Apple job posting suggests big fitness push for Apple iWatch

Apple job posting suggests big fitness push for Apple iWatch

Just the other day, we told you that Apple had hired a sleep expert. Most likely, this hiring is related to some sort of sleep feature for the Apple iWatch. Now, a new job posting from Apple shows that the tech titan is looking for a "User Studies Exercise Physiologist" to join the Cupertino crew. The job description calls for a person with a "Good understanding of physiological monitoring equipment, measurement techniques and interpretation of results." Those seeking the job must help with the "design of products and their testing/validation through user studies."

An exercise physiologist, according to the Explore Health Careers website, "oversees the analysis, improvement, and maintenance of health and fitness; rehabilitation of heart disease and other chronic diseases and disabilities; and the professional guidance and counsel of athletes and others interested in sports training."

Besides offering exercise related features for the Apple iWatch, iOS 8 is expected to include an app called "Healthbook," to monitor things like the number of steps a user takes a day, or the amount of calories burned. There is also speculation that the app will have the capability to monitor the heart rate, blood pressure and even the glucose level of users. The iWatch might be the tool used by Apple to monitor users and capture the data.

Apple has since taken down the posting, which is usually a good sign that speculation about it has hit too close to home. Or perhaps Apple has filled the position.

Angry Birds Space coming to Windows Phone after all

Angry Birds Space coming to Windows Phone after all

At first Rovio’s CMO said that Angry Birds Space will not be coming to Windows Phone. Not long after that (presumably after Microsoft made some calls), Rovio’s CEO said that a Windows Phone version of Angry Birds Space is in the works.

Now Nokia has officially confirmed at CTIA that Rovio will be releasing Angry Birds Space for Windows Phone. Nokia will be partnering with Rovio to get the game on their Lumia phones (which just might get the game before other Window Phone customers) and to bring future Rovio titles to Windows Phone as soon as possible.

Speaking on the matter, Rovio’s CEO Mikael Hed said,

“Nokia is one of our longest-standing partners, and Windows Phone and Lumia are of strategic importance to Rovio. We are very committed to bring our games to Lumia devices, and are looking forward to delighting our fans on the Windows Phone platform.”

Unfortunately, no dates have been given as to when exactly the game will arrive. Although it is good news that they will finally be launching the game on Windows Phone, it is still sad that it will be arriving probably after the rest of the world has finished playing it several times over. And that includes the BlackBerry PlayBook customers.

Acer officially announces Iconia Tab A110

Acer officially announces Iconia Tab A110

Acer has finally announced the 7-inch Iconia Tab A110 that we have seen multiple times in the past. There is not much new here that we don’t already know about. It has a 7-inch, 1024 x 600 resolution display, NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor and Android 4.1, Jelly Bean.

The display resolution seems like a letdown compared to the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD but the Iconia Tab A110 does come with a microSD card slot as well as micro HDMI out that the other two lack.

Unfortunately, Acer still hasn’t revealed the price and availability but it is expected to be below $200 and release in the next few weeks.

Another RIM player comes by, say hi to the BlackBerry Torch 9810

The QWERTY slider BlackBerry Torch 9810 is our guest of honor today, that’s the third BlackBerry in a week! Just like its siblings – the Bold 9900 and Torch 9860, this Torch 9810 is running on the latest BlackBerry OS 7.

It’s a hybrid between the Bold 9900 and Torch 9860, combining both the hardware QWERTY keyboard and the big WVGA touchscreen.

It is also based on the new hardware platform with a 1.2GHz processor, new graphics and 768MB RAM.
