Sony Has Hired Apple Cofounder Steve Wozniak

Sony has hired Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak to advise on its upcoming film based on the book Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacsson. Woz will be there to consult on Jobs and on technical aspects of computers. Sony has already hired Aaron Sorkin to write the film and he was also responsible for the recent film based on Facebook, "The Social Network" as well as television's "The West Wing".

Unfortunately this project does not seem that straight forward for Sorkin.
"I know so little about what I am going to write. I know what I am not going to write. It can't be a straight ahead biography because it's very difficult to shake the cradle-to-grave structure of a biography, " Sorkin told reporters at a news conference for his upcoming HBO drama "The Newsroom." Sorkin noted that "The Social Network" saw the Facebook story through the lens of an acrimonious lawsuit that pitted CEO Mark Zuckerberg against his Harvard friends over the creation of the social media network. "Drama is tension versus obstacle. Someone wants something, something is standing in their way of getting it. They want the money, they want the girl, they want to get to Philadelphia - doesn't matter... And I need to find that event and I will. I just don't know what it is," Sorkin said.

Sorkin is set to focus his full attention on the Steve Jobs film later this month; once the finishing touches are applied to the launch of his new HBO show, "The Newsroom". Sony still doesn't have anyone cast for the leading roles in the film so we would expect to start to hear much more very soon.

Facebook App Center Curates Apps For iPhone And Android Users Yesterday

Yesterday, Facebook announced the launch of its new curated App Center that'll let Facebook users find iOS or Android apps quickly and easily. The App Center will give users personalized recommendations and let them see apps their friends use. You can see a brief screencast of the App Center here.

Given that app discovery is one of the biggest sticking points for new iOS device owners, and that Facebook owns a huge share of Internet users' online time and attention, this new marquee for apps might turn out to be another major promotional venue for app developers.

Facebook users with an iOS or Android device can browse a catalog of mobile apps compatible with their phone or tablet, once the App Center rolls out into Facebook's mobile version.

The desktop version of the App Center also has a new "Send to Mobile" feature that'll install apps on a user's mobile device (via the appropriate App Store or Google Play link). Apps featured at launch will include Draw Something, Pinterest, Nike+ GPS, and games such as Jetpack Joyride, Ghosts of Mistwood, and Ghost Recon Commander.

The App Center is rolling out in the US now and will launch with more than 600 social apps.

Apple Is Expected To Announce Their Next-generation Smartphone

Apple promised a lot of new features for all iOS devices thanks to iOS 6, however, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 owners are being left out in the cold when it comes to the new Apple-developed Maps software. Pocket-Lint noticed some fine print foolery at the bottom of Apple's Maps page. It reads: "Flyover and turn-by-turn navigation will be available only on the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 or later."

There is more bad news for iPhone 3GS owners. The device will not be receiving VIP List, Flagged Smart mailboxes, FaceTime and Offline reading.

The Next iPhone Is Assumed To Debut In The Fall Of This Year

A series of pictures have surfaced that claim to show parts of the next iPhone in both black and white colors (iPhone 5, iPhone 6, call it what you want). The most notable images are of the rear shell of the alleged next-gen iPhone, where the Apple logo and "iPhone" tag are printed, and show what looks like an all new aluminum unibody construction. The device also appears to have sufficient room to accommodate the larger 4 display that has been heavily rumored.

The images were obtained and published by 9to5mac apparently from supply chain sources, though the machine cut lines shown inside the shell could indicate these are prototype pieces and may not precisely resemble the final shipping device.

Other notable features shown in the photos are a smaller power adapter port at the bottom of the device, redesigned speaker grills, and the headphone jack appears to have been moved to the bottom of the device.

The redesigned enclosure and 4 screen fit nicely within our recent list of likely rumors about iPhone 5, other expected features include 4G LTE support, a faster processor with more RAM, iOS 6, and a better camera.

The next iPhone is assumed to debut in the fall of this year, sometime in the September or October timeframe.
