My lastest iPhone Photo Infographic
It's been a while since I last wrote about PhotoStats, the cool iPhone app that crunches all the data about your photos into a neat infographic.
Here's my updated stats:

And Apple announce… a major anti climax... #apple #iphone #yam
So the whole worlds tech press (and a lot of its consumer press as well to be fair) were gazing towards Cupertino for the latest Apple product announcement. No one does geek showbiz like Apple. Facebook's recent #F8 was testament to that.
The blogosphere has been alight with rumours of iPhone 5, but ultimately the fanboi's were left disappointed.
Instead the company announced it was giving away the iPhone 3GS on two year carrier contracts. Only Apple can make "news" from discounting obsolete product. Kudos!
The already announced iOS5 including iCloud will be available for download from October 12th.
From the hardware perspective, iPhone 4S was announced. Highlights vs. iPhone 4 include:
- Apple A5 chip
- 1 GB of RAM.
- First iPhone with a dual-core processor and dual-core graphics.
- It is “up to seven times faster” than the previous iPhone
- New antenna system that allows it to switch between two antennas for better sound quality and download speeds.
- New 8-megapixel camera that can take 3264×2448 images, an increase of 60% from the iPhone 4. It is capable of taking in 73% more light than the iPhone 4 and is 33% faster.
- 8 hours of 3G talk time, 10 hours of video

Other notable news...
500,000 apps on the App Store, with 140,000 are iPad specific. 18 billion apps downloaded total so far, at a rate of 1 billion per month. Apple paid more than $3 billion to developers so far.
iOS app called Cards. You can make your own cards right on your phone, and Apple will print it out and send to you. If you mail it in the U.S. you’ll get a push notification to your phone when it arrives at the destination. $2.99 to mail in the U.S., and $4.99 internationally. After hearing Touchnote declare it was hard making money this morning in London, tonight they must be shitting themselves.
A side show from the announcement was the fact the Apple.com has seemingly been hacked. I grabbed this screen shot.

iPhone 5 rumours continue grow #apple #mobile
For a few months now the rumour mill has been going at full speed. Normally new iPhones hit the street in the summer, but so far nothing…today there has been a spike in conversations around the supposed launch later this year.
Perhaps one of the hottest topics for debate is will it be an incremental upgrade i.e. an iPhone 4S or a full revision.
This is the most impressive render of what it may look like:
The word on the street is Apple have ordered 20 million units for launch, 9to5 Mac claim here it may be as much as 25 - 26 million units. French Mobile Operator Orange made reference to the device in a new job listing, story here. They claim it was an "error", may be they got a call from Cupertino asking "WTF?"
Actually probably the most exciting part is iOS 5. With over 200 new features, including the long overdue sync via Wi-Fi and the launch of iCloud storage and synchronisation across all your devices.
What ever it may or may not be, the waiting seems to be nearly over...September 8th is being positioned as the possible launch event, according to this Mashable article.
Keep your eyes peeled. I'll try and keep this post updated with the lastest gossip.
Awesome new photo app for iPhone
