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.

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.

A San Francisco officer has tracked down a man accused of swiping an Apple iPhone out of a woman’s hands and has been shocked when police found him only nine minutes later.
HOW? It turns out the phone had been tracking his every move.
The iPhone was being used to test a new, real-time GPS tracking application, and the woman holding it was an intern for the software’s maker, Mountain View-based Covia Labs.
Covia CEO David Kahn had sent the intern into the street to demonstrate the software. Police say Horatio Toure snatched it and sped away on a bicycle.Khan was watching a live map of the phone’s location on a computer and says he was immediately struck by how quickly the image began moving down the street. Police arrested Toure nine minutes later, and the intern identified him as the thief.
So for those who are so keen on getting an iPhone especially those who do it by force or cheating, you might as well think twice as to not embarrass yourself. The apple iPhone is very useful in terms of tracking and keeping tabs of peole who are exposed to violence and crime. Thieves are now being tracked through GPS which is very convenient for the users and totally inconvenient for the criminals.
