New Joypad for iPhone / iPod Touch

Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive should be given head against a wall of reinforced concrete. The first because the "scene" is getting a break every demand of the protections that introduce the iPhone. The second device, because as of today, just with the work of industrial design company that carried out the apple.

They point to several rumors that Belkin might be behind the development of a joystick to iPod Touch / iPhone. But obviously, not be a driver to use, but rather a kind of add-on to add controls similar to those available to a normal console.

Many developers have praised the graphics power of the phone from Apple, even reaching consoles compared with a priori much more powerful. But as always happens in these cases, it seemed handycap established as a plus, it becomes the major hurdle to overcome that nobody knows. The touch is not just given the result we all expected.

Surely the gadgets that you have the happy as you have experienced at first hand. For now, the absence of confirmation, said the joystick add eight buttons, and a cross-directional analog audio output. If you do not mind sending the aesthetics of the phone in question to the pair, perhaps a good option.

As to the compatibility with existing or future games do not know anything. Hopefully, confirmed the project is not difficult to implement, but if you have a few hands and a pair of flats, you can shoot for half of the lane and make a homemade device that will get the same function.

iPhone has the world's most used digital camera

According to statistics from Flickr, the largest photo site in the world, the iPhone is already the most used device in the world to take pictures, surpassing by more than 3 times (and almost exponential acenso) to its nearest competitor, Sony Ericsson K800i, a mobile phone with a camera much better than the iPhone.

Esto demuestra lo que siempre he dicho, con tan solo un celular proveer mejores funcionalidades técnicas "sobre papel" que el iPhone no logrará destronar a este celular por todos estos tiempos, ya que lo que hace al iPhone popular es su facilidad de uso, la elegance of its interface, and the large ecosystem that has formed around him millions of songs and videos, and tens of thousands of applications.

Curiously, the iPhone will soon become not only the cellular and mobile device with more photos on Flickr, but it will soon take second place overall among all types of cameras in the world, behind only the popular Canon Rebel XTi.

And by the way, now my phone is an iPhone, and although the camera leaves much to be desired in low light conditions, it is also true that in environments with good lighting produces excellent pictures, much better than most other cell I've tried, and even rivaling some cheap digital cameras.

Apple launch iMac multitouch at MacWorld 2009

They say that Apple is working on the project of a multi-touch to be presented at MacWorld 2009. While Apple has been quite clear to ensure that this feature is not available in the short term, there are reports that LG, the maker of iMac screens, is taking steps to mass-produce these components.

It is worth noting that LG manufactures LCDs and also for other companies under their own brand. We can not forget that Windows 7 will be launched in late 2009 and this could well be LCD screens for laptops accompany "Windows 7."

Apple apparently continue with the commercial success of the multi-touch technology of the iPhone to your entire desktop line, but this step and HP in the game gave him a blow with the TouchSmart all-in-one laptop and recently the TouchSmart TX2.

Similarly, it is still unclear who would provide support Snow Leopard (which is expected in March 2009), but it is quite possible that at the MacWorld Expo in January 2009 in an iMac is this multi-touch.
