The developer of the WikiLeaks Igor Barinov wrote on Twitter, which removed from the App Store application WikiLeaks for iPhone and iPad. In Google’s cache you can see now.

“Application WikiLeaks gives you instant access to the most well-documented source of leaks top-secret memos and other public documents”, – says the program description. More precisely, it was said.

Application cost $ 1.99 and loads the content was free. The Apple did not explain on what grounds the application is locked. Difficult to say whether it violated any rules of service. However, in recent times is not one large company denied the status of any WikiLeaks , including Bank of America, PayPal, Visa and MasterCard, so the move Apple seems logical.

C increasing popularity of mobile devices more and more people looking at them videos, including at various sites. Each site must decide what format to encode video on their pages. According to the site Encoding.com, which encodes a million videos for about 1400 customers, including MTV, 78% of all video is encoded for the device IOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod), and only 4% – for Android. The remaining 18% is the format 3GP.

Of course, this does not mean that Android can be viewed only 4% of all video on the internet, because there is still Flash, MPEG-4, etc. It is something else: the Encode.com is preset, allowing you to select which platform video will be optimized. And optimization for Android picks only 4% of our customers.

However, CEO Jeff Malkin Encoding (Jeff Malkin) notes that although iOS still dominates the Internet video, the proportion of Android is gradually increasing. He also said that is rapidly gaining popularity format H.264. C on the other hand, the share of Windows Media (WMV) has steadily decreased and now stands at just 1.2%.

Apple has begun a demonstration of the first mobile network infomercial iAd, optimized for the iPad . They began advertising the new movie "Tron: the legacy of" Studio Disney. This year it will be the only spot for the iPad, but in January there will be new.

IAd format designed specifically for devices based on iOS, he uses the most of platforms: video, audio and interactive elements with multi-touch control, etc. Advertising "Throne" will appear in an annex on films such as TV Guide. It lasts 10 minutes, it demonstrates the fragments of film, theater, images, sounds and audio track, you can immediately, without leaving the advertising purchased through iTunes. For the first time in iAd can operate directly from infomercial to send email (perhaps to advise the film to friends).

Apple has not published data about the audience iAd . While iAd for iPhone runs only in the U.S., Britain and France. The next year she will appear in Germany and Japan.

The first smartphone that will support LTE-network Verizon, can become iPhone. MacDailyNews wrote that Verizon managers were instructed to begin preparations iPhone release immediately after the Christmas holidays. According to the source, the smartphone will also support CDMA-network of the operator.

However, not all experts share the expectations of such an early appearance LTE-model iPhone . "It seems that Apple just started working on LTE-version – says analyst Rob Enderle (Rob Enderle). – This means that testing will need another six months. " He notes that Apple would be highly unusual to represent half of the updated model in the middle between cycles. Usually, Apple introduced a new model of the iPhone strictly once a year and always during the summer.

"For Apple version 4.5 is as unusual as the possibility of an agreement with Verizon, – adds Enderle. – Verizon categorically insists that its aim – to supervise the consumer, not the phone manufacturer. In view of such cooperation is not really justified. "

Analysts also point out that this would be a breach of an agreement with AT & T an exclusive right to sell the iPhone in the next three years.

However, MacDailyNews fairly confidently asserts, referring to an anonymous but reliable source that the iPhone will not only be a first, but for a long time the only LTE-smartphone from Verizon. It will only be available through Verizon and will not be available in retail stores. Since LTE-network while Verizon only works in 38 U.S. cities will get the phone CDMA-chip for use in traditional 3G-networks.

The Apple and Verizon have not confirmed these rumors, but information on the imminent appearance at the Verizon LTE-models completely official: the vice-president Tony Malone (Tony Melone) said that the first LTE-phones will be presented in February. Network LTE from Verizon delivers data download speeds from 5 to 12 Mbps.

Resource ModMyi wrote that Apple has leased on June 22, Centre for the Arts Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco – the same one which was presented and iPad. It is highly likely there will be a presentation of the new iPhone models in the framework of an international conference for Apple developers.

Usually, Apple is holding a conference for developers in another institution, Moscone Center West. In particular, this was done in the past year. But now the schedule of the center is completely free. And in the Yerba Buena Center Apple usually holds smaller events such as the presentation of individual products.

Opera has announced that Apple has finally approved the browser Mini for sale in the App Store. It should appear there today. Importantly, the browser will be completely free of charge. It supports iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (in classic mode with twice the pixels).

Opera Mini was filed before March 23. Not everyone believed that Apple would approve it, because it is capable of a serious competitor to Safari, especially given free of charge. It is interesting that Mozilla is so convinced that Apple would not approve of Firefox for the iPhone, which did not even submit it for consideration. Perhaps now in Mozilla reconsider their position.

Opera Mini is interesting in that it does not use the engine WebKit, but the compression scheme used remote: all the requested user page first processed at the server, Opera, and compressed to 90% in size. In Opera, argue that the Mini is six times faster than Safari when working in 3G-networks. In Opera Mini is a search on the page, which is not in Safari.

Apple chief Steve Jobs had exchanged a couple e-mails with a programmer Greg Slipakom (Greg Slepak) from Tao Effect, explained to him why the SDK in iPhone 4.0 prohibited cross-compilation. Slipaku this situation is not like it, he believes that Apple restricts the possibility of developers to create programs and prevents both for the iPhone, Android and other platforms.

Jobs wrote that this situation is well explained article is a renowned expert John Gruber (John Gruber). In particular, he wrote that the quality of native software for the iPhone and Mac OS has never been established on cross-platform toolkit. All cross-platform applications for any platform Apple, according to Gruber, have always been second-rate. As an example he cites the "squalid" Kindle the client for the Mac, written in Qt, and the same client for the iPhone, written in Cocoa Touch, that looks and works like a native application iPhone.

Slipak this point of view is not agreed, and wrote that he now has a lot of quality cross-platform tools. At that Jobs said that Apple has only a negative experience with cross-platform tools. Perhaps he was referring to CodeWarrior for Mac OS X, which prevented developers to use the full functionality of the system, the more so was often incompatible with the latest version of the OS.

"We have already tried, but excessive levels between the platform and developer of applications and generate a mediocre retard the development platform", – wrote the head of Apple, yet again repeating the main idea of the article Gruber.

Slipak again objected that the Mac OS is an excellent program, written in a cross-platform environments, such as Firefox and Ableton Live, and that the quality of the program is not associated directly with the development environment. However, this idea was voiced Slipak no longer in correspondence with Jobs, but in your own blog.

"Lousy lousy developers will create applications regardless of the number of levels – he wrote. – It makes no sense to prohibit the conversion tools such as source-to-source, such as Unity3D. In the end, all programs are written iPhone in its own SDK, so this situation is not comparable with the Mac, where you can completely abandon Apple frameworks and write in the other.
