Even if the prices of iPods and iPhone are rumored to drop soon, I have not stopped looking for a nice case to carry my future iPhone. This time, I am not looking for any pink case or blinged out accessory because they already make me dizzy. And I’ve learned my lesson: not because it’s cute, it’s always reliable.

I might get the cork coat Elan Form iPhone case because it will hold the phone just right. It protects the iPhone on two layers and with hard-shell polycarbonate. Sure it doesn’t look attractive and people may mistake it for a cork board but such high-tech phone needs all protection in the world. So forget about how it looks. Besides, it’s from Griffin.

La reciente solicitud de patentes de Apple apunta a transformar al iPod en un sustituto del GPS. Según la revista AppleInsider, el concepto de Apple es un software que incluirá a 4 componentes esenciales que permitirán a los usuarios pedir direcciones desde un punto de partida hasta un destino. La respuesta a tales pedidos será dada en forma de “podcast”, lo cual significa que las instrucciones serán habladas, además de los mapas visuales que serán enviados.

Inicialmente bautizados como ‘podmaps’, este nuevo concepto de Apple se describe de la siguiente manera:
• el usuario se conecta a un servidor remoto antes de su viaje, y le dice donde quiere ir.
• el servidor crea un archivo de video o de audio, así como imágenes de mapas, y luego envía esto al usuario.
• el usuario carga esto en su iPod y lo escucha antes de abandonar la casa o mientras maneja.

Ésta puede ser la razón por la cual Apple no ha lanzado aún ningún aparato con capacidades de GPS. Parece un concepto inteligente, pero hasta que llegue el lanzamiento del “podmap”, quédate mejor con el GPS de tu teléfono.

Initially christened as ‘podmaps’, this new concept from Apple is described to work this way: Read the rest of this entry »
