Global technology major Apple tops the Forbes list of the ‘World’s Most Valuable Brands’, ahead of giants Microsoft and Coca Cola. The Forbes Top 50 list of the world’s most valuable brands, compiled by the magazine, is dominated by 32 US firms. The top nine brands in the list were from the US. No Indian company features in the list.

Tech major Apple, which topped the list, “is a company that has faced setbacks before and bounced back to become the world’s most valuable brand — worth $ 57.4 billion,” Forbes noted. The magazine further said, “Apple shows just how a brand can survive and thrive even when a parent company stumbles. Apple’s sales in the late 1990s plummeted 46 per cent over a four-year stretch while the company lost money seven times over eight quarters.”

Dubbing iPad owners as “over-achieving selfish elites,” a new survey has revealed that those who have Apple's "magical device", are six times more likely to be wealthy, highly educated and sophisticated 30-50 year olds who value power and achievement.

The survey of 20,000 people conducted by US consumer research firm MyType also claimed that they are selfish and unkind.

MyType spokesman Tim Koelkebeck gave his unflattering appraisal of iPad owners on the company's blog after the firm released the results of the survey online.

And Koelkebeck said that 96 per cent of iPad's critics don't own an iPad, but are generally independent-minded young people who "shun conformity".

According to engadget.com, LG, which supplies the LCD displays for the iPad is unable to keep up with the enormous demand.

“Demand (from Apple) keeps growing and we can’t meet it all. Apple may have to delay launches of the iPad for some countries due to tight component supplies and strong demand,” LG Display CEO Kwon Young-soo told reporters.

Recently, the iPad became available in Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore.

However, Apple was careful not to promise a launch date for the rest of the world, merely stating that the “iPad will roll out to many more countries later this year and Apple will announce availability and local pricing for these additional countries at a later date.” It seems now that this date could be further away than we thought.

Apple’s iPhone has been voted the coolest thing on the planet.

A 15-year-old boy managed to dupe Apple Inc. by creating an iPhone application that connects to the Internet for free but it is no longer available.

To access the web through the iPhone costs around 13 pounds a month.

Nick Lee designed a application which at first glance appears to allow users to change the colour of their screen. It was charged at less than a dollar to upload from the Apple iTunes online music store.

However, the application contains a hidden code that allows people to use their iPhone as a modem and access the Internet without paying, the Telegraph reported.

According to the recent poll by Yankee Group, the vast majority of iPhone users love AT&T.

Survey finds that the 73% of iPhone users are very satisfied with AT&T's service. This reports compares how non-iPhone users feet about the AT&T, and even to how non-iPhone users feel about other wireless providers.

The satisfaction rate of AT&T subscribers as a whole is 68%, and only 69% of smartphone users say they are satisfied with their mobile provider, Yankee Group found.

The results of this poll might made AT&T to celebrate upon since it was under fire in the media and on the internet about its service-related issues with the iPhone.

Runner’s World magazine has announced the release of its SmartCoach iPhone app, which creates customized training guides for race distances between a 5-K and a marathon.

Users can input their most recent race time, weekly and long-term distance goals, training level (maintenance, moderate, hard or very hard), the day they’d like to schedule their long runs and the amount of time they’d like to train for (up to 16 weeks) to receive their customized plan.

The app suggests a running distance and pace that varies each day, increasing in distance and speed and then tapering off shortly before race day.

Chitika’s Ad network had gathered data by looking at web impressions from mobile devices across Chitika’s network, which includes more than 80,000 publisher sites.

iOS to Android OS comparison, Apple has the lead by a significant margin; iOS traffic accounted for around 55% of mobile OS activity in a recent snapshot, whereas Android devices ran closer to 18% of the total.

To get an idea of OS versions, Chitika captured data on 9,020,135 devices running an iOS and 7,712,820 devices running some version of Android.

Where iPhone owners show a distinct advantage is in the ability to quickly upgrade en masse to the latest distribution of the OS. Almost half (49.9%) of all iPhone owners are now running iOS 4, which was just released one month ago.

General Motors with the help of OnStar had developed an application which let the drivers of most 2011 General Motors vehicles will be able to use a smartphone to carry out functions usually found on a key fob such as remote starting, activating the horn and lights, and remote locking and unlocking of doors.

This application is also available to Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC that can be controlled on Apple's iPhone and phones using Google's Android operating system.

This technology was announced by GM 22-July-2010.

Apple has  posted its Q3 earnings for fiscal year 2010 and the company has once again beated its own records, this time reporting a whopping $15.7 billion in revenue and a net quarterly profit of $3.35 billion.

Apple, which is currently the most valuable technology company in the U.S. and the second most valuable U.S. company overall, reported earnings of $3.51 per diluted share. This is significantly higher than the $3.11 per share estimates from Wall Street analysts.

Apple sold 3.47 million Macs in the quarter, which is a new quarterly record for the company, and 8.4 million iPhones. iPhone sales were up 61% year-over-year. Apple’s newest product, the iPad, sold 3.27 million units.

Apple’s solution to Antenna reception issues, free cases is likely going to cost the company $175 million in revenue.

Apple posted record earnings this quarter. However, its recent success has been marred by controversy over the iPhone 4’s reception issues, specifically how holding it by its lower-right side can decrease reception.

Apple held a press conference last week to address the issue. Its solution to the problem: free cases for all.

In other words, Apple is accounting for $175 million in lost revenue on its Q4 balance sheet, all due to free bumpers and cases.

Its not a big deal for the apple since, the company that made $15.7 billion last quarter alone.

Good New for the Jason Chen (Gizmodo) Fans. San Mateo County officials have withdrawn a search warrant issued for an editor at Gizmodo, the tech blog that beat Apple to the punch and unveiled a prototype of the new iPhone in April.

According to court documents, the search warrant was dropped on Thursday after Gizmodo editor Jason Chen agreed to submit information kept in several electronic devices seized from his house in April.

Authorities sought the information as part of an investigation to determine if a crime was committed when Gizmodo purchased the phone - a prototype for the iPhone 4 - from Brian Hogan, who found the device after an Apple engineer left it behind in a Redwood City bar.

During the Friday Apple News Conference, Apple promise of a full refund for customers unhappy with their iPhone 4 applies for 30 days after purchase, so those who were hoping to use the announcement as a means to get out of their AT&T contracts beyond that time period are out of luck.

AT&T's normal, 30-day return policy will still apply for the iPhone 4, an AT&T spokesman said Friday. After purchasing an AT&T device and agreeing to a two-year contract, customers have 30 days in which to cancel their accounts without incurring an early termination fee, or return the iPhone 4 and switch to another AT&T handset.

The announcement comes after Apple said Friday that it will provide iPhone 4 buyers with a free bumper or case to alleviate reception issues. If users are still not happy with their smartphones, they can return the device for a "full refund" and no re-stocking fee - also within 30 days, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said at a press conference.

On Thrusday Apple's iOS 3.2.1 update was available via iTunes for patching few nagging problems, most notably a Wi-Fi connectivity issue reported by many iPad users.

The update also adds Microsoft's Bing as an option for Safari's search field, although Google Search remains the default choice.

According to the Apple Support site, iOS 3.2.1 also fixes:

Apple has approved an application from Mozilla that synchronizes bookmarks and open tabs with versions of Firefox running elsewhere.

The Firefox Home application is once called Weave and now called Firefox Sync. Mozilla submitted Firefox Home to Apple's App Store on June 30.

Browser sync tools, Xmarks, can sync across Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Not all sync is the same, though: bookmarks and tabs are one area, but sync also can extend to passwords, browsing history, and other aspects of browser use.

Speculation and rumors are doing rounds over what Apple plans to say at its anticipated iPhone 4 press conference on Friday at 10 a.m. Pacfic Time today. Apple has said only that it will discuss its newest smartphone, iPhone 4. Anticipation is that this will not be an address lauding the successes of the new device, and will instead focus on the reported problems of the iPhone 4's reception. It has been well documented that if you cover the lower part of the iPhone 4 you can experience serious cellular receptions that could result in dropped calls. Apple's problems came to a head earlier this week after Consumer Reports released a report on the iPhone 4 saying it couldn't recommend purchasing the device.

Despite the complaints and personal tales of woe about the iPhone 4's antenna issues, Apple is not expected to issue an expensive recall of the iPhone 4, according to The New York Times. The newspaper quoted a "person with direct knowledge of Apple's plans" denying that a recall is in the works, but the anonymous source didn't say anything further about what Apple's plans might be. Interestingly, however, the iPhone 4's design may have simply exposed a "longstanding weakness" in the iPhone's software, according to a "person with direct knowledge of the phone's design" who spoke with the Times.

NPD has released survey results that point to a huge interest in an iTunes subscription service, which, in 2010 language, would be called a "cloud service." NPD believes there is a market of about 8 million possible subscribers in the U.S. alone. Those subscribers indicated they would be willing to pay at least $10 per month, which would translate into the next billion-dollar opportunity for Apple.

"Between seven million and eight million iTunes users in the U.S. would have strong interest in one of the paid subscription options, according to the report. These consumers indicated a willingness to pay a minimum monthly fee of $10 -- either for streaming music or access to their personal music libraries on multiple devices," NPD said. NPD estimates that there are 50 million iTunes users in the U.S. According to NPD's music industry research, a model that offers iTunes users free access to their own music libraries would attract in the range of 13 to 15 million subscribers.

According to French-language newspaper Le Soleil, Apple has acquired Poly9, an online mapping company based in Quebec.

The translated article reports that since the acquisition, the majority of Poly9 employees have moved from Quebec to Apple’s offices in California. As Apple Insider notes, the Poly9 website is down, although parts of the Poly9 Globe site are still accessible.

The Poly9 Globe was described as “a cross-browser, cross-platform 3D globe which does not require any download.” Think of it as a JavaScript-based 3D globe that can be manipulated with your mouse to adjust its axis and rotation points. The software then offers users statistics on their virtual locations. Basically it’s Google Earth in the browser.

The uTouchLabs-developed app is called “Ask the Octopus”  and it’s available in the App Store  for the iPhone , iPod touch and iPad (though it doesn’t have a special iPad version).

It’s pretty basic. When you start it up, you see an animated octopus, and you’re asked to enter in two things to compare (Soup or salad? Paper or plastic? Jacob or Edward? We’re sure you can think of better things to compare). After you’ve picked the options, the octopus drifts to the sea floor and selects a box, just like Paul. It’s random, of course — we don’t believe this octopus has secret predictive powers, but like a Magic 8-Ball, it’s fun to play with.

Mobile advertising firm Millennial Media has just released its Mobile Mix report for June 2010, highlighting some of the latest trends in the world of mobile and connected devices.

Apple remains the leader amongst both smartphones and connected devices. Millennial’s report finds that Apple actually made a 4% month-over-month gain in terms of device manufacturer marketshare in the U.S., giving Apple nearly 30% of all impressions.

With the release of iOS 4.0.1, the first update to the device’s operating system, which aims to fix the most talked about flaw.

When the iPhone 4 reception issue came to light, Apple promised a software fix to the formula it uses to calculate signal strength. Although the reception issue has been identified as a hardware problem since then, we still expected Apple to roll out the software fix.


According to Apple, iOS 4.0.1 only has one change: It “improves the formula to determine how many bars of signal strength to display.” Because it addresses an issue inherent only to phones, iOS 4.0.1 is only available for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4.

Virgin and publishing company Seven Squared are planning to launch a new consumer magazine that will be available exclusively as an app for iPad, iPhone and eventually Android devices, according to AdAge.

The magazine, titled Maverick, will reportedly focus on the entrepreneurial space, highlighting “new creative, business, travel and technology ideas” to an “upscale international audience,” a la Fast Company and WIRED. Consultancy AI will oversee the magazine’s creative duties.

Maverick is tentatively scheduled to launch in October — if Holly Branson, the 28-year old daughter of Virgin’s Founder and Chairman Sir Richard Branson, can persuade enough premium advertisers to sign up by then. According to an executive “close to the matter,” response has been so positive that the title may very well be able to choose which brands it will sign for the first round of advertising contracts.

Apple has called a surprise news conference on 16 July at 1800 (BST) to talk about the iPhone 4 as the clamour for the company to resolve antenna problems with the new device intensified.

The company has refused to give details about whether the event will address reception problems that some users have reported with the phone, launched just last month.

Apple has faced mounting criticism from analysts and consumers over its handling of the issue.

Industry watchers said the firm was in danger of damaging its "rock star" reputation over how poorly it had dealt with what would normally be a minor problem.

Gizmodo reader claims that, after Apple replaced his iPhone 4, he couldn't reproduce the sharp loss of signal. He says that the hardware seems slightly different.

As told to Gizmodo,

This is no jail break. iPhone Dev Team member planetbeing is teasing the world with a picture of an unlocked AT&T iPhone 4 being used way up north on Canada's Bell -- and while we don't have a timeline for a release just yet. Now Canadians might having heart in there mouth :)

Here might be colorful remedy for the reception flaw by Colorware, a custom coloring services on a variety of products including Mac and PC laptops, gaming consoles, iPod mp3 players, iPhone and Blackberry ..... Given just how much that white iPhone 4 bumper is about to cost you on eBay, it seems as if a Colorware'd alternative has never been a better bargain.

Hundreds of people lined up Saturday to be among the first to enter Apple Inc.'s newest store in China.

The 16,000-square-foot (1,500-square-meter) underground space in Shanghai, China's wealthiest city, marks the start of a major retail expansion in a country where the company so far has had a relatively meager presence.

Apple—which has one other Chinese store, in Beijing—has said it plans to open 25 stores in China by the end of next year, including a second store in Shanghai.

(Reuters) - Shares of Apple Inc slid more than 4 percent on Tuesday after a poor review for its iPhone 4 from an influential consumer guide underpinned mounting complaints about the hot-selling device's reception and spurred speculation about a product recall.

Consumer Reports said on Monday it could not recommend the iPhone 4 -- which sold 1.7 million units worldwide in its first three days -- after its tests confirmed concerns about signal loss when the device is held in a certain way.

That report spurred widespread discussion on Tuesday, including on popular tech site Cnet and multiple blogs, about the possibility of an iPhone 4 recall: an unheard-of event for a company lauded by investors and tech aficionados for its marketing savvy and product quality.

Earlier this month, JPMorgan Chase updated its iPhone app to allow customers to electronically deposit checks. To make a deposit, customers photograph the front and back of the check with the phone's built-in camera, then transmit the image to their account.

USAA has offered a deposit app since last August. Customers have used it to deposit 1.5 million checks worth more than $900 million, spokesman Paul Berry says.

Bank of America has tested a mobile deposit app but hasn't set a launch date, spokeswoman Tara Burke says.

Consumer Reports performed lab tests on the iPhone 4 and determined that the phone’s alleged antenna problem is completely legit. As a result, the organization declined to recommend the device, suggesting that consumers buy the older 3GS model instead.

The steel bands that run around the phone’s edges function as antennae, and Apple touted this as a selling point. Unfortunately, consumers discovered a design flaw immediately after the phone launched. When you cover up a small gap between two of the bands on the corner of the phone, you experience dramatic signal loss.

As you’ll see in the video above, Consumer Reports tested AT&T carrier signals on the phone using lab equipment and determined that touching that spot on the phone can cause enough signal loss to drop a call. It also confirmed that this is not just an issue where the phone’s software is inaccurately reporting signal strength. Previous tests have had similar results.
