Late on the 17th June 2010 Apple revamped its online MobileMe applications. Here I take a look at WebMail, Contacts, Address Book, Calendar, Gallery, iDisk and Find My iPhone.
Apple also posted a news article to its website here about the changes.

Tuesday June 15th 2010, Apple Launches New Mac Mini June 2010. Whilst everyone was scrambling to pre-order the iPhone 4, Apple also completely redesigned the Mac Mini... here are the details.
Manufacturer: Apple
Seems like all the carriers in the UK are jumping on board. Three have now put up a form on their website to register your interest.
T Mobile UK have announced that they will be carrying the iPhone 4 either on, or certainly soon after launch. They have a form you can fill in on their website here.
This is my coverage and thoughts on the Apple WWDC 2010 iPhone 4 Announcement. The newly announced device has a stack of new features, including a 5 megapixel camera, plus a front facing camera too. To make room for all the new features it now also uses the same MicroSim as the iPad. That is not all, check out my video for the full rundown.

Steve Jobs took to the stage yesterday to announce the iPhone 4. Whilst I am waiting for my iPhone 4 video to upload I wanted to bring you this bit of editorial to discuss FaceTime with you.
FaceTime is iChat on the iPhone… or is it? Whilst it was announced as an iPhone 4 feature, there was one part of Steve's keynote speech that got me to thinking. Take a look, it states that Apple will ship 10's of millions of FaceTime Devices in 2010. To me this indicates quite a few possibilities. Firstly, that FaceTime will become part of the Mac OS. Instead of iChat, you will launch FaceTime on your Mac and can then video conference with someone on their iPhone 4… how cool is that! Secondly, we have all seen the rumours of an iPod touch with camera. Maybe Apple are working on a version with a front facing camera on the iPod touch too, so that everyone can have some FaceTime with their loved ones.
It is also a possibility that they will still announce an updated AppleTV streaming device. If they do, it is easy for them to incorporate a FaceTime add-on, so we could be video chatting on out TV's. Add to this the fact that by the end of the year we may even see a 2nd generation iPad with camera… then you get an idea of the product lineup that could add up to Steve's 10 million quote.
Back to FaceTime… apart from not liking the name, it seems pretty great. Easy to make a video call, with voice being handled by your cellular network and the video via WiFi. It won't be as popular to begin with because of the requirement of within range WiFi. Once the mobile phone companies get up to speed and we can use the service over 3G or 4G then it'll fly and Apple will have another winner on their hands.
The Apple WWDC 2010 Conference is due to take place on Monday 7th June. This video covers my predictions for the event, as well as confirming some of the current rumours.

Will the coverage and signal issues ever improve in the US? Steve tackles this awkward question at All Things Digital D8. Check out the video below and the full article here.
So, the AppleTV was a hobby for Apple… shame, as I really liked the idea. I think it was more popular in the USA, but certainly here in the UK we had even less content. In the video below Steve talks about set-top boxes. In his response he sort of admits defeat, that there is no current way to bring 'better TV' to the market. Check out the video below and the full article here.
Steve Jobs talks about the Gizmodo iPhone 4G at All Things Digital D8. Although still some details are under debate, this was in fact a REAL iPhone 4G test unit. Check out the video below and the full story on this link.
Apple's new iAds, Steve obviously feels very strongly about this, I have never heard him speak so passionately about something. I think a lot of revenue sits on this new technology. Check out the video below and the full article here.
