After obtaining preliminary injunctions in a number of countries, Apple's lawyers have managed to block the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia. The injunction although not permanent, stays valid until a full hearing which is scheduled to happen sometime next year.The case which started with Apple claiming infringement of up to 13 patents, at the end came down to two patents, one of which credited Steve Jobs as its inventor.

iOS 5 finally allows users to set custom tones for messages, tweets, voicemails, emails, calendar and Reminder alerts.So in addition to pre-installed tones, Apple has launched a new store within the iTunes Store called the Tone Store where you can buy Alert tones.Apple announced:The iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch now includes the Tone Store — an incredible spectrum of music ringtones and alert tones that can be assigned to any alert setting on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Apple has been selling Ringtones ever since 2007, but Alert tones are being sold for the first time thanks to the introduction of the iOS 5 feature. Ringtones are available for $1.29 and alert tones are available for $0.99 in the Tone Store.There are two ways to get to the new Tone Store. You can either launch the iTunes app and then tap on More tab at the bottom, where you should see Tones as one of the options or you can launch the Settings app and go to Sounds and tap on the relevant alert for which you want to set an Alert tone and swipe up, which should show you the "Buy More Tones" option, tapping on it, opens the iTunes app with the Tones Store.Update: Please note thought we have mentioned iOS 5 in the post, the Tone store is not an iOS 5 only feature, it is also available on iOS 4.x.x as well. But the only way to access the Tone store is via the iTunes app.Do you plan to buy tones from the iTunes Store?

Apple finally launched iCloud yesterday, which stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes it to your iOS devices and computers, automatically keeping everything up to date.With the launch of iCloud, Apple also allows users to redownload music and TV shows to any iOS device just like Apps. However, it is still not possible to redownload movies.The Los Angles Times reports that this may change in the near future as Apple is currently negotiating with major movie studios that will allow iTunes customers to also stream purchased movies to their devices.Apple Inc. is negotiating with Hollywood studios for deals that would let people who buy movies from the iTunes Store watch streaming versions of those movies on Apple devices such as iPads or iPhones without manually transferring them, according to people familiar with the matter.This is not the first time we've heard this possibility. Even before the iCloud launch, we had heard that Apple has been talking to major movie studios in Hollywood over letting users store their movies on Apple's servers thereby letting them access the stored content from a plethora of devices including the iPhone and iPad. The idea, it is said, is to make the devices' hard drive disk space irrelevant by moving all the content the user owns out into the cloud. At that time observers noted that this will help to increase content-purchase among users who may otherwise slow their purchase down for the fear of maxing out their hard drive.According to the report, Apple is close to finalizing deals with the Hollywood studios.Checkout our complete guide on Apple's new iCloud service here.[via Los Angeles Times]TweetRelated PostsiCloud: Apple Signs Deal With Major Music Labels; Negotiating With Film Studios To Include Movies And TV ShowsApple Wants To Stream Movies To iPhone, iPad From iTunes CloudApple’s iCloud To Cost $25 Per Year After Trial Period?Some iCloud Services Maybe Free With Mac OS X LionNew Time Capsule To Get Apple’s A4/A5 Processor; Run iOS And Serve As Local Hub For iCloud
Apple has more than a thousand engineers working on mobile processors, according to a "Veteran" Silicon Valley CEO who knew Steve Jobs personally. Characterized by their low power consumption and high performance, these chips are a vital part of the "Post-PC" future Apple is betting on.Apple employees more than 50,000 people, out of which 30,000 work in retail. The thousand employees working on next generation chips amount to five percent of the company's non-retail staff.The source in a conversation with TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld said:

After months of rumors and speculations, Apple unveiled their hotly anticipated fifth generation iPhone called iPhone 4S at the Let's Talk iPhone event earlier today.As the name suggests, iPhone 4S is not a redesigned iPhone as many of us had hoped, it looks like iPhone 4 but comes with a number of new features and improvements.Here's a list of new features and improvements:A5 processor: iPhone 4S will be powered by Apple's A5 processor that currently powers iPad 2. Apple claims it delivers up to 2 times faster performance and up to 7 times faster graphics compared to iPhone 4's A4 chip.8-Megapixel Camera: iPhone 4S gets an all-new 8 megapixel camera and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. The camera also comes with an improved backside illumination sensor, auto white balance, advanced color accuracy, face detection, and reduced motion blur.HD Video recording: You will be able to shoot 1080p HD video using iPhone 4S. It also comes with image stabalization technology to avoid shaky videos.World Phone: iPhone 4S is a dual mode or world phone, which means it will work on both GSM and CDMA network, which is a boon for CDMA iPhone users as they'll be able to roam GSM networks. Apple claims that iPhone 4S is the first phone to intelligently switch between two antennas to transmit and receive, so call quality is better.Faster Network Speeds: Apple has doubled the maximum HSDPA data speeds to 14.4 Mbps in iPhone 4S.Improved Battery Life: iPhone 4S comes with improved battery life even though it comes with a faster processor.Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G (from 7 hours in case of iPhone 4), up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM)Standby time: Up to 200 hoursInternet use: Up to 6 hours on 3G, up to 9 hours on Wi-FiVideo playback: Up to 10 hoursAudio playback: Up to 40 hoursSiri: Siri's is Apple's new personal assistant feature that is exclusively available on iPhone 4S. Using Siri, you can use voice commands to compose and dictate emails, schedule meetings, place phone calls, it can also find answers for you from the web through sources like Wikipedia, Yelp and WolframAlpha. It also can use location based services wherever required. You can send a text, ask for a reminder, ask for the weather or even the closest ATM using voice commands. Apple has covered a few more examples:Siri understands context allowing you to speak naturally when you ask it questions, for example, if you ask “Will I need an umbrella this weekend?” it understands you are looking for a weather forecast. Siri is also smart about using the personal information you allow it to access, for example, if you tell Siri “Remind me to call Mom when I get home” it can find “Mom” in your address book, or ask Siri “What’s the traffic like around here?” and it can figure out where “here” is based on your current location. Siri helps you make calls, send text messages or email, schedule meetings and reminders, make notes, search the Internet, find local businesses, get directions and more. You can also get answers, find facts and even perform complex calculations just by asking.Checkout the video of how it works:It is clearly the killer feature of Apple's new iPhone. We still need to try it out, but it could be as revolutionary as iPhone's multi-touch interface.Here are some other features that are also available in iPhone 4:The gorgeous Retina display.It will come preinstalled with iOS 5, which brings over 200 new features and improvements.FaceTime - Apple's video recording feature.AirPlay and AirPrint support.Pricing:iPhone 4S will be available for $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for the 32GB model, $399 for the 64GB model.Availability:iPhone 4S will be available for pre-order in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Japan and Australia on October 7th and will be launching on October 14th and in 22 more countries Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithunia, Luxemberg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland on October 28th and 70 countries by the end of the year.Though we can see that many of you are disappointed that Apple didn't launch a redesigned iPhone 5 with a larger screen, we think the specs bump and Siri makes it a great incremental upgrade.Let us know what you think in the comments.TweetRelated PostsApple Unveils New iPod Touch With Retina Display, FaceTime, HD Video Recording, A4 Processor And MoreApple Unveils iPad 2; Thinner, Lighter, Comes With Faster 1 GHz Dual-Core A5 Chip, Cameras; Will Be Available On March 11thiPhone 3G S Announced: Faster, 3MP Camera, Video, Improved Battery and MoreiPhone 5 Features: Faster Dual-Core A5 Chip, 1GB RAM, 8-Megapixel Camera, With Revolutionary New Assistant Feature?iPhone 4 Features: Video Calling, Retina Display, HD Video Recording, Improved Battery Life, LED Flash And Lots More
In addition to today's big iPhone 4S announcement, Apple also announced the release dates for iOS 5 and its cloud based service iCloud.Apple announced that iOS 5 and iCloud will be available on October 12th, just a little bit more than a week from today. Just like iOS 4, iOS 5 would be free to all users with an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, the initial iPad, iPad 2 and the third and fourth generation iPod Touch.iOS 5 comes with loads of new features like Notification Center, improved Camera app and Twitter integration, details of which you can see here. Along with these features, the new release also adds iPhone 4S specific features like Voice based personal assistant Siri (unless there's a hack, Siri won't work on existing iPhones) and 1080p HD video recording with image stabilization.iCloud, which was first introduced at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), would be replacing MobileMe with an additional set of features that would add syncing capabilities to any app on your device. It also adds iTunes Match, a $25 a year service, which allows you to access your entire library of songs over the cloud. Although a part of iCloud, iTunes Match would not launch until the end of this month. Sign up for iCloud would presumably go live along with iOS 5 on the 12th of this month. For more on iCloud and iTunes Match check our previous coverage here.Apple also introduced two new apps at the keynote, Cards and Find My Friends.
Cards lets you create greeting cards and mail (snail mail) a physical copy to any location in the world. This is the description of the app as seen on Apple's website:
The second app unveiled today was Find My Friends, a location based social networks that does exactly what it says. Where it might be better than Google Latitude, a similar service by Google, are privacy controls. A user can switch off location sharing after a certain time, say 7pm, thus avoiding the hassle of constantly switching the service on and off. The app was in building for quite sometime, as suggested by multiple leaks over the past few months. It would double up as a great addition to Apple's already impressive list of parental control features.Two important questions with regard to Find My Friends:Was this the reason behind the initial rejection of the Google Latitude native app?Now that Apple has GameCenter, Find My Friends and Ping, would they ever merge into a single social network under iCloud?Also Find My iPhone has now been rebranded as Find My Devices to now include Apple's entire device lineup (iOS devices as well as Macs). As Dan Frommer points out, this was Apple's second keynote in a row where iAds wasn't mentioned, nor was Ping or the iPod classic.So are you going to wait for a jailbreak or update right away?TweetRelated PostsApple Seeds iTunes 10.5 Beta 8 And iWork For iOS Beta 3 To Developers; Tells Them To Get Apps Ready for iCloud Backup & RestoreMore Evidence Of Apple’s ‘Find My Friends’ ServiceApple: Web Apps For Mail, Contacts, Calendar And Find My iPhone Will Be Available In iCloudApple Seeds Mac OS X 10.7.2 Build 11C55 With iCloud Beta; Reopens iTunes Match Beta For DevelopersApple Working To Secure Worldwide iCloud Music Rights Ahead Of ‘Let’s Talk iPhone’ EventPosted by Rounak on October 04, 2011 in Apple News, iCloud, iOS 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone Applications: iPhone Apps, Jailbreak Apps, iPhone Web Apps | Permalink|Comments (5) Comments
