Boosting Your Income Through iPhone Apps
The unprecedented success of the Apple iPhone has opened a totally new gateway for advertisers to gain from as millions of users now use the devices and download its compatible apps. Through the, literally hundreds of thousands, of apps that are currently in the store, many developers have been successful in cashing in on the vast number of users who download these apps.
If you want to monetize iPhone apps then there are several options available to you however the 3-in-1 SDK from Millennial Media is probably your best bet in order to take advantage of this huge and potentially lucrative market. Once you have created your iPhone app you will be able to integrate the ad’s within in for maximum visibility and efficiency. With the 3-in-1 SDK these advertisements can come in a variety of different forms as the old method of having a small banner present is fast becoming obsolete due to the more modern ways in which to display your ad’s.
These days, such is the power and functionality of the iPhone, you can display an ad with an HD video (and many of these can be interactive) meaning you can reach a whole new target audience. You can also get your message out with just audio as well and, as mentioned, you can even revert back to the tried and tested route of banner ad’s. In fact, with the 3-in-1 SDK you will be able to determine the frequency of the advertisements as well as deciding just where within the app you would like them to be displayed. With the new cache video technology you can also ensure that video’s load quickly and do not stutter meaning that they will look even more professional than they already are.
Apple Shows Conflicting Views On The White iPhone
Apple has not officially released the white iPhone 4 yet, but that didn’t stop Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, from purchasing one of those popular modding kits from off of the Internet and taking his own iPhone to task. Several sources have confirmed that Wozniak admits to tinkering with his iPhone in order to give it a white case. Apple has repeatedly threatened and in some cases, put people out of business on Ebay if they even hinted at giving consumers the ability to mod their iPhones to create the highly sought after white casing. Wozniak said that his iPhone had numerous issues after modding, so to his credit, perhaps this was all an experiment that was done to show consumers that their stance on modding is justified. Even still, it does show Apple as being a bit hypocritical when it comes to their iPhone modding policies.
The good news is that the white iPhone 4 is coming to a store near you, but consumers won’t be able to pick it up until sometime in the springs of 2011. Slated to be released only a few months before the unveiling of the iPhone 5, most fans will probably still pick it up, but then quickly trade it in. There have been numerous rumors and reports that Apple was going to release a white iPhone 4 since this past summer, but the company said that the phone came with too many glitches to be released to the public. Who know that changing the color of a smart phone would prove to be so difficult?
Processing Power and Storage Space on the iPhone 4
There are a lot of factors that pull consumers towards the iPhone 4 in terms of getting a smart phone, but Apple rarely wins over the critics based purely on the device’s looks or the ability that the company has to market their products. Instead, the harshest critics want to get a good look at the guts and muscle of the phone to decide whether or not it is a true competitor for the title of this generation’s top smart phone or whether it is just another marketing ploy by a company that could be losing its touch.
It turns out that things are looking great for those who take the time to look under the hood and see what the iPhone 4 is all about. The fact that it is harnessing the power of the same chip that runs in the ever popular Apple iPad, Apple’s A4 chip has certainly won some critics over. This is a chip that is called a system on a chip style chip and it is made of a PowerVR SGX 535 GPU that has been integrated with the standard Cortex A8 CPU so many reviewers fell in love with last year. While the iPad is known to have a top speed for this processor that clocks in at around 1 GHz, Apple is notorious for underclocking their iPhones in order to reduce the amount of heat the device creates and also to appeal to consumers with a longer lasting battery. However, one small detail that may stun many iPhone fans is the fact that this chip the iPhone 4 uses? It’s made by Samsung, the same company that competes with Apple in the smart phone market.
When it comes to storage space there is 512 MB of on board eDRAM in this version of the iPhone and a new format Micro-SIM allows up to 32 GB more of space.

Bookmarklet Offers to Improve iPhone Browsing Experience with Safari
Consumers have long wanted to be able to make more of their browsing experience on the iPhone outside of the App Store and its range of ways to interact with the web itself. For many, being able to browse standard websites is a must and those that go this way often find that there can be quite a lot of scrolling needed to be able to actually take in a full view of the pages they want to navigate. This makes for a troubled browsing experience that can waste a significant amount of time and energy when one of the web’s core principles is that it makes information both faster and easier to find. Those that were hoping for a boost to Safari can now take advantage of the Mobile Safari browser solution that comes from developer Vais Salikhov which acts as a bookmarklet that greatly increases the interface of the standard mobile browser that comes with iPhone.
Although not a marvel of technical prowess, users have been expressing a lot of gratitude to the developer for his contribution in making their web browsing much simpler with a minimum of effort. This is one way in which the Apple crowd has come to favor those who innovate. The app itself is available for download from the App Store for only 99 cents and offers all of the features that users have felt were missing in the current edition of Mobile Safari and greatly expanded its speed in finding text on pages by search. Since the app is a bookmarklet it does not actually need to be installed on the machine itself.
