Apple World

It appears that Apple is working to port the iMessage and AirPlay feature to its new upcoming Mac OS X Lion future versions. Both of the feature applications are currently in the development. Sources close to the future production of Mac OS claim that Apple developer department is looking forward to implementing these features on Mac OS X Lion Until now, this is the first claim we hear about the implementation of AirPlay and iMessage into Mac OS X, there is still a layer of confusion about the availability of the features in next versions of Mac OS.
AirPlay on Mac OS X Lion will allow users to wirelessly exactly mirror their screen to other fellows connected within one connection. The feature will work similarly to iOS AirPlay feature. It appears that the new feature in Mac OS also allows users to mirror their screen to iOS devices.

On the launch of iMessage, we heard a rumor from sources that Apple may merge the Mac OS iChat with the iOS 5 iMessage, but the today’s report claimed that if they implement iMessage to Mac OS X then for sure it comes as a standalone application in the operating system. Still, we can’t be sure on the claim of earlier sources because there might be a lot of things after a sometime of this report. This iMessage application will connect to iMessage for iOS, which debuted as a free messaging client for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches running iOS 5.

It appears that Apple has been working on the new Ultra-thin 15-inch Macbook Pro LCD, and has just finished the testing phase of the new 15-inch LCD of MacBook Pro. According to a report by Japanese based blog, Macotakar.jp. Apple has finished the testing of new 15-inch LCD units for the new Ultra-thin MacBook Pro. The report also hints on that Apple is on a way to produce a 15-inch Macbook Air, which was recently rumored by the sources.
From a long time, Apple was rumored to be working on the ultra-thin MacBook Pro 15-inch model, and the company was also spotted by the sources in the past while testing of the ultra-thin display for the new MacBook Air.

The blog also claims that this new MacBook Pro model will not get the Optical drives, same as MacBook Air models. Apple has been working for a long time to quit the using of Optical drives in their products, earlier this year we have seen that Apple launches its next generation of Mac OS X Lion over the internet, and they didn’t produce any disc for the OS installation. The new ultra-thin MacBook Pro was also rumored back in July to be in the last testing stages, and now after the today’s report it seems that now they are pushed to production stage of the units.

As the hackers were on to it, yes the Siri to run on iPhone 4 but fortunately hackers also jumped on iPod touch 4 to run Siri on it which they accomplished succesfully. Steven Troughton-Smith the folk who showed up the first iPhone 4 running Siri on net which was not that stable but after a couple of hours he did it fine, it was working fine. Today he has completely revealed the comparison and showed up Siri working fine on iPhone 4. Below is the video

Well what about the iPod touch 4′s Siri.. We also showed you up the iPod touch running Siri but the Siri wasn’t speaking, after hack it was done plus not quiet good as its mic. is not that strong. Chpwn one of Cydia tweak developer with Steven successfully ported Siri on iPod touch 4 too, but you have to speak loudly to get Siti know. Below is the iPod touch 4 running Siri.
Now don’t ask that how can we do it.. because they have passed out the message that no ETA is said and it could be illegal so when the untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S debuts then there could be an ETA described but nothing can be said now.
Mark Gurman, folk at 9to5Mac interviewed Steven Troughton-Smith about the ports and stuff.. Below is the interview

Mark: Where do you go from here with the port?
Steven: At this point it’s all about confirming this works across devices, making it reproducible (we got it working on two devices today), and documenting everything. It does require files from an iPhone 4S which aren’t ours to distribute, and it also requires a validation token from the iPhone 4S that has to be pulled live from a jailbroken iPhone 4S, and it’s about a 20-step process right now.
Mark: In its current state, is the port 100% functional, is there anything you would like to see work better?
Steven: Yes, it seems to be 100% functional. I’m working on the rough edges, but everything that works on the iPhone 4S seems to work here.
Mark: Do you ever see Siri showing up in Cydia (or another jailbreak store) for non natively supported devices?
Steven: No, I could not be a part of that. I have no doubts that others will package this up and distribute it quasi-illegally, or try and sell it to people. I am only interested in the technology and making it work; proving that it works and works well on the iPhone 4 and other devices.
Mark: So, you also got Siri working on the fourth-generation iPod touch, how is that working out?
Steven: We got chpwn’s iPod touch up and running with Siri after proving it works on my iPhone 4. Unfortunately the microphone on the iPod is nowhere near as good as the iPhone – you will notice that the Siri level meter hardly moves when you talk to it. While it does work, you have to speak loudly and clearly to the iPod.
Mark: How long did porting take you, what was the “I got it” moment?
Steven: Basically, I already had everything I needed to make it work. I had spent a lot of time mapping out in my head exactly how Siri works on the iPhone. All I needed was access to a jailbroken iPhone 4S to put my hunch to the test. It literally took no longer than 10 minutes to put all the pieces in place and perform our first test on my iPhone 4, and it was an instant success.

It appears that after working hard on the Apple’s iPhone 4S new Siri service, finally the hackers come up with a successful port of Siri on old generation devices like iPhone 4 and iPod Touch. We have already hear couple of times in last few days that hackers are working on the Siri port and they have successfully ported its GUI and some other files to iPhone 4 but they could not make it to run on the iPhone 4 hardware because of Apple’s Server connection with Siri.

Siri have to connect with Apple’s service servers in order to work on any device, hackers have to create a layer between iPhone 4 hardware and Siri Server to make it work on other iOS devices. Today the hacker @Stroughtonsmith and infamous @Chpwn claimed that they have finally able to bypass the security and now able to port Siri on any old generation device running iOS 5. The hackers had uploaded a video showing the comparison between iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S running Siri.
In the video, the hackers just ask simple questions to Siri from iPhone 4 hardware but throughout it works well on iPhone 4. The hacker actually claimed that this port contains some extracted files from the iPhone 4S core files, and for it they jailbroke iPhone 4S. The developers have said that there will be “no public release soon” and not to ask. A public release also seems unlikely due to the legal issues in repackaging Apple’s code and distributing it.

Until now, we have seen many file downloader’s for iOS devices with a lot of features but almost all of them provides the normal features to the users, on which users can download any type of video or file from the internet and can play it on their device or can share it with its computer machine. Today, another file downloader application launched in the App Store, but it seems that it comes up with some of note worthy features which might give it some uniqueness from others.

After the couple of weeks debate finally we have been able to install iPhone 4S Siri on the old generation devices like iPhone 4 and iPod Touch running iOS 5, but in jailbroken status. We have reported earlier last week that some developers have been working hard to port Siri on iPhone 4, and on other devices. Since they got a way to do the port of Siri to iPhone 4 but didn’t get a contact with Apple’s Siri Service servers.

We have been hearing about Siri port, since the Apple has introduced it in iPhone 4S. The infamous jailbreak hacker iH8sn0w announced on twitter that he has been working on a port with a new hacker named @Jacoplane, who claimed earlier this month that he got way to made connection with Apple servers right from the hardware of iPhone 4. He published number of iPhone 4 and iPad 2 pictures showing Siri running on both devices, but it seems that he only ported the GUI of the Siri.
Well earlier this week, we got information about a little mod who allows you to port iPhone 4S Siri GUI on your iPhone 4 and iPod Touch. Actually, the mod contains some files from the iPhone 4S firmware, which was extracted by the hackers to port the Siri. So If you are interested to port its GUI, follow the below mentioned tutorial.

Step 1: First of all, You have to jailbreak your device on iOS 5 running tethered jailbreak or Semi-tethered with Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze
Step 2: Download the below mentioned files required for the Siri port to iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G.
Step 3: Using a file explorer for your iOS device, copy over the AssistantServices.frameworkfolder you downloaded in Step 2 to Root > System > Library > PrivateFrameworks after plugging in your device to your computer via USB.
Step 4: Transfer all files from the Springboard folder in Step 2 to Root > System > Library > CoreServices > Springboard.app on your iOS device.
Step 5: Using iFile (you can get it from Cydia), open the .plist file for your iOS device fromSystem > Library > CoreServices > Springboard.app. It will be named N81AP for iPod touch 4G and N9x for iPhone 4 (where x may be 0, 1, 2).
Step 6: Add a new property list named assistant to the .plist file and set its class as Booleanwhile setting its value as YES.
Step 7: Add the following to the .plist file:

assistant

Step 8: After you’ve completed above steps re-spring your iOS device.
Siri files extracted from an iPhone 4S (download here).
One thing we want to make sure you that it’s just a GUI port of Siri on your device, and it will won’t work fully such as performing on iPhone 4S.

Since the Apple has started its iOS 5 beta testing among the enrolled developers with their dev program, including our dev many other developers had tested the beta version of iOS 5 and share their bug finds with the rest of the world. It appears that some iOS 5 bugs pop up’s on the Gold Master build of the firmware, where users have noticed a fall in the battery timing of the devices.

Since we updated our different devices to the iOS 5 GM, we had also noticed that something is going on in the system. We just ignored the bug, and chose to wait for the final version of firmware to come up with the fix of battery drainage. As the iPhone 4S launched earlier this month along with iOS 5, once again Apple public forums lit up with the complains of battery drainage on iOS 5 and especially on iPhone 4S.
Many experts come up with numerous tips and tricks to solve the issue on new iPhone 4S along with other iOS 5 running devices, but none of them actually work there and the battery drainage goes on. Users reported that battery timing of iPhone 4S is completely insane. Firstly, it was reported that this battery drainage is happening due to the implementation of new features into iOS 5, but later it is tested that some other bug is causing this issue on all iOS 5 running devices. Let’s see how to fix that:

Step 1: First of all, head over to Settings.app on your device, then Location Services and finally tap on System Services. (Settings > Location Services > System Services)
Step 2: On that page, at the bottom you will get a toggle switch to turn OFF/ON “Status Bar Icon.” Switch ON that toggle to test, is something going on your device? Definitely, something going on!
Step 3: Now, heads over to the main part of the tip, at the same page you will get “Setting Time Zone,” all you have to do is a toggle it OFF, and check the status bar for the icon, is it still there? Well not!
Step 4: That’s it! Now enjoy the new battery life of your device on iOS 5.

As reported by the iDB user, it appears that iOS 5 GM build comes up with a new bug that causes iOS 5 to keep tracking the location of the device for the auto time zone setting, which cause continuously using the GPS service of the device, and considerably it draining device battery. So you can fix the battery drain issue with this tip. We have already tested this tip on our devices, and found out that it really works.

Believe it… Samsung tries to do it all and also showed it via the Samsung Galaxy S2, the worlds fastest, thinnest, wider device and it rocked in the world but on the other hand as Apple is Apple and it has made a great reputation, mainly the iPhone which debuted in 2007, when you has the “QWERTY” punks and the Android by Google was in space but the iPhone has the worlds first “multi touch” feature and the first capacitive touch screen which let the consumers gain the attention. Samsung has been providing the boards to Apple from many years plus due to iPhone there have been many patent law suits betwee Galaxy devices and iPhone’s. This year Samsung topped Apple in sales so it means Apple has to show something big in 2012.

Well, Samsung has confirmed that next year they will ship the devices which will have flexible displays, true flexible displays and back in the D8 conference our tech guru Steve Jobs also believed that there will be no flexible displays until years..

many, many years into the future.

At CES 2011 Samsung unveiled the flexible 4.5″ AMOLED display. Robert Yi said

The flexible display, we are looking to introduce sometime in 2012, hopefully the earlier part. The application probably will start from the handset side.

Check the flexible displays below


Samsung is doing everything…. when are they going to work on “Bada OS” !
