TechCrunch is reporting that Apple has started sending developers invitations to take a satisfaction survey with regards to the App Store in general, and the App Store approval process in specific. Apple asks you to answer with: “Very dissatisfied,” “Somewhat dissatisfied,” “Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied,” “Somewhat satisfied,” “Very satisfied,” or “Don’t know.” They also ask, “What one thing could Apple do to make the iPhone Developer Program better?” and give you a text box to write anything you want.

Filed under: Software , iPhone , App Store If the iPhone has a leading app genre, aside from gaming, I’d say the current surge of “check-in” apps is probably it. Sure, back when the App Store first opened up, Twitter apps were everywhere (and they’re still being made daily, it seems), but in terms of a genre that can only exist on a location-aware device like the iPhone, “check-in” apps like Foursquare, Gowalla, and so on, are making their mark right now.

Filed under: Hardware , Rumors , iPhone iResQ, the iPhone / iPod repair site, has posted pics of what they claim is the front faceplate of the next-gen iPhone. Two things about this piece of hardware are particularly interesting. First, the part is approximately 1/4 of an inch taller than the iPhone 3GS, indicative of a slightly taller form factor for the next-gen iPhone.
Filed under: Hardware , iTunes , Apple , iPhone , SDK , Jailbreak/pwnage Jailbreakers ahoy! Yesterday brought the release of the Dev Team’s pwnage tool for jailbreaking and unlocking iPhones equipped with the new 3.1.3 firmware . As usual, though, there are a few catches: first, if you don’t need to update to 3.1.3, the dev team says you shouldn’t bother anyway — it doesn’t do much that the old versions of the firmware doesn’t, so if you don’t need to upgrade, just leave your jailbreak as is.

Filed under: Hardware , Retail Looks like they might. That’s the opinion of a note out last night from Credit Suisse quoting meetings with Apple executives. The Wall Street Journal this morning quotes Senior Analyst Bill Shope as saying “While it remains to be seen how much traction the iPad gets initially, management noted that it will remain nimble (pricing could change if the company is not attracting as many customers as anticipated).” This is a similar situation to the original iPhone launch in 2007, where the original price quickly dropped US $200 from the original $599 retail.
