Though Apple has struggled with iPhone 5 supply in the past few months, the company knows that it has to have ample inventory of the iPhone for the holiday season. Now, eight weeks after launch, Apple has reached the point where the iPhone 5 is available in stores and online ship times have dropped to one week, says a report by Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. As noted by Philip Elmer-Dewitt of Apple 2.0, Apple's situation contrasts greatly with the handset shortfall that Google is facing. Google launched its flagship Nexus 4 earlier this month to demand that exceeded the company's expect... Read similar

iBuku Pets lets you recycle your old iPhone by giving it to your kids

www.tuaw.com Kelly Hodgkins 166 days ago

Rather than toss their old iPhone or iPod touch into the trash, an increasing number of parents are giving their worn down devices to their children as toys. I have to agree that an iPod touch with the right apps can be an enjoyable play thing for your little one, but that device is not made Fisher-Price strong. Once it hits the floor with any force, there's a good chance it will shatter. To help protect your device and make it safe for small hands, there is a new cushiony and cute case from Arbor Cube called iBuku Pets. I received a review unit and handed it over to my kids for a week. Read... Read similar

www.businessinsider.com Owen Thomas 75 days ago

We recently noticed that Amazon was hiring an unusually large number of salespeople for Amazon Web Services, its enterprise arm that rents computing power over the Internet to other businesses. Now Amazon has confirmed its ambitious hiring plans to us. And an exclusive study prepared for Business Insider shows that Amazon is adding salespeople at a more rapid pace than any other enterprise business. The Lions, a startup whose technology analyzes and categorizes approximately 25,000 salespeople, based on LinkedIn profiles and other data, prepared the study for Business Insider.

It's the rare mom or dad who's never spent a sleepless night wondering "Is my kid OK?" Developmental issues, in particular, can be a nightmare to classify and confirm. Normal variations between children may mean that a milestone delay is nothing to worry about; for another child, when seen in context with other symptoms, that same delay may justify an evaluation by a professional. That's why the Questioning Autism? app for iPhone, released earlier this month, is an interesting and useful tool. With 12 straightforward educational questions, the app helps guide parents who may be concerne... Read similar

Israeli firm highlights 'mobileconfig' iOS vulnerability

www.tuaw.com Michael Grothaus 67 days ago

mobile device management

An Israeli firm called Skycure Security has published a report that highlights a potential vulnerability threat to iOS. The report demonstrates how malicious users could circumvent Apple's malware protection via "mobileconfig" files. As AppleInsider notes, "Mobileconfig files...are used by cellular carriers, Mobile Device Management solutions, and some mobile applications to configure certain system-level settings for iOS devices, including Wi-Fi, VPN, email, and APN settings." Hackers could exploit a vulnerability in these provisioning profiles and get users to download the hacker's own cus... Read similar

T-Mobile preorders for iPhone 5 kick off today

www.tuaw.com Michael Rose 45 days ago

Ready to think pink? Scrappy fourth-place US cell carrier T-Mobile is eager to serve; the company's preorder run for the iPhone 5 has launched today. Phones will ship to customers on April 12. Last week, Engadget confirmed that the T-Mobile model of the iPhone 5 will carry the same A1428 model number as the current AT&T/GSM domestic model. There is a small but critical tweak, however, for the new carrier: the iPhone 5 now will support the 1700 MHz HSPA+/AWS uplink band, which will enable higher performance on T-Mobile's UMTS Band IV network. Older GSM iPhone 5 units cannot get this fix v... Read similar

Now that Google Maps is back on the iPhone, users have plenty of map choices to use. While I prefer Google Maps by a long shot, there are (amazingly) some who like Apple Maps better. Their primary reason: Apple Maps's systemwide integration into iOS. However, a legitimate gripe about Apple Maps is that it doesn't offer transit directions in the same seamless way Google Maps does. Thankfully, Apple built in support for third-party transit direction app shortcuts in Maps. Now with Google Maps back on the iPhone, users can have the best of both worlds: Apple Maps for iOS integration and Google ... Read similar

Apple abandons Newton trademark

www.tuaw.com Michael Grothaus 83 days ago

Even though Steve Jobs killed the Newton when he returned to Apple in 1997, the company has maintained the trademark for Apple's first PDA ever since. Well, until earlier this month that is. As noted by PatentlyApple, Apple officially abandoned the Newton trademark on February 12, 2013. The discovery was made when PatentlyApple was searching through trademarks in the Canadian IP office this month. With the abandoning of the Newton trademark, it's likely we will never see another product from Apple called "Newton" again.Apple abandons Newton trademark originally appeared on TUAW - The Unoffic...

Ex Amazon Employee: Google Is 'A Threat 'To Amazon's Cloud (AMZN, GOOG)

www.businessinsider.com Julie Bort 2 days ago

third party management

A former Amazon Web Services engineer recently conducted an Ask-Me-Anything session on Reddit, and one of the more surprising things he said was just how much of a threat Google's cloud computing service is to Amazon. That's because Google's cloud is faster than Amazon's, he said. With cloud computing, where apps run on rented servers over the Internet, performance is very important. Not that Google is going to topple Amazon's cloud business anytime soon. Amazon is by far the biggest cloud in every way, from the number of companies that use it to the number of apps and third-party management t... Read similar

Watching This Guy Make Cotton Candy Art Is Incredibly Tasty

#food Have you ever tried to make cotton candy? Whenever I start twirling that stick in that intimidating centrifugal force of a cotton candy machine, my cotton candy turns out lumpy, tumorous and never looks appetizing. I mean it's still delicious—like any sugary cloud would be—but it looks disgusting. This guy though, makes art with cotton candy. Imagine an edible balloon animal. That's what this guy makes.

DIY Map GPS is a nav app that lets you create your map experience

www.tuaw.com Mel Martin 89 days ago

DIY Map GPS (US$4.99, universal) is a GPS navigation solution for those who like to create or annotate their own maps. While it can use the open source Open Street Maps to download mapping data with an Internet connection, it also lets you create your own maps from JPEG or PNG files. DIY Map also lets you use atlases created by Mobile Atlas Creator that run on Macs and PCs. You can also use maps you have scanned in. Using downloaded maps means no data charges, so if you are on metered plans that is an advantage. I tested the app with Open Street Maps data, which does require a data connection... Read similar

Amazon Reclaims Its Namesake, Launches In Brazil With Kindle Store; Kindle Devices Coming In “Weeks”

techcrunch.com Ingrid Lunden 165 days ago

Amazon is continuing its global march by making a big move into the country that could rightfully lay claim to being responsible for Amazon's name: today the online book and retail marketplace announced it would be launching its Kindle Store in Brazil. A move to Brazil with an e-bookstore-only operation has been on the cards since earlier this year; the main site opens this month with access to Amazon's Kindle e-book store from today, with Kindle devices going on sale in "the coming weeks," priced at 299 Brazilian reals (US$143).Read similar
