Section: Business News, Apple  Steve Wozniak was recently interviewed by Reuters and out of that came some interesting little tidbits. For example, Wozniak stated that he could “consider” returning to a more active role with Apple, should he be asked. And for those wondering about the ‘more active role’ comment, as it turns out, despite having left working for Apple in 1987, Wozniak is still on the Apple payroll. And as to the reasoning of why he would consider a return, he stated that “there’s just an awful lot I know about Apple products and competing products that has some relevance.” Otherwise, he also went on to note that Apple currently has “unbelievable” products and that they could “be more open and not lose sales.” With that, hit the link below and check out the complete interview…

 Section: Communications, Smartphones, Mobile The INQ Cloud Touch launched in the UK earlier this week and now it looks like the handset may be heading to the US. Well, heading based on a recently discovered FCC filing anyway. In other words, there has not been a US carrier announcement just yet. That said, the Cloud Touch listing with the FCC showed off a handset sporting a model number of T2-218U along with support for the 850 and 1900 bands, which would mean AT&T. But again, nothing has come from AT&T just yet. Otherwise, the Cloud Touch is an Android 2.2 running Facebook phone. Other features include a 3.5 inch touchscreen display, 800MHz processor, 512MB internal storage, microSD card slot, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack and a 5 megapixel camera on back.

 Section: Business News, Communications, Smartphones, Computers, Software / Applications Microsoft could seem to get the first Windows Phone 7 updates to function properly in the beginning. Even before the first major update, Microsoft was having trouble getting a minor update to play nice with Samsung phones. Fed up with all the waiting and uncertainty, some people had turned to third-parties to supply Windows Phone 7 updates. Microsoft advised against doing this and now we know why. Phones that installed unauthorized updates may never receive another update again. Chris Walsh is a .NET developer who released a tool to expedite the updating process ahead of official releases in the form of an executable file named ChevronWP7.Updater. Everything seemed to be fine until Walsh was contacted by Microsoft who informed him that his tool will leave phones in a “non-serviceable state.” Walsh emboldened “will” in his post. There’s doesn’t appear to be any doubt that this updating tool will essentially break the phone on the inside. Walsh explained on his blog what Microsoft believed to be the root of the problem. “Part of the problem, the company says, is that I incorrectly used an undocumented API to deliver updates,” Walsh wrote. Walsh apologized to anyone who have, or may experience issues with their phones after using his tool.

 Section: Communications, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile AT&T may still be selling the Motorola Atrix for $199.99, but that does not mean you have to buy it from them. Those looking to knock some off of that purchase price should head on over to Amazon because for this weekend only they are selling the Atrix 4G for $49.99. Of course, that price comes along with a two-year agreement. But you likely assumed that fact anyway.Otherwise, the Atrix 4G is running Android 2.2 Froyo and features goodies such as a 4 inch qHD display, dual-core 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB Internal storage and microSD card slot as well as a VGA camera on the front and a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash on the back. But remember, this deal from Amazon is only available this weekend. Via [Amazon Wireless] Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 Section: Business News, Video, Content, Video Providers, Web, Online Music/Video, Google Sites such as Ustream and Justin.TV have built a reputation on live broadcasts. YouTube on the other hand triumphed as a site that hosted pre-recorded videos. YouTube Live will address live videos for the first time in the site’s history. YouTube has dabbled in live broadcasting in the past, but now the site has started rolling out YouTube Live to certain partners. As the months go on, thousands of accounts will be granted access to YouTube Live. When you visit YouTube Live, you’ll see an assortment of videos that are being streamed in real-time, live events that were previously recorded and upcoming live broadcasts. Events that you don’t want to forget about can be added to a calendar. You’ll then be notified when that event starts on your YouTube homepage. Live comments are also a part of each broadcast. The programs that aired on April 8, 2011 varied from a live safari to a tutorial on how to get started in Minecraft. The difference between YouTube Live and sites such as uStream is that uStream can be used by anyone. At this time, YouTube Live isn’t activated on everyone’s account. This is probably done to ensure YouTube Live has semi-professional to professional live content to start things off. This is just another step before YouTube reveals its upcoming revamp which will put an emphasis on live content.
