Hot Industry News: Will Apple be the ONLY One to Make the New iPhone 5 Dock Adapters?
It’s official: Apple is definitely up to something, and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be an iPhone 5, set to release next Wednesday. Or at least that’s what they’re very strongly hinting at.
It’s not all fun and games and PR buzz, though. There’s just one – or perhaps 19 – tiny little concerns. That is, one of the more prominent rumors regarding the iPhone 5 is that instead of its traditional 30-pin dock, the device will come with a 19-pin one. This doesn’t sound so bad in theory – until you hear the second part of the rumor. The second part of the rumor is that Apple will be the ONLY provider of dock adapters.
This just got a little scary, didn’t it?
According to the writers at Forbes, the primary belief regarding Apple’s decision to be the only source of dock adapters (if it’s true) isn’t because they wanted to cash in on forcing people to convert. The way they figure – if Apple can handle the demand for new adapters – then why not? I can definitely see their reasoning – why give someone else that revenue, if you don’t have to?
In any case, the expectation is that the adapters in question will cost about $10 each. If the company can’t keep up, then it’s not as if they’ll have trouble finding a few developers to help them out.

Hot Industry News: Want to Send Your Friend a Latte? Well, You Can.
Have you ever wanted to make a small gesture of some kind for one of your friends, but couldn’t get to them in-person? Well, now you can – a website called Treater launched this month, offering users the ability to send small gifts via the web, directly to a person’s smartphone.
Well, technically you’re not sending a gift – you’re actually sending the exact dollar amount for what the item costs. So you could potentially send “$4.50 for a latte from Starbucks or a $9.50 bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys.”
CEO for Treater, Jeff Ross, said the purpose behind the website was to give people the ability to do more than simply ‘like’ or send a message. It makes sense, really – how many people post on your Facebook wall saying happy birthday? This way, one of your friends can make a simple, kind gesture.
The site allows users to log in with their Facebook accounts, and brings in Facebook contacts. It also makes suggestions based on your friends’ timeline events – a birthday, an engagement, etc. Have a friend in another state? How cool would it be to actually send them a cupcake for their birthday, even if you can’t see them in-person?
Overall, we’re excited to see how Treater does in coming months.

New at Petra: The Pelican ProGear Elite Marine Deluxe Cooler with 2” Insulation (35 Quart)
Perfect for taking out on the lake – or anywhere you might need a cooler, really – the Pelican ProGear Elite Marine Deluxe Cooler with 2” Insulation (35 Quart) is a marine deluxe cooler with Polyethylene plastic and freezer grade gasket for extreme water tightness.
This cooler is tough – really tough. Its ultra-thick polyethylene insulation is two inches thick and meant for extreme ice retention. No matter what you keep in there, you know it’ll still be cold when it comes out. The hardware on it is also 100 percent non-corrosive stainless steel, with high quality, extra-wide press and pull latches made from ultra rugged plastic for a long lifespan.
This cooler also comes with molded-in lock hasp and stationary handle bars – durable and wide for use with gloves. As if that’s not enough, there’s also the raised rubberized non-skid/marking heavy-duty, great for keeping this cooler from sliding around on deck.
The Pelican ProGear Elite Marine Deluxe Cooler also has a threaded drain plug with hose attachment for easy drainage. You just can’t go wrong taking a cooler like this on your fishing trips!
Did we forget to mention that Pelican also does a great series of YouTube videos for their products?

Is Apple Creating 'Vented' Earbuds?
We learned today via Mashable that Apple has plans to possibly “reinvent the earbud”. The company filed a patent in April 2012 for “vented in-the-ear headphones”, meant to cut back on issues with the echo normally heard while making phone calls.
The idea behind the concept is that this design will improve the quality of the sound through venting or leakage. The company stated that sound quality is often lost in headphones due to the design, particularly during activities such as exercising or talking on the phone.
The design includes a flared portion on the earbud which,when inserted into the user’s ear, becomes compressed against the ear canal wall and creates a sealed cavity inside the ear canal. Because of this, the wearer is then provided with good acoustic isolation against external sounds.
Rumor has it that we could see this product as early as next month, simultaneous with the release of the iPhone 5.
