They are actually are not surprises anymore, since you've been knowing them before the official release later on June. But nevertheles, it's time for another round of iPhone rumors and gossips. Here they are:
"Push" preferences, according to iPhone Atlas there's a preference panel in the latest build of iPhone OS 2.0: 5a274d that allows users to control settings for applications with push capabilities. The primary intent of this function: allow users to conserve battery life by turning push capabilities off for applications like Mail, which supports push for Exchange and Yahoo! Mail servers. The new “Fetch New Data” preference in iPhone OS 2.0, 5a274d presumably controls push capabilities for both Exchange and Yahoo! Mail accounts, as well as future Apple or third-party applications that support push.
Chinese & Japanese handwriting recognition, Gizmodo was reporting that a blog on the Wretch.cc network (kinda like a Chinese blogspot) has screens from the Chinese version of iPhone's 2.0 firmware, detailing the new handwriting recognition. For the Chinese version, you've got the choice of either handwriting or using Pinyin, which is like spelling out the word you want and choosing the correct character. Would Apple add all this Chinese and Japanese support if the iPhone wasn't coming to China and Japan officially? Good question, anyone got the answer??- Free AT&T's WiFi Hotspots ~kinda, some iPhone users have been reporting that they had sucessfully using free AT&T's WiFi Hotspots in several Starbucks cafes. But soon they also saying that the free service has dissappeared, gone. But iPhone Atlas once again has spotted what could be AT&T's plan to officially offer that same WiFi hotspots.
Revamped build & name into "iStick", Steve Jobs finally gave up the same look & name to be used for iPhone 2.0; so he took Alexei Mikhailov's design instead. His punch-line when he's going to introduce it at WWDC: "Stick it into your pocket, stick it into everywhere you want to; it'll fit just like its name: iStick! Surprise!! Surprise!!! I'll give one right away for anyone that can guess where I stick it right now at? Anyone?" ~Hint: I haven't plan to stop teasing & tricking you guys~ ;-p
Hey, tomorrow is Monday. I thought you guys will need a good laugh for another long week ahead... Sorry, my bad then.
