When you say Apple most people think about iPhone. iPhone is one of the most popular mobile phones available on the market. Now Apple has put out a new version of the iPhone called the iPhone 4. With this new version of the iPhone there are new and exciting features now available. This is on top of the great features from past versions of the iPhone. It is been described by many users as the best thing to happen to the iPhone.
Apple has added many new and exciting features to the iPhone 4 to make it stand out in the mobile phone market. One of these new and exciting features is that this mobile phone comes with two cameras, giving you two different views. The iPhone 4 had a camera on the front that will see you and then one of the back that will focus on everything else. Another great feature on the iPhone 4 is the retina display giving you the sharpest and highest resolution phone screen ever. Some of the other features include multitasking, HD video recording and editing, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and folders to organize your apps. The iPhone 4 comes in either black or white and can be found on phones4u.

The iPhone has many different types of accessories available to make the use of the iPhone more enjoyable and also to protect the iPhone itself. Some of the accessories are expensive, like the home docks, and some of the accessories are cheap as chips. One of these inexpensive iPhone accessories is the iAngle.

The iAngle is designed to do two different things. One of them is that it is made to store your earbuds so that they don’t get tangled in a bag or purse. The other function of the iAngle is to hold your iPhone or iPod up so that it makes video viewing easier. This accessory is something so simple and perfect for those who travel because it fits perfecting just about anywhere without taking up much room. Long road trips are easier with the iAngle because you can use your iPhone and still be hands free to check maps or watch movies. Never again will you spend minutes to hours trying to untangle your earbuds or have to hold your iPhone to watch movies. The iAngle will only set you back $10.

With an improvement of 50% on the same quarter last year Apple profits are confounding the critics and looking extremely healthy. They just made a profit of $3.37 billion in the last quarter. This is largely down to the Mac and iPhone with iPod sales apparently dropping off. Apple is now a $50 billion company and they’re set to announce a new product on Wednesday. Speculation suggests we can expect a tablet computer with all sorts of functionality but we’ll have to wait and see.

It seems the months leading up to Christmas were the best ever for Apple and their products, especially the iPhone are proving highly desirable. Perhaps more surprisingly Mac sales have been rocketing as well with many first time Mac buyers entering the market. Thanks to clever design and quality products Apple have gone from strength to strength and managed to continue to sell their products at a premium based on that design even although you can often find cheaper alternatives with greater functionality.

A name long synonymous with cameras and photography, Kodak may have struggled in recent years with the move to digital. On Friday it was announced that they would be suing Apple and Research in Motion because they allege that the iPhone and Blackberry use technology to preview pictures which is a direct infringement on Kodak patents. A Kodak spokesperson said they had been discussing the issue with the two companies for years now but could not come to an amicable solution and so they have asked the ITC to ban both companies from shipping phones until the damages are settled.

Kodak already won cases like this against Samsung and Sun Microsystems and they are engaged in a dispute with Nokia. Apple and Nokia have also been having their own running dispute each claiming the other has infringed their patents. These cases are potentially worth millions but they are generally settled out of court.

You may not have heard of Lala.com because they’ve been snapped up by Apple not long after starting up. The company was threatening to break the dominance of the MP3 market with a new piece of software which allows you to stream songs instead of having to download them. Users are able to buy the right to stream songs on their iPhones from a digital locker for a limited period for only 10 cents per song. It offers 8 million tracks in total whereas iTunes offers 11 million. It is thought that iTunes account for around 70% of all online digital music sales.

The quality is definitely lower than the tracks being sold on Apple’s iTunes but they play within seconds and are being offered at a much cheaper price. Apple bought the company, who originally launched in 2006, for an undisclosed fee. An Apple spokesman said “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time and we generally do not comment on our purpose or plans,” It could be that a new streaming service will be added to iTunes in due course.

There is a federal inquiry into Apple’s decision not to approve Google Voice for use on the iPhone or for sale through their App Store. It is a VoIP application which would allow voice calls to be routed over the mobile internet. This technology works on phones using Google’s Android OS and Symbian but Apple have pulled applications which use it. Apple and AT&T admitted striking a deal to prevent iPhone apps using their network for VoIP. This is obviously an attempt to protect profits because voice calls over the internet are cheaper.

Apple have now backtracked and said the application is not rejected but still “under review”. The thing is apps like Skype have already been approved and Apple’s assertion that the Google Voice app could “alter the iPhone’s distinctive user experience” sounds very woolly indeed. The difference is that Skype uses Wi-Fi whereas the Google app connects to the internet via the AT&T 3G network. AT&T denied having a hand in the decision. The argument continues.

Apple iMac never ceases to impress the buying public with their quality products. I was an avid Windows fan until I came across the Apple iMac 24″. The Apple iMac 24″ has a whooping Intel Core Duo processor that clocks up to 3.0 Ghz it also has built-in RAM of 2GB-4GB and a hard drive size of up to 320 GB, talk about space!

The latest Apple iMac 24″ offers far more powerful specs and features compared to it’s predecessors but at a slightly different price. It is now available from your local computer stores with a price set at between $1,649.99 to $1,828.15.  If you are looking for more room, a wider screen, and hi-powered specs the Apple iMac 24″ is the way to go.

Ordering room service using an iPhone or an iPod Touch is one the most interesting things I’ve heard regarding Apple’s products. Apparently Malibu Beach Inn is trying to attract people that are in love with their touchscreens and won’t let go of the fancy brick, no matter what.

The hotel has a web application built for the Safari Browser, that allows all iPhone/iPod Touch users to access remote capabilities like room service, setting a wake up call, requesting luggage, renting a limo and flipping the door placard to “Do Not Disturb”. Does that mean that geeks are lazy or is it just a nice way of saying we love you Apple freaks, come stay at our hotel for a couple of nighs to play with the system. Not sure if any geek will afford something like the Malibu Beach Inn though.

During the Apple event today, not only the new aluminum MacBook Pro got people’s attention. A new 24-inch LED Cinema Display has been announced, too. The new display does 1920×1200 pixels with 16.7 million colors, has a metallic edge and a glass-fronted glossy screen that makes it look similar with the current line of iMacs. Which if you ask me, it’s a great thing.

The new 24-inch LED Cinema Display from Apple is going to feature an iSight camera, built-in microphone with built-in stereo speakers, LED backlighting and has USB connectivity (3port USB 2.0 hub). It’s  mercury-free and meets the latest ENERGY STAR requirements, which somehow … makes it eco-friendly. Wait for it in November for $899, if you like it. – via Electronista

iPhone 3G has gained the buzz that Apple was looking for. Every press release or online article praised its qualities, features and price. Regarding myself, I had been a big fan before the iPhone launched, but I must tell you I changed my opinion as I used it. The same negative opinions have appeared recently regarding the latest iPhone version, the 3G.

People complain about its slow data speeds, weak signal or lack of enterprise features. That doesn’t sound good for Apple’s business, but it seems the praises were left out. Most of the users showed disappointment in iPhone’s data connections. The blame cannot be put only on iPhone’s weakness, but also to carriers. For example the data speeds vary from network to network – T-mobile of Germany has the highest rates, while a carrier in Australia provides the lowest speeds.

Another issue pointed out by 3G iPhone users is the call dropping problem. It appears to be an intern problem, as the 2.02 firmware update has solved it. In addition, the users that didn’t experienced such a problem have encountered another – the weak signal inside buildings. That trouble was allegedly caused by a faulty chip set supplied by mobile chipmaker Infineon Technologie.

The bad experiences continue with outages in MobileMe service and iTunes incompatibility. In the same list users included the third party applications sold over AppStore that created glitches and dissatisfaction.

An overall opinion makes you think twice before purchasing an iPhone. From the most precious mobile of our time it has fallen in disgrace.
