There was a lot of new features dished out of WWDC for the upcoming iOS 5. We have asked for many of these features. For instance....

No more popups! We welcome the all new Notification Center with open arms.

Safari has also been revamped and will be able to be synced to all iOS devices as well as OSX Lion. Safari will now have real tabs instead of the old thumbnail view.

Reminders app, finally a genuine to-do list app that will be synced between all iOS 5 devices and OSX desktop/laptop. Reminders is also location aware. For example you can create a to-do list that will pop up when you enter your local grocery store and will include your shopping list. Quite nice!

Camera App gets a much needed upgrade as well. No longer is the app just a viewfinder, it now will include basic photo editing including sharpening, shadows, highlights, color correction, etc. Now on the lock screen there will also be a camera button that will enable you to quickly get to the camera app without losing the moment. Apple has finally also allowed the ability to use one of the volume buttons to be used as the shutter button. No more fishing for the touch based version!

Twitter integration everywhere in iOS 5. Tweet till your hearts contend.

Newstand basically iBooks for newspapers and magazines.

New Mail app. You have to admit the mail app sucks, even after the upgraded in iOS 4. In iOS 5 rich text formatting, indentation control, draggable email addresses all make an appearance. We shall see how that works.

You no longer need to be tethered to a PC. With iOS 5, users can open the box and start using their device right away. You can sync music via iCloud and never need a desktop or laptop again for your iPhone/iTouch/iPad needed.  Very nice.

iMessage which will closely resemble BBM from the Blackberry world. iMessage will work on all iOS 5 devices and allows users to leave a conversation on one device and pick it up on another. Problem with this is it's Apple only.

Other big updates include personal dictionary, customizable vibration alert, iTunes Wi-Fi sync, advanced gestures, Emoji, LED Flash on incoming calls and alerts, hourly weather forecasts, etc.

Check out the replay of the WWDC keynote 2011 for even more updates on iOS 5, OS X Lion and iCloud.

It's finally here!

The white iPhone 4 is finally here!!!

The black iPhone 4 has been out since June 24th of 2010 due to issues with production the white iPhone 4s didn't quite make it out in time for the June 24th launch. Originally Apple said that the white iPhones would be delayed by a few weeks, then weeks turned into months and here we are today stating that the white iPhone 4 will be available tomorrow at retailers.

Apple was only 43 weeks late to the show... Are you going to buy a white iPhone 4 or wait till the iPhone 5 is out?

Over the weekend PopCap Games ran a promotion where all the sale proceeds goto the Red Cross to help out the Japanese.

We just received word that PopCap has raised over $200,000 which is heading over to the International Red Cross for use in their ongoing efforts to provide food, shelter, medicine and other items that they need over in Japan.

Our hats off to PopCap Games for their fundraising efforts!

Japan is clearly in a time of need and lots of people are trying to find ways to help in all different ways. PopCap Games is going to discount all of their iPhone/iPad adaptations of their games including Bejeweled, Bookworm, Chuzzle and Plants vs Zombies for 48 hours starting Saturday March 19 at 12:01 a.m PDT and ending March 20th at midnight.

PopCap will then donate all their revenues from the sale  to the Red Cross to help in the Japan relief effort due to the horrific earthquake/tsunami on March 11th.

iPhone versions of PopGames will be $.99 during the sale and iPad versions will be $1.99.

“We recently opened an office in Tokyo, and while our Japan-based employees are safe and uninjured, we understand countless others in Japan need food, shelter, and medical attention,” said Ellen Marett, Senior Director of Workforce Culture at PopCap. “Given that Plants vs. Zombies reached #1 on the iPhone and iPad sales charts in Japan, it seemed like the most appropriate game to feature in this fundraising campaign.”

On man...I'm psyched for this game.  I used to play the original Death Rally when it came out in 1996.  I still have it installed on my PC.  Hopefully this sees a release on the PC or Xbox Live Arcade!
