| Nokia’s first Meego device would be in 2011 – Stephen Elop Posted: 24 Oct 2010 06:46 AM PDT No more wait required as Nokia’s CEO just announced on the Q3 earnings call that its first MeeGo device won’t be coming this year and is scheduled to come in 2011. In no uncertain terms, Stephen Elop said that Nokia’s, “First MeeGo device will be a 2011 event.” A device rumored to be the N9, pictured above. In general communications about new Nokia products will be made far closer to product availability. Elop added that his first impression of Nokia’s MeeGo work “inspires both confidence and excitement.”Let’s hope so, in Q1 2011 Nokia’s MeeGo smart phone OS will be battling resurgent webOS and Windows Phone 7 devices in addition to the Android, iOS, and BlackBerry incumbents at the high-end of the market.

| Mute switch transformed into screen orientation lock for iPad Posted: 24 Oct 2010 06:39 AM PDT If you remember back in January 2010,Apple had announced that the hardware switch on the side of the iPad would be a mute switch, just like how it’s on the iPhone. Then, closer to the product's launch in March of this year, Apple revealed that the mute-switch has now magically transformed into a very handy orientation-lock. Now with iOS 4.2 for iPad, Apple again transformed the hardware switch's purpose and now it is once again a mute-switch. As we now know, you can lock the iPad's screen orientation via a menu to the left of the multitasking dock.
Since Apple is clearly able to change the switch's purpose via a software update, many have wondered if Apple would make an option in settings for the user to choose whether they want it as an orientation lock or as a mute switch. Well today, we have the answer and it comes straight from the top. Reader from 9to5mac, Robert, sent an e-mail to Steve Jobs asking: In IOS 4.2 for iPad is the switch on the side going to be the mute and not screen orientation lock from now on? After getting a classic thumbs up from Jobs:
Robert asked him if this would be an option for the user: Are you planning to make that a changeable option?
That confirms that your mute switch with iPad 4.2 will seemingly never be an orientation lock again, according to Jobs. Via 9to5mac Mute switch transformed into screen orientation lock for iPad is a post from: Tech Mania Related Posts : |
