iReplay Apples Own Netflix Rival

Apple has launch many things to complete its own ecosystem where Google lead the way now having a very huge domain for all its service, recently with Google + as its main center and also as its social network application to improve its service.

Apple not falling behind is going to release another competitive service that rival Netflix and Hulu, calling it iReplay is a service that provide movie available for rent in iTunes but not like Netflix with one subscription price but one movie per price. Yes it's a huge difference but things could get better once it's launch and changes happen here and there.

And according to AppAdvice:
In a nutshell, iTunes Replay is an extension to what Apple is already doing with iCloud and free re-downloads of previously purchased content. As Apple secures the remaining rights, TV Shows as well as Movies in iTunes will be given little arrow indicating whether they’re “iTunes Replay eligible”, that is, available to be downloaded subsequent times. Note that some content will unfortunately only be available to download five times and we don’t know how streaming will count towards that limit.

Google Reject Offer To Join Consortium Consist Of Apple And Microsoft For Nortel Patent, Microsoft Proof It By Email

Above is an email claim by Microsoft that before the Nortel patent bid, Google was offer to join the consortium of Apple, Microsoft and the like that win the Nortel patents back. The email is a proof that Google rejected to join the consortium and this shows that Google did have a chance to win the patents but simply refuse to join with all other giants to make it a one sided bid. But Google says that email can be easily faked and this email is certainly a fake email made by Microsoft to frame up Google.

Amazon Stop receiving Application From Germany

Amazon stop accepting app from German developers due to the case ongoing between Amazon and Apple in the lawsuit of the term appstore that Apple claim to be theirs only and not anyone else. Below is what German developers get from Amazon

Subject: Important Notice for Germany Based Developers

Dear Amazon Appstore Developer,

Thank you for your participation in the Amazon Appstore for Android. We wanted to notify you of a recent change to your Developer Portal account; for the time being, we are not accepting new app submissions from developers located in Germany. We have been forced to impose this restriction due to a legal action filed by Apple in Germany seeking to prevent us from using the term “appstore.” We believe Apple’s claim is without merit and are actively contesting it.

When you log into your Developer Portal account, you will notice that the options to add new apps have been removed. We hope to begin accepting new apps from German developers again soon and will notify you as soon as we are able to do so.

We appreciate your patience and your continued interest in the Amazon Appstore for Android.

Thank you,

Amazon Appstore Account Team
 


If this happen to all European country, then most online store is force to change the appstore to something else.

Jailbreak iPhone And iPod Touch Can't Update To Latest IOS 5 Beta 4

IOS 5 beta 5 release today and it comes with some nasty surprise. If you're running a jailbroken iPhone, iPod touch then you'll notice that you can't update it and turns out any iPhone or iPod touch which is jailbroken can't be updated due to an explicit of an application.

The only way you can update now is by using Itunes, pushing the update manually rather then OTA but of course you'll need the updated firmware. Using likely to reverse your jailbreak, but that's the price to update your iPhone and iPod touch.
Update: It appears that the the IOS 5 Beta 4 jailbreak is now available so those who update using the iTunes method pushing it manually, so no worries. It appears that the OTA is unavailable for those who jailbroken and thats it. It doesn't block the the tether jailbreak or anything, it just prevent a jailbroken iDevice to be update to the latest firmware via OTA

Next iPad Will Support Retina Display And Non-Apple Product Also Support It

While making an announcement, a slip of the tongue revealed that, “more smartphone manufacturers will release new models employing LG’s “Retina Display’’ that has been used in iPhones and iPads.” Now as we know, iPads do not currently have Retina display and the only iDevices which currently does is the the iPhone 4 and the iPod touch 4G, of which LG manufactures the screens.


Yes the next iPad which many hope happen in the iPad 2 is the retina display which the iPhone is using now. It didn't happen in the iPad 2 but from the slip reveal, the next iPad will support a retina display. Also which next non-Apple product will feature a retina display? Android, Windows Phone 7 device are the likely contestant? Maybe an Ebook so you could read your newspaper in HD.



White Ipod Touch Coming

9to5mac got something for you Apple fanboys, it looks like the old Ipod touch or a prototype but some believe that its the next  the iPod touch 5G which is expected to come with 3G-connectivity built-in.


All iPod touches produced so far have been black. Apple released white colored versions of the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 this year, so a white iPod touch would most definitely fit in well.


With the A5 processor running things on the iPad 2, it would be quite safe to say that the iPod touch 5G would be based on the same dual-core SoC (System-on-a-Chip). RAM will also be doubled to 512MB, surely, to keep up with more demanding apps. Lastly, there are chances of Apple bumping up the camera. The 0.7 megapixel shooter on the iPod touch 4G is pathetic; just a small bump, say, to 2 megapixels would be quite welcome.

It is expected that Apple will either announce the iPod touch 5G or the iPhone 5 this September. Who knows: maybe they will announce both together!

Itnues Added More Country Support

Itunes has addedd new list of country that it support, curious if your country made in? Check out the new addition of the country below:

Algeria, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, British Virgin Islands, Brunei, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Dominica, Ghana, Grenada, Guyana, Iceland, Montserrat, Nigeria, Oman, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Suriname, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, Uzbekistan, Yemen

Apple win the Nortel patents with the help of some other companies and now Apple is bidding for HULU. Bloomberg reports that Cupertino is in early talks that may lead to an offer for Hulu which would give Apple a subscription service capable of competing with Netflix. While Hulu did not comment on the information, Scott Sutherland, Wedbush Securities Inc. analyst thinks that "part of the ecosystem of Apple’s future is to include more video". So will video streaming will next to explode after music streaming and cloud storage?
