If you came along for our most recent podcast you heard us discussing some of the new features uncovered in the iOS 4.3 beta, including multitouch gestures for multitasking like four-finger swipes to go between apps. They seem hugely useful on an iPad but, on an iPhone, sounded like a bit of a handful. Now we have some video evidence, with Antoni Nygaard managing to get them working on his iPhone, along with the lock/mute switch toggle as well. Given these multitouch gestures aren't coming to the iPad (yet) we're guessing it won't be hitting the iPhone either, but we can always hope.

Apple's COO (and current Steve Jobs stand-in) Tim Cook thinks "there's not much" competition to the company's iPad tablet. When queried about Apple's view on what the rest of the market offers, Cook was brutally candid in describing Windows-driven machines as generally being big, heavy and expensive, while current generations of Android-based slates are in his opinion merely "scaled-up smartphones." While we agree that Windows 7 isn't a terribly touch-friendly affair, we don't know that Cook's comments on Android are quite so pertinent now that Google's tablet-savvy Honeycomb iteration has been unveiled. Then again, he has something to say about the next generation of Android tablets as well, noting that the ones announced at CES lack pricing and release schedules, leading him to conclude that "today they're vapor." Ouch. As a parting shot, Tim took a moment to reaffirm Apple's belief that its integrated approach will always trump the fragmented nature of Android and its plurality of app stores.

Apple just dropped iOS 4.3 beta 2 on world, and with it a big sad bomb: those nifty iPad multitasking gestures we discovered in beta 1 won't be enabled when 4.3 ships to customers. Instead, Cupertino says it's "providing this preview to gather input on how these gestures work with your apps," Oh well -- there's always 4.4, or even iOS 5, we suppose. We're on the lookout for other new features, but for now let us know what else you spot in comments, okay?

Playboy boss Hugh Hefner has confirmed that — despite Steve Jobs' protestations that Apple is pure and Android is for porn — an app for browsing uncensored back issues of Playboy is to launch later this year on the iPad. The news, which is likely to generate significantly more buzz for Apple's popular tablet as a publishing device than Rupert Murdoch's delayed digital newspaper The Daily, comes courtesy of Hefner's Twitter stream, in which he proclaimed: 'Big news! Playboy — both old & new — will be available on [the] iPad beginning in March.

In the run up to its 10 billionth App Store download, Apple has revealed charts listing the all-time most-downloaded software from its iOS service.
In the US, games comprise nine of the top ten paid apps, with this dropping to 8/10 in the UK. The recently contentious Doodle Jump is the most downloaded paid app in the US, though it is overtaken by Angry Birds in the UK store.
Also placing highly in both charts are Tap Tap Revenge 3, Pocket God, Flight Control, Bejewelled Blitz and Traffic Rush.
Gamers are far less prevalent in the free iPhone apps chart, with Paper Toss the only appearance in the top ten.
Paid iPad apps include four games in the top ten, and just one in the free chart.
Figures for most of these games are undisclosed, but Angry Birds is known to have sold 12 million copies across both formats.

Apple has posted record revenues, sales and profits in its latest quarterly financial report, seeing earnings rise by 78 per cent in year on year figures.
The report was issued last night and shows figures for the quarter ending on Christmas day 2010, which is Apple's first financial quarter 2011. Quarterly revenue stood at $26.74 billion (ÂŁ16.7bn) and quarterly profit at $6 billion (ÂŁ3.75bn), both record figures for the company. During that period last year, Apple posted revenues of $15.68 billion (ÂŁ9.8bn) and profit of $3.38 billion (ÂŁ2.1bn).
The company also released specific sales figures for its major lines, shifting 4.13 million Macs during the period, 23 per cent more than the same quarter in 2010. Apple also sold 16.24 million iPhones during the three months leading up to Christmas 2010, an 86 per cent growth year on year.
19.45 million iPods were bought at retail during the quarter - a seven percent unit decline from one year ago. The company's newest product, the iPad, sold 7.33 million units during the quarter.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who announced Monday that he'll be leaving the company in the hands of experienced COO Tim Cook whilst he takes a period of medical leave, made a statement to accompany the figures.
"We had a phenomenal holiday quarter with record Mac, iPhone and iPad sales," said Jobs. "We are firing on all cylinders and we've got some exciting things in the pipeline for this year including iPhone 4 on Verizon which customers can't wait to get their hands on."
"We couldn't be happier with the performance of our business, generating $9.8 billion in cash flow from operations during the December quarter," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO. "Looking ahead to the second fiscal quarter of 2011, we expect revenue of about $22 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share of about $4.90."

There's usually as much fun to be had before an Apple product launch as there is after, and this upcoming iPad 2 device is no exception. The latest scuttlebutt it has succumbed to comes courtesy of some cases that have cropped up in China -- AppleInsider and MIC Gadget have independently found iPad 2 shells that feature nearly identical cutouts -- with the resulting allegations pointing toward a rear-facing camera, an SD card slot, and perhaps even a Mini DisplayPort receptacle. Our own sources have confirmed the former two, but the latter, a miniaturized video output already featured in MacBooks, is a new development and less of a certainty. Then again, looking at the size of the hole leaves few alternative options (and a USB slot is extremely unlikely), so we're willing to believe that a Mini DisplayPort will be an inclusion Apple makes for the sake of offering choice -- even if it prefers you to send your video streams over an untethered AirPlay connection.

Two arrests have been made connected to the security breach that exposed thousands of iPad users' email addresses and other info last year. Daniel Spitler and Andrew Auernheimer (yeah, that guy again) have been taken into custody and charged with conspiracy to access a computer without authorization and fraud, for allegedly using a custom script (built by Spitler) called iPad 3G Account Slurper to access AT&T's servers, mimic an iPad 3G, and try out random ICC identifiers. Once a valid ICC was found, one could harvest the user's name and email address. Of course, the hackers maintain that this was all done to force AT&T to close a major security flaw, and we'll be interested to see what exactly the company does to make things right.

Retail giant Gamestop has revealed more of its plans for recent acquisition Kongregate, today announcing an Android game hub based on the service.
Kongregate Arcade is billed as " the world's largest collection of free mobile games for Android," thanks to its use of Flash titles.
Over 300 games are available at launch, with more added weekly. Kongregate is also "actively looking to identify opportunities to work with its community of more than 8,500 developers to create new Flash based game content exclusively for the Kongregate Arcade library which should further jumpstart Android as a viable gaming platform."
The free Arcade application is available now via the Android Market, and works on all devices running Android 2.2 or later.
At present it includes a small amount of in-app advertising, and also offers user registration. There is no other overt monetisation method at present, but it joins a number of planned alternatives to Google's own Market - including one from Amazon.
"In creating the Kongregate Arcade, we wanted to solve the game discovery problem that all Android owners have shared," said Jim Greer, CEO of Kongregate.
"It was important to reinforce our mission to provide gamers with great free games anytime, anywhere, and to broaden the reach of the Kongregate community across multiple platforms. The arrival of Kongregate Arcade is the perfect next step in that strategy."

As Apple approaches reaching the 10 billion downloads milestone for its App Store, new estimates suggest that an average of 60 apps have been downloaded per iOS device sold.
This is five times greater than in 2008, when estimated downloads were around 10 apps per iOS device. Asymco analyst Horace Dediu arrived at the figure via a combination of official device and software sales figures and estimates.
He calculated that the Store currently sees over 30 million downloads per day, and rising.
He also noted that "if we measure downloads as a function of the number of months since store launch, we can see that Apps reached 10 billion downloads in less than half the time it took songs (31 vs 67 months.)"
With this in mind, he predicted that app downloads would surpass iTunes Music Store downloads "I suspect by March."
While many apps are free, Dediu notes that "as the number of apps attached to any single device continues to increase, apps create increasingly higher switching costs for users" - meaning there may be increasingly reluctance to move to non-Apple devices.

Rumors surrounding the iPad 2 have been swirling for some time now. The latest rumors indicate the next iPad model will sport a higher resolution screen. The current iPad has a resolution of 1024x768 and 132 ppi. There has been much talk lately that Apple will be including a Retina Display (300 ppi) with the next iPad, but that is highly unlikely. A 9.7-inch screen with a resolution that high would be impractical. It’s far more likely that Apple will simply double the horizontal and vertical resolution as they did with the iPhone 4. The iPhone 3GS has a resolution of 480x320, while the iPhone 4’s screen was increased to 960x640.
Recently, a developer found artwork within version 1.1 of Apple’s iBooks app that was larger than typical iPad images. Upon closer inspection the image seemed to be pixel-doubled.

Despite losing in court last year, Apple is still trying to crack down on jailbreakers and unlockers. This time, they're asking the US Copyright Office for help, using specious arguments about software piracy and copyright infringement. Though these arguments are not new, and had been rejected by federal regulators in last July's decision, it's clearly Apple's hope that if they complain loudly enough and frequently enough, eventually they'll either find a venue where they'll get a favorable ruling, or scare people away from making modifications to their own devices without Apple's sanction.
The Librarian of Congress, who oversees the US Copyright Office, released new exemptions to the Digital Copyright Millennium Act last year which ruled that jailbreaking or unlocking an iPhone or any other device is not illegal. The ruling was clear and unambiguous, and even went so far as to state that there was "no basis for copyright law to assist Apple in protecting its restrictive business model." In a response almost childlike in its vindictiveness, Apple then released a statement vowing to void the warranty of jailbroken or unlocked devices, which is an action that is still permitted under the law, but seemingly aimed more at intimidating users than providing product support.
Today - in an NBC news report that rather typically confuses jailbreaking, unlocking, and pirating - we're learning that Apple has directly approached the Copyright Office asking them to crack down on the practice of jailbreaking, saying in part that "current jailbreak technologies now in widespread use utilize unauthorized modifications to the copyrighted bootloader and operating system, resulting in the infringement of the copyrights in those programs." This gambit comes despite the fact that the Copyright Office explicitly stated in July that "while a copyright owner might try to restrict the programs that can be run on a particular operating system, copyright law is not the vehicle for imposition of such restrictions."
Even if Apple fails once again to legally sanction users who want to modify the devices they have bought and paid for, the mere request itself may serve to dissuade developers for writing apps or tweaks for Cydia, fearing that they may be slapped with a copyright infringement lawsuit. It's difficult to see this as anything other than bullying behavior on Apple's part.

So, AppleInsider has some new info on Apple's successor to the A4, which we were talking up last week, and our sources say it's spot on. Specifically, AI claims that Apple is moving to dual-core SGX543 graphics, up from the A4's single SGX535 GPU (also known as the PowerVR 535). What's particularly great about this move is that the graphical power improvement is rated at around 4X the current generation -- which makes a true 4X resolution iPad "Retina Display" upgrade seem much more of a possibility. We're also starting to see 1080p HDMI video output as a "default" spec in this year's generation of devices, so there's no reason Apple will want to be left out -- particularly in the Apple TV -- and these dual graphics cores could handle that easily. The same cast of A4 characters are to credit for this new A5 generation, including the Apple-owned Intrinsity and PA Semi, while Samsung will again do the production duties. But details aside, we're just excited to play around with all this new horsepower when it hits -- apparently the PSP 2 is rumored to use the same graphics architecture with even more cores. Isn't Moore's law a grand thing?

Korean smartphone maker LG has expressed disappointment at the 'consumer visibility" of the firm's Windows Phone 7 smartphone effort.
Speaking in an interview with British gadget site Pocket-Lint, LG global 'marketing strategy and planning team director' James Choi said that the firm had high expectations and that the firm feels that Windows Phone 7 is "absolutely perfect for a huge segment" of consumers.
Android, by contrast, has been seen as being "extremely complicated" while Windows Phone 7 is "very intuitive and easy to use" but Choi said that Windows Phone 7 being so user friendly meant that some believed the Microsoft mobile OS reboot was "a bit boring."
Choi reiterated that Windows Phone 7 has strong potential "even though the first push wasn't what everyone expected," he said.
Interestingly, Choi suggested that a multi-OS microcosm was in demand from the network operators with some saying there "too much Android in the portfolio".
Admitting that there was "skepticism" in the market around Windows Phone 7, Choi said that the appearance of mid range and low-end Windows Phone 7 handsets will mean that Windows Phone 7 will experience market share growth.
"Right now it’s only exclusively present in a high tier, because of its hardware requirements, and that’s limiting growth," Choi told Pocket-Lint.

Reports abound that the next generation of iPhone and iPad hardware will run (nay, sprint) on multi-core processors and feature screen resolutions higher than many desktop monitors.
That processor will be made by Qualcomm and be dubbed the A5, according to Engadget, and be under the hood of all three upcoming devices: iPad 2, iPhone 5 and Apple TV 2.
AppleInsider goes on to claim that the iPad 2 will use that power to produce resolutions that potentially reach 2048 by 1536 pixels.
The iPad 2 will also apparently feature a camera on the front and back, an SD slot and launch in April, to coincide with anniversary of the iPad 1 launch.
The iPhone 5, meanwhile, is reported to represent a rethink in iPhone design - albeit one presumably under the hood. Word is that Apple staff are testing the device internally as you read this, and that a summer release is planned.
The unwritten word is that games will look and perform much better on iPhone 5 and iPad 2. And when you consider Infinity Blade as today's technical benchmark then the future is bright indeed.

The discovery of a new driver bundle inside the iOS 4.3 beta is suggesting a potentially radical leap in performance for iDevices. The PowerVR SGX543, the smallest OpenCL-capable graphics core, isn't used in any current iOS device, but its inclusion in the beta suggests one or more future device will incorporate it. The power of this co-processor could lead to iPads and iPhones that have comparable performance to notebook computers.
Apple currently uses Imagination Technology's PowerVR SGX535 as the graphics coprocessor in the A4 chip. This is the same GPU used in the iPhone 3GS, as well as the Motorola Droid and the Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab. It supports OpenGL 2.0 and can render up to 28 million polygons per second with a fillrate of 500 million pixels per second. The next-generation SGX543, by comparison, can render 35 million polygons per...

You may or may not be old enough to remember Sierra On-Line, makers of such fine games as Leisure Suit Larry, the King's Quest, and Police Quest, but none of that matters anymore. Thanks to the folks over at Sarien, you now have access to these glorious titles via your iPad's web browser. The entire catalog has been ported over, and the games which were previously available via the web only are now there on your Apple tablet! The whole shebang is now hosted on Amazon's content distribution network, and the games have been extensively tweaked for that multitouch interface. Sarien hasn't apparently been issued a cease and desist from Activision -- owners of the catalog -- yet, so get these free gems of yesteryear while you can.

On Friday morning, MuscleNerd provided an update to our community. Calling it the "Official iPhone unlock statement," MuscleNerd says: "no unlock will be released until after 4.2.5 or official 4.3 (whichever is last) is out." If its' true that good things really do take time, now would be a good time to aquire that virtue called patience - assuming being a member of this community hasn't already imbued you with that aforementioned attribute.
Although the revelation isn't groundbreaking, MuscleNerd's latest comment is serving to cool the jets of those who think the Dev Team is about to drop "what's next" in the coming days. "It’s silly to release anything during Apple betas," says MuscleNerd, "because most people can’t take advantage.”
The news from MuscleNerd comes just as an NBC News affiliate reports that Apple is ramping up efforts to recruit the Federal Government to assist in cracking down on iOS jailbreaking.
