Android – Iphone – Applications

In case you’ve got an extra $8 million to spend on some very special accessory for iPhone, you might want to consider this diamond covered iPhone 4. Wrapped in over 500 diamonds totaling over 100 karats, I sure hope this iPhone doesn’t have any antenna issue….

Folks who use their iPhones to send naughty messages back and forth may be in for a rude awakening as Apple has recently filed an anti-sexting patent. Basically, the new feature would allow users to block “sexts” (text message containing sexual or otherwise explicit content), or any other content which they deem inappropriate. Users could also opt to have texts delivered, but with the explicit content filtered out before it reaches them.

“Systems, devices, and methods are provided for enabling a user to control the content of text-based messages sent to or received from an administered device,” reads the patent application. “In some embodiments, a message will be blocked (incoming or outgoing) if the message includes forbidden content. In other embodiments, the objectionable content is removed from the message prior to transmission or as part of the receiving process. The content of such a message is controlled by filtering the message based on defined criteria.”

The desire to clean up dirty language in text message falls right in line with Apple’s anti-porn stance, but this new patent is nowhere near as Orwellian as some of the company’s other policies. From the sound of things this will be an opt-in program, and will be aimed mainly at parents who want to restrict behavior of youngsters and teens who may be prone to sending flirtatious messages. In this case Big Brother Jobs isn’t looking directly over your shoulder, but rather peering at you from across the way using binoculars and a series of mirrors.

Do you remember the day? It was the Stevenote of June 7th, 2010. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the day that Apple unveiled iOS 4 for the iPhone. Every Apple geek was brimming with excitement as the first, official look at Apple’s new software on the iPhone 4′s mind-blowing retina display.

That beautiful water droplet wallpaper on Steve Job’s iPhone 4 made every wallpaper geek drool. Apparently, Apple’s pre-installed wallpaper on the iPhone 4 has inspired some designers out there to create more amazing water droplet wallpapers for your iPhones. I have collected three of the best water droplet wallpapers for the iPhone…

Apple’s iPhone is one of the most popular touchscreen touting smartphones on the market. In fact, it’s so popular that despite the whole death grip fiasco that went on around its release, the device still managed to push millions of units. However, there is one thing that is fending off some potential consumers and that is none other than AT&T.

AT&T is one of the nation leading wireless carriers but due to poor reception in some areas, consumers have given it a bad name. This is why potential iPhone buyers are excited that rumors surrounding an iPhone 4 coming to Verizon are starting to heat up. Today, we have even more heat to add to the fire as Gizmodo has just posted the above picture that allegedly show Verizon’s version of the iPhone 4.

As you can see, the back is metal as opposed to the glass back AT&T’s versions have which is most likely to combat shattering. Another thing to note is our source says the device will come packaged witha  bumper leading us to believe Apple has yet to work out the death grip issues.

We’ll keep you posted as this one unfolds.
