Pinchmedia has once again released interesting statistics, this time it comes to Piratierie in the AppStore. Any application that has integrated Pinchmedia sends user data to the server Pinchmedia, including whether the application is cracked or not. It Pinchmedia has now created some statistics. Their statistics indicate the number of all gejailbreakten devices, but this is about 4 million.

1.5 million of these devices at least once a cracked application used, these are all 38%. Based on their data can also be seen in the jailbreak ratio of certain countries, it is China, with ~ 37% solitary peak, in the end, Japan is with ~ 3%. The United States is at ~ 5%, and Germany, with almost 10% in the midfield. Logically, the rate is cracked apps with the gross domestic product (GDP together), the higher it is, the less cracked apps are in use.

On their graphics can be read off a marked curve, so cracked for countries with a GDP of just over 0 whole 30% of the installed apps, with a GDP of $ 80,000, it had reached "only" at ~ 8%. About 60% of the apps that use Pinchmedia were cracked and made available for download on file sharing, this is the case is about one-third of all illegal installations. If an application once cracked, is increasing its distribution, shall then, within 2-3 weeks from the seventh to this percentage to stay for an update.

Also confirmed these statistics to some extent the excuse of "Just testing times". So turn cracked Apps users less often returned to an application than those which they have legally purchased. After 27 weeks, so only about 1% of the pirates in an application, but still about 13% of legitimate users. Even legitimate users to use their programs, on average, more often and longer. Most recently, she still prove that users have "liberated" devices, a 0.5 percentage points higher crash rate. At the end of the test "only once" excuse then still ruled: 7.4% of users of a Lite version does buy the full version, but only 0.43% of a cracked application to dare step on legal alternative.

Until now, let all navigation applications, such as those used by Navigon or TomTom, only with the iPhone because the iPod Touch does not have a GPS receiver. Also, the external GPS receiver from TomTom - currently not available in stores - is compatible according to description only with the iPhone. Now will the "Dual Electronics Corporation" equip the iPod Touch with GPS.

The company has developed a shell for the iPod Touch with GPS, a little extra battery and speakers for TurnByTurn navigation. In addition, a car mount and a power cable for the cigarette lighter in your car will be included.

The package "GPS Navigation Cradle & Battery Case" will appear in November at a yet unknown price.

Some people have as one of the gossip that is frightening. As an American (ex-) iPhone owner, who makes short work of his 3GS. He seems to have a hatred for Apple anyway to have as Apple, however, the Google App voice had declined by ticking the guy completely. With a 9mm he killed his iPhone.
Even the AppleCare Protection Plan could not do anything more. Two shot, then it finally succumbed to the heat of the fire ...
RIP dear iPhone ...

When I told him that the iPod Touch 3rd generation is to come out until the beginning of September, the salesperson did not know what to say. He just said that this is probably in question was a misprint. And then it was also unfortunately ...
