Voicefeed seeks to improve voice mail

NullVoicefeed is a free mobile application that aims to improve voice mail.

It like the only way to improve the voice mail to eliminate you. But an app named "on Voicefeed," which you can customize messages for different caller makes voice jail a bit more palatable.

If you download Voicefeed, which is available free for the iPhone, all your contacts in the app appear. Their contacts can then be sorted into groups. They show first in the "all others" category, which means that they get a generic message, you can record. You can also give you and let a robot voice speak your message for you.

Then you can create your own categories, such as "Family" create "work," "Softball Team" and so on. You can record a different message for each.

But one of the nice features of Voicefeed is that when you record a voice message can not, can you give one for the robo voice to read incoming callers. So could hold your phone under the table at a meeting and give a message to your spouse, "my boss jerk expanded the meeting, are at home in about 7: 15." That is, what your spouse - and only your spouse - hear when calling.

There are also a function, which borders on creepy, called "Voicetags." If you use a typed message, the robo-voice busy, you can enter & FIRSTNAME handled in your message to caller requested the point and that is the message to confirm it - based on the name "Hi Bob." It can be a little so that some callers they greet a robot have be worrying.

Installation can be a problem, especially when you sync run some programs. MobileMe is known, that on the iPhone will cause a conflict. There is also a limit to the number of contacts, the Voicefeed treated. The company said that ideally, it should be less than 2,000, and that most users have less than 200.

Finally, if you use Voicefeed on multiple devices, it can errors, especially if you mix iPhones and androids are. An app for Android called ON address book will try to merge your lists. Of course, if you want to merge your contacts, it is not an error. It is a property.

New phone cases show your photos

If you want to set one of your own photos to a protective skin for your phone, the exact scientific term, a Bazillion company record is use.

Occasionally embeds your photo in the plastic parts of his case so it will scratch away not.

But if, say, you is a hard case with your photo the plastic, which is the case on the sides (not on and then laminated), then the field wraps narrowed.

I have found two. Rare cases, that is for the iPhone, and case-mate, the other phones also houses.

The cases share some attributes. For each, please go to their Web site, you choose your case, then go to a customizing screen lets you configure the cases.

Each can you upload an image - they need, to large - about 2,000 from at least 2000 pixels. You can then rotate the size and adjust the photo in the event the way you fit the desired.

Both companies say that they embed the color and design in the plastic itself, so scratch it off can not. The unusual specimen, which I had made from a photo illustration, which I was created bright, colorful and detailed.

There are two models of occasionally, the deflector $35 and $40-capsule. The big difference is the iPhone film in the case of the capsule, which then end cap, for the collection of must be removed. The deflector is called "Snap on, snap off" design announced. More like snap on urgent struggle to pry from. You must not have to worry about, your case turning off the phone pop, if you delete it.

Easy to use, partly because there are some models of cases to treat was unusual. However, the case-mate website, is a swamp. This is not a Refection on the cases themselves, only the difficulties when ordering from them.

There are two sites on the Web site, where you can design your case, and various models of customizable cases for each phone. These phones are some blackberries, a Samsung, as well as the iPhone and iPod touch. The differences between the cases were not clear to me. And it was difficult to determine which cases for the phones can be bought, because the Web site you options not displayed, that are temporarily unavailable. It's hard to know if a case for your phone is not, or if it is only temporarily out of stock. The company said it the site works to unify and easy.

AT & T stores are winding up their remaining stock of the original iPad 1 cases for only $5. All models of iPad cases are for sale, including Griffin, Speck and OtterBox. As long as supplies last.

Apple in discussions with nuance of speech recognition for iOS 5?

According to TechCrunch Apple is manufacturer of the widely popular Dragon Dictation voice recognition software in discussions with nuance.

Apple negotiated a deal with nuance in the last few months, we have heard from multiple sources. What does that mean? Now, it could an acquisition mean, but that is pretty unlikely at this time we hear. What is more likely, this a partnership means that crucial for both companies and could shape the future of the iOS.

Apple moved trouble renegotiation of nuance license branch which artificial intelligence app, SIRI, who at first but later technology on vlingo to the nuance, but Apple had reportedly previously. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak on the way of a flurry of rumors end last year, when he casual (and probably accidentally) said, that Apple nuance had already bought. (He said SIRI probably).

A buyout would be expensive for Apple, but a license would help them remain competitive in the area of device - nuance co-founder Mike Cohen allegedly helped speech recognition for Google and Android is now far beyond Apple in this area.

And the truth is that nuance Apple also needs. Not only threatened by Google, but nuance technology is simply not very meaningful without apps that use it such as Siri. And many of these apps appear where conjecture: iOS.

It is rumored for a while that Apple will incorporate SIRI in iOS 5 on the main level, and to make them only nuance that happen to. Whether this an expensive marriage or an expansive partnership means - or even nothing - remains to be seen.

Fortune is within Apple

Fortune's Adam Lashinsky is how to run the world secretly and successful computer consumer electronics company, by Steve jobs on the Concierge in Apple to the detail. And it is a "doozy" of an article. Over the course of some 22 pages we learn:

Steve Jobs was not amused with the disastrous MobileMe, the team pull together in the Town Hall of Apple and questions: "someone can say what you want to do MobileMe?" "So, why the [frak] do not do it?" (iTunes head Eddy cue of a new, smaller team and hired to fix you.)We hear how to run a start again as Apple, despite its monolithic size.Jobs tried his process of Apple, without him running a DayEvery Monday, jobs and his team prepare review the "whole business" to institutionalize, and you can enable the entire enterprise on a dime if they have.Accountability is enforced. Each project has a "directly responsible individual," according to jobs, the difference between janitor and VP is that the Concierge reasons not always something to do. "Somewhere to stop means between the janitor and CEO, reasons."It is a top 100 clique - whose members can change over the course of time-, that jobs is to be almost annual retreats and the executive team visions parts for Apple future. Apple believes in small groups. iPad Safari was ported by only two engineers.Managers are specialists. Ron Johnson is running retail but Tim Cook controls inventory.

And much more. If you are interested in Apple, you get the 23 May 2011 issue of fortune. You can grab the app from the app store [iTunes link], if you not there already, and if you are a print subscriber you can the problem free of charge. If not, it is $4.99.

Amazon Cloud players now less hostile iPhone, iPad

Yesterday, one of our readers, Aaron wrote in us Amazon Cloud say player was suddenly plays - if not beautiful as iPad with less hostility - on his. There us only, I could not check it out at me, but I asked him what other than the previous, play-one-song-at-a-time-via-QuickTime "Support"

He said it was; It played in its Safari browser, not start QuickTime, worked his music controls, and it would continue to play in the background. He was later embedded also friendly enough to us the video.

Why less hostile rather than beautiful? Still you need the warning about you not, the to ignore and enforce. Hopefully this means that Amazon is working, however, and it will eventually, if not soon be a seamless experience for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

When you use iOS cloud players, let you know us what think the experience now. Well, well have enough, even better?

iPad 2 sold out in less than four hours in China, attracting large crowds

The introduction of the Wi-Fi only iPad 2 in China on Friday morning collected again massive interest outside your Apple stores. The queues were huge outside the Apple Beijing store, although many of the waiting clients were adopted, that Scalper flagship. The queues are on Thursday evening at 5 against clock now.

Speculators are a great frustration for many people, because they buy as much material as possible about to sell at a profit. Some stock which is in other countries while the rest outside the store sold calls, it was purchased. Customers buy if from the street to avoid that must wait in the lines. Beijing Apple store had even a sign outside scalper prohibits, in the district to sell.

TiPb picks of the week

Every week a few of us from team TiPb will bring you our current favorite, most fun and useful App Store apps, WebApps, jailbreak apps, even the occasional accessory, web site, or desktop app if the mood strikes us. As long as they’re iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch related, they’re fair game.

To see what we picked, and to tell us your pick, follow on after the break!

Ramp Champ has just gone free. Here’s what I said about when I picked it back in October of 2009:

Ramp Champ is co-developed by Iconfactory, so you know it’s pixel perfect. A skee-ball type casual, fun, time passer it’s perfect for the iPhone. Thanks to in-app purchase you can buy more ramps when — make that if — you get through the 4 for so that come with the app. I say if because, while the first challenge is easy, the second is hard, and I think I’ll need an Ambrose Chase-style description field to get through the third. And did I mention it’s gorgeous as well?

Yet another reason I’m going to have to figure out a way to slip the Icon Factory $10 at WWDC.

[Free - iTunes link]

Still on my scanner kick, this week I fell for Shop Savvy, another really clever app that’s also available in the Android Marketplace. Find something you like in a store, and scan the barcode. In a matter of seconds, Shop Savvy will tell you where else you can find it locally, as well as where you can find it online, and the relative cost.

You can almost always count on the item being available for less on Amazon. (It just stands to reason.) But on occasion you’ll find that your local shop has whatever it is at a low enough cost that once you add in shipping, you may as well buy it locally.

Tonight I was in our local Pet Supplies Plus, looking at a crinkle bag for my feline children. It was $27. A quick click with Shop Savvy showed me that on Amazon it was only $18, while at Allegro Pet shop it was a whopping $28! However, not only did it not list any other local stores carrying the totally awesome Kitty Crinkle Sack, it didn’t list Pet Supplies Plus. Shop Savvy does give you the option of adding the store and the item though.

In addition to being able to add stores, you can add the items if they are not already in Shop Savvy’s huge database of consumables, and photos. And of course, you can always look the item up old school, and just type in the name of the product.

There is also a premium version for $1.99. I’m almost tempted to buy it just to see if there are any more options for purchasing the amazing Kitty Crinkle Sack!

Order & Chaos Online is so much fun. I am a recovering World of Warcraft addict having played for 4 years. I haven’t played in a year and I thought I was over my addiction. But then came Order & Chaos Online and I fell off the wagon. It’s everything people love about WoW only it’s on iOS. It’s not exactly like WoW but it’s so close. I like to think of it as a Pocket WoW. The most jarring difference, to me, is Humans and Elves can talk to and play with the Undead and Orcs. That feels unnatural to me.

I mainly play on my iPad 2 and it plays beautifully. It’s even awesome on the iPhone 4. I wasn’t sure if it would be since the screen is so much smaller. To my surprise I had no problems. I do prefer playing on my iPad though. You just can’t beat the extra screen real estate.

There a few bugs like some quests are messed up. But for a 1.0 release they are easily overlooked. The real question I have is will Gameloft continue to update this game? MMORPGs need fresh content. Overall I’m thrilled with this game. I can’t wait to see what the future will bring. Will this push Blizzard into making an official version of WoW for iOS? Sound off in the comments.

Warning: I highly recommend this game but if you value your time and/or your family STAY AWAY!!! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

[$6.99, with subscription and in-app purchases - iTunes link]

Yes, I decided to take the plunge and get an iPad 2 even though I said I wouldn’t!. I managed to grab one on Tuesday this week so it is still early days but so far the upgrade is well worth the money. Went a bit cheap and got the 16GB WiFi model; it’s all I really need as I can tether to my iPhone 4 for data.

The speed increase has been the most impressive part for me, everything works that much faster. Web pages loads without seeing the checker board patterns and apps load in a flash. It is a double win for me. The wife has inherited my original iPad so she’s happy too! So far, really loving my iPad 2!

EmpireAvenue is a unique social stock market, based on friends and other online personalities.

By integrating your Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other supported social sites, you create yourself as a stock. Your activity on the connected sites, affects your share price.

MyEmpire is a great iPhone app, that allows you to monitor your stocks and shares, as well as buy and sell stock on the go. There are leaderboards built in to the app, so you can see who is best to buy or sell.

The app’s UI is quite basic on iOS, however the functionality in the app makes up for it.

[$0.99 - iTunes link]

xkcd is “a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language” that is targeted towards a special kind of geek. Most comics are related to computer science, physics, or mathematics. I love xkcd and love it even more on my iPhone. The app is very basic but sends out a push notification when a new comic is available. If you’re a fan of xkdc, get this app.

[Free - iTunes link]

Barrel is a sweet little tweak from Cydia that lets you customize the way the animation looks when you swipe between home pages. On a pure iPhone, the icons just slide over. With Barrel, they can rotate like a 3D cube, or they can slide up or down, scroll or fade, stair-step or squeeze, scatter or carousel, collect or get flippy with it. Or my favorites, curl and roll away or zoom.

It adds just that little extra touch of flare to your iPhone, makes you smile when you change screens, and is a great demo to show people who might be interested in the kind of customization Jailbreak allows.

[$2.99 - Cydia]

Notesy is the best of the rest in a crowded field of Dropbox-synchronizing text editors. Making use of the phenomenally stable and fast Dropbox API, Notesy is able to quickly and reliably sync notes from my Mac to my iPhone and iPod touch.

Since the notes are saved in the universal .txt file format, the notes aren’t locked into any proprietary program; you can view them anywhere you have an internet connection with the online Dropbox web client.

My personal system includes syncing notes from Notational Velocity back and forth to Notesy between two iPods, an iPhone, and an iPad using Dropbox as the behind-the-scenes system; it works great, with no problems to report upon.

Notesy includes timed auto-saving (every two minutes if the file is being edited), an extremely smart, minimalist design, and is super slick; lag isn’t an issue with Notesy, even whenever the library of notes approaches a ridiculous size and number.

[$2.99 - iTunes link]

You’re part of the team as well, so we will be choosing one reader to make a submission each week! Just look for the announcement on [twitter](http://www.twitter.com/llofte] or our Facebook page each weekend for a chance to be picked! In the meantime, jump into the comments and let us know your pick of the week!

Jailbreak iPhone Problems That You Must Know before Planning a Jailbreak

Jailbreaking iPhone is one of the most attractive activities for quite a lot of iPhone users because it allows you to use your iPhone on any GSM network, you can have cool apps for jailbroken iPhones, your phone comparatively works faster and so on, but always remember that there are some drawbacks of jailbreaking too. Here is the list of problems that can occur to your jailbroken iPhones anytime, so keep them in mind before deciding to get your iDevice jailbroken or if you already did it you may think of reversing the process.

1-      With a jailbroken iPhone you may experience “bricking.” Bricking makes your phone unusable and requires a complete restore to make it functional again. Well, it’s not a big deal, you can get it a quick fix, but it does serve as a deterrent.

2-      Although it is legal to jailbreak iPhone, it voids your phone’s warranty and without a valid warranty, Apple will not cover any damages or other malfunctions related to your phone.

3-      So if you have the tendency to break Apple products or have buggy experiences with your device, you might want to reconsider.

4-      Jailbreaking allows you to enjoy extended use of 3G which will certainly drain out the bandwidth, and you will be charged for it from service provider.

5-       iOS and jailbreak methods get constant updates and so you may find many apps buggy. But it is not a big deal as solutions for these bugs are also being updated constantly.

6-      According to MacRumors, the jailbreaking process allows hackers to remotely plant malware onto a user’s device. So can be a big security concern.

Do rethink before jailbreaking your iPhone, if any of the above is your concern. Else, enjoy the jailbroken iPhone and reverse the process whenever you want!

Removing Applications from iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch Safely

Availability of so many free apps are one big attraction for most of iPhone users, but the space limit comes on the way at times and then you think of removing some apps from your iPhone. In fact removing apps is the better way since, many of apps remain useless after sometime. If you have been looking for the best way to delete excessive applications or games from your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad find the simplest steps below:

1-      Turn your iDevice on and navigate to the “Home” screen where all icons of the applications can be seen on the screen.

2-      Identify a single application that you want to delete.

3-      Touch and hold the application you want to delete.

4-      You will notice a small X on the upper left corner. Tap it!

5-      A popo up will appear with two options, i.e. “Delete” and “Cancel”.

6-      Tap “Delete” and you are done with removing one application from your iDevice.

There will be another menu. Now tap the application you want to move and drag it to this menu.Posted in How TOs.

Location Information Market & User Movements Tracking by iDevices & Android

If your iPhone has been stolen, you should be careful after this research which claims that iPhones and iPads have a secret file that stores information about all the locations which the user visited. The recent research by British security researchers further claims that this information can be archived anytime. Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, the researchers say that this position-logging feature is contained in iOS 4, the operating system for the iPhone and iPad, released in June.

Interesting thing is that Apple’s 15,000-word terms and conditions contains a clause which warns users that company may collect and share location data, though without identifying individual customers. But even then the US lawmakers want explanation from Apple on this.

On the other hand, Wall Street journal reports that Google’s Android smartphones regularly transmit their locations back to Google, but there’s been no reaction from lawmakers on this.

Security concerns are valid on consumer side, but the most important thing is grabbing market share which Apple and Google both are doing at their best. According to Gartner Inc., the location-information market is expected to rise to $8.3 billion in 2014 which is currently $2.9 billion. The location tracking feature in the smartphones is the backbone for this market and for sure neither Apple, nor Google will drop it!

iPhone Insurance in UK FAQs; Questions You Must Ask an Agent

If you are a UK resident and want to get your iPhone insured, you must have too many questions in mind before choosing a plan. Below are some of most frequently asked questions regarding iPhone insurance in UK which will clear the general ambiguities and you must keep all these in mind while signing up for an iPhone insurance plan in UK.

Q1- What does an iPhone insurance plan cover?

Generally iPhone insurance plans in UK include theft, water and accidental damages, extended warranty (in specific cases), international and fraudulent call cover. Do check with the company if they include all these or not. In case any of these are missing, you must not opt for the plan.

Q2- How do I know if I qualify for iPhone insurance in UK?

In order to get an iPhone insurance plan in UK at first you must be a UK resident. Secondly, you must have a valid proof of purchase, i.e. receipt or invoice that you got at the time of purchase. If a company is offering you insurance plan without asking for such details, beware, it might be a scam!

Q3- What if my iPhone got damaged while being abroad?

Do ask this question to an agent. In most of the cases, companies should allow 3 months international traveling coverage within 12 months. If they do not allow it, it’s not a good package!

Q4- What should I get in replacement?

It should be a like-for-like product, i.e. same or as near as possible at the time of replacement. Make sure this before signing up!

Q5- How reliable is the insurance company?

Since, iPhone insurance is a relatively new concept; you must check the company background. Do ask them for their registration and other details. Also verify manually whether they have a good record or not!

iPhone 5 Features & Specs at a Glance

Almost every smartphone holder wants to know that what’s so special in iPhone 5. When there is no official word about such a high demand product, there is hype and that is the case with iPhone 5. Anyway below are some highly demanded yet most expected specs of iPhone that we have gathered from different sources:

1-      64 GB Storage: Apple has been offering 16 GB and 32GB iPhone since 2009, and with such a big number of subscribers and flooding App store, Apple knows that people need more space, so the iPhone 5 will be coming with 32 GB and 64 GB hopefully.

2-      Better Signal Strength: This will be a bug fixed in iPhone 4, and so the iPhone 5 will be offering the strongest signal strength as compared to any other iPhone model.

3-      Face Recognition: The most innovative technology brought to iPhone will be Face Recognition. So the security gets enhanced!

4-       Slim: All previous iPhone models had thinner bodies than the previous model so the iPhone 5 is expected to be the thinnest among all other iPhone family members.

iPhone 5 Release Date Predicted by Ming Chi Kuo

Current iPhone users as well as those looking to buy iPhone for the first time are keenly waiting to see iPhone 5 and so are waiting for exact release date to be announced. Well, there is no official news about iPhone 5 release date from Apple yet, but predictions by experts and analysts. According to recent updates iPhone 5 is likely to be unveiled in Apple’s Worldwide Developers’ Conference in June 2011. According to a recent report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of Concord Securities, Apple will unveil the device in WWDC this year, and will start production in August approximately. If this schedule remains consistent, we can hope to see the iPhone 5 ready to be used in September 2011.

In January Kuo correctly predicted about iPad 2 with 1024-by-768-pixel display, and so, we can consider his prediction for iPhone 5. Kuo also identified that Apple has to reach between 28 million and 32 million units shipped this year. One thing is little confusing here, i.e. if Apple is the launch iPhone 5 in September, why would it unveil a device three months earlier even when nothing has been started for such mass production.

Are you also one of those waiting for iPhone 5? If yes, let us know what you predict, when will iPhone 5 reach the market?

To troubleshoot issues with location Apple software updates data collect

Screenshot of Apple iTunes

Apple on Wednesday released to fix his promised software update for your mobile devices, a problem that the iPhone and iPad enabled 3 g customers to collect sites.

In the last month said the company why the devices put together site information, say, that it is not its customers. In an update on the company's website and in interviews with reporters, Steven p. jobs, Apple's CEO, said the location data has been used, to apps that require location information - such as cards - work better.

The update is available through Apple iTunes.

When customers turn on the update, see explain a screen, they the "update includes changes to the iOS crowd source location database cache."

The company said the update location, storage, would reduce that had previously stored location data for up to one year.

The update stops also store site data in iTunes, if a device on a computer are backed up, and is completely to delete the data from customers phones and tablets if they turn off location services.

White iPhone versus White iPhone

Nick Bilton/the New York Times at first glance, who first time white sees iPhone, on the left side, not too different as the newly released model.

The white iPhone is so hard for almost a year as a double Rainbow. Sure, we knew they existed, but only a few people had seen. This popular device is now available in stores. But their existence only provoked more questions.

Like, took what as long as Apple? The company, which usually products with the perfection of a diver has stopped production of white iPhone still before it hit shelves.

Several news outlets reported production problems with the device and that Steven jobs, Apple's Chief Executive, was dissatisfied with the colouring, which contain a slight hint of yellow P.. Rumors circulating, that a light leak with the camera Flash and apparently there was a problem with the phone proximity switch.

Apple said in turn only production problems.

Rex Sorgatz, founder of the kinda sorta media, one of the first time bought white iPhones for $1,000 by a "Guy who had connections in the factory, which the phone in China made." I met with Mr Sorgatz, to compare the differences between the original White iPhone and the model for in-store kiosks.

As you can see from the image below, there were white clearly a discoloration on the first run iPhone that appears between the home button and shell of the phone.

Nick Bilton/the New York times the original white iPhone discoloration shows yellowing.

The new model has a deeper proximity sensor in the vicinity of the ear pieces.

The camera setup on the white iPhone also clear differences. Although it is difficult to see in the image below, early production models had a recessed camera lens, which was almost flush with the edge phone. In the newly released model of the phone, the camera is easy.

Nick Bilton/the New York times the placement and depth of the first white iPhone differs from the model available today.

A tool to the crop of iPhone location data

openpaths.CC map uploaded to Openpaths.cc allows A sample users, share views based on time of day.

A lot people have annoyed over Apple collect site data of iPads and iPhones. The company granted only an update to the device software part down plug the reaction.

But this data regularly so as it is on Apple could be useful people.

Developers in the New York Times Company research and development laboratory published a Web based tool on Thursday that they hope to corral the coordinates that Apple had collected and make available to customers and researchers.

The times company's research lab gets the project OpenPaths.cc, and describe it as a tool to "securely store, explore and donations iOS your location data."

Asked who will take part in the project location information from their phone, upload, which is anonymous or added to a database with the data from any other upload, then made. People can then browse their own location data on an interactive map. At a later date are the researchers able to request access to the collection of location uploads.

Michael Zimbalist, company Vice President and head of the research lab (where I work), said his team decided, the tool created to help people capture again to get the data that they have created and it in the hands of researchers.

"If our personal information to us in a useful form be accessible, all sorts of things possible," as Mr. Zimbalist in an E-mail interview. "But we active employees in the search can be more importantly, solutions to important problems in the fields of public health, genetics, and urban planning."

"Data is the exhaust gas product of daily life are", he said. "Nor is much of the data that we generate us not be accessed."

Europe at the forefront of digital privacy rights

Brussels - pressure grows Europe where the new rules are designed for technology companies like Apple and Google to adjust as their phones and seems to gather equipment data.

Last year Google generated a storm of controversy in Germany than to recognize it, that it information from unsecured wireless networks at compile time which street view mapping service recordings had.

Then said last week, regulators in France, Germany and Italy they would consider whether Apple's injured iPhone and iPad privacy by tracking the location of the user rules.

Also reports emerged last month that information by TomTom, a manufacturer of popular satellite navigation devices, when you set up speed traps have obtained the Dutch police, and concerns by users and an apology from TomTom.

The company all said there was nothing of their activities, sinister Apple said, a software update that it spend would limit the time given coordinates to seven days. None of the information that said companies, is particularly sensitive from the point of view of privacy, and they say it helps them to deliver better services in many cases.

Address concerns regarding privacy, Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Justice, said in a speech on Tuesday that it will propose extend EU rules on infringements of privacy online banking, video games, shopping, and social media.

The rules require phone companies and Internet service provider inform customers any privacy violation "without undue delay."

"European citizens care deeply protect your privacy and your privacy rights," Mrs Reding said in a separate statement.

"Every company in the EU market or any online product, that line should primarily to EU consumers meet EU rules."

Mrs Reding made their remarks, shortly after Sony excused himself for a data identity theft, 77 million account holders of the PlayStation Network, and a week after Apple said that it would change the software that logged the location of the users of iPhone and iPad tablet computer.

"Seven days is too late," Mrs Reding said Tuesday, referring to how long it took to inform Sony account holders.

In Apple, she said that they understand how the discovery that the iPhone location had gathered data eroded "public confidence".

Abraham L. Newman, Assistant Professor at the Georgetown University and a specialist in issues of European privacy, said that Europe's spotlight on privacy could companies such as Apple and Google policies allow, which she treats way worldwide, to reorganize with European standards in their business strategy.

Alternatively, he said that could companies develop measures to ensure that limit changes data, "isolated enough rules in Europe", but in the rest of the world.

"Apple a political dynamic in Europe is the input that is similar to Google's experience," said Mr Newman. "Authorities in Europe have decided that consumers better not you be deceived in a world of unlimited location data in the company know literally every step."

What is different in particular Europe, is the strong role of the so-called national data protection authorities in keeping tabs on issues of privacy, he said.

In the United States there is no single agency privacy dedicated, and while the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission can deal with violations of privacy, these agencies are primarily on business practices, enforce fair focused.

But Mrs Reding said the differences between Europe and the United States should not overshadow a privacy Bill of rights passed sign of convergence such as the work of the Obama administration and Congress, the companies collect or hold personal information without the consent of the Internet user a-sharing could.

"Was until recently a common believe that the EU and United States different approaches to privacy and it is difficult, work together," said Mrs Reding.

"This can be argued more easily expressed."
