iPhone LTE?

UPDATE:
My contact who may or may not be working for Apple on iOS devices just laughed when I mentioned “iPhone LTE” as a possible name for the next iPhone. When asked specifically about LTE in the next iPhone, my contact said: “You know I can’t confirm nor deny that.”

Whispers from Cupertino mentioned “iPhone LTE” instead of “iPhone 5” as the name for the next iPhone. Take it with a grain or a boulder of salt. It is pretty apparent that Apple won’t be using “iPhone 4G” name since “4G’ doesn’t really mean anything anymore.

A source who is not Phil Schiller has been hinting that the next iPhone wouldn’t be called “iPhone 5” since the release of iPhone 4S.

All Squared Up.

If you own a small business and you want to accept card card as payment then it couldn’t be any easier these days.

About a week before Christmas 2011, I helped setting up credit card payment system using Square for a small bakery in the Long Beach, California. All they need are: a wireless access point, an iPod touch and Square card reader. In addition to that, they are also accepting card payment at farmers market in Long Beach, Culver City and Pasadena. According to the bakery owner, they are gaining new customers by simply accepting card payment.

The next project is to redesign Sconeage Bakery website.

 

A little project.

I found an iPhone original with broken On/Off switch. So I opened the back to see if I could somehow repair the On/Off switch. It took 30 minutes to pry open the aluminum back casing only to conclude the On/Off switch is completely broken. If only I could find a replacement aluminum back casing this iPhone original.

The Year Ahead: 2012

It is 2012 and I started the year by watching “2012” the movie. I’m looking forward to see what 2012 has in store for us.

  • 2012 is a Leap Year.
  • United States Presidential Election will be held in 2012.
  • What would Apple do in post-Steve Jobs era?
  • What would Google do with Motorola?
  • What would become of Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA).
  • There’s Windows 8.

What I’ve heard:

  • Adobe Creative Suite 6 might include the new De-Blur filter.
  • Photoshop Touch is coming to iOS/iPad.
  • The next iPhone after iPhone 4S is the one I want according the mysterious Apple employee.
  • The next iPad is another incremental upgrade from iPad 2.
  • Interesting new MacBook Pro design.

Well, I wish you all the best possible outcome in 2012.
