New iPhone to Launch in China: Not 4G

As we know Apple has been trying to get its iPhone back in China for some tome now, recent reports suggest that Apple is working on a new model for China Unicom – but not the 4G. We are not certain what will change with the re-designed version, but it will have to include Chinese standard Wi-Fi capabilities.

ITProPortal reports that Apple tried to gain the lucrative Chinese market with its iPhone smartphone back in October – things did not go well. The problem was with the fake version of the iPhone – it had more to offer than the genuine model.

Apple and Unicom were then asked by the Chinese government not to support Wi-Fi – instead offer WAPI, the Chinese standard. The Wall Street Journal reports that both parties have come up with something new and will be able to offer it to the Chinese market once again.

We do not have any information as to what the changes will be, but Apple will need to lower the price of the handset to compete with that fake model.

Google Apps Marketplace: Full details and developer costs

Google has just announced and unveiled the Google Apps Marketplace. It will launch with around 50 applications from the start, bringing advantages to both users – who now have an individual marketplace to find useful Apps all in one place and developers – who can make money by developing these apps and selling them to users.

As reported from Zdnet, the process of developing applications for Google Apps Marketplace will cost developers $100 to sign up to the program. This will give devs access to the tools to make the applications, which you can then sell on to other businesses.

For the customer, apps are likely to be available for $50 to several hundred dollars annually per user. But its also worthwhile to point out, that most of these apps could end up being free, ad-supported apps.

What are your thoughts on the new Marketplace from Google?

GDC 2010: SOCOM 4 will make ‘full use’ of Playstation Move

Well heres some great news direct out of Sony’s press conference at GDC 2010. The company has just shown off the recently announced SOCOM 4, being played entirely with motion controls.

As most of you will be aware, Zipper Interactive will be handling the game, so what better way for one of their team to demonstrate how Playstation Move will interact with the game.

If you choose to play SOCOM 4 using motion controls, you will be required to use the Playstation Move, along with a secondary ’sub controller’. One will serve as your movement, while you use the second device to perform actions within the game.

I watched the video demo live at the event and it does look pretty impressive, but whether you will want to play an FPS using two motion controllers remains to be seen. However, the dev from Zipper seemed to be pretty comfortable when using it to play the game, so it shouldn’t require too much of a learning curve.

Hopefully we’ll have the video up soon. Let us know your thoughts on this.
