on the operating tableMuch hoopla has been raised about the life, or lack thereof, of the iPod's battery. And while many users of the first 5GB iPod model are still using the battery with no problem whatsoever, the fact is that cells eventually run out of juice. You won't wake up one day to find your battery dead; rather, expect a long, slow descent that involves shorter and shorter battery life between recharges. Eventually, you're going to have to switch out the battery… Continue reading »

Apple Tablet Pen Input?Q. How much will it cost?
A. Most reports place it between $800 and $1,000. The easiest way to do a comparison to the UK is to look at a product that is $800 in the US (the 2.53GHz Mac mini), and a $1,000 product (the white MacBook); then check the corresponding prices in the UK.

So that would give it a price between £650 and £800. To our minds even a £650 price seems a tad high, although we certainly wouldn't rule out a device with an initial premium price point… Continue reading »

So, we’re less than two weeks away from the start of Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference, where the company is widely expected to unveil a new iPhone. While we can’t be sure of that – Apple rumors have a way of taking on a life of their own – it’s still fun to speculate. Here’s a roundup of the latest rumors about what a new iPhone will look like:

One of the most detailed reports about a new iPhone came from a Chinese Website, on which someone posted a list of features that the new phone will offer. They include: 32 GB of storage (up from the current high of 16GB); a 3.2-megapixel camera (up from 2 megapixels) with autofocus; a 600-MHz processor (up from 400 MHz); 256 MB of RAM; and an FM receiver.

Those specs sound great, but it seems odd to me that Apple would include an FM receiver on the phone. I’d love to see it, but the company hasn’t budged on this point in the past. Its iPods lack FM radios, even though many other MP3 players offer them, so it would be odd to see this feature debut on the iPhone.

John Gruber, a technology pundit who blogs at Daring Fireball, has made a similar prediction about what we might expect to see in a new iPhone. He seconds the notion that we’ll see a faster processor (600 MHz) and more memory (256 MB) and says both of these will dramatically improve the performance of the phone. He also says the improved camera will include video recording capabilities.

The Apple iPhone Apps blog, an Apple enthusiast site, also is offering a detailed list of the features that might be found on the new iPhone. The site says the new phones will be available in 32GB and 16GB versions, for US$299 and US$199 respectively. The new iPhone will feature a 3.2-megapixel camera with video recording, double the memory and processing power, a built-in FM transmitter, an Apple logo on the back that lights up, a rubber-tread backing, and a built-in compass.

The site also says that the new phone will feature an OLED screen, which is slightly different from the LCD touch-screen used on the current iPhone. An OLED screen would use less power, and therefore increase the iPhone’s battery life. But OLED screens are rare and relatively expensive.

The Apple iPhone Apps blog even has a release date for the new phone: July 17. They say that the phone will be announced at the WWDC in early June, and will hit stores in July.

All of these reports sound intriguing, for sure. But whether they will be proven accurate is another question. In less than two weeks, however, we will know for sure. And Cygnett will be ready – you should see the new product development stuff that is piled around the office – amazing!
