Sprint formally calls on FCC to deny AT&T, T-Mobile deal

Sprint on Tuesday formally filed an attempt with the FCC to block the AT&T buyout of T-Mobile. The Petition to Deny argued that no amount of cell site divestitures or requirements could eliminate the competitive problems. Most of its talking points were familiar and centered on the deal as a reversal of the progress made since AT&T's original monopoly was forcibly broken up during the 1980s....

Review: Space Falcon Reloaded for iPhone and iPad

Review: Space Falcon Reloaded for iPhone and iPad This scrolling arcade-style game set in space will evoke memories of Galaga and Space Invaders for gamers of a certain age. But it ultimately fails to capture the imagination like those games of yore did.

Steve Jobs will introduce iCloud, Lion, iOS5 at WWDC Keynote June 6

It's official (for real, this time) -- Steve Jobs will introduce iCloud, "Apple's upcoming cloud services offering," iOS 5 and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion during the WWDC keynote on June 6. Note that iCloud is named specifically and referred to as "cloud services," suggesting that it's more than music.

There has been much speculation about iCloud as a music locker, streaming service and MobileMe successor. Also, developers and customers alike have been eager to see iOS 5 and we were recently led to believe that Mac OS X Lion is getting close to a releaseable state.

It's going to be an exciting keynote, and we'll have full coverage. See you on the 6th!

Another Mac OS X 10.6.8 build seeded to developers

Sources have told us that another build -- 10K531 -- of Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard is now available for download by developers.

The developer seed became available late yesterday, and focuses on AirPort, Networking, Graphics Drivers, the Mac App Store, QuickTime, and VPN. As usual, Apple has requested that developers file bug reports if any quirks are found.

There are no known issues with this seed of Mac OS X 10.6.8, which may point to a release of the updated operating system in the near future. As reported earlier, it is expected that 10.6.8 will include a way to block the MacDefender malware and its variants.

This follows a number of in/out/in/out/shake it all about rumors that this "NFC" stuff might be included in the next iPhone. So what is NFC and why should you care? Sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and I'll explain.

10.6: Combining Spaces and Expos� in a single swipe

Snow Leopard only hintThis hint shows how to combine Spaces and Expos� to show all open windows on all workspaces, using AppleScript and BetterTouchTool.

Lion may have Mission Control but for Leopard/Snow Leopard users, it can be a pain to find a particular window among all the workspaces. The following AppleScript activates Spaces and Expos� together and orders windows by alphabetical order:
 tell application "System Events"   key code 100 -- F8 - Spaces   key code 101 -- F9 - Expos� All Windows   keystroke "1" using {command down} end tell 
It assumes you're using the default keys for Spaces and Expos�. Copy and Paste the script into AppleScript ...

Maps+ adds tracking and location-based alarms to Google Maps

Maps+ for iPhone and iPad

Maps+, a new mapping app for the iPhone and iPad, has just been released. Developed by IZE, Maps+ uses Google Maps data, meaning you must have a data connection for it to work, but it adds a couple of interesting location-based features into a customizable interface that you can't get in the default iOS maps app.

GPS tracking has been added, meaning you can record your route, whether you're running, cycling, driving or walking. Sounds familiar, but this time it's opt-in. You can even import or export your recorded tracks to GPX for viewing on the desktop or in other apps.

Location-based alarms are also included, allowing you to set a reminder that's activated when you hit a certain location. That's handy if you're a bit forgetful and need more than just a timed alarm to jog your memory.

Maps+ also comes with most of the standard features found in Google Maps, including directions with route alternatives; standard, satellite, hybrid and even terrain maps from Google; and bookmarks and address-only search (no business search is included).

Maps+ is free to download, with a couple of features, such as pins, bookmarks and tracks, being limited by number. They can be unlocked via a US$2.99 in-app purchase. If the default Google Maps-based app is just a bit limited for you, then the free Maps+ is worth a look.

OmniVision hints ramp up for 8MP iPhone camera, Project Cafe

OmniVision in its quarterly results call Thursday night dropped clues as to its possible iPhone production plans as well as a key console deal. The camera sensor maker said it was transitioning much of its smartphone work to eight-megapixel sensors and was seeing strong orders from "key customers in the smartphone market" for the next few months ahead. It also clarified plans for its next-generation eight-megapixel sensor, the OV8830; it planned to ship the sensor to "premier brand name" smartphone creators when it was ready in the second half of the year....
