The first problem has to do with reality iOS4 since both users iPhone 4 as iPhone 3GS are reporting declines in Bluetooth connection for both hands-free headsets and car systems. A major problem for those who drive many hours per day and need their accessories for talking on the phone without using their hands and … crash! “Users say the Bluetooth connection drops sporadically after the two devices are hooked up successfully. Others manage to connect, only to find a message that says No Media Found when trying to play music. And some say they experienced muffled voices when making a call on Bluetooth ” , say from AppleInsider and other specialist blogs confirmed . Being a software problem would not have to worry too much and hope that Apple launched an update to fix it soon.

On the other hand, there is bad news for those who had wanted to buy a iPhone 4 blank as Apple I wonder to delay indefinitely: “The white models of the new Apple iPhone in April have been more challenging at the time of manufacture than originally expected , and as a result will not be available until later this year. The availability of models in black is not affected “. It is not obvious what these complications too manufacturing but some believe it will take to launch in the holiday season .

The options can be both bumpers that cover the steel frame that passes makes the antenna, or choose from other manufacturers housings Apple. Here we show you how:

1. Download the application iPhone 4 Case Program of App Store.
2. We launched the application in our iPhone 4 and checked using our account iTunes Store the Apple ID.
3. We select our Bumper or housing.

Well easy , right? Anyway , should not wait long to claim your free bumper cover or because there are time limits:

So if you’re interested in a iPhone 4, A bumper or free housing is probably the last reason would have to hurry to buy smartphone before 30 September.

A good news for our brothers in Mexico is that no operator will have the exclusive sale of ipad 3G version so I can get a microSIM wherever they want , then buy the Apple tablet in the various stores like or MacStore iShop .

But just from Telmex wanted to stay outside and not from Official Blog came quickly to announce that ” from 00:00 hrs on Friday July 23 , you can purchase your IPAD through telephone number 2222 01,800,123 . So looking to go let them , then prices ipad Telmex:

ipad 3G

• 16GB : $9,499
• 32GB : $ 10,999
• 64GB : $ 12,499

ipad WiFi:

• 16GB : $7,498
• 32GB : $8,999
• 64GB : $ 10,499

Skype , as many know by now, is an application that allows us to make use of 3G networks for calls voice , with what it means to a more economic good, and especially taking into account as is the issue of charges lately . One of the biggest handicaps I had this application so far in the devices AppleIs that if you wanted to take advantage of the benefits you had to have the application always open in the foregroundBecause as usual until the appearance of IOS in April , bore no multitasking, or rather, applications background.

As commented, with the appearance of IOS 4 and its support for background applicationsOpens a new world for users of these devices ( a world that, let me leave , I was on other operating systems Symbian and Android for quite some time.) So Skype has decided to speak and do the best are given, which is to try making things easy to publish an update of their application for iPhone devices that allow for multitasking support of IOS 4, which translates into iPhone 4And iPhone 3G. Once we have the application in the background and if we end up receiving a call, it will inform through a dialog box as shown in the picture accompanying the entry. Most interestingly, is that we can continue fiddling with our terminal once the call is established, For example , reaching for the agenda to find some number, or look at our position in Google Maps to report our position.

The latest rumor has it that Skype was the intention, or at least were weighing the idea of making this payment service… an idea that fortunately for us have finished setting aside. Yes, the issue of being paid subscriber Skype to make calls from terminals which do not have Skype , will continue to pay.

As mentioned earlier, Apple solution possible problem with the antenna in the iPhone has been to four deliver a ‘ case ‘ (That’s what Apple calls it ) each user free so you can solve the problem of coverage.

This move will cost the company an estimated total $ 175 million, A figure not good for the company. As recently discussed in Web IncubaThe third quarter has recently completed the best quarter for Apple, as a controversy , the next quarter does not think it’s so good to say, they start with a negative balance of $ 175 million .

Comparing one year to another it means an incredible increase of 61 % and 78 % respectively, and international sales accounted for 52 % of the total income of the quarter.

The big difference at the output of this quarter is that they began to market the IPAD and I have some 3.27 million units sold , plus about 8.4 million iPhone sold in the quarter: 61% more than the same quarter last year but less than the 8.75 million sold in the previous quarter.

These numbers are positioning Apple and the phone maker ’s most profitable market: great news for the company, whose shares were coming down due to Antennagate and now recovered by 3.1 percent.

However, the numbers show a bias against Apple ’s market share which fell to 14 % smartphones from 17% which was the last three quarters. With these data we can know that Apple sells about 92 000 iPhone per day compared to 160 000 Android that are being sold per day (And growing) , 120 000 BlackBerry devices 45 000 260 000 Windows Mobile and Symbian phones .

We all know defects which has the iPhone 4, Its signal problems have gone crazy to the same Steve Jobs and of course I suppose that its strategy of giving a protector for iPhone 4 has exactly the same function this small Band-Aid the banned, As you prefer to call it.

Supposedly to make this Antenna -Aid at the bottom left of your new iPhone 4 signal then your problems should be things of the past. But of course , the guys that make this development are ready , they say that this small banned “is made for entertainment purposes and that the results may vary“. They do not want to risk as Steve Jobs maybe.

If you want to buy to fix your problem or simply as a novelty, can get you to the home page creators this small savior your new iPhone 4, the price? a package of 6 Band-Aids will cost $5.

We are still waiting for Apple say something about the now famous official reception problems iPhone 4, But meanwhile no longer news that leave out very badly on the firm headed by Steve Jobs. Recently we learned that a Danish professor had already predicted what would happen with the antenna terminal of Apple, but what is worse is that according to BloombergApple already knew these problems because its own engineers had told him .

According to an anonymous source has revealed , Apple’s senior engineer , an expert on antennas, and warned Jobs that the design of the terminal might cause problems. The words of Rubén Caballero, who is the engineer in question , it appears that fell on deaf while and the terminal was opened for sale last June 24 without solving this design problem could be a great disappointment for the company.

From Bloomberg has tried to contact Knight , but no luck and an Apple spokesperson has assured that no engineer will make a statement . Thus, one can only hope to press conference Apple has scheduled for today and see what solution offers users of your phone.

In addition, the steps for installation are really simple :

It seems the trend is to synchronize your links in the cloud with Firefox Home iPhone , Android with Chrome , Windows Phone 7 with Skydrive . And it is increasingly appreciated being able to access all our data from anywhere. Anyway , we would be leaving a company access to many of our data … Do not you get a little scared?

What they have not commented at any time is whether it is compatible with IPAD , Have you been able to use in the IPAD ? What does it look?

Imagine seeing the Madrid metro network on Google maps . Zooming are the details: the names of streets , squares, important buildings, etc . With a click to see the satellite view instead of a traditional map . And why not, see a hybrid of both. Imagine if when you click on a station could be elected “Here begins my path . ” Later, in another season marked “Here ends my route ” and the IPAD calculated the best route to travel between two stations , giving instructions “human” to make the trip (and not just a list of stations go, as do almost all app). Imagine that in addition to see the subway lines in the real map , you can see both the full line in sequence (the traditional in these cases) and clicking on any of them is marked on the map in an instant as if they were “synchronized . ” Imagine that in the upper right corner has a search box where you type in letters of the name of a station and the app will show you the actual seasons , it would be great to find this? . Imagine that, for every season and with a glance, you know if you have elevators, information desk , parking, bibliometric connection nearby , etc. Imagine if for every season you could see pictures of their surroundings, to find you better or to find the station you ‘re looking for or because you’re a tourist or because you’re curious ! .

So the developers explain this IPAD application Madrid Metro whereby you can even share the e-mail routes . AMT -Metro Madrid and is available for about 1.59 euros in App Store App Store (link) but we have invitations to the first 5 to leave a comment and your email in this post so to hurry !

But it was really a comment to that I gave too much importance because this drop in Apple shares began as a trend of 4% which we think would recover quickly but is now dropping 7%!

However, we must recognize that sales of iPhone 4 were very good and the rate of return is greater than at other times showing that consumers are brand loyal , sending the mistakes (I came up with some stronger words ) to be sent .

The episode reached another peak after Consumer Reports shatter the iPhone 4 saying they could not recommend it to people claiming to do something to fix (which did not happen with the new version of IOS in April although many had said it was a software problem )

The truth is that the market is giving a shock of reality to Apple with a fall of 7.7 percent since the iPhone hit stores April 24 June and is threatened Apple the advantage of Microsoft today is 8.9 billion dollars but that may change if the trend continues . We have to wait to see Apple announcing tomorrow and then watch the market reaction …

And to celebrate the success of Angry Birds on iPhoneFrom Chillingo Birds Angry Squawk Launch Contest where participants can win a IPAD following the instructions on the page Facebook of the company.

Jump Doodle was the first iPhone Game to reach 3 million mark in sales in March, and four million in April , but Angry Birds was launched in December 2009 and although he did not see sales take off until February now seems to be growing very fast: in mid-May Rovio announced the 2.4 million sales after reaching four million loas in mid-June at a rate of 1 million units per month.

Should be clear that Angry Birds IPAD is also available in HD but when Chillingo says that ” with more than 5 million copies sold in six months , Angry Birds game for iPhone is the fastest- selling to date, ” it is unclear whether both are counting the Apple devices .

With the Windows Phone 7 just around the corner, it was expected that Microsoft Pulling a few stones Apple iPhone. However, one would not expect one would compare their own products to do this.

That is exactly what Kevin Turner, Chief Operating Officer of Microsoft, made during his speech at the Worldwide Partner Conference in the company.

“It appears that iPhone 4 can be your View, and I’m fine with that, ” Turner said .

He also mocked the coverage problems of iPhone and its antenna.

“One of the things I want to make sure I know today is that you can use Windows Phone 7 and not have to worry about as they cling to make a phone call “Said Turner.

These attacks were easy to make and while Apple probably not happy with respect to all mockery has received about reception problems in the iPhoneThis does not seem to be affecting sales one bit. The Apple iPhone 4 sold 1.7 million units in its launch weekend and have sold more if Apple had had more available devices. Even with “no recommendation ” of Consumer Reports for this device, we can not see a drop in sales at some time soon .

To be fair , these were only two lines drawn from a long speech, and because it was a Microsoft event where you think they should give their products some of which stand before directly attacking the competition. One sometimes preferred to have heard more features and benefits of Windows Phone 7.

However, one can believe that this new operating system Microsoft at hand can achieve a strong impact on the market, but still can not be sure , at least until you have a walking device in our hands

No further details so far beyond that will be in California and will be related iPhone 4.

“Apple changed its philosophy to hold it Different Think different ” , I heard out there and there is no doubt that they had to go for more serious explanation .

That said , we clarify : during the last days George Hotz (Better known as Geohot , the first to make jailbreak to the iPhone original ) claimed having made jailbreak to the iPhone 4But also said they may not publish the proceedings. After this he decided to renounce all these activities at once. A sad moment.

But do not worry , as the person known as MuscleNerd and planetbeing are working on it, and getting toGeohot miss it a little less.

And yes, that is Cydia operating in a iPhone 4. For those who do not know Cydia applications is an alternative market that is only available after having done jailbreak to the iPhone.

So not only iPhone 4 you have jailbreak, it was also unlocked, meaning that we can work on any GSM network , regardless of which network originally ” belonged ” (such as AT & T).

As for the bad news, not yet published any guide or tutorial or something like that, to achieve the result we see in the picture above , so the only thing left is to wait, but we believe it is something to be take a long leave .

Based on the success of the browser Opera Mini on AppStore, Mozilla Today its almost -browser sent to the AppStore of Apple awaiting approval , and the company seems quite sure it’ll be .

Then ask , what is Firefox Home? , and why not become a browser? .

Well, it seems that instead of being a direct replacement for Safari, Firefox Home acts as a bridge between your desktop version of Firefox and your iPhone. This is crucial, because the apps that duplicate the functionality of IOS native applications get a direct rejection of the App Store no second chances.

Firefox Home uses the extension Sync Firefox to sync our bookmarks and history in our iPhone, And- this is more interesting, we will slip from the Firefox tabs open our iPhoneSomething akin to functionality Chrome -to -Phone in Android 2.2.

One can search and view any of our pages in our history or favorites , and also see our tabs open on the desktop, directly from our iPhone. Once you find the page you are looking for, we can see directly into Safari (As to sympathize with Apple) or directly from the Firefox Home (Which you may not sympathize much). One can also send links via e- mail.

Mozilla confidently said on his blog that “once Firefox Home accepted in App Store, we will advise you and show you how to urge the iPhone or iPod Touch. So, in simple words, stay tuned to our blog- or – for more news of the approval process .

As I read IntoMobile Apple could face a lawsuit by the law firm Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff formed by them and which was already at the forefront of the demand to Facebook and Zynga (The creators of Farmville) On policy issues rather questionable ads .

Like most of us know , the truth is that it was pretty hard not to hear the iPhone 4 is having serious problems coverage by the antenna system you use and how subjected, Which has led to anger , laughter and indignation. This has highlighted the terminal and even Apple do not know for sure how willBut we all know that Apple thought things many more times than usual before a step . The only thing I have spoken is that, according to Steve Jobs, this is not really a problem.

At the moment what Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff are doing is a popular call for all those customers affected , affected and goats get in touch with them to share their experiences, And so got to have sufficient resources (and people ) as to launch a class action lawsuit against Apple. As I said, the Cupertino recently have wanted to say about the problems you are suffering a terminal, and not lift more controversial ask their users to remain vigilant . ” Attentive ? What? I do not think a good response , especially a company as seemingly professional with years of good work behind him. I seem to be the treatment they deserve their faithful, and that is why I would personally demand take its course, perhaps the only way Batteries are made to do something.

Now according to people AppleInsider, user support forums iPhone 4 reported that Apple employees said they were going to perform an update IOS 4 to solve the problem of reception.

today is expected to receive the update but still no news interesting that Apple would respond this quickly to bury this loaf as soon as possible.

4.0.1 IOS fix problems with the calibration of radio frequency baseband happens when performing a frequency shift which generates the iPhone 4 is left without service.

Of course these figures we have to clarify that not only U.S. sales , which almost certainly will be the majority , but we have to add countries like Britain , France, Germany and Japan that also sold the new iPhone 4 the first day with the U.S. But still, is the product that has sold best in the history of Apple over the iPhone 3G and IPAD.

Of course this comes with Apple launching surprise attached as a bad joke (feature Some call it ) , the great problem of signal loss in iPhone 4 finger touching the two antennas of GSM and Wi -Fi , Bluetooth and GPS, has dazzled more than any other of its characteristics , leaving their launch quite touched. Of course Apple has been quick to say that it is a manufacturing fault , it is rather a problem that may resolve with an update software.

The fact is that however much bother to have this big problem of construction ( or software, we’ll see ), it becomes your turn for the fourth time in one of the best smartphones market . Some might say it is another piece of Apple’s marketing , fine, but is still selling a lot and any other brand now reaches them , where is the problem?

Although the market smartphones is more divided than ever and losing iPhone bellows in the lists of handsets sold and the use of mobile internet statistics company engaged to do market research , hopefully a couple of months to come out another study to see what Apple is once again level .

Spoiler : high.

         Two serious problems even though Apple has not yet officially released the new iPhone 4. Two problems that seem to be related to hardware so that repair is even more problematic , particularly with GSM signal reception and yellow spots on the famous screen Retina Display.

          Upon receiving , it seems that holding the phone with her hands off coverage … yes, it is as is, strange, rare and extremely disturbing iPhone this great error. One person has recorded a video problem to illustrate , but basically if holding the iPhone in April with one hand touching the metal part that is used as an antenna, lost in seconds coverage on your carrier , but to make it more strange, it looks with a call while holding the phone , does not lose the connection, so you can be something related to how to represent the coverage of this indicator.

           And it is not a localized problem , it is generally Gizmodo has compiled a long list of videos that show this problem.

         The second problem is the screen, the famous Retina Display although it has a resolution of the scandal, is debuting with a serious problem. In some iPhone 4 when you turn the screen and put it in white, we can see how there a large yellow spot on the screen, a kind of burnt on the screen .

               The bad , no, the worst thing is that if you go to a Genius Bar at an Apple Store can not you change the phone because there is no change terminals , all are offered for sale or reserved .

Although there are similar applications in other countries, Spain has been the AXA Group , with its insurers AXA General Insurance and Direct InsuranceThe first to launch two iPhone applications that allow their customers to report an accident from the terminal. These applications, called AXA Contigo and Direct Auto Insurance Service promise to expedite all procedures related to a car accident .

The applications used , for example , to send pictures of the accident and the condition of vehicles , as well as friendly or part of the registration of another vehicle, if any. The user can also send explanatory comments on the accident. After sending all the data, you receive a text message confirming the opening of the loss.

Apart from these procedures directly related to insurance, the two applications also offer the ability to search the nearest repair shop , call emergency services if needed or call a tow truck to tow the vehicle. Both applications are free and the only thing the customer has to do after install is enter your details and number of your insurance policy .

7. A final tap “Install” , and are ready to destroy our 3G data plan back
