Apple might have some more good news for Apple Fans during tomorrow’s media event. Along with a smaller touchscreen enabled iPod Nano, Apple might extend iTunes music previews from 30 seconds to 60 seconds. This news come from CNET:
On Wednesday, when Apple CEO Steve Jobs takes the stage at the company’s annual September media event, he is expected to announce that iTunes users will be allowed at least twice the amount of time to sample a song, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the move.
Currently, iTunes offers 30-second snippets of songs, a feature designed to give users a taste of the music to help them decide whether they like it enough to buy. Some users have long complained that half a minute isn’t enough time to really hear a song.

Autodesk is expected to announce on Tuesday that its AutoCAD software will soon be available for Apple’s iPad, iPhone and Mac computers.
“The popular 3D design, engineering and entertainment software has been specifically created for Apple’s handheld devices, Autodesk said in the announcement which was seen by Dow Jones Newswires,” Sherr reports. “The specialized mobile version, dubbed ‘AutoCAD WS’ will be released alongside its counterpart for the Mac platform this fall in Europe and North America.”
When AutoCAD dropped Mac support in 1992, Apple was starting to lose steam and focus under a series of executives — John Sculley, Michael Spindler, and Gil Amelio — and the loss of the premier engineering-design software at the time took wind out of Apple’s efforts to expand into the business market. So the return of AutoCAD represents a new level of acceptance and a vindication of CEO Steve Jobs’ Mac OS X and iOS strategies.

This blog post by Jonny Evans on Computerworld.com edition grabbed my attention this morning - So what exactly is so important about mobile computing and the evolution of the smartphone? Why is the war becoming so intense,innovation so frenetic, and the hype so loud? These are just mobile phones you can play games on, portable address books for texting and time-wasting, aren’t they?
Not at all.
Here is the link to that blog post. Let me share few interesting excerpts:
Look at the growth curve. We had 100 million cellphone subscribers worldwide in 1996. Ten years later we had 2.5 billion. This hit 4.6 billion users this year. 60% of the world’s citizens have access to mobile phones, according to a recently released UN report.
These things have already changed the world. Beyond the more industrialized nations, mobiles have created communication infrastructures that have switched on whole countries.
Intel’s Matt Ployhar (he loves his iPhone) writes,
“When you look under the hood at the capabilities of something like an iPhone 4 it is literally about twice as powerful as the first desktop PC I purchased which was a Micron P266 with an 8mb video card!“
And this industry is evolving fast: at “Moore’s Law pace of faster”, Ployhar points out. Where is this going?
Here’s a notion. In future your iPhone (or shortly afterwards, your Android phone and potentially one day your BlackBerry, Nokia or Windows-powered device) will be your digital heartbeat. It will know when you are holding it by your heartbeat, password, finger print and retina scan. Hand it to another approved user and it will be able to switch to another user ID (OS X’s user identities means so much more than a Guest account).
But it doesn’t stop there. Your iPhone will speak to the devices around it. March across to a computer and the two devices will speak to each other and you’ll find you have more or less immediate access to all the data and applications you usually use on your own machines.

USB Fever has been releasing innovative iPhone accessories from quite sometime now. But this one seems to be the best of all – an iPhone case with dual SIM card slot. Now how on earth would this work. Well there is a dual-SIM adapter attached with the SIM slot. Once you have your piggy-backed SIM card attached, you can toggle between the two cards using the iPhone’s settings menu. But you can’t use both SIM cards simultaneously, and when you switch from one SIM card to the other, it takes a few minutes for your iPhone to search for a signal.
Features:
- One iPhone (4G) with 2 SIM Cards (see note below)
- No need to cut your SIM CARD
- STK Menu (see installations below)
- Comes with Crystal case to protect the dual sim card and your iPhone
This accessory is compatible with:
- iPhone 4G (Firmware 4.0.0)
- iPhone 4G (Firmware 4.0.1)
- iPhone 4G (Firmware 4.0.2)
The adapter case is available now for $29. via USB Fever. Doesnt look cool, but if you need dual SIM on your iPhone, you dont have much choice either, right?

Ars Technica has some great news this morning. They have recieved some report that suggest iTunes may finally see wireless syncing between iOS devices and iTune. And this feature might be unveiled at next weeks annual MUSIC event. If this happens, my iPhone will just rock, as I will be able to wirelessly sync it with my iTunes.
According to anonymous music executives speaking to All Things Digital suggest that Apple could finally bring wireless media syncing between iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches. For reasons unknown, Apple has required these devices to physically connect to a computer running iTunes to sync music and other media. However, Apple’s licensing doesn’t necessarily require a physical connection, only a secure one. If Apple launches an iPod touch based on the A4 processor as expected next week, it will have a stable of iDevices with built-in encryption capabilities that may make wireless syncing secure enough to satisfy contractual obligations.
I hope these predictions come true for the September 1st event. Another few days to go. As usual, you can follow live blog feeds during the show at Engadget.
