iPhone OS 4.0 detailed and screenshot

Posted Jan.19, 2010 under Apple/Mac

Boygeniusreport is reporting the first leaked screenshot of the iPhone 4.0 OS (2B13), leaked from an inside Apple contact.  According to the inside Apple contact, there are some new exciting features added to the iPhone OS 4.0.

Here are five features added to the iPhone OS 4.0 that should make iPhone fans excited:

  • There will be multi-touch gestures OS-wide. (Would make sense for that as the rumored OS for the iTablet is close if not the same as the iPhone)
  • “A few new ways” to run applications in the background — multitasking.
  • Many graphical and UI changes to make navigating through the OS easier and more efficient. We haven’t had this broken down, but we can only hope for improved notifications, a refreshed homescreen, etc.
  • The update will supposedly be available for only the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but will “put them ahead in the smartphone market because it will make them more like full-fledged computers” more than any other phone to date. Everyone is “really excited.”
  • The last piece of information is the most vague, but apparently there will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.

If the list is true, it could mean that we might see the next generation iPhone next week during Apple’s press event on January 27.  Fans will also be happy to see that Apple is finally adding in multitasking, a very long overdue feature, which is something to get excited about, much like copy and paste was in iPhone OS 3.0.

It also appears Apple is cutting out support for the iPhone 2G; no mention if Apple will be cutting software support for the first generation iPod touch.  The iPhone 2G, 3G, iPod touch first and second generation all use the same processor, ARM11 at 620mhz, underclocked to 412Mhz with 128MB of ram.

Chrome OS screenshots leak out are fake

Posted Jul.09, 2009 under Google, Google Chrome

Just a day after Google confirmed that it was cooking its own breed of open source operating system, the first screenshots allegedly depicting Google Chrome Operating System got leaked.

The images are included into this article, but they are without any sort of value since they are shameless fakes. The Mountain View-based search giant has been mute on the matter so far, but the author of the images has now admitted to having created them.

“I am sorry if you believed it. It was a really bad attempt. You all are smart people. I never planned on it getting this big. But it did. (Come one, I know the Google logo. I am actually a graphic designer, I just wanted to see reactions if it was a crappy back),” the author of the fake screenshots explained. “I never was going to let this go on longer than 12 hours.”

The screenshots got some attention, but they were obvious fakes and were called as such by end users. Now, the travesty is over. Google is planning to offer developers in the open source community access to the Google Chrome OS later this year. The move will probably be the first taste that developers will get of Chrome OS, the platform that is scheduled for general availability in the second half of 2010. Just for fun, we have included below the details accompanying the fake screenshots.

The leaks were made up to appear as if they had come courtesy of an employee of an Acer supplier that attended a private demonstration for Acer from a Google representative. The demo involved an Acer Extensa 4620Z laptop, which has rather low, netbook-level specifications. The author of the fake screenshots indicated that the installation of the Google Chrome OS Developer Beta took only 10 minutes with a single restart. Details were also offered on a wizard designed to let users supply their data, apparently one aspect of the operating system that was still in development. Google Talk was the only application installed on the machine.

“This beta was extremely stripped down. However, it was amazingly fast. They did one reboot and it rebooted from Desktop to Desktop in about 25ish seconds,” the source of the leaks stated. “There is a button on the Chrome Bar (At least that is what the Rep called it.) that is basically the blue center of the chrome logo. This button pulls up a Start Menu clone essentially. The Reboot, Programs, and Main Directory is located here. The navigation uses two options: Exploration and Browser. Explanation is much alike the Windows Explorer. The Browser uses search options. In Browser Mode, the Google Chrome Browser comes up and you can search and also use the Most Visited features for your files.”

This is now confirmed fake by the admission from the author.

Windows 7 build 7048 screenshots show up

Posted Mar.09, 2009 under Microsoft, Windows 7

With Windows 7 gearing towards the RC release in April 10, WinFuture has posted some screenshots of the latest Windows 7 build 7048 which it mentions to be available only to Microsoft Partners and select internal testers. According to WinFuture, the build was compiled at 18:45 hours on 19th February as inferred from the build string – 7048.0.winmain.090219-1845

Start button glows more strongly when clicked

New icons for Notes, Paint and Calculator applications

Taskbar Scaling

On 20th of February, Sinofsky mentioned that build 7046 was still in progress which is contrary to the date mentioned (for this 7048 build) in the WinFuture and we also had a Microsoft employee’s tweet on 25th Feb regarding upgrading the system to build 7047.

Considering these dates (if they are indeed correct), Microsoft seems to be progressing internally at a faster rate towards RC
