Apple Is Releasing A iTunes Remote Control App For iPhone/iTouch

For those of us who like to lay in bed and jam out to iTunes, a new app is on the way. According to MacRumors, it appears as though a remote control app is coming to the iPhone and iTouch.

Tucked away in a readme file for the iTune 7.7 update, was a paragraph talking about said app: “Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.”

Apple has a penchant for syncing all of their products together in a seamless network. While this isn’t a major surprise, it’s definitely a cool feature for any iPhone/iTouch users to keep an eye on.

iPhone Popular In The Porn Industry

When the internet first released it didn’t take a whole lot of time for pornography to dominate the web. If you don’t have a pop-up blocker, it won’t take long for some porn site to pop up ads all over your desktop.

The iPhone looks to be making a huge splash in the adult entertainment industry. In an article from Time.com, it’s pretty amazing at the amount of pornographic sites that are tailored to the iPhone crowd. According to one of the industry experts they talked to, there are already hundreds of iPhone pornography sites on the web.

The new 3G iPhone will even add more fuel to the iPhone-porn craze. As the network expands and becomes easier to access the web, the popularity of the porn sites will increase.

Devan Cypher, a representative for San Francisco–based Sin City Entertainment had this to say about the iPhone, “It’s by far the porn-friendliest phone”

Of course Apple has released a statement about how they don’t condone porn being available on the iPhone. Any official apps that have pornographic tones are strictly forbidden from use from Apple. Of course they can’t monitor what people browse through on Safari, so the fight might be a moot point.

3G iPhone At The WWDC

At the WWDC on Monday, Apple officially announced the 3G iPhone. I say ‘officially’ because everyone knew it was coming, and most of the details had been leaked. But now it’s official, so here is what we know about the upcoming 3G iPhone.

Most of the previews pouring in from numerous sites have talked about the enabling and disabling of the 3G settings. Also the clarity of the speaker seems to be improved. There have been a few aesthetic changes, such as the back cover changing to plastic. The shape has had minor changes, as the volume buttons are silver metal, and the weight balance is different.

The 3G iPhones will launch at $199 for the 8GB, with a $299 price tag for the 16GB. The 3G data plans will cost $30/month, compared to $20/month for the regular plans.

Probably the biggest faux pas of the announcements, is activation will be required in-store. So, when the iPhone is launched on July 11th all the eager customers will have to wait in line, buy their phone, and then have the sales associate activate it for them. Needless to say, that will take quite some time.

Pictures Of The New iPhone? … You Be The Judge

Engadget (via: Macfreak.nl), has released pictures of what appears to be the 3G iPhones that are being eagerly awaited upon. While these could easily be a fake, the do look pretty darn convincing.
