Rumor: Section Premium Games in AppStore

One of the main barriers are the major studios, to plan the development of major titles for the iPhone / iPod Touch, is price. The users have become accustomed to paying $ 9.99 for the most titles, even a few weeks after they cut their price to $ 5.99. The amount of effort and investment to be made by developers to launch major blockbusters, it seems that requires another stage of prices.

It is for this reason that Apple might be thinking about creating a section Premiun games in the AppStore. The big titles will sell for $ 19.99. The club is unique and would go to the big developers. Hopefully this will not discourage independent developers, who have done a great job since it’s online store applications.

The date suggested is the next developer conference to be held next June. This could coincide with the launch of a new model of iPhone, which features graphics, process and overall performance, open the door to new opportunities in a segment that requires many resources. Of course, it makes sense. We hope to stay there and not start thinking this is the PlayStation 3 and put the titles in the clouds. The AppStore is very successful, thanks largely to their prices adjusted. Could salirles backfired and see a big drop in sales. Greed you know …

Rumor: Apple and AT & T 3G prepare a MacBook

We move the other day. The idea is not new, in fact, is doing some NetBooks. Apple and AT & T, would be preparing the launch of a new MacBook or a handheld device, equipped with 3G technology. Steve Jobs acknowledged that it was investigating new products and the possibility of equipping a model of 3G mobile technology. Many of the portable market and implement it.

Operators seem very happy with this market and know they go hand in hand with Apple usually means success. What would make the difference, would be available services and software. Apple could carry much of the iPhone’s software and to include in a new version multitáctil MacOS X, which would make the machine in a very interesting product. The process is very quick and simple as the iPhone’s software is based on MacOS X.

If at the end of this comes to fruition, would enable a large number of users remain constantly connected with the benefits that entails. Internet access and continued MobileMe from anywhere you have 3G coverage (go to GPRS / EDGE where 3G coverage has not). I repeat that nothing is new since this can be done through a long 3G phone with Bluetooth or a 3G USB modem, you can even get through the iPhone with some “tweaks.” But sometimes it is cumbersome, and the solution of a dedicated 3G card for the computer is much more attractive.
