Live TV on iPhone & iPad Next Month!
Live TV on iPhone & iPad Next Month! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Dish Networks is bringing live streaming to your iPhone and iPad next month. Sling technology is being added to their DVR’s and current customers will be able to either upgrade the DVR or add a SlingBox to activate this feature.
Even though Dish already has a mobile app that lets you control your programming remotely, this update will stream the current programming that is available on their network directly to your mobile device! If you have one of the newer tuners from Dish with 2 tuners, you will be able to use one of those to tune into a different program than the one being watched on the TV.
It seems now that if other TV services want to stay competitive (Comcast, we’re talking to you), they would need to offer similar features. Don’t know about you, but between Hulu+ and this, I think I’m going to have all the mobile TV I can handle.

T-Mobile, Not Verizon is Getting the iPhone!
T-Mobile, Not Verizon is Getting the iPhone! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Looks more and more likely that T-Mobile is poised to get the iPhone before Verizon gets it. CultofMac says that Apple and T-Mobile are now in the final stages of an iPhone agreement and can put the iPhone into the T-Mobile network before the end of 2010.
Recently, Deutsche Telekom’s CEO told the Financial Times that T-Mobile USA will get the iPhone this year.
So the question is, if T-Mobile really does get the iPhone, will Verizon?

Antenna Issue Might Still Have a Software Fix.
Antenna Issue Might Still Have a Software Fix. is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
We should have a clear answer to this today, but the NYTimes seems to think that there might be a software fix for the antenna problem.
One person with direct knowledge of the phone’s design said Thursday that the iPhone 4 exposed a longstanding weakness in the basic communications software inside Apple’s phones and that the reception problems were not caused by an isolated hardware flaw. Instead, the problems emerged in the complex interaction between specialized communications software and the antenna, said the person, who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter. The person said the problems were longstanding but had been exposed by the design of the iPhone 4. All cellphones can be affected by the way a hand grips the phone, but well-designed communications software compensates for a variety of external factors and prevents calls from dropping…and Steve Jobs didn’t learn of the problem until last month.
It seems then that an update could possibly fix the problem. If that was really possible though, why hasn’t Apple put that into the OS 4.1 release? I guess we will find out today.
iOS 4.1 Bluetooth Playback Control (AVRCP) is Added
iOS 4.1 Bluetooth Playback Control (AVRCP) is Added is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Users who have updated their iOS devices to the newest iOS 4.1 have found that AVRCP compatibility has been added. AVRCP lets cars control the iPod app through their paired Bluetooth connection.
Users can now skip forward, back, and control volume according to the reports (Apple hasn’t released the full list of 4.1 features as of yet). Of course if you’ve paid for one of those expensive iPhone adapters for your car, you’ve been able to do all of this for a while, but having it available without spending an extra $ is pretty nice, and also much safer than trying to fiddle with the phone to make changes while your driving.
Apple Media Conference On Friday
Apple Media Conference On Friday is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Looks like Apple is caving in, and they have announced today that they will be holding a media and press conference on Friday from CA. It usually take a lot of public pressure to get Apple to change their ways (last time was the $100 credit they gave out to users who bought the iPhone at $600).
Speculation has been high that this event will address the recent media coverage given to the antenna issue, especially since Consumer Reports recently did not give Apple their recommended rating like they have for the prior iPhone models.
Is Apple going to spend the estimated 160 million to give out free Bumper cases? Are they doing a Toyota type recall and spending 1.5 Billion to swap out phones? Or are they simply going to come up with another ’software’ fix for a hardware problem?
Only time will tell, but we’ll be here to let you know what happens as soon as it does!
