To cap off a week chock-full of Apple-related rumors, we now have this: is Apple about to acquire a company in the process of giving its iOS notifications system a major makeover?

Apple blog Cult of Mac says it’s hearing exactly that from a source, who is not named. The company Apple is allegedly buying isn’t confirmed in the report, but is said to be “small” and currently has an application available for sale in the iOS App Store.

The Verizon iPhone went on sale Thursday, though heavy advance orders and frigid weather held down the lines at Verizon and Apple stores.

In the Kansas City area, Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Hill said that demand was steady throughout the day and that iPhone sales accounted for most of the business at Verizon stores. Hill said it appeared that supplies of the phone wouldn’t run out.

AT&T, in anticipation of the Verizon iPhone coming on February 10th, has quietly begun giving iPhone owners a chance to move back to unlimited data plans, the plan they unceremoniously dumped in June.

Apple’s App Store hit the 10 billion mark Saturday, a little more than 2-1/2 years after it started the app craze for mobile devices, beginning with its iPhone.

The store went online in July 2008, as part of the iTunes Store, and paved the way for others, such as Google’s Android, Research In Motion’s BlackBerry, HP’s Palm and Microsoft’s Windows mobile platforms to start their own app stores. None have come close to Apple’s success, with more than 300,000 apps. or programs in the App Store. Second to it is the Android Market, which has more than 130,000 apps available.

“With more than 10 billion apps downloaded in just two and a half years — a staggering 7 billion apps in the last year alone — the App Store has surpassed our wildest dreams,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, in a statement.

So Verizon has announced the long-awaited iPhone for its network. Short of the first iPhone release in 2007, I can’t remember such hysteria over a single handset. Does this phone have the potential to cause disruption to all other carriers in the U.S. market now that iPhone is offered by the one with the greatest geographic coverage and the most subscribers? The iPhone hardware, with its slight redesign and new mobile hotspot feature, is nice.

The impact of a Verizon iPhone on the U.S. mobile market isn’t nearly as profound as it would have been a year or two ago. The most interesting question is how it will affect Android. Without an iPhone to offer, Verizon turned in 2009 to Google Android handsets, starting with the popular Motorola Droid. Droid was followed again and again by top-notch Android phones and Verizon spent millions in advertising dollars to make the Droid brand synonymous with Google Android. The carrier isn’t likely to let its investment fade away. At the same time, in anticipation of losing iPhone exclusivity, AT&T has been beefing up its handset portfolio with new Android devices. One of the most impressive ones at CES—the Motorola Atrix 4G—is an AT&T exclusive.

Horace Dediu’s Asymco blog took a unique approach to the Android vs. iPhone battle, basing his analysis on the ratio of Android phones to iOS phones on AT&T. Dediu pointed out that:

• As of November, the ratio of iOS to Android users was more than 15 to 1 at AT&T.

• iOS at AT&T has twice the number of users as does Android at Verizon

• Although T-Mobile had the Android franchise to itself for all of 2009, it was overtaken by Verizon within four months

These valid points need perspective. It’s not surprising that iOS users outnumber those with Android on AT&T, considering that the iPhone has been with AT&T for 3 1/2 years. In contrast, the first comparable Android handset available to AT&T customers, in my opinion, was the Samsung Captivate, which arrived only five months ago. As for Dediu’s second point: AT&T has offered the iPhone for twice as long as Verizon has offered Android devices, which helps explain why the number of iOS users at AT&T is double Verizon’s Android users.
And Those New Android LTE handsets?

In that light, Android is holding its own, growing faster than iOS handsets and even surpassing them earlier this year.Verizon customers are surely going to evaluate the iPhone against the company’s Android offerings. Those who have waited for an iPhone will surely get one. But four new, very high-end LTE handsets with dual-core processors and 1080p playback running Android are coming soon to Verizon’s network, which should help propel Android handset sales. Will there be a decrease in overall Android activations? Here I agree with Dediu, who expects Android sales at Verizon to flatline, at least in the short term. I also expect AT&T to put marketing muscle behind the exclusive Atrix 4G and additional Android phones to help differentiate its lineup from Verizon’s.

Provides: FileMaker Go lets you run full FileMaker databases on your iPhone or iPad
Requirements: iPhone with iOS 4 or greater. FileMaker Pro 7 or later.
Retail Price: iPhone – $19.99, iPad – $39.99

FileMaker Go lets you take your FileMaker database (relational or flat) with you wherever you go. That’s a big thing. FileMaker Go, either for the iPad or the iPhone, lets you access your database either from a server (via the web) or via copying your database directly onto your device. The only complete limitation is that you cannot perform any database development and/or alteration from FileMaker Go. FileMaker Go is a FileMaker database “player.” It lets you work with just about any pre-made database. You’re limited by the design and/or scripting of the database because of limitations on the size of the screen and certain iOS limitations. Admittedly, not all databases are the kinds of things you need with you at any time. But if you ever have needed to look up something and you were not near your computer, now you can find the information with the usual few clicks.
