XtremeMac InCharge Home USB charger for iOS devices
A couple of weeks ago, we ran a post about the release of the XtremeMac InCharge Home USB charger (US$29.99) for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Now the device is available in the wild, and one was sent to the sprawling TUAW Labs for hands-on testing. Read on for a detailed look at this ultra-portable charger for your favorite iOS device.

Let's face it -- if you try to put one of Apple's little power cubes into a pocket, you're likely to be asked "is that a charger in your pocket or are you not too happy to see me?" Yep, they make an awkward little bump in your pocket, with the iPad's charger being a little larger and even more obtrusive.

Perfect Photo editor for iPhone is free this weekend
Perfect Photo is a photo editor for the iPhone that was easily worth the US$2 asking price, but this weekend you can grab it for free.
Perfect Photo has 28 tools including red-eye removal and a capable healing brush. There are the usual cropping, saturation, sharpen and shadows tools. The sharpen tool is particularly nice because it splits the screen and shows before and after images.
The app also includes filters to posterize your images, or make them look like pencil sketches or vintage photos. You can take pictures from within the app, save them to your photo album, or share via email, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Tumblr.

Native Instruments debuts first iOS app, iMaschine
For some time I've wondered when and if Native Instruments would enter the iOS music-making market. Being that they have such a respected presence with their awesome music software and audio interfaces in studios and with musicians around the world, it was irresistible to think of Native Instruments producing something fantastic for an iOS device.
Now their first offering has arrived for the iPhone with iMaschine. As demonstrated by musician and soul singer Jamie Lidell in the video below, iMaschine is a song creation sketchpad. With a whole bunch of drum samples and beats, the ability to create your own one-shot samples using the iPhone's mic, virt

HP Pre 3 death not exaggerated, FCC autopsy reveals Verizon life that never was

Apple seen spending over $7.1 billion on supplies in 2012
Apple should be spending about $7.1 billion on its supply chain in 2012, not including another $2.4 billion in prepayments to suppliers, says BusinessWeek. In a profile of Apple's approach to supplies, the publication cites interviews with Apple workers, supplier executives and management experts as evidence that Apple has used deals and bulk prepurchases to ensure a constant flow of cheap parts. The strategy has also reportedly interfered with the ability of competitors to operate, however.

AT&T moves estimate of T-Mobile merger close to spring
AT&T in an SEC filing late Thursday slipped out that it expected at least some delay in its attempted merger with T-Mobile. After originally telling investors that it planned to close the deal in or before early 2012, roughly a year after signalling its plans, it now expected the deal to close in the "first half" of the year. It reiterated the known $3 billion breakup fee if the deal is blocked or falls apart, as well as the required spectrum transfers and roaming deals.

Korean bendy memory could make plenty of trendy tech
Flexible displays aren't much good unless there's flexible memory alongside. It's been attempted before, but bending memory pushes the individual transistors so close that they begin to interfere with one another -- causing degradation and shortening the device lifespan to just a single day. The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has solved the problem by pairing transistors with memristors, which are immune to such annoyances.

Analyst: Nokia profit down to where Apple was four years ago
Apple has put Nokia in nearly the same market position it was in four years ago, Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley said in a research note on Friday. Where the iPhone had four percent of the cellphone industry's profits in 2007 to Nokia's 67 percent, the rapid Nokia share decline and Apple's own rise to number two have reversed the situation. Apple now makes over half the profits in the business at 52 percent, while Nokia is at the exact same four percent as the company it once dismissed.

OCZ expects to ship cheap TLC solid state drives in early 2012

The company expects to release its first TLC drive early next year, with a vaunted 30 percent price reduction compared to current MLC drives, which are themselves much cheaper than SLC. The downside is shorter life expectancy, which will be as low as four years, but more durable forms of the technology are due to arrive later in 2012.

Canon C300: Hands-On und Videos der Kino-Kamera
Filed under: Digitalkameras
Canon hat es geschafft nichts vor der Ankündigung durchsickern zu lassen, aber es musste einfach eine Konkurrenz zur RED Epic oder der Arri Alexa kommen. Die Idee: Mit einer Kamera die 20.000 Dollar kosten wird, wenn sie im Januar rauskommt, Canons Einzug in die Hollywoodstudios zu sichern. Das wird nicht einfach, aber Canon gibt einem ein paar gute Argumente in die Hand. Zum einen ist die C300 für eine Filmkamera extrem kompakt, und lässt sich so für Situationen einsetzen in denen ein klassisches Equipment etwas zu umständlich ist. Auf einem kleinen Helikopter oder mal eben aus der Hand schiessen ist damit kein Problem. Mit einem CMOS Super 35mm Sensor und 4K Auflösung gibt es sie in einer

MacTech 2011: What keeps Aaron Hillegass up at night
Big Nerd Ranch founder Aaron Hillegass took the stage at this week's MacTech Conference 2011, and his talk was labeled, simply, "Going Mobile." That's a big topic, so after going through a few reasons why business and individuals might be for and against making mobile apps (all pretty standard discussion in the industry around the App Store), he discussed his concerns about the mobile industry; the things that "keep me up late at night."
What followed were a few questions (mostly unanswered) that Hillegass has been thinking about, relevant to IT professionals, developers and really anyone who's used Apple's mobile products. Hillegass' talk was surprisingly honest -- he tackled quite a few issues during the s

As of March 1st, 2012, Apple will require all apps available in the Mac App Store to be "sandboxed," which Apple says is "a great way to protect systems and users by limiting the resources apps can access and making it more difficult for malicious software to compromise users' systems." The other side of that coin is that by limiting access to said system resources, applications are also more limited in what th

The ongoing legal battle between Apple and Samsung over various design and patent infringements took another turn when court papers filed by Apple revealed that a European Commission panel on competition has "opened an investigation to determine whether Samsung's behavior violates EU competition laws."

College students unveil the Kiira EV, Uganda's first electric car (video)
Take a good look at that lime green hornet pictured above, because it may just herald the dawn of a new era in Ugandan transportation. Known as the Kiira EV, this plug-in was designed by students at Makerere University in Uganda, where electric cars, as you might imagine, are something of a rare commodity. In fact, local media outlets are heralding the Kiira as the first EV ever produced within the central Afr

Motorola Facebook phone resurfaces as Motokey Social, destined for Telus?
If you thought we'd forgotten all about Motorola's little Facebook Phone that could, you'd be incorrect. Only known previously as the EX225, it appears the portrait QWERTY may have a final destination and name. According to YS Tech, the device seems set for a collision course with Telus as the Motokey Social, a prepaid feature phone that offers basic access to Gmail, Facebook and Twitter. The leaked specs are right on the money with what we've heard already: 2.4-inch touchscree

CBS boss reveals why the company is 'against joining Apple TV' (or Hulu)
There's been a fresh round of "Apple is building a TV" rumors lately, and now comments by CBS (which has been rumored to be working with Apple before) CEO Les Moonves during his company's earnings call may reveal more about what Cupertino would like to do. Many of the rumors are based on quotes by Steve Jobs in his biography that he "cracked" a way to make an integrated TV set that was easier to use, which would be a major jump from the current Apple TV add-on box. According to Moonves, responding to analyst questions about strea

Fifth Avenue Apple store renovation to be unveiled Friday
As reported earlier this week, Apple's Fifth Avenue store in New York City has shut down overnight -- a rare occurrence at the normally 24-hour location -- in preparation for the formal unveiling of the remodelled store's iconic glass cube, which appears to be scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday morning, according to a note on the store's web page. MacRumors reports that workers have removed a portion of the white covering that is below the fence level of the renovated store.

Canon preps full-frame EOS DSLR with 4K video
Mentioning it just at the end of the unveiling of the EOS C300, Canon has shown an early prototype of an upcoming pro DSLR with record-setting video. The unnamed prototype would have a full-frame CMOS sensor and could shoot 4K (usually 4096x2160) video at 24FPS when using Motion JPEG. Very little else was mentioned, although it had the same red "C" badge from the C300 that denoted the Cinema badge.

Amazon may scale down next Kindle Fire to 8.9-inch display
Amazon's follow-up Kindle Fire may use a smaller screen than originally planned. Part suppliers claimed late Thursday that Chungwa Picture Tubes and LG Display, both of whom already make Kindle Fire displays, were ramping up their production for Amazon 8.9-inch screens. The Digitimes sources didn't have a timeframe, although they left room open for an iPad-like 9.7-inch version or the 10.1-inch panel that others had rumored might come.

RED at its own camera event showed its long-delayed, finished version of the Scarlet. The new version has gone from a complete camera to a central body and sensor that fits into the RED modular system.

Daily Mac App: Screen Snake
Remember the old cellphone game Snake? It's been around longer than I've been alive, but became a hit once it became standard on Nokia cellphones. I have fond memories of standing in cold registration lines in college and playing the game as I waited to sign up for classes.
Screen Snake is a free version of that game that's been ported to the Mac. It's as easy to play as the cellphone version and launching the game automatically starts the snake crawling across your

Canon C300 cinema camera hands-on (video)
Man is this thing ugly. But when it comes to cinema cameras, looks are the last thing on a cinematographer's mind -- performance is where it counts, and with the Canon C300, its compact size is an asset as well. We haven't had a chance to shoot with Canon's new flagship cinema cam, but we've heard from plenty of folks who have, including director Vincent Laforet. The C300's incredibly compact size allows cinema photographers to work in environments that aren't typically accessible to big rigs -- you can shoot with this camera just as easily as you can with a DSLR, hand-holding it for quick shots, with a waist

Hitting it big in the App Store ... or not
Lots of developers are aiming for huge success in the App Store, and it seems like nearly every day we're reading about someone who made a big game and is picking up something like a million dollars a day from customers clicking that little "Install" button.
L'Escapadou didn't make quite that much -- it's a studio that works on "educational and fun apps for iOS," and in this blog post, developer Pierre Abel walks through the $200,000 the company has made on the App Store so far. As you can read, however, it's a combination of a lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck -- Abel worked for months on the few apps he's produced for the store, and only after he got covered in the press for the right audience did he

Kard Combat, Spy Mouse, more push big updates
Hothead Games' great freemium card game for iOS, Kard Combat, has gotten a big update this week in the App Store. The biggest new feature is a new "pass-and-play" multiplayer mode, which allows for two players with one iOS device in the same place to play their cards out, and then pass the device on to the next person. Obviously, it requires a little bit of honor on the part of players, but if you just want to play a friendly game of Kard Combat, it's a cool mode to try. Game Center multiplayer has also been added to the game to work inside iOS 5, and there are new UI updates and a few other new features in there as well.

Android phones tend to fail more than iPhone, BlackBerry
Android-based smartphones may be more prone to hardware failure than phones running iOS, Windows Phone, or BlackBerry OSes. A study, conducted by UK-based Wireless Data Services (WDS), has found that 14 percent of technical support calls regarding Android phones were related to hardware problems, compared to 11 percent for Windows Phone, seven percent for iOS and six percent for BlackBerry OS. The cost to wireless providers of returning the Android phones and repairing them could be as much as $2 billion annually, the company claimed.

Amazon introduces free lending library for Prime members

The equation goes like this: Kindle + Prime = about 5000 titles include a hundred or so current and former NYT best sellers.
This move leaves Apple's iBooks initiative further behind in terms of innovation and trailblazing. The Kindle app runs on most computers and devices, including OS X and iOS. iBooks is limited to iOS platforms only. Kindle has long provided person-to-
