Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, Smartphones, Features, Handhelds,
We know that a bunch of you have been wondering when the heck Apple would start shipping Bumper Cases in colors other than black, which has been available since the launch of the iPhone 4—and even that has been limited in quantity. Well, we finally got our hands on the orange Bumper Case, and figured we’d throw up a photo gallery showing it off.
You can pick up the iPHone 4 Bumper Case for $29 from Apple.

Motorola Droid X display next to iPhone 4 Retina Display
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Displays, Handhelds,
Here’s an image of the Motorola Droid X next to the iPhone 4. We thought it was interesting because the Droid X has a monstrous 4.3-inch display, compared to the iPhone 4 and it’s 3.5-inch screen. However, the smaller iPhone Retina Display actually packs more pixels in, despite its smaller size. The iPhone 4 display resolution is 960x640. Over on the Droid X side of things, it’s 854x480. Sometimes size doesn’t matter—it’s what do you with the size you’ve got. That said, it’s way easier to watch video content on the Droid X than it is the iPhone 4, just because the screen has so much more room.
What is this tiny Apple touchscreen device for?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Displays, Rumors,
If tw.apple.pro is to be believed, this is another leaked piece of an upcoming Apple product. What you are looking at is a 1.2-inch by 1.2-inch touchscreen display. Of course, that leaves us wondering, what the heck would Apple do with a touchscreen display this tiny? Could this be the display for the next iPod shuffle, finally bringing visual cues to that device? Could it be for an upcoming remote control? Or a watch? Something else? Let us know your thoughts!
Next iPod touch to rock front-facing camera, HD recording?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors,
Hot off the release of the iPhone 4, the Apple rumor mill is heating up once again, this time in regards to the fourth-generation iPod touch. The image above is making the rounds on a few Chinese sites, and it’s reportedly the faceplate of the upcoming iPod touch refresh. If the image is true, then it looks like we can expect a front-facing camera (and therefore, FaceTime.) Furthermore, we are hearing that Apple plans to line the iPod touch right up with the iPhone 4, which should mean HD video recording in 720p, gyroscope, and a 5 megapixel camera around back as well. This would be the first time the iPod touch had a camera of any time built into it. Take it all with a grain of salt. We should find out the real scoop from Apple in September.

White iPhone 4 photo gallery
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Features, Handhelds,
As previously reported, Apple delayed the white iPhone 4 availability due to manufacturing challenges, and the smartphone should finally be available later this month, if Apple is to be believed. In the meantime, it looks like the white iPhone 4 is starting to roll off of the manufacturing belt, as we’ve come across a ton of images of the device by way of Japan.

White iPhone 4 box revealed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Design,
We are still waiting to hear from Apple on the release date of the white iPhone 4 (they most they’ve provided is “the second half of July”) but at least we’ve got proof that it can’t be too far away now, as a shot of the product box has been uncovered. Did any of you not pick up an iPhone 4 at launch because you wanted to wait for the white one to arrive?
ATT iPhone 4 HSUPA upload speeds slow due to software bug
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Wireless / WiFi,
Over the past couple of days, many AT&T customers have been wondering if the company had imposed a new speed cap on uploads for devices that supports HSUPA. Many iPhone 4 users were reporting that their upload speeds had dropped significantly, down to the levels of previous iPhone devices, as you can see in the speed test above. As it turns out, AT&T says this is a software bug in some of their Alcatel-Lucent equipment, and that they are working on a fix:
AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent jointly identified a software defect — triggered under certain conditions – that impacted uplink performance for Laptop Connect and smartphone customers using 3G HSUPA-capable wireless devices in markets with Alcatel-Lucent equipment. This impacts less than two percent of our wireless customer base. While Alcatel-Lucent develops the appropriate software fix, we are providing normal 3G uplink speeds and consistent performance for affected customers with HSUPA-capable devices.
Unfortunately, no word on when that fix will be deployed.

Bleeding Edge TV 354: Unibody Mac mini vs. Apple TV vs. original Mac mini
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Apple, Design, Features, Home Entertainment, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos,
With the newly redesigned unibody Mac mini, it appears that Apple is trying to bring the best of the original Mac mini and the current Apple TV together to make a more formidable machine. After all, the Mac mini is now the only Apple Mac computer that sports a built-in HDMI port, perfect for connecting it to your home theater. In this episode we compare the look and build of the new Mac mini, the original Mac mini, and the Apple TV.
You can pick up the unibody Mac mini at Apple now.
Apple set to bring iTunes to the cloud and offer wireless syncing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Home Entertainment, Rumors, Wireless / WiFi,
Our pals over at BGR have got a scoop from a “reliable Apple source” that has told them that the company is preparing for a major shift in their iTunes strategy. Basically, Apple is readying an iTunes cloud service that would bring a few new capabilities to the service, and untether you from keeping and accessing your content strictly off of a local hard drive. Once live, you’d be able to stream your music and movies directly from Apple’s servers to your devices, no matter where you are. Further, you’d be able to steam music and movies from your home computers to your other computers and remote devices, kind of like an extension of Back to My Mac. Lastly, we should finally see wireless iTunes syncing come to devices like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
These changes would immediately negate pretty much all storage space woes with WiFi-capable Apple devices. A 16GB iPad could stream every movie you own rather than requiring the movie to be stores on the device itself, making internal storage much less of an issue. Apple typically has their iTunes and iPod event in September, and this year should be no different. If this is real, we’d expect it to be unveiled in just over two months.
Bleeding Edge TV 352: Unibody Mac mini vs. Original Mac mini
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Apple, Features, PC / Laptop, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos,
A couple of week ago, Apple introduced a completely redesigned Mac mini, sporting a unibody enclosure along with an HDMI port and SD card slot. The new machine is much thinner than the original design, which the mini has been sporting for about five years now, and we figured we’d give you an up-close comparison of the two models so that you can see both the obvious changes, as well as the more subtle ones.
You can pick up the new Mac mini from the Apple Store online now.
