After so much speculation and countless rumors iPad is finally launched by Apple. Well by the looks of it any once can tell its a giant iPhone with some cool extra features. We will get to know the more details later and I will update the same.

Steve Jobs is showcasing its qualities one by one as of now, I am keeping tab of it :) . Lets just hope he announces some world wide release date so that we can know when its coming in India.

Walt Mossberg just did a Palm Pre review and while comparing Palm Pre with iPhone he mentioned that upcoming iPhone will be having lots of new features which could give Palm Pre a stiff competition. But he didn’t mention whether it was related to hardware features or just for the new iPhone 3.0 OS. He also added that new iPhone will probably be available in about a month.

Considering these words are coming from Walt Mossberg, I can assure that they are indirectly Apple’s official internal news :-) .

You can read the full review at the link.

If rumors are true then Apple might be getting ready to allow movie and TV programmes on iPhone through iTunes. Atleast it looks like from the snapshot which were leaked by an anonymous source.


From ArsTechnica :

The screenshots, posted by Kwame Jones and supposedly sourced from an anonymous “geeky friend,” show a toolbar for accessing a list of featured TV shows, movies, and music videos. It also shows places to add artwork for featured movies and TV shows. A progression of UI details added throughout the day suggests the feature is still being developed by iTunes Store developers.

Well this was waiting to happen, mobile tv is next big thing so why Apple should stay behind as they are having everything to make it possible :-) .

Finally Apple opened its card on the Push notification services on iPhone and it giving the registered iPhone developers Associated Press app to test out the Push Notification.

Apple To Buy Twitter?


Twitter is one of the hottest property in the Internet world and its been chased by big corporations like Microsoft, Google, Facebook. But now we have a new player bidding for Twitter and its Apple, who as reported by valleywag is in pretty serious talks with Twitter to close the deal for around $700 million.

A source who’s plugged into the Valley’s deal scene and has been recruited by Apple for a senior position says Apple and Twitter are in serious negotiations, with the goal of unveiling a deal by June 8,
when Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference launches in San Jose.

So iPhone owners should be happy with the Apple acquiring Twitter? Well to be honest I am not sure what Apple is thinking of doing with Twitter as only connection which can be seen between Apple and Twitter is that iTunes App Store is clogged with best selling twitter apps.

Lets see how this story/rumors develops and we will let you when more details comes out.
