Following the official launch of MobileMe late last week a knowledge base article on Apple’s support site began raising concerns amongst some.
The article outlines that instant data sync only occurs to MobileMe from the web interface or a portable device such as iPhone or iPod touch. The main concern is that changes made on a Mac will not be instantly synced back to MobileMe but changes will be updated automatically every 15 minutes or manually by hitting the “Sync” button.
Also regarding MobileMe, Apple has confirmed that the iDisk File Sharing feature of the service will be delayed.
In response to a customers support email “Mike” of Apple’s MobileMe Support team wrote, “When MobileMe was announced, iDisk File Sharing was mentioned as a feature; however, the MobileMe webpage noted that all features listed on that page were subject to change,” continuing, “When MobileMe was released on July 10, 2008, iDisk File Sharing was not included. I apologize for any inconvenience.”
Apple’s website lists iDisk as coming soon but doesn’t offer any timeline as to when the feature will be enabled.
To help some users, Apple has pointed many users towards this support article, which describes other ways in which MobileMe users can share the contents of their remote iDisks.
Over the weekend multiple reports surfaced that the display on the iPhone 3G had a noticeable yellow hue. Now it has been revealed that the increase in warmness is an intentional move by Apple.
Jason Snell over at Macworld spoke to Bob Borchers, Apple’s senior director of iPhone product marketing.
“Borchers indicated that this definitely isn’t a bug or a display defect. Yes, the display on the iPhone 3G has a warmer look—and that’s by design. The previous iPhone’s white was more of a cool blue (Borchers likened it to harsh fluorescent lighting), while this one’s is warmer and more of a sunny yellow,” reports Macworld.
Borchers continued, “We moved the white point in order to make [the display feel] more natural”
According to research by Richard Baguley the new iPhone’s color temperature is between 6800 and 7300 Kelvins, compared with a color temperature of about 8300K on the original iPhone.
Following the discovery of the yellow displays many began reporting that an updated version of the 2.0 firmware could fix the non-issue.
Today, John Gruber writes on his popular blog that updating the firmware is effectively pointless and it certainly doesn’t make any changes to the iPhones display white point.
