Macworld.com – The iPhone 4 and iOS 4 update have proven to be especially useful for people who share their photos online.

View PostApple Needs to Respond Quicker to Issues, Analysts Say (PC World)
PC World – Apple on Friday quelled concerns on iPhone 4′s signal and reception issues, but the company needs to shed its mask of secrecy and be quicker in addressing customer concerns before such issues spiral out of control, analysts said.
View PostYellowing issues with the iPhone 4′s camera
Filed under: iPhone There’s more trouble for the iPhone 4. Some users are reporting that poor white balance is affecting some of their photos; specifically, indoor shots taken, both, with and without the LED flash have a predominately yellow hue. This typically happens when a digital camera has trouble reading the type of light in a given environment. As Macworld explains , all types of light — fluorescent light, sunlight, tungsten bulbs, etc. — create different hues in photographs. The digital camera’s job is to notice which hues are present and calibrate accordingly (that’s a rough overview, but you get the idea).
Invites sent for Shanghai Apple Store opening
Filed under: Retail Apple will open its newest retail store in Shanghai, China on Saturday, July 10th. Invitations that feature a red curtain, much like the one that currently drapes the huge glass cylinder that sits atop the store, are being sent to interested parties. Much like the 5th Avenue Store in New York City , Apple Store Shanghai is underground and topped with a huge, glass structure. Adding to the drama are two 1,000 foot tall skyscrapers flanking the store’s entrance
iPhone 4 customers line up again
Filed under: iPhone This has all happened before, and this will all happen again. When Apple and AT&T made the iPhone 4 available for pre-order, the demand was spectacular . The complete supply sold out within 24 hours. Customers who didn’t get in figured they’d buy one from AT&T on the 24th. Wrong

Apple releases iPhone user guide for iOS 4
Filed under: iPhone Apple has released the iPhone user guide for iOS 4 software . It’s a 17MB, 244 page PDF designed to walk you through everything from syncing to using the default apps. The 28 chapters cover the Phone, Mail, Safari, iPod, Messages (SMS/MMS), Calendar, Photos, Camera, YouTube, Stocks, Maps, Weather, Voice Memos, Notes, Clock, Calculator, Settings, the iTunes Store, Compass, Contacts, Nike + iPod, iBooks, and Accessibility … whew. The book includes tips specific to the iPhone 4, but it also includes tips for the 3GS and 3G. When a section of the manual is only applicable to a certain device, it is noted at the beginning of the section. As usual, the iPhone iOS 4 user guide is well-done
iPhone 3G users face upgrade question
Filed under: iPhone I think somewhere Steve Jobs has flipped a switch that’s quietly detonating all iPhone 3G s. My trusty phone had decent battery time until a couple of days ago, when suddenly I had to scramble every few hours to find a power source. With all of my funds sunk into a move to Pennsylvania in a couple of weeks, an upgrade to the iPhone 4 just isn’t possible at the moment, and a good many people are also facing the “upgrade or not?” question. If you do have to hold onto your 3G for awhile, you have to deal with a secondary issue also confronted by original iPhone users last year with iPhone OS 3 — is it worth upgrading to iOS 4? Steve Jobs was upfront about the fact that not all of the new features will work on the 3G, but until yesterday we weren’t quite sure exactly which features beyond multitasking would work or not. Engadget has a comprehensive list of what works and what doesn’t. What you get: Utilize folders, threaded mail, playlist creation/editing in iTunes, digital zoom (just don’t expect good results), iBooks including PDF support, Photos, the Game Center (once activated), updated spell check, and Spotlight search.
Who wants an iPad? Almost everyone!
Filed under: iPad My wife and I are currently cruising the Baltic aboard the Disney Magic . Of course, two things we couldn’t leave at home were our iPhones and iPads. One thing we found immediately was that many of the crew members and passengers on the Magic had never seen an iPad, and they were fascinated with the device. As an example, Burak, the manager of one of the three restaurants on the ship, had me demo the iPad to his wife. She is on the ship for a few weeks as a guest of the cruise line, and he needed her to “approve” his planned purchase of an iPad. After a short demo of Photos, a few games, and iWork, Burak’s wife gave his purchase the thumbs-up. I can now count the restaurant manager as a good friend
