Apple Wants To Make Jailbreaking Worthy Of Jail Time, $2500 Fine

March 23rd, 2009 1 Comment

iphone The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has petitioned the Library of Congress to officially protect phone owners who bypass software restrictions on their phones—aka “jailbreaking.” Apple has just filed an objection, arguing that doing so would infringe on their copyright. If Apple gets its way,

would have the right to claim statutory damages of up to $2,500 “per act of circumvention.” People who jailbreak phones, might even be subject to criminal penalties of as long as five years, if they circumvented copyright for a financial gain.

The big question, of course, is who really owns your damned phone? Apple says that bypassing their software restrictions messes with the “chain of trust” they’ve set up and screws up their “ecosystem.” The EFF counters that if you apply Apple’s argument to another industry, it falls apart:

Several retailer in the U.S. reduced the price of makbuki.  Naturally, this is possible only with the consent of Apple: price dropped from $ 1100 to … $ 800 – at $ 300, just unbelievable! History reminds the situation with the iPhone, when in September 2007, the retail price of the 8 GB model has plummeted from 600 to 400 dollars.

Changing riteylerovskoy policy could serve as a signal to expand the price range makbukov before launching a new model, which is expected on 14 October.

Apple ‘iPhone 3G’ to be released in ‘20 more countries’ on August 22

August 11th, 2008 No Comments

After the launch of Apple’s iPhone 3G in 21 countries around the world, the company has decided to launch the product in 20 more countries on August 22. Since its release, the product has been doing very good, but at times it has faced some problems specially in the US regarding the system activation.

Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Peru, Romania and Uruguay will be handled by ‘America Movil’. ‘Telefonica’ will be looking after some of them.

AppleLatvia and Lithuania will get their hand on the product with the help of ‘TeliaSonera’. Globe Telecom and O2 will deliver the product in Philippines and the Czech Republic respectively.

T-Mobile and Orange will look after Slovakia. The prior will be looking after Hungary alone where as the later along with Era will take care of Poland.

TeliaSonera and EMT will be looking after Estonia. India will be handled by Vodafone and Bharti Airtel.

India is considered to be one of the big markets and will probably do business better than others. Its population is over 1 billion. Both the companies which will be looking after iPhone 3G’s distribution in India, contains a combined number of 118 million subscribers.

Over the next several months, Apple will be expanding its product in more than 70 countries.

iPhone 3G Now Readily Available In All Apple Stores

August 11th, 2008 No Comments

As of 12:30 AM Eastern time today, all 190 Apple stores in the United States showed iPhone 3G’s in stock. So if you’ve been waiting to buy your 3G, now is the time. However, just because all Apple stores refilled their inventory, don’t think the same regarding AT&T. AT&T stores are still keeping their shelves pretty scarce while trying to fill the massive amounts of iPhone 3G back orders.

So if you’ve had the “I want an iPhone 3G but I don’t wanna stand in line or wait for weeks” mentality, then this is your moment.

Steve Jobs: 60 million iPhone apps downloaded, confirms kill switch

August 11th, 2008 No Comments

Steve Jobs, presumably speaking from a hyperbaric chamber where he’s being nourished with an infusion of liquified developers-souls before his next public appearance, had a few interesting tidbits about the AppStore for the Wall Street Journal this morning. Namely, users have downloaded some 60 million programs for the iPhone representing sales of about $30 million since the launch last month — a 30/70 revenue split between Apple and developers, respectively. “The thing’s going to crest a half billion soon,” Jobs added, “I’ve never seen anything like this in my career for software.” He went on to say that phone differentiation is no longer about radios and antennas (or uh, battery life) but about software. Steve also confirmed the controversial iPhone application kill switch in the event that Apple inadvertently approves a malicious program for distribution. Jobs said, “hopefully we never have to pull that lever, but we would be irresponsible not to have a lever like that to pull.” As to the $999.99 I Am Rich application, the dubious download that displayed nothing but a glowing red gem, pulling that from the store was a “judgment” call. Sure, but that doesn’t explain how it made it through the vetting process to begin with.
