Interested in jailbreaking your iPod touch 4G? Well if you do you may want to be careful about it.There was all kinds of news surrounding the jailbreaking of the iPhone 4 earlier this year when it came out. It seemed there were a few security risks involved, which is no surrise when you can just go to a site and jailbreak your iPhone just by visiting it. Well it seems there's another site set up for jailbreaking your Apple products, including the iPod touch 4G. The site is called iPhoneUnlocking.com and there are people coming out of the woodworks saying it's just another scam. It's tempting to break your Apple product because it opens the door for all kinds of third party apps and stuff like that. But you can put your privacy at risk, as well as lose the warranty on your product as well. So be cautious when thinking about doing any kind of jailbreak. I don't recommend it. But if you choose to, it's best to not go to a site that offers you the opportunity by just visiting. Instead, do it the old fashioned way. Go to YouTube and find a video on how to do it.

Apple sells 60,000 iPhones in China on launch date
On Saturday the iPhone 4 was launched in China and was received quite well. Over 1000 people lined up outside the new Apple store in Beijing to get their hands on the new iPhone. It's said there were over 60,000 iPhone 4 units sold on Saturday.
The official Chinese carrier of the iPhone 4, China Unicom, said it also took over 200,000 pre-orders for the iPhone. The demand was so strong that online pre-orders had to be ceased. This is a lot better than the last release of the previous iPhone in China. Last year the previous iPhone model was released in China and sold 100,000 units in a 6 week period. This was due in large part to the the fact that there was no WiFi capabilities per the request of the Chinese government. This is a promising launch for Apple in China which is looking to start building a developing market in the giant nation.If you'd like to get your hands on an iPhone 4 here's your chance.

Possible reason for white iPhone 4 delay
The white iPhone 4 has been delayed now for quite some time. there's been a lot of speculation as to why it's being delayed but none of the speculation has been proven. Not that it's proven now, but there is another possible reason surfacing as to why the delay is happening.
Word is coming out that the white iPhone 4 proximity sensor was not working properly. According to reports the white iPhone 4 proximity sensor was able to transmit signal but was not able to receive them properly. Here's a blurb from the article reporting it: The story goes like this. Initially, the White iPhone 4 didn’t allow infrared sensor to transmit and receive signal properly. So, designers decided to apply small holes on top of iPhone 4, just above the speaker. Soon it was realized that the holes can be seen clearly from the sensor and they decided to apply a metallic film which reproduced the same color of the edges of the iPhone. In initial testing it was discovered that this film which is opaque from front and metallic from back can transmit signal properly. But it was bit late when they discovered that there was problem in receiving signals which led to proximity sensor malfunctioning and the production has to be postponed to a later date.Apparently the problem has been resolved and the white iPhone 4 will be available for Christmas. But we've heard that one before.Find out how you can win an iPhone 4 by clicking here.Tuesday, September 21, 2010
iPod touch 4G could be available in flat black
Apple just released the iPod touch 4G recently to rave reviews. It sold as many as 700 units in some stores in the first three days of it's release. No surprises considering all the new features. As per usual Apple will certainly be releasing more options as far as colors go. And one of those options could be a flat black, which seems to becoming very popular especially on cars. So why not add it to the iPod lineup? It will be different than the Apple iPhone 4 because it could feature a stainless steel back cover. As of right now these are just rumors but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple pulled the trigger on this one. They love to add all kinds of different and unique colors to the iPod lineup and flat black would definitely be a great option for consumers.

Apple is looking to expand into one of the largest markets in the world. On September 25th, the iPhone 4 will be released in China. The 16GB model will sell for $745 and the 32GB model will sell for $893, without contracts.

They are also opening up two more stores on the same day as the release, one in Shanghai's Hong Kong Plaza and another in Beijing's Xidan Joy City.

Costco stacked to the brim with new iPod
If you're wanting the new iPod touch 4G, but are having a hard time finding one then you may want to head over to Costco. Apparently they're stocked up on the 8GB model and all nano models. In Los Angeles anyways.
The new iPod touch has been selling like Ric Flair over the past 3 days. Some Apple stores are reporting selling over 700 units in that time frame. Those are some good numbers, which Apple has been doing a lot of lately. The iPad and iPhone 4 were back to back the two most successful launches in Apples history. It's no surprise the new iPod is selling so well, it's quite the little unit. It's basically just like an iPhone 4 less the phone capabilities. But the cool thing is that it has facetime capabilities. It uses WiFi and you can connect with not only other iPod touch units with the same function, but iPhone 4s as well. Apple has done an amazing job of integrating all their products with each other. And once the new iPad comes out with it's front facing camera, it will almost get to a point where al you'll need are Apple products to communicate. Talk about a great set up.Wednesday, September 15, 2010
iPhone 4 antenna issue fading
A little while back there was quite a stir being caused by the antenna problem with the iPhone 4. People were up in arms over the fact that their brand new iPhones were dropping calls.
Apple scrambled to fix the problem. First by offering free cases, then with an iOS update they said improved signal strength. These seemed like just band aids and were alright temporary solutions but something more needed to be done. But as time has gone by, the problem seems to be fading. Less people are reporting dropped calls. And reports came out saying that there were no more dropped calls with the iPhone 4 than there were with the iPhone 3GS. Lots of possible reasons exist. AT&T could have very well been over their head with too many customers and not a good enough infrastructure. Then there's the whole media possibility. There's no doubt that there are a ton more media outlets now, like blogs, to blow stories out of proportion than there were several years ago when the iPhone 3GS came out. eWeek.com has come up with 10 reasons why the problem is fading from our memory. It's definitely worth checking out, here's the link. And if you'd like a chance to get your hands on the new iPhone here's your chance.

New iPod touch almost like an iPhone 4
So last week Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPod touch, and it looks a heck of a lot like the iPhone 4. As a matter of fact, a lot of people are saying it's just like the iPhone 4 minus the phone capabilities. Sign me up for one, that's for sure.
First off, ot has front and rear facing cameras, which makes it compatible for Facetime, it works via the WiFi connection. The 3.5 inch retina display is almost on par with the iPhone 4, so the screen is basically as good as the iPhone 4. You can also record HD video, minus the flash. It's a little thinner and shorter than the iPhone 4, but that's almost a good thing. All in all, the new touch is a near match to the iPhone 4. Not exactly sure when they'll be released but I'm sure I'll be getting one. Don't have the iPhone 4 yet? Don't worry about it.

White iPhone 4 may be out as late as January of 2011
The white iPhone 4 has been highly anticipated. Now it seems that people who want it may have to wait until next year to get it.
There are reports coming out that Apple may wind up releasing the white iPhone 4 as late as January of 2011. Who knows what the hold up is, but it's frustrating people (including me, I love white iPhones and I want this one bad). The initial thought was that the white iPhone 4 was going to be released by the end of July. But that rumor was quickly squashed. Apple then made a statement that it would be out later this year, how vague. It could be that Apple wants to make sure they have fixed any problems with the antenna before they issue any new iPhones. This kind of jives with the fact that some news was leaked that Apple would be bringing out new iPhones with the antenna problem fixed at the end of this month. Anyways, everyone has waited this long and it looks like they wait will still be on for some time. If you don't have an iPhone 4 and you'd like one, here's your chance.

Possible iPhone 4 hardware revision
The whole antennagate fiasco left a dark cloud over Apple and the new iPhone 4. But there could be a solution on the horizon.
It seems as though a top executive for Mexican carrier Telcel recently announced that his company will launch the iPhone 4 on Friday August 27th. He also stated in his press release that Apple is going to release an off cycle hardware revision that will fix the antenna issues and improve reception. The press releases states September 30, 2010 as the day the new hardware will ship, which coincides with the expiration of the free case offer Apple had come up with. There has been no confirmation of the possible upcoming fix from Apple however. Telcel is an authorized Apple dealer but this possible fix has to be confirmed before it holds any legitimacy, obviously. Lots of people will be keeping an ear out for any announcements from Apple in the coming weeks. Did you know you have a chance to win an iPhone 4? Click here to check it out.
