Apple Tablet Price Slips out as does Other Product(s)

by Jay Garrett on January 26, 2010

Not long now.

Apple’s ‘latest creation’ should appear in a few short hours and the loose lips have started.

A German electronics retailer apparently Tweeted the European launch date and pricing for the Apple iSlate.

Ooopsy!

Media Markt let slip that the iSlate would cost 499 Euros on a T-Mobile contract, or 899 Euros without which, if all things remain equal, would look at UK fanboys and girls needing £436 for one with a contract and an ouchy £786 without on March 1st.

That contract free price is a tad steep dontcha think? Either that or this tablet is going to truly amaze.

Even though Apple’s Q1 figures show a 50% increase CFO Peter Oppenheimer has admitted that the app store and iTunes aren’t exactly making the wad. He said “Regarding the App Store and the iTunes Store, we’re running those a bit over break-even, and that hasn’t changed, We’re very excited to be providing our developers with just a fabulous opportunity, and we think that’s helping us a lot with the iPhone and the iPod touch platforms.”

That’s not really the big news though. That came thanks to another slip, this time from Apple COO Tim Cook.

When he replied to questions regarding the tablet from shareholders with the line:

“I wouldn’t want to take away your joy and surprise on Wednesday when you see our latest creations.”

Whoa!

What was that?

‘Creations’? – as in plural? Is this going to be the outing of iPhone 4.0 or something even specialererer?

Answers in the comments box please!

iPhone and iPod Touch to Get FM Radio – iTunes In

by Jay Garrett on October 14, 2009

iphonefmradioRadio…….Live transmission…

Well; radio may be coming to iPhone’s and iPod Touches if the word on the street is to be believed.

Apple is apparently developing an FM radio app for the pokable handhelds.

They’re already fitted with FM radio chips it’s just that Apple hasn’t switched them on yet.

9to5Mac, which has a reliable track record for being spot-on with leaks, has been tipped with the news.

Apparently the reason it has taken Apple so long to sort this out was because they wanted to build in a feature that lets people buy songs that they hear on the radio.

So – if the iPhone can identify which song was playing, it could let users immediately click to buy and download that song from iTunes.

Ahhhhhhhh……….. now we see.

iPod radio is a fairly recent thing– the latest nanos were the first to get the reception.

Up til now the FM chips have only been used with the Nike + fitness kit and iTrip.

The new nano also lets you pause live radio for up to 15 minutes so I’m guessing that this will be the same for iPhone or iPod touch applications.

Are you excited about this?

Let me know :)

The dread of being sat in double maths and, if like me, only understanding 0.05 of what’s going on, the simple pleasure of tapping in 5318008 into the under used scientific calculator, turning it upside down and proudly flashing BOOBIES at your buddy can get you through.
Kids these days armed with an iPhone or iPod [...]
