  • MobileViews Podcast 359: Speculation about Apple’s 4/20 announcements



    In this podcast Jon Westfall and I discuss:

    1. Apple April 20 announcements speculation
      iPad Pro
      Mini LED for 12.9 model? Meh?
      M1?
      Apple Pencil 3
      Spring loaded tip?
      Kano Harry Potter coding Kit
      iPad Pro Magic Keyboard 2
      Current model is interesting but too expensive. Have been very happy with Anker, Arteck, & Logitech Bluetooth keyboards for under $50
      iOS 14.5
      Unlock iPhone with mask on using Apple Watch
      iPad mini 6
      Smaller bezel, bigger screen, same overall size?
      AirTags
      How many years have we been hearing about this?
      AirPods 3
      Apple TV
      I switched to Roku years ago. Apple TV is too expensive
      New Macs
      Probably not. Usually announced during WWDC

      Apple Watch Birthday is April 24 (Next Saturday) – 2015 – 2021

  • Recommendations Request for MobileAppsToday Mobile App of the Week

    I launched a new weekly feature over on my day-job-blog: MobileAppsToday.com called App of the Week. The recognition cuts across all the major mobile smartphone platforms. You can find the announcement and the first App of the Week, Ilium Software’s eWallet, at…

    MobileAppsToday App of the Week Category

    I think I can do a pretty good job IDing apps for Windows Mobile, iPhone, and Google Android. But, since I’m not a Blackberry or Symbian Series 60 (Nokia, etc.) user, I could use some help ID-ing apps that people should know about in those areas. If you have a recommendation or a write-up on your own site, please let me know. If you look at my site, you know I provide full attribution when I find something interesting on other sites/blogs. So, I’d be happy to link to your review or commentary on app.

    Of course, I would be grateful to pointers to good apps for Windows Mobile, iPhone, and Google Android too. The somewhat lesser known apps would be good. I’d like to try to give awareness of interesting products to end-users and a way for developers to make a living. Freeware or for-fee products are all fine for recommendations.

    Thanks!…todd
