| Pulse reader iPad app gets YouTube integration Posted: 17 Feb 2011 10:13 AM PST Get your favourite content from APIs across the web. The uber-successful iPad news reader app Pulse has sensed that maybe RSS feeds aren't the be-all-end-all of news content and has added support from some our favourite content providers.
Users will now be able to access feeds from YouTube, Reddit, Digg and Flickr, among others as the app looks to move beyond being just an RSS app. All of the new channels will be browse-able from within the Pulse app.
"For a lot of our users, Pulse has now become their go-to "browser" for consuming content," said Developer Alphonso Labs on the company blog.
"And this content does not have to be restricted to RSS feeds. Today, we're adding SIX brand new sources to Pulse. Our newest team member, Charles Chen, has worked with six different APIs to bring together some beautiful content right inside Pulse - and this ranges from social news to engaging videos to stunning photographs."
The new content can be accessed through the Featured tab and the new upgrade also comes to the iPhone and Android.

| BBC iPlayer Partner Linking offers competitor's content Posted: 17 Feb 2011 08:40 AM PST BBC catch up service now offers competitor's content The BBC has launched a content sharing initiative for the iPlayer that will see the likes of ITV, Channel 4 and Five make content available from the catch-up service.
Whilst the additional programming will not be viewable directly within the iPlayer setup, full on-demand listings for the competitive terrestrial and digital channels will be available with users being redirected to the respective sites and catch-up content providers.
Speaking in an official blog, the BBC’s Paul Clarke declared: "We think BBC Online should serve as a hub to support other UK sites and want to double the traffic we send externally.”
He added: "Already the BBC News product is one of the top 5 sites driving referrals to UK newspapers, adding value to the UK online economy and our audiences: this partnership is a good example of how the BBC iPlayer can follow in those footsteps.”
Stepping on the toes of the repeatedly delayed set top box initiative YouView, Clarke went on to state: "Given the popularity of BBC iPlayer, we hope this feature will support fellow broadcasters and boost the overall uptake of video on demand."
What do you think of the BBC’s decision to include links out to its competitors’ on-demand content? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

| Apple iPhone 5 release to see touchscreen shortages Posted: 17 Feb 2011 08:18 AM PST iPad 2 and iPhone 5 releases to see touchscreen stocks dwindle Apple’s dominance of the smartphone and tablet markets could see competitors suffer touchscreen stock shortages later this year it has been revealed.
With Apple reportedly looking to ship 40 million iPads in 2011 as well as launching the iPad 2 and the iPhone 5 it is believed that the Cupertino tech giant has secured control of around 60 per cent of the world’s touchscreen production, leaving its rivals under stocked and struggling to meet demand.
Set to affect second-tier tech players the most, the rise in touchscreen devices from the likes of BlackBerry, HTC, HP, Motorola, Samsung, Dell and LG will see smaller, emerging and lesser known manufacturers fail to meet expectations and demand for their devices.
iPod, iPad or iPhone, which of Apple’s fleet of touchscreen devices most takes your fancy? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

| New Apple MacBook Pro release set for March 1st? Posted: 17 Feb 2011 07:29 AM PST MacBook Pro to receive SSD and instant-on upgrade? Apple’s new MacBook Pro is set to launch in the UK on March 1st new reports suggest, with the leading laptop to feature Intel’s next-gen core technology, Sandy Bridge.
Delayed slightly due to a design flaw in the Sandy Bridge hardware that resulted in a mass Intel recall, Apple is reported to be targeting a March 1st arrival as web blog Apple Insider claims “a person familiar with the matter” confirms the new range will go live within two weeks.
Although yet to be confirmed it is expected that the new MacBook Pro arrival will sport a few design changes to bring the device more in-line with its MacBook Air brethren. Whilst the inclusion of Solid State Drives and possible instant-on technology top many people’s hit lists, it is unknown whether the Pro’s increased power requirements would allow for such additions.
What adaptations would you like to see appear on the next generation of the Apple MacBook Pro? Share your thoughts with us via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

| US Tabloid claims Steve Jobs has 6 weeks to live Posted: 17 Feb 2011 05:05 AM PST The National Enquirer claims Steve Jobs 'has 6 weeks' to live but the Apple boss is scheduled to meet US President Barack Obama and the claims have been dismissed.
Reported by the National Enquirer, a US-based tabloid, a “skeletal-looking” Jobs was snapped leaving the cancer specialist after lunching with his wife. In a somewhat un-scientific move the paper then passed the images on to critical-care physician Dr Samuel Jacobson for analysis.
The Enquirer added to this less than convincing evidence with physician Dr Gabe Mirkin throwing his two cents in on the photographs. He said: "He definitely appears to be in the terminal stages of his life from these photos.” Adding: “He is terminal. What you are seeing is extreme muscle wasting from calorie depravation, most likely caused by cancer. He has no muscle left in his buttocks, which is the last place to go."
Jobs’ current medical leave of absence is his third from Apple since 2004 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer before undergoing a liver transplant in 2009.
Announcing his latest medical absence one month ago on January 17th, Steve Jobs stated: "At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.”
Jobs concluded: “I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.”
These claims of Jobs’ life expectancy have yet to be confirmed or denied by the Apple founder’s people with the pictures taken just a day after Jobs was reported to have spent a full day working within the Apple compound alongside COO and stand-in replacement Tim Cook.

| Sony S1 PlayStation tablet in the works Posted: 17 Feb 2011 04:24 AM PST PlayStation tablet mock-up pictures surface Sony looks set to join the tablet party after all with a 9.4-inch device being touted with serious gaming credentials.
As well as getting their hands on this mock-up image, Engadget claims to have had the device confirmed by “trusted and independent sources” that say the slate, codenamed “S1” will run on Google’s Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS.
In terms of key features, Sony’s recently launched Qriocity service will play a major role in helping the S1 to deliver music, games, ebooks and video on demand content.
As well as landing with Sony PS One games preloaded onto the tablet, some form of PlayStation integration is likely to feature as well. The S1 is now apparently PlayStation certified which is good news for gaming tablet fans.
Unlike the more conventional design of the tablets we have seen so far, we can expect a ‘wrap’ design for the S1 which is said to mimic an open paperback stuffed into the back pocket. Bizarre as that sounds, it is supposed to make the tablet better to touch-type on, and make it easier to hold in one hand.
Constructed from materials that ‘feel premium’ the S1 will boast front and rear-facing cameras, a USB-A port, an IR port for controlling other devices, a Bravia Remote function, and will pack a Tegra 2 processor. A dedicated Qriocity button is something that is still currently up for discussion.
Do you like the sound of the Sony S1 tablet? Let us know your thoughts via Twitter and Facebook.
While we wait for the Sony PlayStation tablet to surface you can take a look at the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play 'PSP' phone to get a taste of what could be on the way.

| Dell tablets and smartphone releases up to 2012 revealed Posted: 17 Feb 2011 03:04 AM PST 6 tablets and 3 smartphones show up in leaked release chart Right, where do we begin? Firstly, we should say that the information we have here is from a highly reliable source inside Dell, and that what we’re looking at is two leaked roadmaps: one for tablets and one for smartphones, both of which run between now and Q1 2012.
Smartphones first, then. First up – after the Dell Venue Pro, which we already know about – is the Wrigley, a Windows Phone 7 handset due in Q3 2011. It’s got a 1GHz processor, a 4-inch WVGA screen and an 8-meg camera. The Millennium is a 4.3-inch device coming in Q4, running Android 2.4 (Ice Cream). The Hancock – due in Q1 next year – will be a very similar beast, although it’ll sport a 4-inch display and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
