Google Sync: now with mail server search and appointment confirmation on iOS →
Beginning today, users can finally perform mail server searches and confirm appointment requests from their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This means that you’ll be able to search for messages in your entire mailbox, not just for emails stored on your device
About time! Now I can finally lower my “Mail Days to Sync” setting from “No Limit” to something more convenient like “1 Week”.
Ben the Bodyguard →
Ben the Bodyguard is finally available on the AppStore. Their website was launched some time ago and created allot of hype. If you haven’t seen the website yet it’s sure worth a look.
The Heist sold over 500,000 Paid downloads in 1 week →
Phill Ryu:
In just a little over 6.5 days, The Heist has racked up a staggering 501,813 sales at 99¢, totaling well over $300,000 in revenue. To put that in perspective, our last chart-topping app, Voices, managed to clear 300,000 sales… in its first month, meaning The Heist has been outselling it at a rate of nearly 8 fold! Makes us wonder if we outsold the entire paid Android marketplace this week
iWork for iPhone & iPod Touch →
Apple just announced iWork for iPhone & iPod Touch. Best of al it’s a universal binary. So existing owners will be able to use it on iPhone and iPod Touch now to in addition to their iPads. Judging by the fact that WWDC is only days away, I’d say the only reason they announced this now is because there is no more time left during the keynote.
Earlier today Apple already confirmed Steve Jobs would be present and that the topics would be: iOS 5, Mac OSX Lion and they even confirmed they would talk about iCloud.
Another interesting concept video.

Aged to Perfection
There has been no shortage of people trying to come up with a new notification system for iOS because, let’s face it, the current notification system sucks and people want better. I haven’t really found any valid suggestions to how this problem can be solved. All proposed ideas I’ve seen so far felt like “hacks”. Andreas Hellqvist is the latest to give the notification system in iOS a shot. Unlike the other proposed solutions he decided to stick to stock iOS controls which gives his solution a more native feel. There is however no doubt in my mind that Apple will release or at-least announces a new notification system for iOS 5 during WWDC this year. Andreas’s solution looks really slick though and I suggest you have a look at his 2 min video.

- Why is Apple tracking the location of my iPhone? Apple is not tracking the location of your iPhone. Apple has never done so and has no plans to ever do so.
3 Major Issues with the Latest iPhone Tracking “Discovery” →
I’ve been following the recent news stories about the iPhone’s “hidden tracking system” very closely. The main stream media was obviously all over this. After all, who doesn’t love a good scandal involving Apple? It’s guaranteed to get a lot of hits. As a geek I’ve learned to take every single news article about Apple with a huge grain of salt, especially when it reaches the main stream media. In all this madness I was glad to discover an interesting article by somebody who actually investigated the issue at hand and didn’t blatantly copy & paste headlines. The man actually wrote a book on it before this “news” ever came out:
Alex Levinson wrote:
Apple is not harvesting this data from your device. This is data on the device that you as the customer purchased and unless they can show concrete evidence supporting this claim – network traffic analysis of connections to Apple servers – I rebut this claim in full.
I highly recommend you read his blog post on the subject.
I want an iPhone 4 already.
This post was created purely out of hatred towards my slow-as-fuck iPhone 3G.
Couldn’t agree more
