Clearing the air on the The iTablet – what we know so far
Talk of a touchscreen “iTablet” has been around since long before the iPhone (and was perhaps inspired by it), but in recent months the interweb has really sunk its teeth into the idea that Apple WILL be releasing an iTablet-like device at some point. While a profitable market for such a device still seems a bit unlikely, many analysts and Mac enthusiast websites now... Read More
I’m 90% sure the “Apple iTablet rumor” is an elaborate hoax by Apple to get Dell to waste money building a competing device
Aside from a $1400 GPS-enabled, touch screen, waterproof, 4 megapixel ROOMBA with a built-in iPod dock, I can’t think of a single Apple-branded device I would less want to add to my digital arsenal than an Apple tablet. Imagine a device that takes all the annoying UI limitations of the iPhone and combines them with all the size and weight of a netbook. And now imagine it... Read More
Sounds like the iPhone 4G is going to kick ass! [UPDATED]
According to Slash Gear (via Into Mobile via Venture Beat via the Chinese Twittersphere), 25 year old Foxconn employee Sun Danyong committed suicide last Thursday after losing an early 4th generation iPhone prototype he was supposed to ship to Apple HQ. I’m not entirely sure I believe this “My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend... Read More
Is the “free re-download to iPhone” gravy train over?
While beta testing the iPhone’s 3.0 software, Michael over at iAPPetite noticed that Apple seems to not be as generous with its bandwidth as it was with the version 2 software. Currently, when you delete an app from your iPhone, and then find you’d like to have it back while you’re out and about, you can redownload it to your iPhone again for free – no... Read More
Well, at least we still don’t know exactly what the BACK looks like…
If only there were residents of Cupertino California willing to work for $10 a month, maybe then Apple would be able to plug some of these overseas leaks. Behold China Ontrade, a supplier of replacement parts for pretty much any device you can think of, including Apple’s as-of-yet unreleased 3rd Generation iPhone. Currently they are selling two iPhone parts, the front bezel... Read More
Apple apparently moving to “All Yellow” packaging
So, what is the deal with spy photos and white balance? If this yellowish spy shot (sent in to Mac Rumors) is legit, it could mean we’ll be seeing a new Mac mini soon, possibly as early as tomorrow. Hmm… that box doesn’t look big enough to have a keyboard and mouse… I guess people like me who bought the first mini only encouraged Apple’s ridiculous... Read More
Fieldrunners v1.2 released… And there was much rejoicing
Atomic Studios has just released Fieldrunners v1.2 with a slew of goodies sure to keep me too busy to update Macenstein for the next couple days. New in v1.2 is a new “Drylands” canyon map, a new flying Fieldrunner (a P-47 Thunderbolt), a new icon, better autosave, and faster loading times. But the big news for Fieldrunners fans is the addition of two new towers!... Read More
50 iPhone Apps with Icons That Don’t Suck
They say “you can’t judge a book by its cover”, but they also say “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”. I’m not a big fan of cliched sayings, but for applications trying desperately to gain attention on the bloated, unorganized mess that IS the iTunes app store, having a well designed icon could help make the difference...

Doug returns!
[Disclaimer: Doug has never been right about anything.] Hey everyone, look! Doug has returned, and he has a new rumor for us! This time it’s about the Apple TV. Looks like the Apple TV might not be getting a redesign so much as losing the hardware aspect entirely. (At least according to Doug). Hey Doc, Here’s something I heard through the grapevine. Apple is investigating... Read More
