MriOSDevices Reason To Think Why Job’s Wanted His Own “Apple Sim Carrier”

As the title suggests, there are always things we will never know about a person. There are snippets of someones life that always emerge after their death, especially someone so high profile and private like Steve Job’s.

The first fact that might surprise you is that Job’s wanted to make the iPad first, his idea was to bring a device to do everything apart from call people, at the time Job’s was working on iPod’s and came to the initial conclusion that a portable tablet would be the next step to expand the iPod market.

This leads me on to the next thing Job’s kept quiet to millions, he also wanted to create an “Apple Carrier” maybe he thought about this when the iPad was fresh in his mind – How would the iPad connect to the internet when the iPad wasn’t a phone that had 3G after all?

Do you think Apple would still venture into this market, It’s a very profitable market where Apple has a great position to explore, what would the other Carriers think about this?

Apple Seem To Be Addressing FAKE Jailbreak Apps

Over the past few days, Twitter users have been reporting FAKE Jailbreak apps on the AppStore, the developers of these apps hide what the actual apps do by adding a sentence in the information section between paragraphs upon paragraphs of legit jailbreak information. @musclenerd just tweeted that one of the apps has been removed fortunately.

MriOSDevices reminds everyone to be careful as theses apps are prices around the £6.99 – $9.99 price mark – All jailbreaks that are made are FREE and from a select few devs based at the iPhone Dev Team & Chonic Dev Team - they will only ask for a donation to support their work

If you come across an apparent “Jailbreak” app on the AppStore we can guarantee that it will not jailbreak or help you jailbreak your device. Apple has always been against this

Got A 1st Gen Nano – Here’s How To Get It Replaced New, For FREE

Apple has in the past few hours opened up a worldwide replacement program for the 1st generation iPod Nano. The reason for this is because they have identified a battery issue specifically in that generation, the root of the issue comes from the manufacture of the battery.

We are hoping that due to the demand for the iPods, Apple will replace the model for a more current generation. What do you think they will do?

So MriOSDevices has just purchased 3 iPod Nanos from a popular selling site for the cheap price of £17.00. There are still a couple of bargains there however they are very few & far between.

Above is an image of how to identify if your iPod is the correct generation, they specify on the Apple Website that the front will either be black or white plastic, and the back to be metal. click here for more info.

Steve Jobs Annual Salary Isn’t What People Expected!

Back on the 5th October 2011, 1 of technology’s biggest icons died. This was a very sad day around the world and MriOSDevices were extremely sad when the news broke out.

You’d think Mr Jobs would have got a huge salary, but no he only $1 a year with no bonuses or pay rise.

Although he had $1.4 billion in Apple’s stock and $4.4 billion in Disney stock. Disney stockholders get 35 cents for every share annually so Steve got $48 million a year.

There is a biography of Steve Jobs from Walter Isaacson which is suppose to be the best-selling book this year after only being released on 25th october 2011.

Steve Jobs will be extremely missed and MriOSDevices’ thoughts are with him and his family.
