    // Gradly // Apple, blog, News, Rants & Raves, Rumors 1 Response

    Following to what we posted earlier, a new claim suggested that an expected MobileMe revamp will be launching ahead of WWDC, sometime next month (April). iLounge claims The new MobileMe is said to be free is may be a major departure from the current version of MobileMe:

    In addition, the source was told that Apple will be supporting the existing version of MobileMe for the next year, suggesting that the new version will be quite different from the existing service; the extra year of support would likely cover those who recently paid for a full year of MobileMe, prior to Apple removing any method through which a user could pay for the service.

    Apple is expected to hold an iOS 5 event sometime in April and this would be a perfect time to also unveil the new MobileMe. The new service is said to be more cloud-based with a “locker” that stores your media. The service will potentially even connect to your iTunes library to provide streaming to iOS devices from the cloud.

  • iPhone 5 Will Have A Metal Back, And A Larger Screen

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, iPhone, News, Rumors 2 Responses

    Apple’s fifth generation iPhone will purportedly feature a metal back, and a larger screen. The news comes from a Foxconn source, who has apparently seen the iPhone 5 at one of the company’s plants.

    According to the source, the iPhone 5 will look “fairly similar” to the iPhone 4, despite two changes: A flat, metal back, and a bigger screen. Previously, Digitimes had reported that Apple’s fifth generation iPhone would feature a four inch screen. This statement was supported by a purported iPhone 5 design image, which showed an iPhone handset with an edge to edge screen (made possible by a thinner bezel).

    A four inch iPhone would mean Apple could compete with Google Android handsets in the four to seven inch smart phone market. The iPhone 4 currently boasts a 3.5 inch display.

    Apple fans would most likely appreciate an iPhone handset with a four inch screen. However, I’m more excited about the iPhone 5′s purported metal back – after dropping and smashing my iPhone 4 a couple of weeks ago, I’m really hoping the iPhone 5 is a more durable handset.

    Apple’s fifth generation iPhone will very likely be announced on stage at WWDC ’11, which should take place in June. Until then, let us know what kind of iPhone 5 you’re hoping for in the comments below.

    EA / DICE has just unleashed a brand new gameplay trailer for Battlefield 3. It’s pretty spectacular. Take a look below.

    The video is called “Fault Line: Episode 2 Good Effect” and features some earth-shattering physics effects powered by their new frostbite 2 engine – as well as some scrabbling about on rooftops. Oh, and plenty of destruction.

    DICE has called out its rivals in the latest OPM, claiming “our competitors are getting lazy… they had better watch out. We are coming for them.”

    The studio’s general manager, Karl Magnus Troedsson, has added that the developer regrets its past neglect of the PC community, and that it’s intent on making it up with Battlefield 3.

    Oh, and here’s part one, in case you missed it earlier this month!
