We all know that Apple makes iPads, iPods, iPhones, portable media players, TV set-top-boxes, displays and dozen of other things. It has not made any wrist watch but now it has done it. It's been called as the "new iPod nano".

This kind of concept was introduced by LG at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2008. It was an watch phone concept which gave an upswing trend.

This latest gadget from the Apple can switch between a wrist watch and an iPod which can play users audio playlist as well as videos. There is a button which helps in switching the screens from the time screen to player screen. I doubt on the battery backup as the clock will be continuously running and in parallel the songs are played. Definitely the geek fantasy or the Apple lovers will go for this gadget without fail. It could have been even better if they had implemented bluetooth technology instead of plug-in earphones flopping around.

Apple is been wrestling with a security conundrum from past few months. Now Apple has come up with a patch to fix this problem.

There is a security flaw in the Apple gadgets where the hackers can remotely hack or Jailbreak the iOS, the Operating system of the Apple gadgets such as iPods, iPads and iPhones. Apple has said that they have completed the creation of the patch for this flaw but still it did not said when it will be released publicly.

Jailbreak means hacking the Operating System to download various web applets which is considered to be very difficult. It was shocking for the Apple Inc. when they saw a website called JailbreakMe.com which helped in Jailbreaking the iPhones or iPads. Last week yet another procedure was posted on this website where a user can remotely hack the Operating system of the other users which made the things worsen. The hacker can then gain the complete control of the device. As of now there is now such attacks happened yet. But this is supposed to be considered as a very serious thing where it affects security and privacy issues.

On Wednesday, a German government agency issued an official warning about a flaw that that appears on the Apple gadgets such as iPhone, iPad and iPod's.

The flaw was that, the hackers could easily gain the access to the data stored on the Apple's gadgets just by putting a PDF file on the website and luring the people to visit their website. The website will contain an hidden code that hacks the systems data easily. This flaw became more popular and drew peoples attention when it helped the people to "jailbreak" their iPhones in order to run the programs where Apple Inc. has not approved for sale in its iTunes store.

But on Thursday, Apple Inc. declined to say whether it knows about the malicious hackers were actively exploiting the flaw. It also did not say regarding availability of the software that will fix the flaw.

Apple said that its latest model of iPhone will become available in more than a dozen additional countries starting this Friday. Apple Inc. has already sold more than 3 million iPhone 4 smartphones since its launch which was a month ago. Earlier iPhone 4 was available only in US, Britain, France, Germany and Japan. In US the cost of this smartphone is $199 for 16GB model and $299 for 32GB model.

From 30th of July, iPhone 4 will be available for sale in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The issue on wrong indication of Signal strength in the iPhone 4 is being corrected by providing bumpers which were made available through an application that can be downloaded to iPhones from Cupertino. Also the bumper which fits around the sides of the iPhone will be available for free to all the buyers of iPhone 4 smartphones through the end of September.

Apple, 3 weeks back launched its latest model of iPhone. In the first 3 days, it sold 1.7 million iPhones which outsold its previous version of iPhone. Soon after its release, even some issues raised.

In my earlier post i had written about the issue of antenna which is seen in Apple's latest iPhone. After hearing a number of complaints from the customers, finally, Apple Inc. has arranged a press conference which will be held on Friday. Apple Inc. will be discussing about their latest iPhone based on the complaints received regarding its antenna.
 
After a careful testing on the Apple's latest model of iPhone, Consumer Reports has concluded that when the iPhone is held in a certain way, the signal bar displayed is incorrect. Earlier Apple had told that they were using incorrect formula to indicate the signal strength and this can also be seen on other phones as well. But, Consumer Products did not find any signal problem in other phones. The signal problem occured only in latest iPhone model.

Consumer Products also have said that, covering the black spot with a case or a duct tape will eliminate the Signal problem. Now the speculations is that, Apple should provide "Bumper" case to the iPhone buyers which costs $29.
