Episode 235 Transcript
----------------------
On the last episode I mentioned that BGR was chastising two other sites for their record of past rumors - this being in regards to these two sites saying that the iPhone 2012 would launch on Sept 21st. Well now iMore is claiming to have even more info from their unnamed sources - which they claim said the Apple event introducing the iPhone 2012 would be on Sept 12th with the launch on Sept 21st - backing up what the sites BGR knocked were saying. And then All Things D and Jim Darymbell and a bunch of others are claiming they are hearing the same thing. Funny - BGR can't even be right about someone else being wrong when it comes to Apple rumors. Just sayin.
Anyway some of the other info iMore is claiming is that the iPhone Mini and the iPod touch 5th gen may also be announced on Sept 12th.
iMore is sticking with the 19 pin smaller dock connector - as well as a 4" screen for the iPhone 2012. As well as the latest rumor from iMore that all the iOS devices will be updated to the new smaller dock connector - so not only will the new iPhone 2012 be introduced with the smaller dock connector, but also the iPod touch 2012, and the iPad Mini 2012 and the iPad maxi - 2012 fall will be introduced with the new dock connector - this not to be confused with the new iPad 2012 Spring - with the 30 pin dock connector.
Yeah - if you are having a hard time buying that Apple would introduce a new version of the new iPad - the one introduced in March - well you would not be alone on that.
Putting aside for a minute that iMore's source is saying the iPad will be updated as well - or there will be an iPad mini announced - It does appear the sept 12 date is all but confirmed by Apple - as the typical apple media mouth pieces have all confirmed the date of the announcement and the launch date of the iPhone 2012. So based on assuming the Sept 12 announcement is real - some are now starting to speculate what that means for Apples competitors - and one that it appears to effect the most is Microsoft and their Surface tablets. But you know what - no one but Microsoft is to blame for that - they refused to release all the details about the surface earlier when they announced it and when they finally get around to announcing the details - all anyone will likely be talking about is the new iPhone 2012 and other potential new Apple products. Leaving Microsoft there to only make news by giving the price and battery performance of their surface tablets. And guess what the price while for the lower end will be close to or equal to the low end iPad 3rd gen - in that $499 price range - the higher end surface will likely be much higher and battery life is likely to be much much worse for the higher end device.
In other words when the rest of the world is fixated by new Apple toys - those covering MS surface or those MS are begging to cover them are only going to get to talk about pricing that is on par or slightly more expensive than the iPad and the Surfaces battery life being not nearly as good.
But then again - that is all just speculation. But the longer MS waits to reveal Price and real world tech specs - people will start to speculate
Microsoft would really surprise everyone if the low end Surface is less than the low end iPad and had better battery life - but even then - that likely would get over shadowed by the iPhone 2012 launch.
Yup kind of sucks to be launching anything new tech wise between Labor day and Halloween in the US this year that does not start with i and have an apple logo on it.
One thing about the Apple v Samsung trial going on that is nice is the info behind the curtain at apple we are privy to - that in the past we never would have been privy to. Such as when Apple executive Eddy Cue sent an email in January 2011 to CEO Tim Cook and others recommending that the company build its own 7-inch tablet.
Quote I believe there will be a 7-inch market and we should do one, unquote Eddie Cue wrote in the email. Well I guess if Apple execs were already starting to lean that way in Jan 2011 - maybe seeing a 7 or 8 in tablet in 2012 is not so far fetched after all. Especially now that the Nexus 7 is getting good reviews. Could / should be an interesting Sept 12 event.

Hi Rob,
There's been talk about the new iPhone possibly having a small dock connector. But, I am thinking, is there really a need for the dock connector at all?
We already have WiFi sync, AirPlay and AirPrint. What if Apple decided to include induction charging? There really would be no need for the dock connector at all.
Just a thought.
Tony L San Francisco
My thoughts on this are close to yours - except - I think there will still be a port on the bottom and it will be a mag safe type port for charging and audio / video in / out only.
Not for data sync'g which will be done via Wifi / bluetooth and NFC modes now.
I don't think it will be a 19 pin connector as reported in the past and present by many - but again a mag safe type port for charging / audio and video.
You kind of have to have a charging port for a device and can't rely on just inductive charging - especially for a phone - where you are mobile and will not always be near an inductive charging matt / station.
So there has to be a port - but I do agree that for sync'g the device - that no longer needs to be done via a port at the bottom, or top or sides for that mater.
More thoughts on this.
Hi Rob,
I don't believe there will be a 7" iPad, per se. The only thing it would compete with is the full-sized iPad. However, it seems to me that the dedicated mobile gaming market is something that Apple could exploit more - so a 7" iPod Touch marketed as such would be a good possibility.
Going back to the connector controversy, I don't see any point in going to a different connector if it uses the same basic technology - but I was very impressed by the magnetic power cable connection on the MacBook Pro my friend just got. Moving to new technology like that would be a big jump up.
Regards,
John.
I really don't want to talk about the Apple v Samsung case - just the juicy tid bits that leak out. That said there is a nice slide that breaks down Apples argument nicely - it shows the Samsung Smartphones pre and post the original iPhone launch - and well It is very clear post the iPhone - Samsung designs look like nothing they had ever done and the only way to show an evolutionary trend is by going through the iPhone.
Hi Rob
Ya think Apple's legal team has contacted him yet? Lol!
Ryan L
Thanks Ryan for the heads up on this - and this being that the president of Sharp confirms shipments of displays for the new iPhone begin this month. Dooohhh - I think that some suppliers are not as afraid of Apple now that Tim is in charge.
That said I also wonder if this might not actually be something Apple approved. Seems a lot of info getting out awfully early this year about that Sept 12th and Sept 21st dates. You know - a lot of current iPhone owners or wanna be iPhone owners are holding off now upgrading - but I have to image many buyers of other devices are holding off now - just to see what the new iPhone will really be like. I wonder if all these Apple Rumors are hurting the other guys sales this quarter.
Ok - iOS 6 Beta 4 is out. One of the biggest changes with iOS 6 beta 4 - or so I hear - Is the elimination of the Youtube app - That's right - the last app in on the original iPhone - the one we speculated about for weeks leading up to the launch of the iPhone - that same Youtube app - is now gone. Apples official wording about this is the following
quote Our license to include the YouTube app in iOS has ended. Customers can use YouTube in the Safari browser and Google is working on a new YouTube app to be on the App Store. unquote.
So what this means is now - if you want Youtube on your iOS device go in via safari to youtube.com - and then select the button that is the box with the arrow coming out and select "add to home screen" and that puts an icon on your home screen to quickly get you to Youtube - reality is it is not that big a deal once you do that - because you could not use the Youtube app in off line anyway - so a web app for youtube is close to the native app - but for many users - they just don't know about creating the icon on their phone and for then youtube usage will drop. As Apple said - Google is also going to come out with their own app you can install - but again people have to install it. Which is never ideal. Guess Google did not want to keep paying for placement. Actually googles response to this was
quote “We are working with Apple to ensure we have the best possible YouTube experience for iOS users.” unquote
Because you know having to find and download the Youtube app is soooo much better an experience for the endusers than well having it installed when you update your iOS software or get a new iOS device - Just sayin.
Oh well - I am sure there will be a lot of posts out about this over the next few weeks plus.
Into the email bag.
Hey Rob, Could you also include your Audible recommends in your show notes? Regards, Rel
Ok - I will try to remember to do that - for the last two weeks it has been cloud atlas - again I will try to remember to put that in the show notes for ep 235.
Hello Rob,
In order to get data and MMS working on Straightalk, here is a simple tutorial.
You will need either a T-Mobile or Verizon micro sim card as well as your Straight Talk card.
1st - Open an app such as the notes app.
2nd - Insert the non straight talk sim into the iphone. Go to settings, general, network.
Wait for the apn setting to come up and click on it.
3rd - Eject the non straight talk sim, and insert the straight talk sim.
4th - Double click multi task to the notes app. Wait until straight talk comes up on the carrier in the upper left corner.
Double click back to the settings where the straight talk info should be filled in the apn settings.
5th - Now you can replace the relevant information supplied with your sim card or from Straight Talk Website.
Hope this helps,
Curt
The most important metric for any public company is profits. Are you making money doing what you are doing.
And when you look at the mobile space - for quite some time Apple has been kicking butt and taking names when it comes to profits. IDC is reporting last quarter Apple generated a mind blowing 77% of profits from all the smatphones and tablets sold world wide.
Forget market share forget lawsuits and injunctions - just think 77% of all the profits from the mobile smartphone and tablet industry is going to one company and funding one companies R&D efforts. That bodes well for future cool products from Apple - well the future so bring I kinda need to wear shades.
Pocket Gamer did a test of 53 different tablets for battery life and the results. iPad 3rd gen was number 1 and iPad 2 was number 2. As if there was a doubt. They tested each device for web browsing over wifi - The 3rd gen iPad lasted 761 minutes that is about 12.7 hours. The iPad 2 lasted 590 minutes - in 3rd place was the Nexus 7 at 550 minutes. The average time was 381 minutes for the 49 non Apple tablets tested. So yes the iPad 3rd gen has double the battery life of the average non Apple tablet. In last two spots was the Asus EEE pad at 335 minutes - maybe they should rename it the eek pad. The Moto Xoom2 media edition tablet came in far worse at 221 minutes. Because nothing says are we there yet like kids whose tablet died with a couple hours left on your trip.
Be still my beating heart - an Apple TV story that is actually about an additional feature or in this case button or is it App - well either way Hulu+ has finally finally finally made its way on to Apple TV. If you do not see Hulu+ on your Apple TV - simply do a restart of Apple TV and you all see it appear. You can register for Hulu+ right from your Apple TV or do so from a webpage. If you do so from a webpage or already have an account you then just log into your account via the Hulu+ app on Apple TV.
Please note - Hulu+ does not - repeat does not carry AMC shows - it is more about the big network shows - especially NBC and FOX shows.
So if you are thinking about signing up for Hulu+ I highly recommend you see what shows they do cover first.
That all said you know if you have listened to this show for a while I used to bemoan that Hulu+ was not on Apple TV - it made it where to watch modern family I had to do it on my laptop or iPad. Of course I have long since given up on Hulu+ - Netflix is where I waste any free time these days
Thanks to John for this next one - which is just for Mac people and it is with regards to Mountain Lion - which is OS 10.8 - the latest version of the OS. And one of the great new features in OS 10.8 aka mountain lion is airplay mirroring to Apple TV. You do need a 2011 or newer mac for this to work. But this is a nice addition - One thing I am looking forward to using this for is DVD's. I have a Mac Book Pro 2011 - 15" and I use it for playing my DVD's I get from Netflix - now I can watch those on my big screen TV in my bedroom via Apple TV. Or at least I hope I will be able - I have not updated to 10.8 - as I need to do a screen cast - and so far the software I use is not 10.8 compliant yet. So anyway if anyone was able to airplay a DVD from Netflix via Apple TV to their big screen TV - please let me know.
Hi Rob,
Just wondering if you ever installed the back door for your phone with the glowing apple? And how did it go and work for you. Levi in Riverside, CA
Hi Levi - actually I did put the back case with the glowing Apple logo with Steve jobs in the logo - on my iPhone. It took a little bit to do and get it to connect correctly. But I got it done and showed it off last month at KFEST. It is still working - the only down side is that the edge of the back case is cracked or really separated from the seam. I think I did this when putting it back together - and let me tell you these 45 year old eyes had a tough time getting it all together correctly - it actually took a few tries.
My best suggest is set aside 4 hours to do this - it should take less - but if you have lots of time set aside - you might not rush it and do better than I did. I tried to originally do it under an hour - Nope - no way.
Also make sure to ground your self.
Again - it is working fine - except the back case is separated from the seam of the case.
FYI - No soldering is required - so if you need to bring your iPhone in for repair work - you can quickly remove the internal LED pad with no signs of anything having been done. Oh one other issue - some times depending on the shorts I am wearing you can see the logo coming through the pocket on my shorts. Which just looks strange. Until I show what it is - then it just looks uber geeky.
Hi, Rob,
Just got my Touchfire today. It's a Kickstarter project that is a thin membrane keyboard for the iPad that allows touch typing. It works great! It attaches easily to the Apple Smart Cover and just as easily rests on the screen keyboard when the iPad is in landscape mode. It stays in place using the iPad's magnets. You can rest your fingers on the keyboard as with a standard keyboard and not accidentally hit letters. Fantastic idea and stays with your iPad all the time and still allows the iPad to sleep when the cover is closed. I typed this email quickly and easily using the Touchfire. We're one step closer to laptop obsolescence...
Thanks for the show, Bob S
A little update on the Pair with Pear Kickstarter project I am sponsoring - Or should say that was on Kickstarter - seems the project is gone - off of Kickstarter - why you ask - seems it has to do with lawyers - Shock and dismay followed. Anyway here is the update from Brendan who was running this project.
Where is Pear on Kickstarter you ask or what has happend to Pear? Well, that’s a great question. Seems that someone thought we were treading on their trademark so they hired a bunch of lawyers and knocked on Kickstarter’s door. (I guess it’s too hard to just send a simple email…or pick up the phone…it’s not like we couldn’t have changed it over the next 4-8 weeks just prior to tooling. This is a “project” and we would have LOVED to have our backers feedback of our new design…)
Where is Pear on Kickstarter? Well, Kickstarter received the letter and then removed our project.
Where is Pear on Kickstarter? Well, we are down, but not out… We are going to use this time to finalize many of the requests our backers had.
Where is Pear on Kickstarter? We will be back… but, in case we need to contact you again, please do us a favor… send us an email: media@PairWithPear.com or follow us on twitter: @PearMedia1 or like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/PairWithPear
Oh yeah, and tell your friends… This will be a great story someday!
And the support we are receiving has been awesome! There are great ideas flowing in as well as people spreading the word. We have had contact via Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and our own site. Thanks!
Brendan.
I hope to have brendan on the show in the near future to go over his product - how it will work - and the night mare he is having with lawyers and kickstarter.
Hi Rob, Just backed this. think the idea is great. Tired of having to use a wii-mote for emulator games. regards, Levi
And what this is a project called the Bladepad - which quote turns your iPhone into a true gaming system complete with dual joysticks, dual bumpers and a detachable protective case. unquote - You know some of those cases that have a slider keyboard under that tucks away under the iPhone when not in use - that is the principle here except it is gaming controls that slide out of the way when not in use.
While it looks good - it is likely not getting funded - it is at only $12.7k vs a goal of 55k - and just 18 days to go.
If you want to help out on this one search for bladepad - one word in kickstarter.
Price for this is $69 buck.
Thanks levi for the heads up on this one.
Thanks to Tony for the heads up on this next one - Do you Remember the Pebble Kickstarter Project - the one that raised over $10 Million in Pledges. Yeah - Well success breeds imitation - and now there is another smart watch Kickstarter Project with a long list of features that sound pretty much like the Pebble - this one is called the Strata - and comes from the former connected team at Fossil. This one is not being funded at anywhere close to the rate of the Pebble. But if you missed out on the pebble or just are curious on how it compares to the pebble you ordered search for Strata over at Kickstarter or in the show notes for ep 235
FYI - they have raised over $236k which is pretty good vs a goal of 100k and they have 12 days left to go with funding ending on August 20th at 12:59 AM ET. So if you want this one - it will happen as they are past their goal.
Thanks to Thomas in Alabama for this next kickstarter project and it is a project that is funded - they had a goal of 50k and are at 72k with 20 days to go.
What is said project that is funded - it is called - Try iOS colon - iPhone App development course. So what is it - well it is per a course to teach iOS app development - quote learn how to build iPhone apps by watching videos and coding in your browser - no downloads needed unquote.
So for $25 - the price of one of those learn iOS dev books at Barnes and noble - you could get permanent access to the course once it is released.
If you have been saying you need to learn to code for iOS - this might be what you are looking for. At a min check out the video is you are curios - you have until August 28th at 7:01 pm ET. Search for Try iOS in kickstarter or look for the link in the show notes for ep 235 or go to code school dot com. Thanks again Thomas for the heads up on this one.
We have in the past mentioned how Verizon actively was pushing LTE only smartphone - read NOT the iPhone - But now BGR is reporting AT&T was going one step further - trying to push those that came in for an iPhone into an Android or Windows phone and that AT&T employees were not allowed to have an iPhone for their company phone. BGR's tag line is the three biggest letters in tech - if those letters are l i e - Yes I would agree - And this story smells so bad I can't believe others are reporting it - but they are. Sadly. AT&T for their part actually responded and to BGR and said unt uh. Why I feel this is just BS from BGR - one not one person before this story has sent in an email or phone call that they were steered away from an iPhone at AT&T Nor has that been reported anywhere else - 2. None of the AT&T employees that listen to this show have said they were not allowed to have an iPhone anymore nor was that reported anywhere else and Oh yeah the number 3 reason why this BGR story is BS is last quarter 75% of smartphones sold at AT&T were iPhones - that does not sound at all like a company that was steering customers from iPhones. Plus steering people from a phone they asked for makes no sense from a sales rep perspective - someone walks in the door asking for your most expensive phone - you write up the ticket run their credit check and get them signed up before they can change their mind. Duhhhh.
Hi Rob,
I while ago I did a beginner's Photoshop Touch Tutorial, and many people asked for a more advanced one.
So I just made one: http://iosstuffandreviews.com/2012/08/06/advanced-photoshop-touch-tutorial/
In this tutorial I went over some compositing and a little color correction.
Thanks for all that you do, I enjoy the show.

Hi Rob,
The Parrot ZIK bluetooth headphones (designed by Philippe Starck) are not only beautiful and elegant, but also has elegant external touch controls.
See the website here
The Parrot Audio Suite is a free app dedicated to the headset that will allow you to control active noise cancellation, equalizer and check battery levels
Just the way it's designed makes me want to go out a get one... if it didn't have a $399 price tag.
If any of the listeners have tried these, I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks Rob for all you do.

Hi Cameron - thanks for the heads up - I sent in an request for samples to test - surprise surprise no response yet. If anyone has tried these - please let us know how they worked are working for you.
Back to the emails -
Hi Rob,
Thanks for your show and your work. I have a basic question. Is there a way to place a podcast episode on "repeat"?
In the early versions of iOS, there existed a "repeat" button because podcasts were treated identically to songs. More recently, apple removed the repeat button for podcasts and replaced it with the"playback speed" button. But, even with that change, podcasts were essentially songs and thus any episode could be added to a playlist and the playlist could be repeated. Now, podcast cannot be added to playlists on the latest iOS and there is no simple way to automatically repeat an episode or series of episodes.
Is there a non-jailbreak solution to this problem? Do any of the third party podcasting apps allow for automatic replay?
regards,
Juan in Atlanta
Hi Juan,
With the Tii App you can go into the more tab and then settings and set it up to repeat current episode.
However with the Podcasts App that option is not there as you mentioned.
I will do a shout out to users of other Podcast catchers out there - which ones have a repeat that episode feature?
206-666-6364 - thats 206-moon-dog - or record your feedback and email it to today in iOS at gmail dot com.
Hi Rob. Here is a great Jailbreak tweak it is called Maximization It Gets rid of that pesky status bar in most Apps. Regards, Chris in London
Hi Chris thanks for the heads up - and the neat thing about this tweak is that you can choose which apps it is active for. So maybe you make it active for just mobile safari.
Hi Rob, Just ran across the tweak CameraConnector in cydia and bought it. Thought other listeners would be interested. regards, Levi
Thanks levi - and what CameraConnector is - is a tweak that allows you to use the Camera Connection kit from Apple on your iPhone and iPod Touch - yup - so up until now you could not connect you camera / usb device to your iPhone through the 30 pin dongle - just to the iPad - but this tweak lets you do just that.
Me personally as a podcaster am think an App like Boss Jock - would benefit from this - as it would or should allow you to connect a USB mic to the iPhone for recording on Boss Jock. Something to test out for sure. Search for CameraConnector - one word in Cydia.
It is $0.99 and it says it works with USB HID - human interface devices.
Under the category of how the heck did that get approved is the App - Amazon Instant Video. It is a free app - officially from Amazon - and just for the iPad - This is an app that works with a users Amazon Prime Instant Video account. Maybe Apple figures there are a bunch of people that got Kindles that have prime accounts - that now mostly use the iPad - and not the kindle fire - and they let the app in to appease that group. But just seems odd as it seems like a very competitive app to apples iTunes service. Any way if you are someone with an Amazon Prime account and you have an iPad - then you will want to check out the free Amazon Instant Video app.
Hi Rob,
A couple days ago, I started getting the error message below from PDANet. All I could do was exit with the Home button. Respringing and rebooting didn't fix the issue. I went onto Cydia and did a reinstall of the app. Works great, now.
Just thought I'd Pass along the tip in case you get other emails about the issue. I don't know what caused it. Regards, Steven (in Houston)
Rob
I am on Mountain Lion and am thinking of jailbreaking my iPad 3. Is it safe to use Redsnow as Absinthe doesn't work on ML. Is it a similar procedure
Please advise
Steve from AZ
Ummmm - I think so? Ok - that is not a really good answer - If anyone has used Redsnow with OS 10.8 - please let us know if all worked good for you with the jailbreak.
Hi Rob, i just downloaded the Directv app that claims that one can watch Directv programming anywhere. Problem is my iPhone 4s is Jailbroken and i guess i'm SOL. Just thought i'd let you know. Love the show and as always keep up the great work. Martin Infante Parlier, CA
Actually there is a jailbreak tweak I believe that hides the fact your are jailbroken - and I can't remember the tweak name. I think Chris in london had sent in an email on it in the past - but for the life of me I can't find it - and this email came in right before I started recording. So if Chris or anyone else can remember the name of the app - that makes other apps think you are not jailbroken - please let us know that app / tweak. Thanks
Hi Rob, I have listened to your show for a while now, you do a great job!
I am very interested in getting an iPhone, but I have a few questions. First I would like to buy the iPhone 4S unlocked from apple.com and use it on straight talk because I think its a great deal to get unlimited everything for 45$'s a month, But I hear all the rumors about a new iPhone coming out in the next couple months would you recommend I wait to buy that one? And if I would wait to buy that phone and it has the 4G LTE like the rumors say it will have will i still be able to buy a unlocked one at full price form apple and take it to straight talk? Even though it will be 4G and straight talk only only supports 3G could I just take to new iPhone to them and have it only work on the 3G? 4G is certainly neat but it does not appeal to me that much as I am in wi-fi alot and when I am not I really don't use anything that needs super fast data usually just internet radio and facebook... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely, Ryan
Rob-
I was considering buying a used iPhone 4 or 4s and using it on the straight talk program. I understand it needs to be a AT&T phone. I was looking for advice on buying used either thru Craigslist, eBay or someplace you would suggest. I am concerned about cost and ending up with a phone that has problems. I figured it would be best to wait till the next iPhone is released in order to take advantage of more people looking to upgrade. Any idea what will be a good price on either model at that time? I didn't find a article on your website on buying used, if missed it could you provide me with a link.
Thanks,
I had quite a few listeners email in about The FCC stopping Verizon from charging for tethering. I had the following feedback. Hi Rob, I believe what this really means is that third party tethering apps are not illegal, meaning apps like mywi and pdanet are legal. It does not mean that the carriers will be forced to stop charging for tethering. I also don't think this means that tethering for free apps will start appearing in the app store because Apple still has the right to regulate what is available in their own store, but they can no longer claim that you are stealing from them by using third party tethering apps. Verizon and other carriers, which will be forced to follow this ruling can still charge for tethering, but as this news becomes more out in the open they may re-think their price structure for tethering. No matter what, it is a good thing for the consumer

Todd P.
In the oh yeah - that is classic category comes the report of out london that Bill and Melinda gates were spotted and stopped on the streets in London by what appears to be some non-US olmpians and they ask for them to pose for a picture and Bill and Melinda graciously agree and once everyone is posing they pull out an iPad to take the picture. To which Melinda gates is heard saying you can't use an iPad to take the picture. I am assuming she meant it from a tact point of view and not a technical one. Still classic and almost as good as the Microsoft employee holding up his iPhone to take a picture of Steve Balmer.
Hi Rob, I have recently had a problem with my contacts where I have looked for a particular name (such as my wife's name) on my contact list and it hasn't been there. I noticed this happened before and after going into an apple store to speak to the tech guys, they told me it was probably something to do with google (as my default contact list is google) but somehow within 24 hrs it resolved spontaneously. It has recurred again twice in the last 24 hrs and I am tired of looking for contacts which I need every day (some of whom are on speed dial) and not finding them there having not deleted them. I find that if I scroll down in the contact groups and search in the gmail global address list I can then find them but this is annoying especially when u just for instance want to give someone a contact detail quickly or when there isn't any Internet connection.
I am tired of this happening and at this point would like to switch over all my contacts to iCloud now and I was wondering if u or any of your listeners know how this can be done. I will appreciate your help.
Thanks and keep up the good work. By the way love the show loads.

Hey Rob, just a quick question I'm wondering if you or your users know the answer to. How does the App store sort your available app updates? It doesn't seem to be by date or alphabetical order, and is there anyway to control this setting? Sometimes I do not update all my apps and I would like to be able to tell which ones have been sitting around for a while but it can be hard to keep straight without opening up each update since a new update will appear right in the middle of the list.
just wondering if anyone knows,
Thanks,
Ben
For those of you that use the Gmail for iOS App - just a heads up you have an update awaiting for you. For the most part it seems most of the changes we under the hood to help with performance. But one new feature lets users save picture attachments to their iOS photo library - which you know kinda sorta should have been there from day one.
This is not a podcast on Android - Although I do like to bash Android from time to time. And Recently I upset some hyper sensitive Android Fan Boys by saying that people buy Android phones just to make calls and they buy iPhones to do more than make calls - and part of that observation was based on the 10 to 1 ratio of podcast downloads on iOS devices vs Android. Well you know who also realized this - Google - that is who. And Google faced with the fact that Android users are just not in mass consuming podcasts - well they decided they would completely redo their Android native app - Google Listen - and by completely redo - I mean give up on it. Concede defeat to Apple - With Google basically admitting they have no idea how to make a good Podcasting client - and in essence saying to podcast listeners - if you want to listen to podcasts - get an iPhone. So for all you podcast listeners new to the show after Google basically told you to leave - welcome over.
Yeah as a Podcaster and working for the Largest podcast hosting company - Google decision to kill Google Listen - was really really disappointing. But as a iOS podcaster - the decision was yet just more proof to the point - iOS is for more than making calls and Android - is for those that just want to make calls. Even Google now realizes that.
If I was a Google employee I would be pretty embarrassed right now. Just sayin.
