Adobe: There’s No Flash on iPad Because Apple Is Protecting Content Revenue

January 31, 2010

Why is there no Adobe Flash on the iPad? Adobe says it’s not because it’s buggy, as an Apple source claimed this afternoon to CultofMac.com.
It’s because Apple is protecting revenue streams derived from content like movies and games. If users could watch free TV shows on Hulu, they wouldn’t buy them through iTunes.
“It’s pretty clear [...]

iPhoneWorld.ca: iPhone offers internet based calls

January 31, 2010

iPhone World.ca writes:

iphone1

Fans of the iPhone now have another reason to jump up and down and that is the ability to save money by making internet phone calls over AT&Ts cellular network. Apple is allowing new versions of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services to start working on the iPhones.

Actually, during this week (1/25-1/29) Apple started allowing the new versions of many of the iPhones to begin working. Before this week, all iPhone users had to have a wireless internet connection before they could make calls in that manner. The change will allow users to call from anywhere they can find a strong enough 3-G signal.

This is a great deal for iPhone users as they can use the VoIP instead of the cell phones calling software which would ensure they would not use up their monthly minutes on their plan, thus the ability to choose even cheaper plans.

iCall, Inc. explained that their app was the first to be approved for the iPhone by Apple. iPhone users have the ability to download the app and then pay $10 to have unlimited phone calls. They even offer a free option that allows for limited calls to five minutes of talk time and users will have to sit through some ad time at the beginning of the call.

Of course, calls made over the internet may not be as reliable as it all has to do with the strength of the connection and the calling service.

In October, AT&T stated that they would begin to allow iPhone users to make VoIP calls over their network. Apple just started approving apps this week.

iPhoneWorld.ca: Trucking Industry gets their own iPhone App

January 31, 2010

iPhone World.ca writes:

iloadfinder

PCS software released a new iPhone app, the iLoadFinder specifically with the trucking industry in mind. This app is truly a one-of-a-kind app.

The app provides hundreds of Load Boards drivers can choose from when they search for freight to haul. The problem is that most of the Load Boards do not have mobile versions of their websites available for truckers. In addition, not even one integrates with the Apple iPhone until today.

The iLoadFinder reads the location of the iPhones GPS and then retrieves loads that are available within a specific radius of the iPhone. Truck drivers can choose the radius to search, the distance they want the load to travel, and even by origin and destination city, state, and shipper. When the driver finds a load, they can touch the screen to email or telephone the shipper. There are literally thousands of loads posted every day and updates are made every five minutes to ensure that all data is up to date.
