<div class="field-content"><div class="body-row" id="body-row-207160"><div style="background:#F5F5F5;"><p>The careful readers at Engadget have noticed that Apple <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/06/apple-sucks-at-photoshop-too/">cut a few corners</a> (so to speak) on its website documentation for the latest iPod touch. There's no ear speaker or phone service on the device, obviously, but nevertheless Apple's iPod touch display units show that the Phone app is still sitting down there in the lower left corner. Searching in Spotlight, according to another screenshot, will bring up the text messaging app, and there's one more little mistake (look in the Travel folder to see if you can spot it).</p>
<p>Apple has since <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/features/more-features.html">updated the images on its website</a>, but it's good to know that not even Apple's copywriters get their hands on the devices before we do.

At long last, we have (unofficial) launch dates for the iPhone 4 in Korea and Taiwan. </p>
<p>In Korea, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/08/16/iphone-4-pre-orders-about-to-begin-in-south-korea/">pre-orders began last month</a> despite the lack of an official launch date. <a href="http://www.macnn.com/articles/10/09/06/taiwanese.date.may.sync.with.china/">According to MacNN</a>, distributor KT Corporation has announced that the iPhone 4 will hit store shelves on September 10th. KT's official site is a bit confusing, though; <a href="http://www.kt.com/eng/pr/news_view.jsp">a news post</a> says "October" in the headline and simply "September" in the body of the post. But that could be a translation error.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Taiwan channels are reporting that the iPhone 4 will go on sale in that country on September 15th. Demand has been huge in Taiwan, where eager customers have reportedly placed 150,000 pre-orders since August. </p>

A team of talent from MIT has put its head down in order to concoct a new Android application that can come darn close to solving complex computational problems in just a fraction of the time that it'd take a bona fide supercomputer. The goal here is to let researchers and scientists convert to Google's mobile OS, but if you aren't falling for that one, it's also designed to "let engineers perform complicated calculations in the field, and to better control systems for vehicles or robotic systems." Of course, the models that are hosted on the phone do require a supercomputer to create, but once certain formulas are embedded, the app can then compute approximations in mere seconds rather than hours.

Here's a great and super-simple mod that turns an <a href="http://crabfuartworks.blogspot.com/2010/09/crabfu-5-iphone-microscope-mod.html">iPhone 4 into a portable digital microscope</a>. Using an <a href="http://www.amazon.com/SE-Mini-45X-Microscope-Illuminator/dp/B002E0MU70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1283787862&sr=8-1">inexpensive microscope</a> found on Amazon (seven bucks as of this writing), an iPhone case and some superglue, this user has hacked together a stable, portable digital microscope that also takes pictures.</p>
<p>The iPhone's flat back makes attaching the microscope super easy. After getting it glued to the case, simply snap it onto the iPhone and start observing things close up! For bonus points, pair the iPhone with <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bluecam-premium-edition/id367853780?mt=8">BlueCam for iPad</a>, which feeds an iPhone 4's live video stream to an iPad via Bluetooth for big-screen observations.</p>

<div class="field-content"><div class="body-row" id="body-row-207238"><div style="background:#F5F5F5;"><p>This weekend, I've been catching up on some reading. One post that was of particular interest to me was David Beach's article from last week about developing for Android. Beach, who is a product manager at eBay Mobile and a co-founder of 12seconds, basically says that the experience sucks for a number of reasons (all of which Google can fix, but will take quite a bit of work and time). But one quote in particular stuck out to me:<br />
Android has succeeded despite Google. In fact it's safe to say that Android is successful for one primary reason. The iPhone is only available on AT&T. If the iPhone was on Verizon a year ago. Android would be no where near as popular.<br />
Obviously, Beach isn't the first person to bring this idea up. But he brings it up in a way that he's able to back-up his feelings from a developers' perspective, while at the same time roping in what isn't ideal from a consumer perspective about Android as well.</p> | <a href="http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/topic/apple/popular/~3/S68yevkAWPA/is_android_only_surging_because_apple_is_letting_it" target="_blank">Read more »</a></div></div></div>

<div class="field-content"><div class="body-row" id="body-row-207237"><div style="background:#F5F5F5;"><p>Early reports indicate Europe will pay a pretty penny for Samsung's Galaxy Tab, but the 7-inch tablet may cost a good bit less when it comes to US shores -- the Wall Street Journal paraphrases a Samsung executive who claims it could run between $200 and $300 depending on the all-important carrier subsidies. The Korea Times, meanwhile, suggests a $300 to $400 retail price according to a different Samsung bigwig, who added that the Tab "will cost slightly more than the Galaxy S smartphone." As you're probably aware, Sammy's Galaxy S typically retails for about $200 in the US -- excepting Sprint's Epic 4G at $250 -- so if you held a bursting Li-ion battery to our head and forced us to guess, we'd say the latter range of dollar signs is far more likely. </p>

No official announcement from the virtualization mavens at <a href="http://parallels.com">Parallels</a>, but it appears that the next version of the company's Mac app for Windows virtual machines is already popping up at retail. Sharp-eyed reader Matthew Fern snapped this shot of <a href="http://tuaw.com/tag/parallels">Parallels Desktop 6</a> already on sale at Fry's Electronics in Roseville, CA.</p>
<p>We've got a call into the Parallels press office to find out about upgrade options and actual yes-we-admit-it release info, but chances are we'll have to wait until after the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day">Labor Day holiday</a> to get the final word.</p>

Our home page is designed to be your <cite>Industry Dashboard</cite> -- so you can have a snapshot of all that's relevant in the industry in one easy location. Many readers tell us that because the information is updated so frequently, they are now checking the site multiple times a day.
Here's a quick run down of the features on the new web site, which can be subtle.
