An Australian trademarks tribunal has rejected Apple's bid to stop a small company, manufacturing laptop bags and cases for Apple products, called DOPi from trademarking its name since Apple believed DOPi is way too similar to iPOD, Apple's popular portable music player.
Apple has always been known for its over-zealous legal team plunging on any individual or company it sees as infringing on its copyright and trademarks (who turn blind eye when Apple itself crosses the line with trademarked names like iPhone and iPad).
Apple argued that punters might be confused into thinking that they were buying an Apple product because of the letter 'i' in DOPi, but the tribunal said, Apple overlooked the fact that there were already a large number of products that have the "i" prefix, for example iSkin and iSoft to name just two,...
There will surely be times when you really like a video on YouTube and like to save it on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Apple by default do not provide that feature, neither do they allow any app which can do that for you. Jailbreaking an iPhone or iPod Touch has its own advantages and increases the potential and possibilities of the device much beyond what Apple intends. The YourTube app lets you download Youtube videos directly from the native YouTube client, but then it is not Free.
Well, now there is a free alternative for YourTube, called WatchMob which is available in Cydia under BigBoss and Planet iPhones repositories. This free application gets added to you springboard and allows you to search YouTube for videos and download them.
The application lets you search for the videos and even lists all the previously downloaded videos neatly and allows them to be played back. Videos downloaded with WatchMob will not show up under your device’s native library, and can only be played through the application itself.

The rumors about Apple releasing iPhone 4G has been making rounds for more than a year now and the latest one to join the fray is a set of pictures released on Spazio Cellulare which is an Italian forum for gadgets.
The 'supposedly leaked' pictures of iPhone 4G seems to have been taken in some dodgy warehouse to make it look realistic! It is interesting to note that the box carries the name "iPhone 4G" on it. I wonder if Steve Jobs would decide upon a name as straight-forward as that!
There are no specs accompanying the so called 'leaked' pictures of iPhone 4G.
Anyway, I am not complaining. All you creative souls, keep trying and keep coming out with more such amazing designs and colors for the next iPhone release.
