There has been news of an updated Apple TV recently which will head to market just a few months ago. A trusted source affirmed that they will be releasing a $99 version of the set top box. This is a similarly sized and packed with internals akin to that of the iPhone 4 (A4 CPU, 16GB of flash storage), and will introduce new iTunes streaming services the box could take advantage of. Other information on the projects was not very good. The box won’t be capable of handling 1080i or 1080p video. In its place it will only push out 720p clips. Stories has been circulating and for much inside discussion, that this has something to do with the A4’s inability to crank on higher resolution content. In addition, the device will be getting apps and apparently an App Store entry, though it’s uncertain if there will be cross-pollination between iPad and iPhone / iPod touch offerings and new Apple TV applications.
Apple will be officially changing the name of the device to iTV. Fascinatingly, that was the name of the Apple TV when it was originally announced by the company. Apple certainly has been creating a lot of innovations for their items to reach to its consumers. It’s certainly is not new for Apple to be creating this kind of device since it has been one of the most famous brand there is.

Apple has announced that its popular iPhone4 model will go on sale in an additional 17 countries on Friday, July 30.

The latest edition of iPhone went on sale in France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. in late June. The sale created a carnival-like atmosphere and drawing tens of thousands of eager fans to Apple stores and retail partners.
The iPhone is Apple’s main growth driver and is expected to soon become its biggest source of revenue. The latest version will be in 88 countries by September — the company’s fastest-ever global product roll-out.
“It’s going to take us a little longer to get government approval there,” he said.
The iPhone 4 is now offering different applications which can be bought in any local apple store. Sales and promotions such as these will create so much attention since it is one of the most craved gadgets in today’s time.

FaceTime, the video calling application for the iPhone 4, intend to transfigure the way we communicate on our cell phones. The application is exceptionally difficult to use. The obstacle is not a technical one. It’s a social one.
“How do you know whether or not someone is available to speak with you on FaceTime?” asked Sol Lipman, an entrepreneur in Santa Cruz, Calif. “That’s a big barrier to using it. We want to remove that barrier.”
Mr. Lipman created an application called FacePlant that shows users which of their contacts can receive video calls — those who have an iPhone 4 and are on a Wi-Fi network. (FaceTime does not yet work over cellular networks.)
The application, which will be available for free once it is approved by Apple, monitors the Wi-Fi status of contacts with iPhone 4s and also using FacePlant, and flashes a green light next to their names when they are available to video chat. Users can then call available friends from within the application. FacePlant propose a privacy mode to specify when a user is linked to Wi-Fi but, say, watching a screening of “Inception” and unable to chat. It also permit people to leave each other video voice mail. Ultimately, Apple is likely to allow FaceTime to sprint over cellular networks. Mr. Lipman doesn’t see that as removing the need for his application.
“Just like on I.M., status is really important,” he said. “Only whether or not you are available to take a video call is more important than starting an instant messaging chat.”
Mr. Lipman, who previously co-founded two other start-ups, a mobile social network called RallyUp and 12seconds, which lets users send brief video tweets, said he thought FacePlant could be useful beyond the iPhone 4.
In addition to the rumors that the next versions of the iPad and iPod Touch will come equipped with front-facing cameras to facilitate video chatting, Apple has outlined plans to make FaceTime an open standard, allowing it to work on other devices.
“We’re expecting it to appear elsewhere, on Android devices and PCs,” Mr. Lipman said. “As soon as those releases are available, we will build applications for it.”
“Our goal is to become the main application for FaceTime,” he said.

Apple opened its second store in China on Saturday which drawled crowds of all ages as early as 5 am. Some people drove several hours or flew in from different provinces in china for a chance to be there on the opening of the Apple store. Many hoped to catch a glimpse of the iPhone 4 or of Steve Jobs, but were disappointed.
Bystanders were interview and said:
“I didn’t come to see a specific product. I just see it as a chance for us Apple fans to party,” said Penguin, owns a Macbook and an iPhone.
Apple’s retail stores are known to create buzz and serve as successful a marketing tool for the brand in its home market, which has left many wondering why it took so long for Apple to open more of the stores in China, the world’s second largest PC market after the U.S. According to IDC, Apple computers still make up less than 1% of PC unit shipments, and iPhones make up less than 1% of handset sales in China.
Those dints stop a total of 150fans from waiting overnight to be among the first to go into the Apple store. One 20-year-old customer from Zhejiang province took ka buss to Shanghai last night with his friends, hoping to see the iPhone 4. “I guess it may not be available in the store, but it was still worth coming. I came to experience the atmosphere and the culture!” he said.
The building is made entirely of glass, similar to Apple’s flagship New York City store on Fifth Avenue. It has a glass cube entrance that leads customers underground to a space covering some 1,500 square meters, bigger than Apple’s first store in Beijing, which opened two years ago.
Apple said it expects to open a second store in Shanghai, but an opening time has not yet been released. The company has said it plans to open 25 new Apple stores in China by the end of 2011, but gave no additional details on those stores at the opening.
