Starbucks has partnered with Apple to offer paid iPhone applications for free to its customers every week.the iPad maker and Starbucks have long been offering free songs from iTunes to Starbucks customers under the Pick of the Week scheme. Customers were able get free Pick of the Week cards from a Starbucks cash counter when they went to pay for coffee or snacks. the card contains a code which can be entered in the iTunes App Store to avail the free song.the same Pick of the Week scheme has now been expanded to offer paid applications for free and the first paid being offered to iPhone users is the Shazam Encore app which retails for $5.99 from the App Store, CNET reports.the app allows users to recognise unknown songs and discover new music. the price of the app is far more than the $1 songs Apple used to offer for free earlier.However, neither Apple nor Starbucks have confirmed whether the Pick of the Week scheme will include free apps and music both or they will be offering apps instead of songs. the two companies share a long standing relationship with each other since 2007. Apple’s iTunes store has a special Starbucks section which can be accessed by users when they connect to Wi-Fi in a Starbucks outlet.
AT&T reduces price of iPhone 3GS to just $9, what are the implications?
By Tyler Lee – 07/20/2011 03:31 PDT
Have you been meaning to get your hands on the iPhone but due to its price you decided against it? Well earlier this year, for those who remember, AT&T dropped the price of the iPhone 3GS to $49 for a 2-year contract, and if you thought that paying $49 for a one and a half year old device was just ridiculous, perhaps their latest price drop to just $9 for a 2-year contract might change your mind.
Unfortunately for you, the $9 offering will be a refurbished device, which means it is a device that has been used within the 30 day trial period and returned, where it is then given a factory reset and goes through testing before being sold. So if owning a somewhat used iPhone 3GS does not bother you, then perhaps you might like to consider taking AT&T up on their offer.
For those wondering what this further reduction in price could imply, it seems that during Apple’s quarterly conference call, Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer mentioned something about a “future product transition that we will not talk about today”. This was in response to why Apple was projecting $25 billion in revenue in Q3 which was a 12% drop from their reported $28.57 billion in revenue during Q2. Some are speculating that this is because the next-generation iPhone is due to make an appearance sometime during then, and because of that, sales of the iPhone 4 are expected to start slowing down.
Perhaps those rumors of a September launch of the next-generation iPhone may not be so far fetched after all.

Best apps for tracking Hurricane Irene
If you’re in the path of Hurricane Irene and you haven’t gone through the App Store already looking for the best sources of info on the storm, there are others who have done it for you. Information Week, Appolicious, and MSNBC’s Technolog have all made lists of apps for various flavors of smartphones.
Virtually all the lists of apps include the free Weather Channel App for iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, and Blackberry*. the application description doesn’t clearly state if the free app (there’s a paid version) has push notification for weather alerts, but the $3.99 Weather Channel Max app does include them.
aside from TWC’s contributions, there’s also the paid Hurricane for iPhone or Hurricane HD for iPad which shows up in multiple lists of suggested apps. You may want to try searching for an app for a TV station in your area; a lot of them have notifications for breaking news or weather alerts which you can set up.
CNN has a few apps listed alongside Twitter feeds to watch and things like a multipurpose radio which includes weather band information, a flashlight, a USB port for charging, and a hand crank to make the whole thing go.
Google has set up a crisis response map with a wide variety of layers including power outages, shelters, forecasts and loads more.
here are some basic tips for maximizing battery life on your smartphone/tablet/laptop/e-reader in case of power outages: Turn the screen brightness down as low as you can, turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and if you can run multiple apps at once, quit anything extraneous. that way you’ll get the most out of your battery before you have to hook it to that Axis radio and work the hand crank till your arm gives out.
If you do need this list of apps because you’re in Irene’s path, all of us at TUAW (who aren’t battening down our own hatches) are thinking of you and wishing you well.
*Irene doesn’t care what smartphone you use.

Best cell phones for shutterbugs
Digital cameras are now so ubiquitous in cell phones that’s its became rather hard to find a handset without one. indeed, the feature has come a long way since cameras entered the cell phone world, first as detachable accessories and then as integrated features. The VGA resolution was long the norm–and it still exists at the low end of the market–but that changed with the introduction of handsets like Sprint’s Audiovox PM8920, which was the first 1.3-megapixel camera phone in the United States. And from that point, the technology only got better.
The problem, however, is that the more camera phones there are, the harder it is choose the best models. U.S. carriers now offer handsets with 8-megapixel resolution, a ton of features, and even high-end lenses and sensors that you’d find on a regular camera. Photo quality also can vary quite widely, which makes the buying process even more difficult. CNET, however, is here to help. not only can you compare photo quality for yourself in our camera phone photo gallery, but also we’ve selected what we think are the five best camera phones right now. Granted, there are unlocked handsets with more photo prowess, but we’ve stuck with handsets that we’ve reviewed.
The Evo 3D has two camera lenses.

iPhone 4TheiPhone’s 5-megapixel camera is good enough by itself, but when you combine it with the huge selection of photography apps available in the iTunes App Store, you wind up with a powerful shooter that offers decent quality for both still shots and video. You can get it with AT&T or Verizon Wireless.
HTC Sensation 4GA CNET Editors’ Choice Award winner, T-Mobile’s Sensation 4G wowed Bonnie Cha on all fronts, including the camera. The 8-megapixel shooter delivers great image quality under most conditions and you’re offered a large selection of features, including autofocus, a dual LED flash, and a variety of editing options and effects.
HTC Evo 3DForget the 3D photos, for the regular 2D photos are all we need. The quality was excellent, we appreciate the broad selection of features, and it has 720p video playback.
Though not perfect, the MyTouch 4G Slide's camera offers a lot to like.

Samsung Galaxy S IIAnother CNET Editors’ Choice winner, the 8-megapixel Galaxy S II is easy to use, offers a broad selection of editing controls, and delivers great photo quality, both indoors and outside. Reviewer Jessica Dolcourt even was pleased with shots taken with the front-facing camera.
T-Mobile MyTouch 4G SlideBefore it went on sale, T-Mobile billed the MyTouch 4G Slide as the most advanced camera phone to date. Jessica didn’t quite agree, though she was impressed nonetheless. The 8-megapixel camera rivals a standalone camera in features, and the quality was very nice. You can see a comparison between the MyTouch 4G Slide and other top phones here.

HTC seeks to block Apple imports
WASHINGTON—HTC Corp., Asia’s second-biggest maker of smartphones, filed a patent-related complaint at the US International Trade Commission (ITC) that seeks to block imports of Apple inc.’s iPhone, iPad and Mac computers.
The complaint filed on Tuesday in Washington claims Apple is infringing three patents related to wireless technology and follows a case lodged last year at the ITC that made similar claims. Taiwan-based HTC also sued Apple this week in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, over the three patents.
“Apple needs to stop its infringement of our patented inventions in its products,” HTC general counsel Grace Lei said in a statement. “We are taking this action against Apple to protect our intellectual property, our industry partners, and most important our customers that use HTC phones.”
The two companies are part of a larger battle among smartphone makers looking to fight copycats and thwart competition in a market that’s projected to reach $206.6 billion this year by researcher IHS inc. Apple, the world’s biggest smartphone maker, has filed patent cases against handset makers using Google inc.’s Android operating system, including Samsung Electronics co., Motorola Mobility Holdings inc. and HTC.
“Competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours,” Kristin Huguet, a spokesman for Cupertino, California-based Apple, said in response to the HTC lawsuit.
In Germany the ban on a Samsung tablet computer across Europe was lifted after the German court that granted Apple an injunction last week scaled back the ruling to within national borders.
The iPad maker isn’t allowed to enforce its August 9 injunction outside of Germany against the South Korea-based company, the Dusseldorf Regional Court decided on Tuesday. but the ban on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany stands, court spokesman Peter Schuetz said in an interview.
“The judges decided to limit the enforceability for now because there are doubts whether a German court has so a wide a jurisdiction over a company based in Korea,” Schuetz said.
Earlier this week, Google moved to protect itself from lawsuits related to Android with a $12.5-billion agreement to buy Motorola Mobility. The acquisition would give Google at least 17,000 more patents.
HTC also has used acquisitions to bolster its position, agreeing in July to buy S3 Graphics co. after an ITC judge found that Apple’s Mac OS X computer system violated two S3 patents.
HTC, which said in its latest complaint that it generated about $5 billion in US sales last year, claims Apple infringes a patent for portable devices that integrate features of a personal digital assistant and two patents related to networking to better combine telephones and video services.
The company targets the iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac computers, Apple TV and the AirPort and Time Capsule wireless-network equipment.
The ITC is a quasijudicial agency that arbitrates trade disputes and has the power to block imports of products found to violate US patents. The agency typically takes 15 to 18 months to complete reviews, and HTC’s lawsuit in Delaware would likely be put on hold if the commission investigates the complaint.
A judge with the ITC is scheduled to release his findings in the earlier HTC case against Apple in September.
Last month a different trade judge found that HTC infringed two Apple patents. If that decision is upheld, it could lead to an import ban on certain HTC phones. Apple filed a separate complaint this month targeting HTC’s phones and new Flyer tablet computers.
Meanwhile, Samsung welcomes the German court’s decision and is “fully committed” to providing mobile devices to the market without disruption, the company said in an e-mailed statement.
Tuesday’s decision, however, is temporary, as is the August 9 injunction. The court has scheduled a hearing for August 25 in the case, after which it may change either ruling.
The Dusseldorf Regional Court will likely issue a ruling within three weeks of the hearing, according to spokesman Schuetz. either party can appeal the decision.
The hearing comes days after Samsung agreed not to introduce the US version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia. Samsung’s product infringes 10 Apple patents, including the “look and feel” of the iPad, Steven Burley, a lawyer for Apple, told a Federal Court in Sydney on August 1.
A European sales ban for the Tab 10.1 would be a blow to Samsung’s target of boosting its annual tablet sales more than fivefold this year. The company, which doesn’t disclose shipment figures, probably sold about 1.6 million Galaxy Tabs in 2010, according to an estimate by NH Investment & Securities co. in March.

Lady AppApp, The Sassy Side of iPhone Apps
Ah America, the land of the entrepreneurial, where a snuggie and a dream can equal billion dollar empire of slobiness. Unfortunately, not all of these dreams are good, or even adequate. Some of them are just terrible.
The iOS environment seems to pull in bad ideas like a damn gravitational pull. People have mistakenly been lured into thinking anything made for an iPhone is going to result in mountains of cash, but in practice, the business plan equation looks like this:
Step 1: idea for an app that lets your cat use emojisStep 2: ?Step 3: Profit
Actually, on second thought, cat targeted apps are doing pretty well right now, maybe I’ll actually use this idea. anyhow, Kickstarter is the place where bad dreams go to be born. If you can get enough people to believe in your product, it becomes real, sort of a pinnochio story. so, let’s look at the best and the worst of Kickstarter for iPhone, starting with the awesome and ending in the awful.
Kickstars: The best of Kickstarter for iPhone
1. Dot 360 VideoIt still boggles my mind the leaps and bounds that iPhoneography has made. It boggles my mind that iPhoneography is actually a word. but the advances being made in this area are rad, and this is one of the raddest I’ve seen in a long time. 360 degree video – it’s not just a device but it’s an app and you can spin your way for a real view of the scene. I’m curious about how this exports and how you can fully use the technology but for the time being…awesomeness.
2. iPhone HolsterDorks aren’t tough but we sure like to pretend we are…sure we’re a computer programmer by day, but by night we’re a Level 10 Orc. RESPECT. this is a simple product, but it is one that speaks to the tough guy in any geek. It could only be improved by also coming with Gun’s Sounds .
3. The iBottle OpenerWhen iPhone first came out there were two apps we used to impress our friends. The first was Shazam, which allowed us to exhibit the tiny musical elves that lived inside our phones, and the second was iBeer . this product takes it to the next level – instead of drinking and pouring fake beers we can start using real ones.
Sickstarter: The worst of Kickstarter for iPhone
1. The Dry Erase iPhone CoverAt first reaction, I actually put this on my awesome list. Dorks and white boards go together like peanut butter and jelly. but then I started digging a little deeper. A) no one, not even the leanest, IPO-dreaming serial startup veteran needs a whiteboard so bad that they’ll need to use a 4 inch one on their phone back. B) The iPhone has fucking drawing apps that do it better. C) your brilliant idea is going to be smudged and erased faster than you can say “brainstorm.” D) this is much more than a shoddy piece of sticky material on the phone back and how it could possibly need $1000 boggles my mind.
2. Man Chair iPhone AppApple has made itself a walled garden, safe from porno and drugs, but it’s still a safe haven for the incredibly sexist – this douchenozzle is ready to join the ranks. Seriously, this app sounds like some 80s comedian’s terrible sketch about how his wife never fucks him, he has to listen to her talk about her soaps, and she drags him to the Macy’s. It wasn’t funny then, it’s not funny now, but this app sucks in more ways than one. The use case alone is just ridiculous – the amount of time men are even going to be spending on these dreaded trips is minimal and do you think these men would really rather chat with other random dudes versus playing some angry Birds? I’m sure creator Len Kendall will indeed need $10,000, but it’s more likely help fund his future divorce than his ill conceived app.
3. The Real Weather GirlsApp ideas are like assholes, everyone has got one and most of them stink. To be fair, most of the app store’s big wins are ones I never could have predicted, in fact I still can’t understand Zombie Farm, but I can pretty safely predict that the overhead costs and sheer dumbness of this app seal its fate. People create apps for a lot of different reason, but one of the saddest reasons I frequently see is middle aged men who are cashed up and think it’s a ticket to cool. I wonder just a little bit if that’s what this is..if Steve Dworman didn’t wonder if this would be a good way to get close to some hot young aspirational starlets. Weather reports and women have gone hand in hand for a long time, the hot weather girl is not a new phenomenon. but throwing in reality TV is like inviting a hunchback for a menage a trois with weather and sexy chicks. what is this monster?
