Hardware Pedometers Doomed – iPhone Pedometers on the Rise

Viaden Mobile, a leading developer of applications for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, today is pleased to announce the release of a professional All-In Fitness Pedometer application in order to satisfy the needs of the growing iPhone users community.

Viaden Mobile declares that All-In Fitness Pedometer takes a scientific approach to fitness. It boasts a high-precision step-counting algorithm, just like the one used in hardware pedometers.

All-In Fitness Pedometer allows fitness enthusiasts to share their fitness achievements with the world via the popular social networks, Facebook and Twitter. It carefully stores the exercise and body data as progress reports that can be sent to a user’s e-mail and processed as charts.

iPhone 4G Might Be iPhone 4GS According to Accessories

Every since the next generation iPhone made the news most have referred to the upcoming device as the iPhone 4G with some mentioning iPhone HD and even iPhone 4G HD and at one time it was just the iPhone 2010, but there may be a little insight as to what Apple might name the next generation smartphone.

According to an article over on Devicemag, by Atul Roach, a not unknown iPhone accessory maker, Ideal-Case is advertising their next generation iPhone cases under the title of “iPhone 4GS” case.

Now two things may be possible here, either Ideal-Case is taking a big gamble on what the next generation iPhone will be called by Apple and are trying to grab some early fame, or they have managed to gain some insider info.

iPhone 4GS does sound quite plausible, retaining the ‘S’ for speed while being the 4th Generation of the smartphone. Furthermore, these iPhone 4GS cases are already available for purchase. So what do you thing, a big gamble of do they have insider info?

Watch out Google, here comes Apple TV 2

Engadget is reporting that Apple TV is in line for a big makeover that will see the device being sold for just $99.

$99 for an Apple device? Not likely we say, but according to an Engadget source, the project was well underway before Google's TV announcement at I/O.

The new Apple TV is said to be heavily based on the next-gen iPhone build, complete with iPhone OS 4.0 and limited on-board storage. That's because Apple is planning on a cloud-focused service with streaming content via a revamped iTunes.

It will be capable of Full 1080p HD output and, if you do want to use local storage, you can hook it up to your Time Capsule. The report also suggests that there should be some sort of App Store compatibility, although quite how that will work on a big screen is open to debate.

If Engadget's source isn't telling porkies then this will be a great little device where the emphasis will be on paying for the content rather than paying for the hardware. And, because it's Apple, it will sell by the shed-load. You only have to look at the mayhem at the Apple Store today to realise that when Apple launches a new toy, it knows how to create a buzz.
