Whoops

Sorry Blogger.
As of November 23, 2010, we migrated our blog to Wordpress.
You can access it at howsmyapp.com.
You may be thinking that because of the post title that we regretted doing so.
We don't.
Suck it, Blogger, Google.
Your service sucks.
I'd rather use a free host + self hosted wordpress then use your blogging crap.

iOS 4.3 Rumours?

After waiting so long for the release of iOS 4.2 which was delayed because of issues discovered last minute, Apple may be releasing iOS 4.3.

iOS 4.2.1 a Significant Update to the iOS Platform

The long awaited update of Apple's famed iOS 4.2.1 is now out after multiple delay of its release due to major issues found last minute. iPhone and iPod users didn't gain much updates like they did since the first release of iOS 4.0 but iPad users were the luckiest with this release. iPad users can now enjoy sorting their apps in folders, switch from app to app without losing their progress or work in the other apps. Aside from those features, on top of other improvements, Apple improved the performance of it's built in internet browser, and mail app (a thing all iDevice users can enjoy). The question remains though: are those new features a reply to what Android is doing to compete with Apple's iOS platform or is it the continuation of Apple's superiority in the digital content and electronic market?

World iPad

Apple is rumoured to be preparing for what is called the World iPad: an iPad that works with both CDMA and GSM networks pursuing the hope of making the magical tablet compatible with 3G carriers internationally.

Master Volume

iDevice users - especially iPad users - have been waiting for iOS 4.2 that was rumoured to be released last week but Apple pulled it off because a major Wi-Fi issue found. This week Apple released the second Gold Master of 4.2 - usually known as pre-release or RC. Until now it's been reported that the Wi-Fi issue has been fixed but the question remains: is there going to be another issue that will make Apple push the release again or is it just a rumor started by Apple to hold up the release of unlock for the iPhone?
Never the less, few features have been added to 4.2 that makes it a special update (at least for iPad users): interface tweaks, alongside some functionality added, for example a volume control tweak that can be accessed from the home screen, in the multitasking window.
Until now this is what Apple have to offer in their long awaited update. Will they add something else before the final release or will they save some things for the next generation of iOS?

Mac OSX 10.6.5 Fixes MacBook Air Video Issues

Apple should update MacBook Air with the new system update rather than letting users do it manually, which will lead to encourage users to buy the new product Apple produced earlier this month. The issue was reported to be a software based bug. In rare occurrences faults in drivers or applications leads to this kind of issue in display, and that was the case in the issues that were found in the new MacBook Air.
