Apple is launching the new iPhone today in over 25 countries

After selling more than 3 million iPads in the first wave of countries that received just a week after Apple is already taking the product today to 25 other countries - again with stores opening at 8 o'clock in the morning local time.

They are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macau, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia , Spain and Sweden.

For now, though, Apple has not announced anything about the third wave - which countries will be in the cake and when. Given this strong start, the good news is that the company seems to have prepared well for faster international expansion in its history.

My guess is that Brazil - mainly due to pending approval in ANATEL - is not yet in the third wave, but the fourth (mid to late April, who knows).

Chinese writers continue accusing Apple of selling pirated books in his shop

The snowball continues to grow. Began in January when nine Chinese writers have accused Apple of selling pirated books in his shop in the country, in a process of $ 1.88 million. The apple did nothing and, in February, the value rose to about $ 3.6 million , since the number of pirated books had increased.

The months go by and involved again accuse the company of not endeavor to resolve the situation.Results: according to PhysOrg.com , ten authors entered the contest, which sums up to three processes - the values, currently at $ 3.6 million, will go to $ 7.7 million. Altogether 23 authors and are already 95 books pirates involved.

If this were the U.S. App Store undoubtedly applications pirates are reportedly out of the store. I do not understand why Apple does not solve this soon, once and for all. Just get in touch with the developers responsible for the publication of books in the store. If piracy is proven, just remove the books. I see no reason to sit idly by as she is, waiting for a decision which may cost a few million dollars good. I know this is easier said than done but face it, a situation is not that difficult for Apple to solve ...

According to the victim, if the problem had happened the day before, would have been in a room in his mother's house, which probably would take longer for someone to notice that something was wrong - who knows what could happen ...

new iPhone's battery remains charged even after state already be at 100%

Amid all his analysis on the screen of the new iPhone , the DisplayMate said something curiousthat the iLounge said today : when the charge indicator of the new iPad reaches 100%, this does not necessarily mean that your battery is already fully in effect charged.

The behavior is not uncommon in modern electronics, but on the iPad case still allows it to continue charging for an hour on average - which would be expected, given the great capacity of your battery .

The question is whether this is even something expected from Apple, or if, before this discovery, it will change the behavior of the indicator in a future software update. # FikDik for the owners of the new iPhone so.
