cool well that does it for the coolest continue on with the not so cool Steve Jobs steps down for another medical leave and our opinion is that we should be concerned both about his health and also about apples future if he doesn't return sadly if you remember back with the release of the iphone 3gs there really wasn't much of a difference between the iphone 3gs and the 3g hardware really wasn't revamped that much and it did have changes internally but then again the outer portion of the device remained pretty much the same so I do hope this is not the trend for apple with the next generation iphone though we could expect it to be true steve-o we do hope you get back soon we do hope your health is better we do hope to see you back you are the iconic figure that has Apple where it is and it has provided the vision of all the multiple gadgets we do enjoy so yeah we do hope you get better soon and well Apple's new thing seems to be tamper resistant screws yeah from pentalobe to some really weird holes and slabs of metal it seems that Apple doesn't want you to tamper with your device now yeah well expect it to be a lot more expensive for you to fix your device if something goes wrong and while you live in the United States or in countries where genius bar is awkward then you do have an easy solution if something goes wrong but if your iPhone Falls and something you know falls out of place you'll be set to know that it won't be that cheap for you to fix your phone from here on anyways and well-paying the long-lost flop from 2010 now offers push notifications for user activity which is actually really cool considering the fact that pain didn't really have a way of letting you know something new happen with one of your artists now then again if we really cared about pain to start with we could find this feature to be useful but since we don't uh you know that's it for today'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 I
