You're the Pundit: iPhone 5 US Carriers

Other sites have rumors. We have the TUAW braintrust. We put the question to you and let you have your go at it. Today's topic is the iPhone 5 and its carriers.

As Autumn rolls around and the iPhone 5 gets ready to launch, what carriers do you expect to see joining Verizon and AT&T with official Apple support? By "official", we're not talking about putting a T-Mobile SIM into an unlocked Apple GSM iPhone. We're talking about announcement and roll-out in integration with the company.

Zoho Docs 2.0 adds iPad support

Zoho has offered an iOS app for a while now -- at least for the iPhone and iPod touch. Those of you who have been wanting to use the Zoho app on your iPad were out of luck, but that's no longer the case.

Zoho Docs 2.0 has landed in the App Store, and the most notable change is that it's now a universal app. Now you're able to take advantage of the app's mobile productivity powers on your larger iOS device. Retina display support has also been added, as have document sharing options -- which you can utilize in both the viewer and collaboration modes.

Just like the basic Zoho service, the app is available totally free of charge. Paid subscriptions get you additional storage space and start at $3 per month for professional use.

Sony Ericsson announces Xperia arc S at IFA, coming in October

Sony took to the stage at IFA 2011 to unveil its latest handset, the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S. It appears to be a refresh of the original that was launched earlier this year. The super-slim device just got a few bumps in features, including a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 processor and an 8.1 megapixel camera with an Exmor R sensor that includes a "3D sweep panorama" mode, which offers the ability to take 2D (read: not stereoscopic) images and convert them into 3D. The new device will offer a similar 4.2-inch Reality Display that we've seen in the original Arc, and will be available in five colors globally this October. Click on past the break for the company's official presser.

Swedish Teenager Turned Over To Police By School Headmaster For File Sharing Acquitted By Court

Last week, there was a lot of attention to criminal charges brought against a 15-year-old kid in Sweden, after his school's headmaster turned him over to the police after discovering some downloaded films and file sharing software on his computer. It did seem absurd to charge him with a crime, rather than civil infringement, but that's what happened, and the prosecutor in the case seemed almost gleeful about the possibility of convicting the boy of a crime. Except... it took just a few days for the court to acquit the boy. The ruling involved a head judge and three "lay judges." From my understanding of the Swedish judicial system, "lay judges" are somewhat (though not exactly) akin to a jury in the US (Swedes feel free to chime in and clarify). There was apparently a split among the lay judges, with two voting against conviction and one being in favor. The split resulted in acquittal. The prosecutor, rather than recognizing the sheer absurdity of the case, instead insists that it's "absurd" the kid was acquitted, and now vows to appeal. Because there's nothing more important than convicting someone of a crime for sharing a couple movies. Honestly, if Swedish prosecutors wanted to draw more support for the Swedish Pirate Party, I don't think they could have picked a better strategy.

Elgato EyeTV Mobile streams live TV to iPads

Elgato, makers of the EyeTV line of accessories, has announced EyeTV Mobile for the iPad 2. Consisting of a dock connector dongle with a built-in TV antenna, the accessory will allow iPad 2 owners to watch live TV anywhere via a forthcoming EyeTV Mobile app on the App Store.

The accessory and app replicate a great deal of the functionality of the EyeTV lineup for the Mac, including the ability to pause/rewind/record live TV and receive certain kinds of radio transmissions. The best part is this setup will not consume any mobile data whatsoever; the TV signals come in directly through the antenna accessory, so you don't even need to be connected to the internet to watch live TV on your iPad 2.

There are some caveats to the EyeTV Mobile rig. First is the price: €99.95 / ?99.95 (US price unavailable) may be a bit steep for many people's wallets. According to the product's tech specs, it only supports standard definition channels, and its lack of support for Freeview HD suggests it will be of limited utility where I live. The product is also only compatible with the iPad 2; owners of the iPhone, iPod touch, and original iPad are out of luck.

That having been said, if you've been looking for a no-fuss way to watch TV on your iPad that doesn't involve hooking up a bunch of different devices and streaming over Wi-Fi or 3G, EyeTV Mobile might work for you if your terrestrial TV channels broadcast a compatible signal. There's no word on a release date yet (Engadget says late September), but when it's released we'll see if we can get hold of a review unit.

Motorola Pro+ announced with Gingerbread, few other improvements

As it turns out, Plus is becoming the new Moto sequel. Soon after announcing the Defy+, a phone that offers a moderate bump in specs from its predecessor, HelloMoto is back at it again with the Pro+. This obvious follow-up to the Motorola Pro (or Droid Pro, as it's known in the US) doesn't bring much of an improvement to the table. It's adorned with the same 1GHz CPU, 3.1-inch VGA (640 x 480) display, 512MB of RAM and five megapixel camera; the largest differences in the new model are the inclusion of Android 2.3, 4GB of internal storage, an improved battery (1,600mAh) and a rounded design -- in contrast to the original's squared look. It's due in Asia and Europe starting in October, so keep an eye out... if that "Plus" is enough to excite you. Head below for the full press release.

Windows 8 to feature adaptive Aero colorization, get it now on Windows 7

While we've still yet to see anything truly Earth-shattering, the tandem of Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott continues to churn out insight about interesting new features they've discovered in Windows 8 milestone 3. The latest discovery is that Aero in Windows 8 will be able to automatically adapt itself to match your current wallpaper image. It's a bit like what Windows 7 already does with your taskbar icons: if a program alert needs your attention, the icon will glow using the predominant color (e.g. Firefox should glow orange).

And yes, you can already make Windows 7 behave this way if you like. Over at CodePlex, there's a little program called Aura that parks itself in your system tray and automatically adjusts your window borders to compliment your wallpaper images. The effect is quite nice, and you can try it out by minimizing your windows and cycling through your theme's wallpapers (right click on your desktop and choose next desktop background).

Attending to Digital Etiquette

Emily Post might have advised us to keep informal IM language out of e-mail and avoid watching Twitter feeds when colleagues are speaking.

If You Cite Compete Or Alexa For Anything Besides Making Fun Of Them, You?re A Moron

Earlier today, I was checking out some new questions in the TechCrunch topic area on Quora. One in particular caught my eye: How was TechCrunch traffic affected by their major redesign in July 2011? This has been something I've seen asked here and there given the radical changes we implemented ? and, I assume, given the audience issues Gawker faced after their recent redesign. Mostly, people seem to want to know: is TechCrunch tanking? I was set to weigh in, when I noticed that someone else already had. This person (not affiliated with TechCrunch) painted a picture in which our site was essentially crashing and burning since the�redesign (the answer has since been removed by Quora, presumably due to down-voting). Their source? Compete.

Feature: "For the swarm!" Inside the world of professional StarCraft players

In the early 1990s, a favorite place to escape my troubles was the arcade in the Student Union Building at the University of British Columbia. Every lunch hour and every afternoon, when I should have been studying, I would head inside and lose myself in the darkness, the flickering colors, and the sounds.

Sometimes I would throw away a few quarters and play a game or two, but most of the time I would lurk in the shadows, watching people with more disposable quarters than I had work through their own frustrations against an unfeeling computer opponent. I wasn't the only one. When someone was playing an amazing game, a small crowd would form silently around him, mentally cheering him on as he reached hitherto-unknown levels of skill and achievement.

I was thinking back to those long-vanished days recently as I stepped on the plane to Anaheim, California. My destination was the Major League Gaming (MLG) Pro Circuit, brainchild of Sundance DiGiovanni. MLG started its life in 2002 featuring primarily console games, but experienced unexpectedly large growth with the release of Blizzard's StarCraft II in 2010 (read our review). After arriving in Anaheim, I experienced this growth myself as I found my way to the end of a gigantic line stretching all the way to the end of the Anaheim Convention Center and into the adjacent parking lot. Passing tourists with their Mickey Mouse ears would sometimes turn and stare at us, and I could see them thinking: who were these people and what exactly were they lining up for?

BitTorrent users don't "act in concert," so judge slashes mass P2P case

Steele Hansmeier, the antipiracy law firm that has been routinely hammered by judges in Illinois, is now getting hammered by judges in California. The firm has tried desperately to head off all the common objections to its mass file-sharing lawsuits over online porn, and has even taken to geolocating IP addresses before filing a lawsuit; its Hard Drive Productions case in California only went after 188 IP addresses that appeared to be located in the state. But the firm still had its entire case severed down to a single defendant last week.

Geolocation tools may help convince skeptical judges that a lawsuit is more than a national fishing expedition, one mainly targeting people outside a court's personal jurisdiction. (Judges in other jurisdictions have expressed annoyance such tools weren't first used to winnow the list of IP addresses.) But P2P lawsuits have other problems, including the fact that they generally "join" people who have little in common except for a taste in digital porn (in this case "Amateur Allure - Erin"). And increasingly savvy judges are now parsing claims about BitTorrent with a scholar's eye to see if these defendants really should be linked.

Apple gets injunction: Galaxy Tab 10.1 launch delayed again in Australia

The Galaxy Tab 10.1's Australian launch has been pushed back again due to litigation from Apple, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Samsung had originally intended to launch the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia on August 11, but just a week before the launch Apple succeeded in getting a injunction against sales of the device. Apple said the device infringed on multiple iPad patents.

After the first injunction, Samsung said the Tab would go on sale by the end of August after the company modifies it to address complaints from Apple. Now however, it looks like the Tab won't go on sale in Australia until at least September 30th.

The reason for this second delay is because Samsung showed a modified Tab to Apple to address Apple's complaints, but Apple was still not satisfied with the modified version saying that while the device "had reduced functionality" it "will still infringe" on Apple's patents.

Apple has until the end of the week to cite exactly which patents the modified Tab still infringes on and until September 5th to issue a more comprehensive statement of the facts. Samsung then has until September 16 to answers Apple's new claims. A formal hearing then begins on September 26th, which according to the Sydney Morning Herald, could see "top executives and inventors from both Apple and Samsung" appearing in person or over video conference to explain their patents.
