Wow, you know what ? Kids prefer iPhone as their favorite toy.

Hilary Stout, New York Times

New York: The bedroom door opened and a light went on, signaling an end to nap time. The toddler, tousle-haired and sleepy-eyed, clambered to a wobbly stand in his crib. He smiled, reached out to his father, and uttered what is fast becoming the cry of his generation: "iPhone!"

The iPhone has revolutionized telecommunications. It has also become the most effective tool in human history to mollify a fussy toddler, much to the delight of parents reveling in their newfound freedom to have a conversation in a restaurant or roam the supermarket aisles in peace. But just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones, so the device is now the Toy of Choice -- akin to a treasured stuffed animal -- for many 1-, 2- and 3-year-olds. It's a phenomenon that is attracting the attention and concern of some childhood development specialists.

Natasha Sykes, a mother of two in Atlanta, remembers the first time her daughter, Kelsey, now 3 1/2 but then barely 2 years old, held her husband's iPhone. "She pressed the button and it lit up. I just remember her eyes. It was like 'Whoa!' "

Apple shares falls despite strong profit reports.

After reporting xpectations-beating profits of $4.3bn (£2.7bn) for the last quarter, Apple shares drop 7% in after-hours trading, despite reporting.

Apple's shares have hit saturation point, and the drop may be due to speculators selling to lock in profits.

That represents a rise of just 28% on the previous quarter, which was when the company first launched the new product.

The firm sold 14.1 million of its smart phones in the quarter.

The other thing you could grip a handheld with either hand, and it would automatically generate "button zones" under each finger using sensors (or disappearing buttons, perhaps) baked right into the chassis, making cries of "you're holding it wrong" hopefully fade into obscurity.

Deep within the USB device configuration list for the latest iOS 4.2 beta 1 is an iProd 2,1 descriptor that links to an entry for the AppleTV2,1.

Not only does this identify the mystery device as the new Apple TV, it also confirms that the streaming device is powered by Apple’s mobile OS, not the propriety Mac OS X of the original Apple TV.

Adobe starts working on apple platform.

Apple apps relaxation rules made a hell lot of change around the developer and the most to gain is Adobe's Flash.  Adobe announced Friday that it would resume development on Flash for the iPhone.

Adobe "will now resume development work" on its Packager for iPhone for future releases, Adobe wrote in a blog post. The feature is part of the Flash Professional CS5 authoring tool.

In April, Adobe announced that it would no longer invest in iPhone-based Flash development after Apple banned private APIs and required apps to be written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine.

"Essentially, this has the effect of restricting applications built with a number of technologies, including Unity, Titanium, MonoTouch, and Flash CS5," Adobe principal product manager Mike Chambers said at the time. "While it appears that Apple may selectively enforce the terms, it is our belief that Apple will enforce those terms as they apply to content created with Flash CS5."

There is no evidence that iPad purchases are affecting Mac sales, but the popular tablet has been "adversely impacting" PC sales, specifically notebook PCs, Um wrote, prompting many of them to launch iPad competitors. There will not likely be any "viable threats" to the iPad "for some time," however.

"We believe that a majority of this impact is occurring on the lower end of PC sales as the iPad is priced close enough to this range that it becomes attractive to consumers looking to make purchases within this segment," he wrote.
