Apple iPad / iProd / iTablet Caught on Video – Touched and Used

by Jay Garrett on August 14, 2009

apple_tabletIt sounds like the Apple Slab will be out next year with the amount of folk dismissing a September launch.

Thing is that the amount of people denying the iPad is decreasing and the amount of people suggesting a release date is increasing.

So – this iProd then, it has been described as a 10 inch screened iPod Touch with a black back (obviously this may change) but what would it actually look like?

The Apple tablet in the first video sure looks like the real thing.

The short clip shows a user touching the screen and firing up Safari, with links to the App Store and other extras all shown in an OS X–like dock down the bottom.

What is weird though is the extra hardware being used down the front. Forum users over at MacRumors reckon this is actually the dev kit. What is clear is that this looks very much like an Apple tablet.

Another clip, which you can see down below, shows a similar UI and a nice shot of the Apple tablet being given a good old prod to boot.

Have a look and see if you believe the hype ;)

Google Latitude Now on iPhone

by Jay Garrett on July 24, 2009

Jay Google LatitudeOk iPhone equipped stalkers!!

Google Latitude has finally arrived for the Apple handheld :)

All you have to do is head to m.google.com/latitude, let Google use your location and you’re sorted!

Your location will appear on a Google map within the browser, with Latitude appearing as a tab next to Gmail and GCal.

Add any friends that you want to share your every movement with by choosing from your Gmail contacts or typing in their email address and they’ll receive a link to the mobile site, where they can sign up themselves and view your location.

You can switch between map and satellite view and get directions. There’s even an option to view traffic.

Clicking a contact’s icon presents the option to send an email, get directions to the contact’s location, and change the precision of location information you’d like to share with the person.

The options are:

  • best available location
  • only city-level location
  • hide from this friend

Because it’s an opt-in service and you have to invite or approve anyone before they can see your location – so not so much on the stealthy stalkage then ;)

Thankfully you can also turn your location off at any time.

It would’ve been a handy thing to use at the Latitude Festival last week – hmm.. Latitude at Latitude!

Genius!

Although it all depends on your mobile signal and GPS – which was a bit on/off in Suffolk.

Apple Search Engine – True or False?

November 13, 2008 Click to read more →

Word over at TechCrunch is that Apple may be working on a search engine of its own.
This isn’t wholly unreasonable when you see that its Safari web browser has 6-7% market share but uses Google as the search engine for both the computer and iPhone/iPod versions.
And they can’t be overly happy with Google’s competition to [...]
