Steve Wozniak Misquoted 'Almost every app that I have is better on the iPhone'

Earlier today we posted that Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple has been interviewed and quoted that "Android phones have more features" which would help Google's OS become the dominant smartphone platform and will be the winner of smartphone wars, Wozniak is now trying to walk back his comments a little bit.

Steve Wozniak: Android will be the Dominant Smartphone OS

Steve Wozniak, Apple's co-founder today said that the Android will be the dominant smartphone platform. Le's hope Steve Jobs won't kick his co-founder for this.

Steve Jobs' Personal Call with iPad Developer

Let's imagine, you are developer, you spend quality hours making a quality app, you submit it to the App Store, then..... they reject it and you are so pissed off that so you send back a flaming email. After a few hours, Steve rings you up to solve your problem.

The same thing happened to Ram Arumugam, a Seattle based app developer. So Mr. Ram here, made an iPad app named "Economy for iPad", which he obviously sent it for approval. But, the Apple genius rejects the app because he hadn't used some of the public API's provided by Apple to solve a keyboard issue. Ram Arumugam was angry so he sent an email to Apple to vent out his anger. Just after 2 hours, Steve called Ram up to sort out the problem and make him an happy Dev.

"I was very surprised," Ram told the paper. "I was not even sure whether he would have time to read the e-mail." The outcome of the conversation, however, resulted in Ram's app finally getting into the App Store. It took a conversation with Jobs to get Ram to drop the troublesome code. Subsequently, we now the privilege of checking out the $2.99 app that caused such a raucous. For Ram, of course, the ordeal was worth it. The dev was happy to report that his economic stat-filled app is now the top selling paid app in the finance category of the iPad App Store.

That really nice of you Steve! So what do you guys think? [via ModMyi, SeattleTimes]

Steve Jobs: White iPhone 4 will be Available for Christmas [Update 1x]

Two months ago, Apple announced that they delayed the White iPhone 4 launch till the end of 2010, this was due to color issues, antenna issues and more. We are just three months away from the end of 2010, so Christmas would be the best time for White iPhone 4 launch?

iDB reader Nathan sent Steve this email:

Hello Steve, My name is Nathan, I’m a high school student from San Bernardino. I also happen to be one of your biggest fan and a total Apple fanboy and proud to be. I’ve been saving up money to buy the new iphone 4. I want the white one but Apple said it won’t be available until later this year. I know you must be asked this question hundreds of times a day but do you think we can expect to get the white iphone for xmas?
I hope you can answer. Thank you Steve

Steve Jobs replies from his iPhone:

Christmas is later this year.

Of course this may be not real source as it's unverified mail, we can't trust the source but at least we can get the hopes up as sounds very likely. We will keep informed, stay tuned!

You can take a look on our iPhone 4 Activity Section, and Also check our iPad Activity Section for more news and posts.

Update 1: The mail you saw above is completely FAKE. as the user who submitted the report to the blogs, has publicly admitted and had created everything as a kind of "joke". He also apologized because he never imagined this result.
Therefore we can say that there are no official news about the launching date for the white iPhone, but Apple has always said that the device would be released in late 2010, so we still expected we will see it in Christmas or may be earlier.

Oh, Remember Steve Jobs Conversion that was a Fake, It's REAL?

Do you remember that Conversion with Steve Jobs and Tom from Boy Genius Report. After Apple said it's a fake and Steve Jobs didn't do such a conversion, Now Boy Genius Report says that Steve Jobs email wasn't fake and it was real, they have proves and they got a perfect post!

Here's a good part in the post:

On to the Steve Jobs emails.
Jason Burford, someone who we have never worked with in the past, emailed us and said that he had a pretty interesting email conversation with Steve Jobs and wanted to share it with us, but wanted to be compensated. He sent us the email headers and we had some of our independent tech guys verify the email header information and then inform us whether they were legitimate. Their response was yes, that they were legitimate, and that the entire thread would be extremely hard to fake, if not impossible. After speaking with Jason and getting more background, I decided to run that story. There was an error in my write up where the last line in the article was written to be said by Steve Jobs, when in fact it was Jason who emailed that in reply to Steve Jobs.

Another good part:

Let’s go over it one more time… someone who wanted to remain 100% anonymous and only asked to be paid a nominal fee of a couple hundred dollars lied and completely made up this entire thing? Someone who showed me in his AT&T call records more than two calls from Apple representatives (Texas phone numbers, confirmed to be Apple Customer Relations) on the exact dates he said they called trying to resolve the situation after he had emailed Steve Jobs? Someone who repeatedly emailed me and the BGR staff to correct the last line in my story since it wasn’t accurate? Someone who has now had his name revealed to the public via a tasteless article from AppleInsider, and is now being called by reporters non-stop asking about this article and whether his exchange is true or not? They still wouldn’t admit this was fake? No, you know why? Because it wasn’t fake.

Hey, they got the real proofs there on their post, check the full post with title "The entire Steve Jobs email story… It’s real" from BGR here. Stay tuned for more news!

Apple PR Confirms that This Email Exchange between "Jobs" and "Tom" was a Fake!

You all sure heard about it, but I didn't want to write about this Email conversion between one of readers of BGR and Steve Jobs because it seemed like a fake! Now Apple PR (Press Release) Confirms that this Email Exchange between Tom and Steve Jobs where they talked about Reception problems in iPhone 4 is a just a big fake!

A lot of sites and blogs talked about this conversion [Check here] So Apple PR says that this Exchange is a fake espically the part Jobs saying "Retire, relax, enjoy your family. It is just a phone. Not worth it."

Asked on the record whether Steve Jobs was the author of any or all of these statements, a top Apple spokesman emphatically denied it.
