After on stage showing at iPhone 5s debut Nike Move app goes live

iPhone Screenshot 1iPhone Screenshot 3

When Apple took the wraps off the iPhone 5s in September, it showed off a new chip dubbed the M7 motion coprocessor, which digests data from the phones built-in sensors, by showcasing Nikes specially made Nike+ Move app. The title was made available for download on Monday.


According to Nike, the app harnesses data from the M7 chip to "capture your every move," turning the information into "Nike Fuel," a unit of measurement the company uses to track daily activity levels. Nike Fuel is used in a range of products, including the Nike FuelBand SE wearable fitness tracker.

From the release notes:
  • Nike+ Move offers insight into when you move, how you move and where you move - and lets you challenge your friends to see who moves more. 
  • Win the day by beating your NikeFuel average and watch your goal ring change from Red to Green. 
  • See when you are most active throughout the day and how youre doing compared to yesterday. 
  • Move more often and win as many hours as you can throughout the day. 
  • See how you moved through the day with a breakdown of running, walking, and other movement. 
  • See where youre moving and where you move the most each day. 
  • Check out how you compare against your Game Center friends or other Nike+ Move users near you.
Because the app takes advantage of the M7 motion coprocessor, compatibility is currently limited to the iPhone 5s.

A number of other developers have already tapped the M7s motion tracking prowess, as seen inAppleInsiders fitness app roundup, though Nikes app allows users to incorporate data generated by the iPhone 5s with other products in the expanding Nike+ ecosystem.

Everything Apple Announced At Today’s iPad Event


Apple CEO Tim Cook took the stage today at San Francisco’s Moscone Center to kick off the special keynote event that we’ve dubbed here as the iPad Event.

Cook began his presentation with some numbers, including the nine million new iPhone 5s and 5c models that were sold over the first weekend of availability. Cook called it the biggest iPhone launch, ever, and showed a video to underline his point.

Cook then called iOS a “bold new redesign with great new features,” and the “greatest change to iOS since the original iPhone. 200 million people downloaded iOS 7 in the first 5 days, with 64 percent of iOS devices running the new operating system.

iTunes Radio, said Cook, has 20 million listeners, and is a “fun, easy way to discover new music.” He then went on to point out the 1,000,000 apps on the App Store and the 60 billion cumulative downloads of those apps, which brings $13 billion to iOS developers.

Cook then spoke about the Mac, the “best personal computer in the world that people love to use,” calling out other companies’ confusion. Cook reiterated Apple’s clear direction and ambitious goals, as well as not slowing down innovation at Apple.

Hair Force 2? Who’s One?

Craig Federighi came on stage here (with a toned-down but still fabulous hairdo) to talk about OS X Mavericks. This is the third time since WWDC that he’s demoed the latest Mac OS. He showed off a few new features, including better battery life, saying a 13-inch Macbook Air with Mavericks will get another hour of web browsing, and another hour and a half watching iTunes video.

Phil Schiller took the stage today to show off Macbook Air and Macbook Pro models.

The 13-inch Pro model will have a retina display, weigh 3.64 pounds at .71 inches thin, have a 4th generation Intel Haswell processor, Intel Iris graphics card, and still get up to 9 hours of battery life. It ships today at $1299 to start.

The 15-inch Pro model will have all of the above, but will allow customers to choose either the integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics chip or the separate GeForce GT 750M. It will have up to 8 hours of battery life, and starts shipping today at $1999.

Mind. Blown.

Schiller then called the Mac Pro, that gorgeous little cylinder of power, “the future of the pro desktop,” citing the Intel Xeon E5 chip with a Quad, 6, 8, or 12-core CPU chips, along with up to 1 terabyte of flash-based user-accessible storage. It will be available in December of 2013, starting at $2999

Eddy Cue was next, showing off creativity and productivity suites, iLife and iWork, both of which will release for free on both Mac OS X and iOS 7 for new device purchases. Both are also available today. New versions of iMovie and iPhoto look stunning, while the new version of GarageBand on the Mac is leaps ahead of current technology. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote also get an update.

Drooooool.

Cook then called Schiller to the stage again to talk iPad.

Announced today were the two new iPad models: iPad Air and iPad Mini.

The iPad Air replaces the new iPad and has a 4 percent thinner bezel, and has thinned down from 9.4 millimeters to 7.5 millimeters thick. It’s also an incredibly light one pound in weight, dropping almost half a pound since the previous generation. It will have the A7 chip–the same chip that powers the new iPhone 5s–along with a few new hardware improvements, like dual microphones. The new iPad Air will come in silver and white or space gray and black, and will be available starting at $499 for the 16 G wifi version, shipping November 1.

The new iPad Mini gets a retina display and a new A7 chip as well, making a quantum leap in performance over the previous generation, which will remain in the Apple Store for $299. The new iPad Mini with Retina display will start at $399 with WiFi, $529 with LTE. The resolution will be the same as the iPad Air, at 2048 X 1536 for it’s 7.9-inch screen. It will be available in both white and black starting later in November. Schiller also announced new covers and cases for both sizes of iPad, at $39 for the iPad smart covers, and $79 for the iPad cases.

Tim Cook shows up at Palo Alto Apple Store for iPhone launch

via CNBC

Apple customers waiting in line for the new iPhone at the companys Palo Alto retail location got a special treat on Friday: a visit from Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook.

Cook showed up at the Palo Alto University Apple Store Friday morning to greet the Apple faithful as they queued to buy the new iPhone 5c and 5s. AppleInsider reader Ben reports that Cook "shook the hands of everyone in line and then went on his way."

AppleInsider reader Ben confirms that the gray-topped head pictured here is indeed that of Apple CEO Tim Cook.

Reportedly, the Palo Alto retail location had only 10 gold iPhone 5s units, and the Stanford location sold out of gold units by the 15th customer. That is in keeping with recent reports that show that unit in even scarcer supply than other models. Still, demand remains high for all 5s units, as AppleInsider has been informed that the Palo Alto location also sold out of silver models by the 35th customer.

The launch of a new iPhone has become a yearly media event marked by long customer lines and weeks of hype. Cooks appearance at the Palo Alto location is in keeping with a tradition of Apple executives showing up to product launches. In 2010, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs appeared at the Palo Alto Apple Store for the launch of the iPad, sporting his signature black turtleneck, a hoodie, and ripped jeans.

Additional reports have emerged that other Apple executives have been spotted at other Apple retail locations. Twitter user Salim Hafid (@sqreone) sighted Apples Phil Schiller and Eddy Cue at the companys Stanford store on Friday.

Nexus 5 appears on the Google Play Store at 349 First Official Photo as well


The much anticipated Nexus 5 is nearing its launch and has been spotted on the Play Store at $349. The former working link is dead now. The official description from Google goes as this :

"Capture the everyday and the epic in fresh new ways. Starting at $349"




The description suggests at least several storage version. The dead link was pointing at a 16 GB version  and the URL indicates "black", so maybe several colors (black and white at least ?) and hopefully a 32 GB or more Nexus 5.
