- Talkcast tonight: iPhone 4 preorder and more!
Filed under: TUAW Business, Podcasts
As per tradition, we'll be digitally gathering this evening for the Talkcast. Hosting tonight will be handled by me, unofficial Mistress of the unofficial Aftershow. This week's topics include the iPhone 4 preorder snafu-age, the 10.6.4 system update, the impending iOS 4 release, and iPad/Mac security. We'll get things underway at 4pm Hawaiian time, which is 7pm Pacific and 10pm Eastern.
Of course, we'll also talk about whatever your heart desires too. None of this works without you. Yes, you! Without our regular readers and listeners, it's just TUAW bloggers talking to themselves. What Mac and iPhone-related topics are on your mind?
To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only client, the embedded Facebook app, or the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VoIP lines (take advantage of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *8.
If you've got a headset or microphone handy on your Mac, you can connect via the free Gizmo or X-Lite SIP clients; basic instructions are here.
Come by, won't you? We'll have coffee, we'll talk, no big whoop.TUAWTalkcast tonight: iPhone 4 preorder and more! originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:15:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Переслать - 5 Apps & more for Father's Day
Filed under: Holidays
Here in the US, in the UK and in 53 other countries, we're celebrating Father's Day. It's a day for Dad to sleep in, revel in the love of his family, and (perhaps not as importantly, but still nice) receive presents. Lots and lots of presents.
Before you purchase yet another soap on a rope, consider our list of potential last-minute gifts for the Mac-loving or iDevice-toting dad in your life. He'll thank you for sure. ( If Dad doesn't have an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch -- there's a suggestion right there.)
Macworld posted a solid list of apps for dads; some of them are our picks as well, and we've got a few divergent suggestions.TUAW5 Apps & more for Father's Day originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 20 Jun 2010 12:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Переслать - Reader reports: iPhone 4 shipping notifications
Filed under: iPhone
In the past 12 hours, we've begun hearing from readers who have gotten shipping notifications on their iPhone 4 orders. Keep in mind, just as with past overnight shipments of iThings, the shippers are scheduled to hold the phones for delivery so that they don't arrive before June 24.
Meanwhile, a long thread over on the MacRumors forums cites the trials and tribulations of some would-be iPhone 4 buyers who had their preorders cancelled unexpectedly. It's not clear exactly what circumstances led to the cancellations. In some cases, it may have been a missed checkbox on the order form agreeing to AT&T's terms and conditions; in others, it may be a complex billing situation (family or corporate plan, an unpaid invoice) that caused the carrier to flag the order for in-store handling.
Is your iPhone on its way to you already? Let us know below.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.TUAWReader reports: iPhone 4 shipping notifications originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 20 Jun 2010 11:10:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Переслать - Mail.app in 10.6.4 pastes screenshots as TIFF
Filed under: OS
Out of some behind-the-scenes frustration on the TUAW team email list, we seem to have discovered a quirk in Mac OS X 10.6.4. Using the built-in screenshot tools, you can copy a screenshot to the clipboard using Command + Control + Shift + 3 (or 4, for the crosshairs screenshot). From there you can paste into Preview or Mail or any other application which can take images from the clipboard.
The issue presents itself when you paste into Mail.app or Mailplane. Instead of using your preferred format for screenshots, the images are pasted as a TIFF file. Several TUAW staff members were able to replicate this on 10.6.4, but it does not seem to have been happening in 10.6.3. If you paste into Preview.app instead, your image format preference seems to be honored.
While there's nothing inherently wrong with TIFF as a pasteable format, it does mean that your screenshot pastes may be a lot larger than you expect. It also may adversely affect the ability of iPhone/iPad users to see the screenshots you paste into emails.
There are many different image formats that you can choose for screenshots (BMP, GIF, JPG, JP2, PSD, SGI, TGA, PDF, PICT, PNG, or TIFF, to be precise) but most people probably use JPG or PNG. You can find out which you use by going to Terminal.app and typing (or copy/paste):
defaults read com.apple.screencapture type
You can also use a 3rd party tool such as OnyX to change your screenshot format setting, or do it via Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type XXX
where XXX is one of the types listed above. You will then either have to logout or restart Finder (control+option/alt+click the Finder icon and choose Relaunch) to have the change recorded.
We're interested to see how many folks can duplicate this. Try these steps:
1) copy a screenshot to the clipboard
2) switch to Mail.app and paste it (you may have to actually send the image to someone to see what format it is in)
3) switch to Preview.app and paste it, then save it (to see if your image format preference is honored)
Did you get the same format results in steps 2 and 3? What version of Mac OS X are you using? Let us know in the comments.

Переслать - iTunes 9.2 adds checkbox for automatic sync of new apps
Filed under: OS
We already told you about iTunes 9.2 being released, but there was a little new feature in there which may have escaped your notice. At the bottom of the list of apps that you can install on your iDevice is a checkbox to automatically sync new apps.This has been the default behavior of iTunes, but you are now able to turn it off if you don't want apps to be automatically sync'd to your iDevices.
Thanks to TUAW reader Mike (aka MC SE7EN) for the tip. Mike also pointed out that the little iOS device images that appear next to the device name, identifier, etc, seem to be pictured running iOS 4, even if your device isn't. If you look closely you can see a folder icon. Well, Mike could. My eyes apparently aren't as good as his.
Updated 7:30 pm to clarify that this was the default behavior which now has an "off" switch.TUAWiTunes 9.2 adds checkbox for automatic sync of new apps originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Переслать - Next update to Navigon app will multitask on iOS 4
Filed under: iPhone
Navigation is one of the iPhone app categories that will really benefit from multitasking, and Navigon will shortly release a free update to provide that highly desired functionality.
You can leave the app when a call comes in, and when you end the call you'll still be navigating. Better yet, any voice alerts will be heard while you are on a call.
The US and Canada version will be updated first, with the regional versions of the apps to follow shortly. Navigon has continued to be very aggressive in delivering features, and this latest update will be an important leap forward. No release date has been announced yet for the 1.6 update, but it's in review with Apple now.
If you'd like to see the new features in action, Navigon has posted a video of the new version in operation. I can't wait for this update, and I expect I'm not alone. TomTom has also announced it will be supporting multitasking shortly after the new OS is released.

Переслать - iSkin announces an iPad case for the germophobic
Filed under: iPad
Are you a little OCD when it comes to germs? Do you feel like you need to wash your hands after you use your iPad? Did that report about the iPad screens in Apple Stores being hotbeds for assorted fungi and bacteria make you want to take a long, hot shower?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then iSkin has a new iPad case just for you. The only iPad case made with built-in Microban, the iSkin Duo (US$49.99) is a dockable case made from a hypoallergenic silicone that is given a finish to resist the tendency for cases of this type to collect dust and dirt particles.
The Duo has a colorful back with an embossed pattern and special side grips that make for sure handling of your iPad. There are a rainbow of colors to choose from: yellow, purple, brown, blue, pink, red, and clear.
To make sure that your fear of germs is negated, Microban is embedded into the silicone. This antimicrobial agent works constantly to kill fungi and bacteria that can cause staining and odors. Need to sterilize the case? You can wash it in hot water without distorting the shape and fit of the Duo.
iSkin also announced the new iSkin Vu line of cases, and both it and the Duo will be available within a few weeks at retail outlets and online.TUAWiSkin announces an iPad case for the germophobic originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:00:00 EST.
