  • Apple Won’t Be Launching The iPhone 5 In September Afterall, New Report Suggest October Release

    There has been a lot of contradiction as far as the iPhone 5′s (4S, 4GS or whatever it’s gonna be called) release date is concerned. We’ve narrowed it down to the months of September or October.

    AllThingD quoted a source which knows highly about Apple’s plans.

    “I don’t know why AT&T’s calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it’s not for an iPhone launch,” a source familiar with Apple’s plans said.

    So when can we expect the company to uncrate the iPhone 5?

    “October,” the source said, while declining to offer a hard-launch date. Other sources said it will be later in the month, rather than earlier.

    The source failed to provide any details about the next iPhone’s design or internals but we’ve come to know from the supply chain that the phone will feature the iPad’s dual core A5 processor, a dual GSM/CDMA baseband radio and a 8MP camera will supposedly 1080p video recording.

    With the iPhone 5 release just around the corner,  the iPhone rumor mill is in full swing these days, just a few days ago an alleged photo of the iPhone 5 was released into the wild, which looked something like an iPhone 4 slim rather than the iPhone 5. The image was discredited, however here is a mockup based on that image.

  • New Counter-Strike Game Announced, Coming Soon To PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac

    The rumors swirling around the internet were true after all. Valve has announced Counter-Strike Global Offensive for PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac. This new game will be released on PC on Steam while Xbox 360 and PS3 will get it on XBLA and PSN. The release date hasn’t been specified yet but an early 2012 date was given by Valve.

    Counter-Strike is a popular game which wasn’t originally a full fledged game but just a sort of mod of the original Half-Life for PC. It became the most played online PC game in 1999 and is still popular today despite showing its age now.

    This recent Counter-Strike news will cheer a lot of the die-hard Counter-Strike fans and considering the fact that it is made available on almost every mainstream gaming platform these days, it will surely be a treat. You can read the full press release below.

    VALVE ANNOUNCES COUNTER-STRIKE: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE (CS: GO)

    Next Gen Console, PC, and Mac Release Targeted for Early 2012

    August 13, 2011 – Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO).
    Targeted for release via Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam (for PC and Mac) in early 2012, CS: GO will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched exactly 12 years ago (CS beta 1, August 1999).
    CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.
    “Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999,” said Doug Lombard, VP of Marketing at Valve. “For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS’ award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac.”
    CS: GO is being developed by Valve in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment. The title is targeted for release in early 2012 and will be playable at this year’s PAX Prime and London Games Festival.

  • Windows Phone 7 Mango Blows All Other Phones Out Of The Water In HTML5 Browser Tests

    Ever since Microsoft announced Mango for their Windows Phone 7 platform they have been focusing on the OS’s exceptional HTML5 performance leaving behind the likes of Android, iOS and BlackBerry OS.

    So Microsoft gave us another demo at the Worldwide Partners Conference (WPC) earlier this week where an HTC Mango handset went against the Samsung Droid Charge, BlackBerry Torch and an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS 5 BETA 3. The demo on display was called ‘Fish’ where 3D fishes were being rendered onto an ocean background.

    As you could see in the video the Charge managed to pull 20fps, the Torch did 9fps, iPhone 4 managed to do around 15fps while the HTC managed a blazing fast 50fps! Now that’s what you call owning the crowd.

  • Wondering What’s New In iOS 5 BETA 5? Read The Full Changelog Here

    Apple released iOS 5 BETA 5 on their developer channel almost an hour ago and we’ve gotten our hands on the full changelog, check it out after the break.

    Accounts

    • When creating an iCloud account, you can use any Apple ID as long as it is a full email address and not a MobileMe account. If you have a MobileMe account, you can move that account to iCloud. You can find more information on iCloud at: http://developer.apple.com/icloud
    • When setting up an iCloud or MobileMe account using the setup assistant and leaving Find My iPhone on, it might actually turn Find my iPhone off after the setup. Please verify in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar/YourAccount that Find my iPhone is toggled On after leaving the setup assistant.
    • NEW: Enabling iCloud services in Setup Assistant may not always be saved correctly. After completing Setup Assistant you should visit Settings > iCloud to verify the state of the iCloud account. If you have multiple iCloud or MobileMe accounts configured on the device you should also visit each of those accounts in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar to verify each account.
    • It is recommended that you disable Bookmarks on multiple accounts. If they are enabled, the results might be undefined.

    AirPlay

    • Starting in iOS 5, video content in applications and websites are AirPlay-enabled by default.
    • iOS 5 supports AirPlay of video via AV Foundation.

    Apple TV

    • Apple TV Software beta enables users to mirror the contents of an iPad 2 to an Apple TV (2nd generation) using AirPlay. This beta software also enables Photo Stream on Apple TV so users can access photos stored in iCloud. Apple TV Software beta is being provided to test the latest AirPlay functionality with your iOS 5 apps and web sites. If you wish to install Apple TV Software beta on your device, you must first register your device UDID in the iOS Developer Program Portal.

    Calendar

    • Birthday calendars are not currently available via the icloud.com website or in Windows. They will be available in a future release.
    • NEW: The default calendar is still the On My iPhone calendar despite setting up an iCloud account during Setup Assistant. As a workaround, reset the default Calendar after finishing Setup Assistant in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Default Calendar.
    • NEW: Pushing iCloud Calendar data is not working in iOS. To sync your iCloud Calendar, launch the Calendar app or refresh the calendars manually using the Calendars button in the top left corner.

    GameKit

    • Match data for turn based matches is currently limited to 4 KB of data.
    • NEW: When logging in to Game Center, the password may clear and login may not complete. Trying a second time will succeed.
    • NEW: In this beta, GameKit Invites may fail. As a workaround, try restarting the device.

    iBooks

    • iBooks 1.2.2 may fail to display some text or images in books. Please update to iBooks 1.3 in the App Store.

    iCloud Backup

    • As this is beta software, it is recommended that you do not use the iCloud services to store any critical data or information. If you enable iCloud Backup, automatic backup with iTunes when syncing will be disabled. We also suggest that you manually back up your device with iTunes. Backups made with earlier versions of iOS 5 beta will soon become incompatible, and will no longer be available. It is strongly advised you upgrade to this version of the iOS 5 beta in order to continue backing up your devices. If you encounter errors restoring from a backup, or enabling a backup more than one hour after signing into iCloud, try deleting your iCloud account from Settings and adding it back. If errors persist, please try erasing your device and initiating the restore again.

    iCloud Storage

    • During the iOS 5 beta period, any documents stored on the servers might be purged periodically before GM. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you do not store any critical documents or information on the servers.
    • NEW: Provisioning Profiles no longer need to be enabled for iCloud in the iOS Provisioning Portal. All newly generated provisioning profiles are now automatically enabled for iCloud. If you are using an Xcode managed Team Provisioning Profile, click refresh in the Xcode Organizer to obtain a new iCloud-enabled profile. To enable all other provisioning profiles for iCloud, simply regenerate your profiles in the iOS Provisioning Portal.
    • If your application is using the NSMetadataQuery class, you must set a predicate, even though the predicate itself is ignored.
    • In this beta, the setSortDescriptors: method of NSMetadataQuery is not supported.
    • FIXED: To use iCloud prior to beta 5, you had to manually specify various container identifiers (your application’s Display set) within an Entitlements file for both of your Mac OS X and iOS projects.Starting in beta 5, to enable iCloud storage within your apps, simply click the “Enable Entitlements” checkbox in the Summary pane of your project. Xcode will create a custom entitlements file for your project that automatically includes your Team ID. You can add additional iCloud Container values as required by your application. (Note that you must regenerate your existing provisioning profiles, either with Xcode or in the iOS Provisioning Portal, to use iCloud storage.)If you specify a custom identifier string for your iCloud Key-Value Store or iCloud Container entitlement values, you no longer need to prepend your Team ID to the beginning of the string. Xcode will prepend your Team ID to these entries automatically
    • The container identifier string you pass to the URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: method of NSFileManager MUST include the team ID at the beginning of the string. As a convenience, if you pass nil, Foundation uses the first document container ID specified in your app’s entitlements.
    • There are issues using the Cloud Storage document API in conjunction with protected data which can lead to data corruption.
    • FIXED: In this beta, document-based applications cannot always detect when files change, move, or are deleted out from underneath them.
    • In this beta, file presenters (objects that adopt the NSFilePresenter protocol) do not receive some of the messages that they’re supposed to receive, especially:
      • presentedItemDidChange
      • presentedSubitemDidAppearAtURL:
      • presentedSubitemDidChangeAtURL:
      You can workaround this by implementing the relinquishPresentedItemToWriter: method and checking to see if the writer actually wrote when your file presenter reacquires. You can also use FSEvents to observe file system changes
    • In this beta, messages about changes to files in a directory are not getting delivered to objects that adopt the NSFilePresenter protocol.
    • While reporting a bug related to the iCloud storage interfaces, please include the logs collected during your debugging session. To generate these logs, you must install a special debug profile on your device.The debug profile can be obtained from http://connect.apple.com. This profile enables the generation of debug logs that are needed to diagnose any problems using iCloud storage. The instructions to collect the logs are:
      1. Install the profile. (The easiest way to do this is to mail it to yourself and open the attachment on their device.)
      2. Reproduce the bug.
      3. Sync with iTunes to pull the logs off your device.
      4. Attach the logs to your bug report. You can find the logs in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/DeviceName/DiagnosticLogs.
      These logs can grow large very quickly, so you should remove the profile after you have reproduced the problem and pulled the logs for the bug report.
    • NEW: File names are case-insensitive in OS X but case-sensitive in iOS. This can lead to problems when syncing files between the two. You should take steps on iOS to avoid creating files whose names differ only by case.

    iMessage

    • iMessage beta 1 will be unable to communicate with iMessage users on beta 2 or later.

    iPod

    • NEW: When using the volume buttons on the device, or on headphones, the volume slider in the UI of applications may not update even though the volume level has changed.

    iTunes

    • The version of iTunes that comes with beta 5 cannot sync devices that have the beta 4 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
      1. Sync any devices that have beta 4 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 4.
      2. Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 5.
      3. Connect the device and install the beta 5 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
      4. After installing the beta 5 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.
    • Videos purchased from the iTunes Store do not play on a 2nd generation AppleTV over AirPlay with iTunes 10.5.

    Location

    • FIXED: The startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges method of CLLocationManagerdoes not cause applications to be resumed or launched in the background for significant location change updates. However, if a backup from a previous software version (where an application was monitoring significant location changes) is restored to the device, significant location change monitoring will continue to cause that application to be resumed or launched in the background.

    Mail

    • FIXED: Forwarding a message with attachments included does not attach the file and the message compose screen does not change from “Loading….”
    • NEW: When changing the host name of an email account in settings, blank messages may be seen in the unified inbox. As a workaround, delete and re-add the account instead of changing its host name.

    Music Library

    • FIXED: Some songs are missing their album artwork after changing the device library via syncing.

    OpenGL ES

    • FIXED: In iOS 5.0 beta 4, several OpenGL ES extensions have been moved from the APPLE namespace to the EXT namespace, causing some API to be renamed. The altered extensions are EXT_color_buffer_half_float,EXT_occlusion_query_boolean, EXT_separate_shader_objects, EXT_shadow_samplers, EXT_texture_rg, EXT_debug_label, and EXT_debug_marker.

    OTA Software Update

    • If you are doing an OTA software update, you will need to re-sync your photos with iTunes.”

    Personal HotSpot

    • FIXED: In this beta, iPhone 4 device cannot join personal hotspot even if it is on due to a non functional Wi-Fi tethering on these devices.

    Photos

    • FIXED: If you apply red-eye adjustments in iOS, and import your image into the iPhoto seed build, the red-eye adjustments will not appear on that image in iPhoto. As a result, subsequent syncing of your image back to the iOS device from iPhoto will not show the red-eye adjustments.
    • NEW: When restoring photo libraries from an iTunes backup, some photos may not appear in the Photos application after restore. Please back up your photos before updating to iOS Beta 5.

    Simulator

    • Location services are not functional in iOS 4.3 simulator running on Mac OS 10.7 with Xcode 4.2.

    Springboard

    • Push and local notifications for apps appear in the new Notification Center in iOS 5. Notification Center displays notifications that are considered “unread.” In order to accommodate push and local notifications that have no “unread” status, developers can use their application badge count to trigger a clearing of notifications from Notification Center. When an application clears its badge count (by setting it to zero), iOS 5 will clear its notifications from Notification Center.
    • FIXED: iOS 5.0 terminates VoIP applications that are resumed in the background for incoming network traffic with extreme frequency. Developers are encouraged to make sure all incoming data is read from VoIP sockets to avoid this condition.
    • NEW: The UIPrerenderedIcon key (in the Info.plist file) is not honored in this build.

    StoreKit

    • NEW: In-App purchase will not work for developers testing their apps with the iTunes Sandbox.

    Twitter

    • FIXED: When tweeting your location from Safari and exiting before the location can be established, the location arrow will stay in the status bar. The arrow can be removed by killing Safari from the task switcher.

    UI Automation

    • FIXED: Instruments overwrites the loaded automation script, even if another program is editing it.
    • FIXED: The play and record buttons in the Automation instrument script editor may not work properly after targeting an application that was launched by a trace session and has ended. They may also not work if you target an application that was suspended. If you run into this problem and it persists, you may need to close and reopen the trace document to get back into a functional state.
    • FIXED: When capturing actions into a script using the Automation instrument, interfaces with web views or table cells that contain a high number of off screen elements may take an extremely long time before returning with an expression.
    • The lock() and unlock() functions of UIATarget have been replaced with the lockForDuration(<seconds>) function.
    • Starting in iOS 5 beta 2, you can now trigger the execution of an UI Automation script on an iOS device from the host terminal by using the instruments tool. The command is:
      • instruments -w <device id> -t <template> <application>
    • When using the cli instruments for UI Automation you can now target the default Automation Template and pass the script and results path into the tool as environment variable options. For example:
      • instruments -w <device id> -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate <application> -e UIASCRIPT <script> -e UIARESULTSPATH <results path>

    UIKit

    • Starting in iOS 5 beta 3, the exclusiveTouch property of UIControl has returned to its original default value of NO.
    • Returning nil from the tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: method (or its footer equivalent) is no longer sufficient to hide a header. You must override tableView:heightForHeaderInSection:and return0.0 to hide a header.
    • In the iOS 5 beta, the UITableView class has two methods to move one cell from one row to another with defined parameters. These APIs are:
      • moveSection:toSection:
      • moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:
    • Using the UIWebView class in Interface Builder, setting transparent background color is possible in iOS 5. Developers compiling against the new SDK can check their XIB for the UIWebView transparent setting.
    • In the iOS 5 beta, the UINavigationBar, UIToolbar, and UITabBar implementations have changed so that the drawRect: method is not called on instances of these classes unless it is implemented in a subclass. Apps that have re-implemented drawRect: in a category on any of these classes will find that the drawRect: method isn’t called. UIKit does link-checking to keep the method from being called in apps linked before iOS 5 but does not support this design on iOS 5 or later. Apps can either:
      • Use the customization API for bars that in iOS 5 and later, which is the preferred way.
      • Subclass UINavigationBar (or the other bar classes) and override drawRect: in the subclass.
    • The indexPathForRow:inSection:, section, and row methods of NSIndexPath now use NSInteger instead of NSUInteger, so that these types match with methods defined on UITableView.
    • Touch events are not getting forwarded to the view in the cameraOverlayView property of UIImagePickerController.
    • We have changed the behavior of scrollToRowAtIndexPath:atScrollPosition:animated:such that UITableViewScrollPositionTop and UITableViewScrollPositionBottom now adjust for the top and bottom portions of the contentInset property.

    WebKit

    • In iOS 5, a new inherited CSS property, -webkit-overflow-scrolling, is available. The value touch allows the web developer to opt in to native-style scrolling in an overflow:scrollelement. The default value for this property is auto, which allows single-finger scrolling without momentum.
    • NEW: In beta 5, accessing sites that use client side SSL certificates does not work and may cause the application to crash.
    • The WebKit framework has picked up a newer WebKit engine, which closely matches Safari 5.1. Some areas to be aware of with the new WebKit framework on iOS:
      • There is a new HTML5-compliant parser.
      • Text layout width may change slightly because word-rounding behavior now has floating-point-based precision.
      • There is improved validation of the <input> form field, which includes removing leading zeros and number formatting.
      • Touch events are now supported on input fields.
      • window.onerror is now supported.
      • There is a new user agent that does not have locale information in the User Agent string.
      • NEW: URLs are now canonicalized by making the scheme all lowercase. If a fake URL is used to pass information from a UIWebView back to native code, make sure that the scheme is always lowercase, or that the native code compares the scheme in a case-insensitive manner.

    Wi-Fi Syncing

    • In iOS 5 beta 4 and later, wireless syncing is now available on Windows as well as the Mac. (This support requires OS X 10.6.8 or Lion.) You will see an option to enable wireless syncing when you connect your device to iTunes with the USB cable. It is recommended you perform your initial sync with a cable after restoring your device.
      • Wireless syncing is triggered automatically when the device is connected to power and on the same network as the paired computer. Or, you can manually trigger a sync from iTunes or from Settings > General > iTunes Sync (same network as paired computer required).
      • If you find issues with apps, media and/or photos synced to your device, you can reset then resync. From Settings > General > Reset, choose Erase all Content and Settings. Then reconnect to iTunes and sync again.
    • In some cases, your device may fail to sync contacts, calendars and account settings, or back up to iTunes. If this happens, reboot your device and re-sync.
    • FIXED: In some cases, syncing photos may result in only thumbnails on your device. If this happens, unsync Photos then re-sync again.

    Xcode

    • FIXED: In beta 4, device restores using Xcode were disabled. This has been fixed. Device restores are now enabled and work in Xcode.
    • In some cases, Xcode 4.2 Organizer does not display a device that is in restore mode. As a workaround you can use iTunes to restore.
    • In iOS 5 beta 5, iOS Simulator is not compatible with previous releases of the iCloud Developer Seed for OS X. It is highly recommended that you update to the latest iCloud Developer Seed to ensure compatibility.
    • iOS 5.0 SDK supports both iOS 4.3 and iOS 5.0 simulators.
    • NEW: Xcode fails to build a Page-based template. You can work around this issue by adding the Core Graphics framework to your project.

  • New Features Of iOS 5

    So the highly anticipated iOS 5 announcement is here. Here is an overview of the new features of the iOS 5 introduced at the WWDC. Keep in mind that these are just a few of the features and there are other less important ones which weren’t announced at the WWDC.

    Notification Center

    The first feature, which is also the most expected one, is the all new notifications system. At first look, it bears a striking resemblance to the one used in android. Apple has finally gotten rid of those annoying push notifications which plagued the iPhone.Now, the notifications can be accessed by pulling the top bar down, like in android devices. They can then be viewed individually by sliding across to reveal the notification. The notifications can be closed by tapping on the cross. Click here for more information

    Deep Twitter Integration

    The second feature is native twitter integration of the iOS devices. Twitter applications can now be integrated with other applications.The setup for twitter has been simplified and now it can also automatically update contacts if they have twitter handles. Overall, the Twitter user interface is made smoother and now is much more pleasant to use. Click here for more information

    News Stand

    The third feature is the news stand. It is more like a virtual newspaper, with magazine and news subscriptions being sent to you virtually on your iOS device. Subscriptions were introduced by Apple a while back, but now the latest editions can be downloaded automatically. They can then be read offline.

     

    Enhanced Safari

    Apple has introduced a lot of new changes to the native Safari browser. First and foremost is the Safari reader, which is placed near the address bar. It aligns text together,and is a handy convenience when reading an all text page, such as a story. Then there is the reading list, which basically lets you read pages off line by saving them. Apple also introduced tabbed browsing on the iOS devices. As said before, twitter integration makes its presence here as tweets can be made using the tweet button, which pops up the tweet sheet.

     

    Camera Updates

    The native camera application has been upgraded drastically. A camera button has been placed on the lockscreen so the camera application can be accessed directly from there without unlocking the phone.Pictures can be taken by using the volume up button, so it acts like a physical camera shutter key. The pictures can be pinched to zoom like in the previous iOS versions, but now the exposure settings can be adjusted automatically by holding onto the touch. Options for editing to some extent are also present such as red-eye reduction, cropping and one click enhancement.

     

    Enhanced Mail Client

    Some features have also been added to the native mail client. These include; Rich-text formatting, indentation control, S-mime, draggable addresses (from To: to Cc: or Bcc:). You can now also search entire contents of messages.

     

    iMessage

    iMessage is a new messaging client available on all iOS 5 devices. Messages,receipts,pictures and videos can be sent amongst all iOS 5 devices using WiFi or 3G. One thing to note is that typing notifications are present here, so the receiver gets noted when the sender is typing a message. Click here for more information

    A European Court has banned all sales and advertisement of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android powered tablet in most of the European Union countries.

    The order was issued by a court in Dusseldorf after Apple filled in a complaint about the Galaxy Tab infringing many of Apple’s patents. Apple wins this round in a long battle with Samsung which started a couple of months ago. Apple is also in fisticuffs with Motorola, HTC and many other manufacturers.

  • Apple A5 Chip Pictured On iPhone 5 Logic Board

    We’ve been getting quite a few pictures of the logic board of the iPhone 5 or whatever the next generation iPhone is gonna be called and today another one popped up. We still not certain though if this logic board of the bigger iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4-ish iPhone 4S.

    The layout of the logic board is pretty similar to the one we saw earlier but with the addition of Apple A5 dual core processor chip which is also used in Apple’s iPad 2s. The front panel attached does seem similar to the older White iPhone 4 design Apple scrapped because the proximity sensor had issues with it, so this means that the image is likely quite old. Whether this is legit or fake we’ll fine out soon enough on the iPhone 5′s expected October release date.

  • Apple WIll Be Holding It’s iPhone 5 Media Event On-Campus

    New reports suggest that Apple will be holding their next generation iPhone media event on-campus, this would be the first time that Apple is holding a launch event some other than San Francisco. This media event is where Apple is gonna reveal the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S.

    Were not sure what the reason could be for Apple hosting the event at their home ground at Cupertino in California. Could it be that Apple wants newly appointed CEO Tim Cook to deliver his first keynote at their home ground, could their previous venues be already booked? We’d just have to wait and let it unfold. The media event is rumored to be held on the 4th of October.
