image thumb99 End Of Facetime For iPhone? Skype Video Calling Now Available For iPhone, iPod Touch And iPad

As rumored earlier Skype has officially released the video calling functionality for all iOS Devices. This includes your iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. The version 3.0 of the app will support video calling capabilities with users of the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the 4th Generation iPod Touch.

The latest version has support for the iPod Touch 3G and the iPad too. But since both devices lack a front facing camera, therefore you can receive video calls but can’t send a video back. The Skype app for the iOS device also supports video calls over 3G and can also receive calls from the traditional desktop Skype App. So you can communicate at ease with anyone back at home while you travel. The app also supports portrait and landscape mode.

image thumb5 Apple To Live Stream Music Event At Apple.com Only For Mac Users. Sorry Not For PCs

The Apple Music Event is just short of a few hours and knowing that we have been talking about it a lot for the last couple of weeks. But we can’t help but talk more. Primarily because news and rumors will keep popping out until Steve Jobs takes the stage and starts off disclosing things or products at the event. You can watch the Live Stream at Apple.

The Live event starts streaming at 10:00 AM PT but it will only be available for Mac users. Meaning this would require Mac running the Snow Leopard or a device running the iOS 3.0 or higher. I am not surprised given that only Apple lovers will be interested in watching the stream more than their PC counterparts. However in my opinion it’s quite a poor tactic, of course I understand we must consider ourselves lucky that Apple has changed its tradition and actually throwing up a Live Coverage, but why deprive others? Anyways that’s Apple’s own decision and I know it wont hurt them to not stream this to PC users.

image thumb48 Apple Fixes the Jailbreak Exploit: Releases iOS 4.0.2 For iPhone, iPod Touch And iOS 3.2.2 For iPad

Every has spent a countless hours on Google searching for results on how to jailbreak iPhone 4 and the iPad? Before an exploit in the iOS 4.0.1 enabled users of the iPhone 4 to jailbreak the iPhone via a browser with JailbreakMe. That method was for every device running the iOS 4.0.1. Today that changed as Apple released iOS 4.0.2 for all its devices; which include the iPhones, iPod touch and the iPad running iOS 3.2.2.

Of course many out there would already be googling how to jailbreak the iPhone running on iOS 4.0.2, but no need. A simpler method is you simply don’t update the operating system at all, well at least as long as you can, since it is not automated.

image thumb27 Apple Hates Adobe And The Hate Is There To Stay – But I Am With Adobe!

Whenever you are angered or enraged at anything and the War can’t be fought face to face, the best place then is Facebook. Forget support for a good cause and be mean; rally your supporters against the tyranny of one or many, bring it on Facebook Adobe has done that, unofficially.

Given the latest development in the Adobe/Apple saga and Steve Jobs’ harsh words and an iron will to never let Adobe come close to any product of Apple: iPad, iPhone and… the iPad. You heard or should I say read it right – Never. The war from Adobe has come to Facebook and its fans are already cursing Apple for the dictatorial and the anti-competitive methodology it has adopted. Why so? Wouldn’t that actually help Apple get the big grab on in the market if it makes use of the platform? More developers mean more options for its consumers and an even bigger market the only and sadly the major risk involved is that Apple would have had to compromise on its hegemony over its hardware. Obviously that is quite huge sacrifice to make.
