Ah dan error and emmanuel. Fries in my phone rumors rise yet again antenna issues part five and cisco has some interesting new video ideas. It's thursday july first two thousand ten times can re- and this is news from mac o. s. can. Brought to you by yours truly and supported by listeners like you subscribers to mac o. s. ten days six. More information is available at mac o. s. ken dot com the shows also supported by v mac o. s. can hide cast out for the i phone and i thought touch available and the outdoor now for two dollars and ninety nine cents a. Hey guess what horizons getting an ice phone. And i know what you're thinking but really this time and i for one and very excited because we haven't heard this rumor and. Gosh days this time it's bloomberg super respected financial site and it's down there is the mayor of new york city so. Maybe that means something they've got two sources no names of course because well people to talk about such things never have names though these two people are said to be familiar with the plans for the rise my phone. Which is what they so the last people who said there was going to be ever eyes night phone down the ones before them. Then the ones before them i think bloomberg the publication not the mayor's that's the device will be available to customers in january. Okay surprisingly both horizon and apple declined to comment for the story. It would suck right. And so we all go through the motions i tell you about it's though maybe not as. Right analysts analyze me in a while fortune has oppenheimer analyst year reiner going over what such a thing would mean for the players. According to the right man a bride and i phone would likely lead to twelve million additional units for apple a second u. s. carrier would dial some of the competitive threat from the n freud army. And even see support for the bloomberg rumor noting that a t and t's decision to make subscriber's eligible for an i phone for a year before their contract expired could mean something. Was it a last ditch effort to lock them and the new contracts before rising came aboard he wonders and again he argues fear of a rising deal rather than knowledge thereof. Might have been motivation enough. One last thing reiner to appears to be going through the motions a january d bulow not since the first i found his apple announced and i phone in january and it's never shipped and i phone in january. Would rise and just get a c d i may version of the current i phone for he asks would get a new life phone. Neither scenario makes much sense he concludes given that the i. phone just got a huge upgrade and that another isn't likely before mid twenty eleven. But it's bloomberg and some people may take the dog seriously what will that do the current i phone for sales on a t and t. Nothing and the opinion of u b s analyst maynard um. The mac observer has mister maynard thing in a research note we do not believe there will be a material impact the apple from horizon wireless customers deciding to take a chance on the news and wait for a c d m a i a phone rather than switch to a t and t. And yet stunningly um bull door things to bloomberg excuse me b spot on. He says the rumors are consistent with his firms view that a c d m a i phone could come to international carriers toward the end of the calendar year followed by br- rising wireless at some point after the a t and t exclusively ended at year and. The question was whether variety in an apple could come to a commercial agreement. The other question what makes them think the a t and t exclusively the end of the end of this year apple pretty much set a few months back the report saying that apple had an exclusive deal with the dat star for five years the getting in two thousand seven. Those were correct and that bless five years does not equal january two thousand eleven. But okay the u b s analyst does a by reading on apple shares enterprise target of three hundred twenty dollars u s. So this is funny. I mean. Funny. Background says apple is looking to hire aids count them eight and then engineers according to the p some of the new hires would be working on the antenna system architecture of the i phone and i pad. To optimize the radiation performance for wireless portable devices. I assume that means able to work better not able to cook things. Candidates will be expected to perform radiation performance measurements create test plans execute them published of reports provide feedback to the other design engineers and lead some of the manufacturing of antenna. Group or do you know cos looking for people with ten plus years of experience strong problem solving skills and strong working knowledge of radiation performance the company is also looking for two i phoned over the air wireless system engineers. Given all the icon boren tennis stories it's not hard to imagine that they'd also like someone with knowledge of trans dimensional worm holes who can start on the antenna design. Uhhuh a year or two ago. Barring time travel out is apple plan to deal with today's and done our problems not with free bumper is apparently seen that has a look at the issue starting with something that turned up in the inbox of boy genius report. B g r claims were received a list of procedures to be followed by apple care representatives. These are reportedly what they'll say when you call this a say what gives with my antenna. According to the less reps are meant to talk about the phone noting that i phone fours wireless performance is the best apple has ever shipped that gripping almost any mobile phone in certain places will reduce reception. But if you're having reception issues with i phone for avoid covering the blank strip in the lower left corner of the metal band. And yes the use of a case or bumper made a rubber or plastic may improve wireless performance by keeping your hand from directly covering those areas but no apple is not sending users affected by the issue of free bumper. No response from apple on whether the b g r list is the actual procedure last four apple care reps. Mean well the seen that piece notes to the software fix may still be in the works this goes back to the talk on apple support forms of an i o. s. board dot zero dot one update. That was quickly removed from apple support forums also there was the jobs email saying that there were no lie phone for reception issues and state too which a number of people thought indicated that the four dot zero dot one update was coming. That's possible he just like knowing that people are staying too and. How big a deal is the i've on four and ten issue big enough for the competition to dang that crunch has word of a full page ads for br- rises neutral it acts. Among the phones selling points and most importantly says the add it comes with the double intended design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you light. Looking for and i phone for in the u. k. best of luck and i mean that the telegraph out of the u. k. says the devices are getting harder and harder to find with and then story almost non existent and most networks entirely sold out. As of yesterday the p. says oh two was the only network but still had apples latest phone in stores. Which could be thanks to the carriers plan to sell only do existing customers for the first few weeks of the phone to release. No carrier is offering orders online for immediate delivery according to the peace with boat a phone apparently the only one offering a back order system letting would be buyers order now and take delivery as soon as there's a phone to deliver. An update for mobile me users i lounge says apple is rev the mobile me gallery after the i've on an i pod taj. Mobile made gallery one dot one dot one they said to add support for downloading higher resolution images using the one to bunch of an i phone for and a wife i network added in as well.

Says goes and getting into the tablet business no apparently not pretends to m'ers wired has word out of the sisco live in los vegas of the and really based c s. What's the p- says is aimed squarely at the business market. Video conferencing appears to be the devices flashes to claim to fame with seven twenty p capable cameras on the front of eats device and five megabit four cameras on the back. The c as well ship with three g capability wife by an eight hour battery life h d audio and video out. It's just go trying to sneak up on the i bad they certainly don't want anyone to think so if they are. A separate piece from computer world has cisco c. e. o. john chambers saying that the c s is not meant to be a direct competitive to the i a bad and that moving c as in to the consumer space hasn't been a point of focus. No word on how much the device will cost nor exactly when it'll ship just some time in twenty eleven. Is another area in which cisco says it has no intention of competing with apple nor research in motion nor motorola nor a host of other companies. And that would be smart phones computer world has chambers saying that his company has no plans to build a smart phone calling the possibility very unlikely. What they will do is try to make sure cisco systems please nice with every other smart phone out there we want every industry standard to interface that chambers we just want in a rapport ability we come out of the internet and that means and drop her ability.

One cisco systems will likely launch a wife i enabled version of it's flip camera by christmas. And to cisco fully supports apple space time video chad and is developing a video client that will soon someone the have store to support video on i phone for. So no plans for smart phones but could wipe five flip b a video only sort of phone. Martin the beer senior vice president emerging technologies it's just go is kinda cryptic which to be honest makes thinking about what he's saying pretty fun things like we didn't buy flip to have it be only a video recorder. Neat right since this is pretty much all flip was when they bought it. To be or wouldn't say for certain when or if y- if i was headed to the device choosing instead to point out that cisco hasn't announced anything but he's looking forward to christmas.
