Sony could pull music from iTunes in ongoing war with Apple
February 11th, 2011 · 5 Comments · Uncategorized
Michael Ephraim, the head of Sony for Australia and NZ, was interviewed by The Age yesterday. He is rather pissed with the recent behavior of Apple, and he’d really like to see Sony sever all ties. You know, when Apple decided to enforce that contract clause, perhaps they should have started with a company smaller [...]

iTunes T&C updated – now mentions subs
February 3rd, 2011 · No Comments · app store news
As part of the launch of The Daily yesterday, Apple updated the T&C for iTunes. It looks like they’re going after a cut of all the money, not just the single issue sales. To be fair, I’m not all that upset by this change. These terms really aren’t all that unreasonable. They’ve now spelled out [...]

Apple have released iBooks 1.2 for iOS. New abilities include improved image support, collections, hyphenation, and printing. That last is the one feature that makes me drool.

And in our next story on why App Stores are a bad idea, we have this from the Huffington Post: The Manhattan Declaration, a controversial app condemning gay marriage, sparked outrage when Apple approved the app for inclusion in its App Store, finding that it contained “no objectionable material.” Earlier this week, The Huffington Post [...]
BAM Reader now in iTunes
November 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment · ipad pilot, iPhone app
My contact with Bluefire (makers of the Bluefire Reader) just tipped me to Books-a-Million’s new reading app for iOS, the BAM Reader. As you can probably guess, it’s based on the Bluefire Reader. If you’re not familiar with Bluefire, it’s the app that has replaced Stanza as the touchstone reading app on iOS. It doesn’t [...]
