iPhone 3G makes Russian travel plans
Apple isn’t ignoring Russia – it just hasn’t had time to clinch an iPhone distribution deal for the country yet, said Apple boss Steve Jobs speaking to CNBC last week.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs told CNBC: "We just didn’t have a chance to close a deal with Russia. And I think you’ll see agreements happen later this year."
Now, reports out of Moscow this morning suggest local networks may be in talks with Apple to introduce the device in Russia, a country where jailbroken first-generation iPhones command as much as $1,000 each, with around 20,000 units smuggled into Russia every month, according to local analysts
O'Reilly pegs Nov 18 for 'iPhone Live' event
O’Reilly today announced the schedule for its upcoming ‘iPhone Live’ developer conference, which takes place November 18.
In a move bound to set the scene for another round of Apple-related prognostication, the company is also offering attendees who sign-up for the event by October 14 a discount on the regular price.
Does this connect to other rumoured events on that date?
Probably not, but outside of parts of Apple HQ, no one really knows. But Apple’s recent move to liberalise its iPhone SDK will at least mean developers speaking at the event will be able to go into much more detail on their experiences building applications for iPhone than ever before.
EU consumer watchdog threatens to halt iPhone sales as explosive investigation continues
European regulators continue to examine claims of exploding iPhones in Europe, warning today that the product could be withdrawn from sale should investigators find proof the devices can be dangerous.
EU Commissioner for Consumer Protection Meglena Kuneva issued a warning today that iPhones will be pulled from store shelves if it turns out recent screen explosions are hardware-based problems.
The investigation is now in the hands of independent lab experts, who are working to discover if there’s a problem with the iPhone.
"I don’t need (Apple)’s permission to stop goods entering the market," Meglena Kuneva told reporters in Brussels. "If goods are dangerous, then we will order a recall."

Arm-saving MacSpeech software is 25% off until 2010
With the recent explosion of speech recognition on the iPhone (Dragon Speech, Google, even Bing Map search) some might consider revisiting speech recognition on the Mac desktop platform where the technology can be more effectively utilized. About five years ago, both IBM (ViaVoice) and Dragon (Naturally Speaking) both released Mac versions of their Speech recognition applications but both stopped their programs a few years ago and they are no longer supported.
By far the best speech recognition on the Mac platform today is MacSpeech, which recently upgraded its speech recognition engine to use Nuance’s Dragon (the same engine used in the iPhone app). Their new application is fully able to integrate with Snow Leopard and works out of the box much better than the iPhone application. The accuracy becomes eerily good after spending a few minutes of teaching it to get used to your voice and way of speaking.
As bloggers, we’ve had run-ins with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other RSI disorders which would have sidelined us for weeks had we not had access to MacSpeech. If you haven’t tried speech recognition in the past few years on the Mac, you might want to give it another try – it is head and shoulders above previous versions.
As MacSpeech affiliates, we can offer MacSpeech applications 25% off of the list price using this link and the coupon code: “9TO5MAC” at checkout. That puts the regular application at $149 (including free headset), which is the lowest price we could find.
Cisco's new CRS-3 Router will help AT&T deal with its wireless traffic?
The WSJ today reports that the big announcement that Cisco’s been hyping all week is actually a faster router. While that may not be as exciting a s a new tablet device (or it may be depending on your tastes), it will hopefully have some effect on Apple customers. The WSJ profiled AT&T and specifically their wireless (read:iPhone) customers who are the major catalyst for new broadband:
AT&T, meanwhile, said the 100-gigabit backbone Internet network would support growing wireless and wired data and traffic “for years to come.” In particular, AT&T has dealt with the explosive growth in wireless data, primarily driven by the Apple Inc. iPhone, among other smart phones. The router “allows us to serve volumes of traffic that we need to serve,” said Keith Cambron, CEO of AT&T Labs.
AT&T has stated that they are working hard on bringing up their wireless speeds but first must upgrade their backhaul. That’s where the Cisco CSR-3 would come in handy, delivering much more data over the same lines.

AT&T schedules MMS for September 25th, tethering? "Ask us later"
AT&T’s network, which is crumbling under the pressure of the high iPhone traffic, seems to be the reason why we haven’t seen MMS and tethering. Should AT&T have noticed about two years ago that iPhone traffic was starting to tax their network? Should they have waited until now to roll out some upgrades? That’s what they are claiming as the reasons for holding back MMS and tethering.
AT&T said today that MMS messaging, which has been a glaring omission on the iPhone 3G and new 3GS, will arrive on Sept. 25. It’s not quite the "late summer" launch that we were told about, is it?
Why the delay? Well, AT&T said earlier that it was because the company was "finalizing internal system upgrades". They say that tethering will be announced sometime in the future.
