Apple to launch tablet in spring 2010

From Yahoo! News:


Apple Inc is preparing to launch a tablet personal computer in late March or April, with manufacturer partners poised to roll out as many as 1 million units per month, according to an Oppenheimer research note.


The highly anticipated tablet is expected to pitch Apple into the digital book market popularized by Amazon.com's Kindle e-reader. Apple declined to comment.


Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner said the new tablet could boost Apple's earnings per share by 25 cents to 38 cents per quarter, assuming that it sells 1 million to 1.5 million units each quarter at an average price of $1,000 and a corporate average net income margin of 22 percent.


"Our checks into Apple's supply chain indicate that the manufacturing cogs for the tablet are creaking into action and should begin to hit a mass market stride in February," Reiner wrote.


"The February ramp schedule suggests a late March or April commercial release, since Apple will need to build at least 5-6 weeks of inventory before going live."


He said the tablet will have a 10.1-inch multitouch LCD screen similar to that of Apple's iPhone.


Apple has also approached book publishers to distribute their content electronically, and has offered them a revenue cut of 70 percent without requiring exclusivity, Reiner said.


He said that compares favorably to the Kindle's 50 percent deal, and that Kindle only offers a 70 percent cut to publishers that give Amazon exclusive rights.


"As innovative as it is, we believe the Kindle has disgruntled the publishing industry (book, newspaper, and magazine) by demanding exclusivity, disallowing advertising, and demanding a wolfish cut of revenue," Reiner wrote. "The tablet is set to change that."


Reiner forecast Apple's fiscal 2010 profit at $8.39 per share, compared with $6.29 in fiscal 2009, saying his estimate has not yet factored in the new device.


Shares of Apple were up 1.6 percent at $192.89 on Nasdaq.

iPhone in a Blender!

The “My Account” iPhone App from Rogers / Fido

A few months ago, Rogers and Fido updated their websites to provide customers with the ability to view their wireless usage in almost real-time. The information was updated every four hours and gave users a great tool to track wireless usage.

To expand on that functionality and to set themselves apart from the other two Canadian iPhone carriers, Rogers and Fido have released new apps called “My Account”. The apps require no inputting of account credentials and simply pull everything from your iPhone network connection and SIM card.


Both Rogers and Fido each have their own version of the app and both apps provide customers with their wireless usage. Like the website, users can see minutes, text message and data usage right from their iPhone, which updates every 20 minutes instead of four hours as on the Rogers/Fido websites. The apps also allow customers to view their current balance and make a payment via credit card.


These apps do not support Corporate Paid/Reimbursed Accounts or Prepaid accounts. You also must be on 3G or EDGE for the apps to retrieve your account information. If you are on WiFi, you will have to turn WiFi off and connect to 3G or EDGE. This is annoying but hopefully a fix for this will come in the future.


Both of the Rogers My Account and Fido My Account apps are available on the iTunes App Store for free.

What happened to the Appulo.us Troll Bridge?

Since November 16th, 2009 Kayek introduced the much hated / loved Troll bridge at appulo.us. The largely popular site full of links to free iPhone and iPod applications cracked and posted by "App Pirates" around the world.

The Troll Bridge was introduced as a temporary solution to millions of hits bringing down the sites server. Instead of bringing the server down completly to correct the issue, Kayek introduced a question and answer "block" only giving access to users who submitted the correct answer. The idea was to slow down the hits directly on the server, allowing upgrades to take place without cutting the server off completely.

The question typically changed every few hours, but as of November 21st, 2009, the same question: "Kyek modified a Greasemonkey plugin to allow you to see if an Appulous IPA link was dead before you clicked it. The original plugin was the ________ Links Checker." with an answer of "cavern" has remained for the past 5 days. This brings several questions of our own to the table:

Is this the end of the Troll Bridge?
Will the question change?
Are the servers fixed?
Is Kayek on Vacation?
Only Kayek can answer these questions I supposed, but I'm certain there is anticipation throughout the "App Community" regarding this. Keep your eye on this blog for updates as we will be monitoring Appulo.us daily and will post new information as it comes in. Stay iTuned!!

App Pirates Upset Over Appulo.us Troll Bridge

Posted by Eric @ http://erictric.com/

It’s a story that was bound to happen. And if you own or know somebody with a jailbroken iPod Touch or iPhone, chances are you’ve heard of Appulo.us. Essentially, Appulo.us is an underground black market for apps found in Apple’s iTunes Store. The only difference is that they’re completely free. Consider it app pirating.

As of recently, the powers that be at Appulo.us have taken a bold, bold move. They’ve essentially temporarily shut down free-for-all access to the app store as a result of server overload. The creator of the site, in order to prevent servers from crashing, has set up what he calls a “troll bridge,” and boy, has that got app pirates upset.

According to the creator, it seems to be working because many simply cannot find an answer to the riddle:

“Kyek modified a Greasemonkey plugin to allow you to see if an Appulous IPA link was dead before you clicked it. The original plugin was the ________ Links Checker.”

Now, if you know anything about the interwebs, you’ll know that Google will easily provide you with an answer to this — but if someone’s n00bish mindset somehow prevents them from using resources, then I suppose the troll bridge really does work.

Kyek (the creator of Appulo.us) is stressing that the troll bridge is only a temporary measure, until more servers are put in place to distribute the traffic load. He goes on to say that this could be days, or even weeks from now.
