A pet dog for your iPhone http://www.asksteve.co.za/a-pet-dog-for-your-iphone/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-pet-dog-for-your-iphone http://www.asksteve.co.za/a-pet-dog-for-your-iphone/#comments Mon, 18 Jun 2012 06:45:34 +0000 steve http://www.asksteve.co.za/?p=806 Taking the love of the iDevice to a whole new (unhealthy) level is the Smart Pen, last week revealed at the Tokyo Toy Show. If it reminds you of the Tamagotchi from your youth, it should, as it’s from the same inventor. Slap your iPhone into the pooches frame, and the downloaded app comes alive to reveal a face. The device will recognize voice and gesture commands and responds to touches on its face (over 100 reactions). Obviously it walks around, sits and wags its tail, and its personality will develop as you feed it virtual food and play games with it. Not available here yet, but you can get one from Japan for $100.

Yesterday was a big day for apple, it being their annual WorldWide Developers Conference and all. While everyone was waiting to hear the words “iPhone 5” spill out of the mouth of Tim Cook (the guy who took over from Steve Jobs but nobody thinks is worthy), the miracle never came.

Instead Timmy did announce a bunch of new Apple related toys and upgrades that should give Apple Fanboys something to spend their money on while the iPhone 5 is put together.

The broad strokes:
A new mobile operating system, iOS 6
A new Macbook Air lineup
A new Macbook Pro model
And Mountain Lion OS x

Here’s what it all means.

The new iOS 6 will only be around later this year once developers have finished working on it to make it worth our while. But there is a lot to expect, depending on your perception.

Firstly this version of the OS will bring Siri, good and proper, to the iPad. Not that naf “dictation” thing it used to do, but proper Artificial Intelligent assistant Siri.

Siri will also be able to launch apps on your iDevice for you, just say the name and it’ll open. How lazy do you have to be? And the phone app on the iPhone has even received a bit of a bolster in the form of Siri taking things over for you.

If someone calls while you can’t speak, you can reply with an SMS. Siri will remind you later that you missed the call.

She’s also been updated with a “Do Not Disturb” feature that enters a mode which doesn’t receive calls or messages. It’ll then notify you when you wake up of who called. This feature can also be found in some other devices by activating the “silent” button and then the “ignore” status of your consciousness.

The Macbook Air revamp is quite a significant move on Apple’s part in the face of competitive brands dishing out Ultrabooks like they’re dehydrated food packs in Somalia.

The tiniest Apple notebooks all get the new 3rd generation Intel “Ivy Bridge” processors and up to 512GB of flash storage via a solid state hard drive (solid state is the way to go for immediate access to applications and programs). These enhancements make this device twice as fast as its predecessor.

The Apple MacBook Pro range is getting similar upgrades including a 60% speed boost in graphics processing thanks to the new Intel chips and Nvidia graphics technology.

And even better news, a whole new Macbook Pro model with Retina display technology (like in the iPad 3), a 15-inch screen and a body almost as thin as the Macbook Air.

The last big announcement was the new OS x Mountain Lion. The main change, it’ll now have a drop down menu with all your notifications like you saw on the iPad or iPhone in iOS 5.

So no iPhone 5? Not yet. Sometime this year is what most believe, but I’m not holding my breath.
