iPhone To Receive ‘Haptic Feedback’ In Future Models

April 28th, 2008

Apple iPhoneIt is being rumored that Apple plan to license vibration technology from Immersion for use in future iPhone models.

The software, dubbed ‘haptic feedback’, could be used to provide physical feedback when the soft keyboard is used. It’s no secret that many iPhone users have expressed concern over the lack of feedback when using the iPhone’s touch keys.

Whether this vibration technology makes it’s way into the next-gen 3G iPhone remains to be seen, although if Apple have the technology in place already and only require the software license it could be possible.

Apple’s New iPhone Based Chat To Be Built On Jabber?

April 28th, 2008

Jabber XMPP iPhoneA recent discovery found buried deep in the new iPhone firmware suggests that Apple may be planning to use the Jabber/XMPP framework for an upcoming native messaging application.

XMPP is the open source platform developed by the Jabber community for instant messaging. The XMPP support remains locked away in a private framework and is therefore not available to 3rd party SDK developers.

iPhone Beta 4 Release, OpenGL ES 3G Graphics Support Included

April 24th, 2008

Apple have announced the release of the iPhone SDK beta 4 Build 5A258f.

This new build also includes support for OpenGL ES which will enable developers to actually see how the iPhone renders graphics for their software applications.

Another new feature include in the SDK is enforced code signing. Basically what this means is that from now on iPhone applications will need to contain a valid certificate (from the iPhone developer program).

If the developer doesn’t include a certificate then the apps will still run in the simulator but not on physical devices.

This is the third build release since the iPhone SDK was release back in March.

iPhone SDK Beta 4 can be downloaded from the developer.apple.com website.
