Image of the week: the IPAD to complement the iPhone to play
Is one of the nicest pictures of the week and that made me think more. The iPhone is a very interesting platform to play away from home at short intervals, but most of the day was spent playing video games at home where no means cover third screen with our fingers. Is it possible then that the iPhone continues to have interest as a video game indoors?
Supplemented with an IPAD, think so. It is the philosophy of PadRacer, the most reliable way to transport a phone Scalextric. The iPhone is the remote control of the players, and the IPAD is the circuit (board game). Of course, this would be extrapolated to any smartphone tácil complemented with a large screen (this is where I stopped to think ).
Certainly not the cheapest solution is to play at home with a friend (children, not I buy some two and a IPAD iPhone for this), but at least curious. It is noteworthy that is not the first time we see the IPAD board applied as iPhone, might become commonplace:

Image of the Week: Steve Wozniak has a message for Gray Powell
Steve Wozniak, one of the three founders of Apple has decided to take a joke the news of the week, we talk about the iPhone 4G prototype Gray Powell lost his hand and came to Gizmodo.
Wozniak has been sending their friends a photo with a T-shirt that sported a message that for some it may seem that more land over to check an employee of Apple, but I think he is trying to empathize with the kid and downplay the matter: "I went to have a drink with Gray Powell and all I got was a lousy ".
iPhone prototype
This kind of jokes are common in Steve Wozniak , but we know that the episode is serious, there is already an open police investigation. The prototype that Powell lost in the bar is the basis of the new 4G iPhone, and Apple is always taken very seriously keep confidential all details of design or specification of their developments.

Image of the Week: iVictrola, a horn for the iPhone
This week we lost power in Catalonia, there are even areas in which still can not charge your gadgets and do not have mobile coverage because of the snow. Anyway there are always analog solutions for these situations and the horn iVictrola for iPhone is the most elegant.
The Dock is an elegant iVictrola walnut, which also happens to be an excellent box resonance, the speaker is a non-animal-horn, trombone-type but it offers impressive sound quality with a particular retro touch.
The most interesting is iVictrola need not plugged, it is very decorative and is handmade. The price is $ 425, and although many do not quite believe it works-you can check it on video.
Anyway, I would like to see is the touch retro music of Metallica, Marilyn Manson and Green Day.

Picture of the week, the favorite application of Steve Jobs
The news of the week: Apple sues HTC. I guess I'll be with me that this will bring tail and side effects, in fact Google and HTC is displayed next to each new story. We have a similar precedent with Nokia and Apple, and things are moving slowly, so we'll count the evolution of this story in our pages.
The guys at Gizmodo share with us a nice little image that defines a situation , it is "the favorite application of Steve Jobs," with it can in a couple of gestures to choose patent and defendant.
I'm no expert on this subject, but in my humble opinion I must say that I do not like the patent system as being mounted, rather than promote technological development makes that companies are constantly making demands and constraining the different lines of work.
I think Apple is abusing the U.S. patent system, and if given the right, after HTC, Motorola would come after Samsung, and a host of companies and ultimately liquidate competition. Furthermore I understand they have to defend all the investment in research and the great ideas that came out of Cupertino, but it is healthy to remember that Apple also has need of others to generate ideas.

Picture of the week, Opera waited for Steve Jobs
I do not know how he manages that Steve Jobs does not appear in the show was on everyone's lips, first in the Global Media Award as Personality of the Year Awards, and second by the complicated approval Opera Mini application by Apple.
Opera are not known for off color advertising on its developments, it's always been pretty smart with the issue, but in view of how complicated it has to Apple opens the door to Opera Mini to their platform, have decided to call some attention.
For those who follow or work in this world, if you have had occasion to pass through the airport Prat at Mobile World Congress, may have met with the girls in the picture. They were welcoming Steve Jobs, waiting to take guests directly to see its implementation.
Leaving jokes aside, I consider that the rules for evaluating an application on Apple are completely dictatorial, the main reason that Opera Mini is not in the platform is not using the browser based on WebKit.
Of course Opera has been in this since it was invented, and not using other development taking into account the quality they already have their different projects. And that one thing seems clear, Apple does not approve many applications for its platform, not for lack of quality, but to control competition.
