apple considered flash once iphone
While Apple has been fervent in their refusal to include Adobe Flash support on their iPhone, it may come as a surprise to most that Flash was once considered for the iphone, and that it was to have been implemented across the platform. However, Apple found that it didn't really fit what they wanted and scrubbed the support entirely from their website, SDK and iPhone OS.

Opera Software said Wednesday it plans to offer a version of its Opera Mini web browser for Apple's iPhone. Great, but will Apple let the application -- which rivals the iPhone's built-in Safari browser -- onto the iPhone's App Store? Opera has not yet submitted a version of Opera Mini for the iPhone to Apple for approval. "We want to bring the Opera Mini experience to even more users and we hope that Apple will not deny their users a choice in Web browsing," a spokesperson for the company said in an email. Apple has not yet responded to a request for comment. What do you think? Does the iPhone need another web browser?

Apple has started airing two new television ads for the iPhone 3GS. While both commercials feature the same white background as other recent iPhone ads, these new advertisements feature different narration voices, and are more testimonial in nature, telling how the narrator uses the iPhone. In “First Steps,” a mother tells how she recorded her son’s first steps using the iPhone, then sent the video to family members and initiated a three-way call with them to discuss the footage. “On Hold” features a male narrator explaining how he doesn’t mind being on hold since he can use his iPhone in the meantime to check email, pay bills, and purchase and play games. Both of Apple’s new iPhone TV advertisements are available for viewing on Apple’s website.

Apple has launched a redesigned version of its Me.com splash page for the iPhone and iPod touch, adding new download links for its MobileMe iDisk and Gallery applications, as well as access to the Find My iPhone feature. Previously, the page contained only one link, providing setup instructions for setting up Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Find my iPhone on an iPhone/iPod touch; the new page retains this link, but adds the others mentioned above. Following the Find My iPhone link prompts the user to enter his or her MobileMe username and password, and then takes them to a frame-less version of the Find My iPhone page, complete with location map and links to send a text and/or audio alert, or remotely lock/wipe the device.

China Mobile hopes to reach a deal with Apple to sell the iPhone, and possibly the iPad, in the near future, according to recent comments made by China Mobile chairman Wang Jianzhou. “We’re hoping we’ll come to an agreement (with Apple) on the iPhone as soon as possible,” he told AFP reporters at a news conference in Hong Kong. “We will continue to express our interest in the iPhone. But not just the iPhone, also the iPad.” China Mobile has reportedly been in talks with Apple about the iPhone since November 2007, but the negotiations have stalled multiple times over issues such as revenue sharing and App Store control. During this period, Apple reached an agreement with rival carrier China Unicom to carry the iPhone; Unicom launched the handset in China in October 2009.

The highlights: you can't disclose the agreement itself (the EFF managed to get it via the Freedom of Information Act thanks to NASA's recent app), Apple reserves the right to kill your app at any time with no reason, and Apple's liability in any circumstance is limited to 50 bucks.

Google pays Apple more than $100 million annually for its position as the default Internet search engine on the iPhone, according to a new report. Citing a source familiar with Apple’s operations, Silicon Alley Insider reports that Apple receives more than $100 million a year from Google as part of a revenue sharing deal, but that recent deals between the two companies have become increasingly contentious. According to the source, the original deal between the two companies for Google Maps on the iPhone was reached in just two weeks, while a similar deal for the iPhone 3G, negotiated just a year later, was a six-month negotiation “full of acrimony” as Google wanted access to data generated by Maps users, which Apple did not want to give up.

CWmike writes "Nokia asked a federal judge last week to toss out Apple's antitrust claims, saying the iPhone maker indulged in 'legal alchemy' when it tried to divert attention from its infringement of Nokia's intellectual property. The filing was the latest salvo in a battle that began in October 2009 when handset maker Nokia sued Apple, saying the iPhone infringed on 10 of its patents, and that Apple was trying 'to get a free ride on the back of Nokia's innovation.' Apple countered in December with a lawsuit of its own that not only claimed Nokia infringed 13 of its patents, but that Nokia also violated antitrust law by legally attacking Apple after it declined to pay what it called 'exorbitant royalties' and refused to give Nokia access to iPhone patents.

Thanks to its huge sales and high memory usage, Apple Inc.’s iPhone is expected to generate insatiable demand for NAND-type flash memory in 2010, helping to strain supplies for the year, according to iSuppli Corp. “An average of 35.2Gbytes of NAND will be used in each iPhone sold in 2010, iSuppli estimates,” said Michael Yang, senior analyst for memory and storage at iSuppli. “Furthermore, iPhone shipments are set to rise to 33 million in 2010, up 31.5 percent from 25.1 million in 2009. With the iPhone already the largest application for NAND, this huge growth is likely to lead to some periods of undersupply for the year.”

With the release of the new Flash Builder Beta 2from Adobe labs, more Actionscript developers will be tempted to leave the Flash IDE and head to what is now the rebranded Flex Builder. Previously there has been a bit of confusion over what Flex and Flex Builder were for, not everybody realised that you could write non-Flex applications (i.e. plain ActionScript ones) in Flex Builder. And then even without this confusion those of us used to the Flash IDE still had to get to grips with not having any sort of timeline or way to edit library assets. Long story short, you still need to use the Flash IDE to create and edit your library assets, though once this is done you can export them to a .SWC file in order to use them in Flash Builder. Here's a quick tutorial to show you how.
