- Rumor: Best Buy sticks Core i7 logo on MacBook Pro page
Filed under: Rumors, Macbook Pro
When you're waiting so intently for something you know is just around the corner, even the slightest sign of a hint at the new arrival is worth a bit of excitement.
Today's moment of thrill (which is almost certainly just a website error, but you never know), courtesy of tipster Zach, is the appearance of a Core i7 badge on the Best Buy page for the 2.53Ghz 15" MacBook Pro. Other models are still showing the correct (as of this moment) Core 2 Duo badge, so there you go.
The appearance of new MacBook Pros has been on the rumor radar for months now, including a fairly specific report that's now more than 60 days overdue and a benchmark sighting recently. At this point, it's a race to see whether the new MBPs or the iPad will ship first.TUAWRumor: Best Buy sticks Core i7 logo on MacBook Pro page originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:00:00 EST.

Переслать - Found Footage: Say hello to ePad
Filed under: Humor, Multimedia, Cult of Mac, Odds and ends, iPad
Apple is definitely one of the world's most admired companies, but their lofty ambitions, high visibility, and easy-to-identify style also makes them ripe for parody, as in this very funny video by the UK's E4. They're boasting about a madeup device called the ePad, which will wow you with its revolutionary and magical keyboard, screen, and standard attached computer and television. Like they say, if you want to see one of their shows, you can just literally reach out and touch ... well, we won't ruin the surprise.
But it is funny. And it shows that while yes, the iPad is a cool device, anything you talk about in a "revolutionary" and "magical" way can seem like it's exactly that -- even if it is just another heavy piece of junk.TUAWFound Footage: Say hello to ePad originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:00:00 EST.

Переслать - Flickr faster with Flickit Pro
Filed under: Multimedia, iPhone, App Review
I love Flickr (and alliteration, apparently). That is, I love Flickr on my desktop, and often on my Apple TV. I've never really been in love with the mobile experience, mostly due to long wait times and cumbersome navigation. When Mike Bernardo from Green Volcano Software contacted me about Flickit Pro, his Flickr app for the iPhone, I was definitely game to try it. I bought a copy the same day in the hopes that it would bring a little joy to my mobile Flickring.
We've played with Photon before, so we know that Green Volcano knows how to make photo handling fluid and fast. That interface dexterity carries over to the iPhone app. I was impressed by the overall aesthetics, and as I played with it I quickly confirmed that it wasn't just eye candy. There are little details that made me smile, and then ask, "Why all apps don't do things like this?" My favorite of these interface gems has to be the ability to zoom a photo in quite far, drag it to the edge and hold it a sec, and watch it suck back down and load the next image. Whether or not you dislike the usual double-tap-before-you-slide on most iPhone photo browsers as much as I do, it's still a great feature and demonstrates some serious attention to detail.
The speed is impressive, the background loading isn't cumbersome or even noticeable, and the overall experience left a great impression. It was $3.99US well spent. There's a free version, Flickit (without the Pro), but I haven't tried it. I assume it's a cool app, but if you're a Flickr fanatic (or really like well-designed apps), check out Flickit Pro.
I put together a little gallery below, so in case you don't buy that whole "nice interface" spiel, you can dive in and see for yourself.

Переслать - VeriFone credit card reader gets deal to be in Apple Stores
Filed under: Hardware, Peripherals, Apple, iPhone
The Square credit card reader for the iPhone has gotten most of the buzz around here, especially after we saw that impressive demo at Macworld a few weeks ago. But VeriFone's competing reader has been given the green light by Apple itself: the unit has been granted a deal for shelf space. VeriFone will be selling its PAYware Mobile units inside Apple's retail stores coming up as soon as the end of March.
I'm not quite sure what the reasoning is behind this one on Apple's side, as the PAYware service seems to be a little more clunky than the Square solution: you have to pay both an activation fee and a monthly fee on top of the per-payment charge that Square asks for, and the reader itself is much bigger, taking up the iPhone's dock rather than just using the headphone port like Square's. Whatever Apple saw in them, you'll be able to get VeriFone's system right along with an iPhone or iPod touch all at the same time..
No matter which system eventually prevails (if indeed anyone needs to prevail at all -- there's certainly more than one credit card company, so there's no reason why there couldn't be more than one payment system on the iPhone), this does seems like a model that will change a lot of business transactions in all sorts of industries. It'll be interesting to see how the curve takes off once these things are up and running.TUAWVeriFone credit card reader gets deal to be in Apple Stores originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:00:00 EST.

Переслать - TomTom submits updated app for Apple review
Filed under: Odds and ends, Airport, iPhone, iPod touch
The makers of the TomTom app for the iPhone have let us know that they've submitted an updated version that adds real-time traffic information, Google local search, and even some secret features the company isn't talking about yet.
The TomTom app was eagerly sought out last year, but of late has fallen a bit behind market leader Navigon. This new release, with real-time info and Google local, will give both apps rough feature parity.
The current TomTom app is on sale for U.S. $49.99 at the app store (U.S. maps only) and it includes a "free update to the new version as soon as its available." That would indicate that some or all of the new features will be an extra charge for current owners.
Version 1.3 will be available as soon as it passes through the App Store vetting process.
