Finally released and available in the app store! Unfortunately it keeps crashing whenever I try to make a call, and according to the comments in the official blog post, I’m quite sad to say I don’t seem to be the only one having this problem. Here’s the official press release.

Chat seem to work fine though. Make sure to provide Skype with your feedback!

Found a quite good review over at PC World, make sure to read up!

Maybe not a surprise because of the buzz surrounding the Keynote, but I still think the amount of changes and improvements to the next generation operating system for the iPhone and iPod touch came as a bit of a surprise. The numbers weren’t that bad either.

Apple’s Marketing Manager for iPhone and iPod, Greg Joswiak kicked off the event by presenting some very impressive snapshot numbers. How about:

• There have been 17 million iPhone and 13 million iPod touches sold in the last two years
• There are over 30 million devices running the iPhone OS
• There are about 50,000 registered application developers, 60 percent of these have never developed for any mobile platform before
• The App Store has over 25,000 apps available
• The number of downloads from the App Store to date? 800 million (!)

Scott Forstall, Senior VP of iPhone Software Engineering continued to detail some of the features and the over 1,000 new APIs that will become available to developers. Developers can now easily sell additional content directly from within an app, which is likely to be a huge success. If you’re a game developer, users can now purchase additional levels from within your app. Apple will handle all the logistic and take a 30 percent piece of the pie. Not bad. Free apps will however remain free, and will not be able to offer this functionality. Check out some of the other features offered by the new SDK.

A great day for Apple, yet again.

Respectfully mine mister.

Läste idag att Aftonbladet har byter för telefoni. Ett jätteavtal över 2 år med TeliaSonera innebär att alla anställda får en iPhone, hela Aftonbladet går således över till 3G kommunikation. Så småningom är det tänkt att samtlig fast telefoni ska kastas ut till förmån för iPhonen. Vackert!

The new MacBook 13″ is filled with:

• Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2 or 2.4 Ghz)
• 2GB DDR3 Memory 
• 160GB or 250 GB hard drive
• NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics. 

The new MacBook Pro 15″  contains:

• Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2.4 or 2.53 Ghz) 
• 15-inch widescreen 
• 2GB or 4 GB Memory
• 250GB or 320 GBhard drive 
• NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with either 256MB or 512MB.

I want one.

The only thing we know most likely will happen is that Apple will announce a new family of MacBooks that will abandoned Intel’s integrated graphics chipsets for those part of NVIDIA’s new mobile platform. This has been “confirmed” across several resources.

You can follow the event on the Gizmodo Liveblog.

Does anyone remember this? Apple has come a long way!

Interesting reading. A couple of people have already updated with success, but I’d say that waiting a couple of days is probably smart in order to see what the exact effects are in terms of Jailbreaking etc. Most importantly, don’t forget to backup!

Functional highlights include:

11:07AM PT – “It’s super easy to download these docs and look at them on your iPhone. We’ve also added bulk delete and move, it’s rather handy. And the ability to save images you might get in an email, tap on them and save them to your library. The calc has a scientific mode… we’ve added parental controls. Teenagers might not like this, but that’s the way it has to be.” All the stuff we saw a couple months back.

“Isn’t that fantastic? This is going to be great. In addition… we’ve got a few new features. The first one: contact search. Type in a few chars, instantly find who you’re looking for. Second? Full iWork document support — Pages, Numbers, and of course, Keynote. Great way to look at your iWork docs on the go. And we’ve completed MS Office support: Word, Excel, and now PowerPoint, too.” (From Engadget.com)

The much wanted MobileMe has been presented as well, it seems Apple has finally realized the importance of Cloud Computing. 3G is out in the open! Numbers on how the performance compares to EDGE is presented. Priceguess and report from and for Sweden (AB).
