Daniel Amitay, developer of the security software Big Brother for the iPhone 4 or iPod Touch (fourth generation), has found his app removed from the App Store after publishing an article on his blog demonstrating that users often pick easy-to-guess passcodes for the app, drawn from information sent to the developer by the app itself. Apple was concerned that the developer was harvesting in-app passcodes without user knowledge, though Amitay maintains that the data is anonymized....

Other World Computing has launched a new upgrade SSD, the Mercury Electra 6G. The drive is SandForce-based, and designed for SATA 3.0 ports running up to 6Gbps. This allows sustained read rates of 556MBps, or slightly slower writes at 523MBps. Both speeds are said to be up to seven times faster than stock PC hard drives....

A Deutsche Bank analyst, Kai Korschelt, has devised a more precise estimate of how much a new patent deal with Nokia may cost Apple. Korschelt's numbers assume a 1 percent royalty on all iPhones sold through the first quarter, which is in excess of 110 million units; they also assume an average selling price of $550. With that considered, Apple's initial lump-sum payment could be worth €420 million, or about $608 million US.... Source: http://feeds.macnn.com/click.phdo?i=416573d347a579ed2feb8911f3b467b5

The wait is over and the Adonit Writer first-generation iPad keyboard case is now available. You can order one for US$99.99 right now from Amazon or from Adonit directly. Hurry though, the Writer will only be available at that price until July 10 -- after that Adonit will raise it to the full price of $109.99.
Still waiting for the iPad 2 version? It's coming along nicely. Adonit is nearing production on it and hope to ship it to Kickstarter backers early next month. It will be available after they finish fulfilling the Kickstarter orders.
If you read my recent review of the keyboard case for the iPad you know that I was overwhelmingly positive about the Writer. Having now spent a couple of weeks with it, I adore it even more than I did when I wrote the review. It goes everywhere my iPad goes and it frees me from having to bring along a laptop whenever I might need to write anything substantial. I also appreciate the flexibility to be able to comfortably type while sitting without a desk or a table. Your millage might vary depending on how you like to sit.

Android and iOS were largely static versus April at 53 percent and 27 percent, but the BlackBerry and Windows Phone platforms both increased in May. A rise in BlackBerry Curve use put RIM up one point to 17 percent of ad traffic, and Microsoft surged an unusual 92 percent....
