Daily Tech Digest

Going by the previous record of iPhone variants getting released in Apple’s WWDC Conference in June every year, it can be predicted that the next iPhone 5 would be released in June as well. Some of the rumored features include new OS ie.  iOS 5, revamped MobileMe service in which the prices would be slashed as well, a A5 Dual core chip for much richer experience with graphics and many more features. Check out CNET and Techradar for more insight.

The other things that are also poised to be released, this summer is next generation desktop Apple Lion OS. It’s a marriage between iOS and Mac OSX with many new features taken from its mobile counterpart. It includes many cool features like grid layout of Apps, full screen Apps, autosaving and resuming features.(Source: CNET UK)

Hmmm, going to a restaurant for dinner and finding iPad 2 on the menu !!! This is exactly what one of the restaurant’s called “Tableau” is doing in Soho, London, UK.

They are using iPad 2 as a plate to serve food on, and an iPod touch just beside it, to give you a live show as to how the food is being prepared by the chefs before it arrives on “iPad plate”. The iPad shows a picture with a plate, also giving you an insight into the amount of calories you are gonna consume today, even before the meal arrives on the tablet. (Source : Cnet UK)

Although, its very impractical (they don’t have rims to hold on to sauces or other runny items), it’s still a good fun to see someone going as far as this, just to show their liking towards Apple’s innovation.

The restaurant did told they have to throw away at least 2-3 iPad’s daily as they get damaged due to food or liquid spillage and just not suitable for knives and forks being used on it (although screen is scratch resistant, it can’t resist damage caused by the use of such cutlery because its not made for one).

So, to all the Apple lovers out there, What would be the next wackiest thing can u do to show ur loyalty towards a brand ?

Yes, you read it right, all the existing and future iPhones can be be jail broken unless Apple comes out with a completely new phone ie. iPhone 5 (if rumors are to be believed). The exploit found by Chronix team and Pod2g confirmed on twitter that they have a found a Bootrom exploit not dependent on what version of software running.

Check out the website iPhonedownloadblog that has got all the tools and instructions on how to Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone.

It means that the Apple can only patch the exploit, not by a firmware update, but through a hardware upgrade.

Apple is gonna release the 4.2 update in the coming week or so and the jailbreak is also ready to be rolled out at the same time.

At the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC, 2010) iPhone 4 was showcased by Steve Jobs and also confirmed the UK launch date of 24th June. Mobile phone operators which include O2, Orange and Vodafone will launch this new version of iPhone in the coming two weeks. The tariffs are yet to be made public but O2 are giving options wherein if the contract is due for an upgrade in June or July can get iPhone for free or if you want an early upgrade can pay a cost towards the phone and get it as soon as its released.

There are many new features integrated into the new iPhone 4 that includes a great display called by Apple as “Retina Display” with a resolution of 960×640 pixels as compared to the previous version of iPhone which had only 480×320 pixels resolution. It has also got front-facing camera that can be used for video calling named by Apple as “Face time”, the good thing about it is that it has got two camera’s which can be swapped while on-the-call.

The iPhone 4 has got a faster A4 processor which is used by its new counterpart iPad. It has also got two microphones which has the feature of noise cancellation and a 5 Mega Pixel camera with HD recording and also includes video editing software built-in into the phone. As far as the connectivity is concerned it has got 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity coupled with a quad-band HSPA with 7.2 Mbps and 5.8  Mbps download and upload link.

iPhone uses for the first time the new OS called IOS (former name Apple OS) which is being used on both iPhone and iPad.

iPhone will also feature a  iBooks e-reader app which was initially developed for iPad.
