Apple News Over The Holiday Overview: What You Missed
Unless you go cold turkey on the internet during your Christmas Holiday, then you know all about the building rumors about the Apple tablet, and possible upcoming event. We thought since we took a quick break from posting during the Holiday that we would give you a simple rundown of what you missed.
- Apple is planning an event for late January, possibly the 26th to showcase some new products
- Silicone Alley Insider has reported that some developers are being asked to showcase large screen versions of apps.
- Jobs is supposedly very happy with the upcoming tablet and an upcoming surprise
- A new patent from Apple shows what is called “Keystroke tactility arrangement on a smooth touch surface”. Possibly a way t interact on a tablet.
- iSlate.com was purchased by Apple in 2007. Possibly the name of the new tablet? We certainly hope not.
There you have it in condensed form. Now we wait to see what is next in this fog of rumors.

New Fring Update Brings Video Calls To iPhone
A new update from Fring is now available which legally allows video calls via the iPhone. It sounds great up front, but does not allow the iPhone to transmit video, rather it allows for a PC or Mac user to transfer to you. According to the developers it is only a limit of no front camera on the iPhone. The other catch is that you have to use WiFi to use the video feature. Other than those limitations this brings us a step in the right direction of all future calls showing video if one chooses. The app is free and is available now.

As the photo above shows, if you download the free version of the Assassin Creed App you can now buy the full version within it. Either way it is an easier and more convenient way for developers to make themselves a little extra cash at the convenience of the user.

The Pre was worked on by many ex-iPhone developers and the usability definitely shows.
If you want a closer look just take a look at all the videos on the PalmPreForumDotOrg Youtube Channel.
