Dropbox and Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2.

From Dropbox forum:

This version causes crashes in the latests developer preview of Lion. If you are using a developer preview we advise against running this version. We’re working on a solution. Thanks.

Previously, Dropbox can be used with Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview (1) by changing the CFBundleVersion to 2.0. Apple Engineers warned that Mac OS X Lion blocked Dropbox from running due to some technical issue. Even though the modified Dropbox could run on Mac OS X Lion DP, it crashes the Finder.

Dropbox Engineers are aware of this issue.

Apple Explains White iPhone 4.5

On the First Day of April 2010 short of 10 months after iPhone 4 was introduced, Apple quietly releases details on the elusive White iPhone 4.

Introducing iPhone 4.5 with features such as:

  • This time it comes in White, for real.
  • Slightly lighter than iPhone 4.
  • Stronger Glass.
  • Available for GSM and CDMA.
  • New attenuation reduction coating.
  • Photo Booth.

When asked about iPhone 5, an Apple Executive who is definitely not Phil Schiller said:

“When we figured out how to make White iPhone 4 correctly back in December 2010, we decided to take our time working on iPhone 5. Besides we were planning to release iPhone 4 on Verizon in January 2011. We are proud of iPhone 4 breakthrough design and we want to take it further. We already finished with the design for iPhone 5 and it is currently being rigorously tested. Trust me when I say that Apple would not let anyone took the iPhone 5 testing unit to any bars. Some person from certain web-site might want to have it stolen. Anyway, we have pin-pointed one source of the leak on our end. For sure Scott or Greg or Chris or Matt or Phil or Steve won’t be talking to the blogger anymore. That 36composite site will no longer get any leaks from Apple.  Anyway, buy iPhone 4.5 this June, it comes also in white.”

iPhone 4.5 will go on sale after WWDC 2011 Keynote.

Amazon Cloud Drive and Cloud Player, Web and Android only.

Amazon introduces Cloud Drive and Cloud Player, for Web and Android.

Features:

  • 5GB of free Cloud Drive storage.
  • Any purchases made from Amazon MP3 Store are stored for free.

Set aside the whole licensing issue that Record Labels might bring up, Amazon Cloud Drive and Cloud Player are great for consumer. Amazon can sweeten the deal by selling CD+MP3 together. If you bought the CD+MP3 bundle, you could listen the songs instantly. In addition to that, this would give consumer more incentive for pre-order and react instantly whenever CD’s are leaked on the Internet.

Now, what about other platform, Amazon?
