  • Apple and AT&T in hot water with FCC

    Many have said that the process Apple uses to approve and disapprove apps for its App Store seems arbitrary. When Apple denies apps developers often get nothing more than a cryptic explanation of why the app was denied.

    iphone-3gs

    The latest app to get the denial treatment from Apple was the Google voice app. InformationWeek reports that the FCC sent letters Friday to both Apple and AT&T seeking more information on how apps are approved and disapproved. AT&T says it has no bearing over the approval of apps on the App Store. Apple has said that it disapproves apps that duplicate functionality already available on the device like browsers and music player apps. You would think if Microsoft can’t exclude browsers from its computers that the same would apply to Apple and its smartphones. Perhaps the FCC can get to the bottom of the story.

  • Any fan of comic books or super heroes like Super Man or Spider Man knows the name Stan Lee. Lee created some of the coolest heroes to ever hit the big screen or TV. I spent many a day as a child watching cartoons of Lee’s creations and live action films.

    Stan Lee has announced a new and exclusive comic for the iPhone called Stripperella. The sultry super heroine stars in an exclusive four-volume comic book series written by Lee and with art by Anthony Winn.

    The comic is only available on the App Store. The mild mannered identity of Stripperella is Exotica Jones, an exotic dancer who fights crime at night… or does a striper fight crime during the day. I’m not sure, but if you are a fan of Lee’s work this may be the app for you.

    Appsto.re, iPhone app URL shortener

    Despite many other URL shortening services out there, here is another new service on this field: appsto.re. It focuses specifically on iTunes links.

    appstore-screen

    Why use appsto.re URL’s? According to them:

    • They contain the name of your app, making people more likely to click.
    • They take people straight to iTunes, increasing the chance people will buy your app.
    • They are short! So they are easy to share on twitter or where ever.

    Apple iPhone sales grow 626%

    Yeah, the economy is bad. We all know that, you only have to turn on the TV or read anything to know that. Despite the poor economy and tanking computer sales Apple has been able to continue turning impressive profits.

    Apple also gets some serious help from its world-beating iPhone. According to Apple’s recently announced financials for fiscal Q3 2009, it increased iPhone sales by a whopping 636%. That has to make Steve Ballmer’s sphincter tone tight enough to rip a plug out of his office chair.

    Apple says that it sold 5.2 million iPhones during the quarter. While iPhone sales grew, sales of the iPod were down 7% to 10.2 million. I am betting iPhone sales are hurting the iPod with subsidized iPhone pricing about the same as some iPod models.

    Before I was a full time geek, I spent many years working in the health care field. One of the classes I hated the most in college was pharmacology. Learning all the possible interactions to different medications was more than I really wanted to know. I only had to learn a small portion of the drugs, I feel for doctors and pharmacists that need to know most all interactions.

    WebMD has announced a new and free application for the iPhone in conjunction with Medscape that is available now on the App Store. The application puts the information doctors need to find drug interactions and more on the iPhone for easy access.

    The Medscape mobile app has a database of 6,000 generic and brand name drugs along with supplements and antidotes. A full drug interaction checker is offered for combinations of up to 30 drugs and supplements as well. Other features include CME courses and access to medical news.

    iPhone spreads across the globe

    The iPhone is spreading across the globe, according to the latest monthly report from AdMob. The report revealed that users from countries other than U.S. is increasingly growing.

    The report found that 54% of iPhone and iPod touch users worldwide in June were in the U.S., down from 61% in January. This signals that international adoption has picked up since then, although the U.S. still has by far the biggest proportion of users of any country.

    In another news,  Apple’s recently announced that it increased iPhone sales by a whopping 636%.

    After selling 5.2 million iPhones in fiscal Q3, including a million units that sold in the first three days, Apple has announced being unable to make enough 3GSs to meet demand, based on Apple comments.

    iphone3gs

    Huge demand for the latest iPhone has helped restrict it to 18 launch countries out of the 80 where Apple currently sells iPhones. With demand for the new iPhone 3GS far outpacing supply, Apple COO Tim Cook admitted today that limited stock could briefly delay the planned launch of the new iPhone in more countries overseas. Cook said Apple expects to have the iPhone 3GS available in most nations where the iPhone 3G is currently available by the end of the  September quarter.

    Cook said channel iPhone inventory was flat sequentially in comparison with the last quarter and that the “channel is not loaded.” He admitted that with demand for the iPhone 3GS currently very high, it’s possible that some overseas launches could be delayed.

    The company also hopes to continue to expand its reach. “The world has more than 80 countries,” Cook said. During a question and answer session, Cook was asked about Apple’s plans to enter China with the iPhone. “Nothing to add today specifically,” Cook answered, “other than it continues to be a priority project and we hope to be there within a year.” In other words, no progress really at all to report.

  • One of the biggest improvements Firmware 3.0 brought to the iPhone was universal search and while it’s included in select Applications already, here’s a tip to empower your search from the Mail App.

    If you have a MobileMe account added to Mail already, just go in to your mailbox and flick until you reach the top of screen. Tap in your query in to the search bar and scroll to the bottom of the list of results. You should see “Continue Search on Server,” at the very bottom which will look through any mail you have stored on Apple’s servers.
