iPhone on China Mobile

Apple and China Mobile has returned conversations to lunch iPhone on China. The motivation was Apple giving up revenue share.
Maybe Steve Jobs realized that just iPhone's device profit over China Mobile's 400 million subscribers is a lot better deal than keep fighting :-)

Apple Allowing Free Ad-Supported Apps on App Store

Medialets, a company that got off the ground June 1, is providing a mechanism for developers to include ads in their applications and make them free to iPhone users on the App Store. Revenues are split between Medialets and the developer—Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) gets none. Developers need to drop a code into their applications for the ads to show up correctly and allow for Medialets to offer metrics and tracking info on each ad campaign's performance.

It sounds like just the kind of thing Apple wouldn't tolerate: a company partnering with others to offer applications for free on its App Store and then monetizing their work through ads. But Medialets CEO Eric Litman says that's exactly the case and that none of the advertising revenue will go to Apple's coffers. "It's in Apple's best interest" to see developers prosper on the new distribution model, Litman said. Perhaps it doesn't hurt that the longtime online executive worked at NeXT Computer Inc., a company founded by Steve Jobs in 1985 after he left Apple Computer.

By the way, the release of the App Store is schedule for today! I'm waiting....

An VoIP application for iPhone

Fring has just pre-released a version of its instant messenger for the iPhone (release).

I've just downloaded it into my iPhone, but I couldn't get it to work... It keeps trying to connect, with no success... :-(

Anyway, according to the site, the app integrates others services, such as Skype, MSN, Google Talk, ICQ, Twitter, Yahoo! & AIM, with a single contacts list.

Take a look in the video bellow

O2 to cut iPhone price to £169

The iPhone is set to be cut to £169 as part of a limited offer from O2.

The £100 reduction, which will apply to the 8GB device on any O2 tariff, will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) and will run until 1 June.

It follows T-Mobile's decision to reduce the price of the handset from €399 to €99 in Germany.

With price cuts and iPhone stock reportedly running low and not being replenished in the US, France and UK, speculation is mounting about the release date of the 3G version of the device.

The price reduction follows O2's decision to increase the minutes and texts included in its £35 a month tariffs to 600 minutes and 500 texts in, up from 200 minutes and 200 texts.

The 16GB iPhone will not be included in the offer, and will remain £329.

More 3G iPhone rumours

According to Computerworld, the brand new 3G iPhone will be released with a new chipset (Infineon's S-Gold 3) that will allow it to support 5 megapixels cameras and supports HSDPA up to 72.Mbps.

In the other hand, folks at TG Daily are reporting that are not going to be any major differences, except speedier network and a 2.5 mm thinner body. They also reports that is going to be an 8 GB version for $399, a 16 GB version for $499, and (possibly) a 32 GB version for $599

I was expecting to find a front side camera for video conferences...

3G iPhone in 60 days ?

At a press luncheon during last week's CTIA Wireless 2008 event in Las Vegas, AT&T Mobility president Ralph de la Vega said that most of the carrier's high-end devices will be 3G-enabled "within months." When asked to clarify that statement to see it included the iPhone, he essentially said yes.
Also, Walt Mossberg, the legendary technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal, made the prediction during an executive summit held by Beet.tv last week. At about 6:30 into the clip, he starts talking about wireless broadband, and the iPhone. Mossberg notes that the iPhone already offers a pretty good video experience with its iPod capabilities, and then shoots: "It will be 3G in 60 days."
By the way, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference will be hosted on San Francisco in June 9. Almost 60 days from now ;-)

iPhone for only €99

T-Mobile Germany has slashed the cost of an 8GB iPhone to a mere 99 euros ($156) from 399 euros ($628), in what analysts are saying is an attempt to clear the shelves before 3G iPhones hit the market, reports Reuters. The 99 euro phone is still tied to a contract though—one that costs 89 euros ($140) a month and runs for two years. Other analysts questioned whether the sale was just, well, a sale, indicating that the iPhone wasn’t doing as well as hoped for in the German market. Deutsche Telekom (NYSE: DT) which owns T-Mobile said that the network sold 70,000 iPhones since its November launch in January. Since then, there’s been no word on new figures. Shortly after T-Mobile rolled out the iPhone, Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) won an injunction to stop the sales of iPhones in Germany. The injunction was eventually lifted, but T-Mobile said in December that it would consider suing Vodafone if figures revealed the injunction had damaged sales.

Porting to iPhone

Good news for iPhone gamers: Innaworks is developing a tool called alcheMo to ease the porting of Java or J2ME games onto the iPhone. The iPhone doesn’t natively support Java applications — although steps are being taken to change that — so the software instead automatically converts Java code into iPhone code. This kind of automated code conversion is somewhat hit-or-miss, but it does ease the process or porting considerably. This first release is a beta, and there’s no word on an exact release date, but hopefully they’ll finish it up before the release of the AppStore in June.

iPhone SDK & App Store

Today Apple announced the iPhone SDK for the creation of native applications for the iPhone. But as important, they also released the App Store, and with it, their approach or solution to the application distribution issue, a live catalog of applications right on the iPhone, of applications that can be downloaded over-the-air.

iPhone unlocking is dangerous, says Apple

"Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed. Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (www.itunes.com), later this week.

Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones. Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone’s warranty."
