TechBytes: iPhone Alarm Glitch
Vizio mobile devices and Nexercise fitness application.
Jan. 3, 2011— -- Many iPhone users may have set extra alarm clocks today.
An apparent software bug caused numerous iPhone alarm clocks to stay silent this weekend.
Apple said the alarms would work today.
But there are reports of malfunctioning alarms in Asia, along with missed flights and late arrivals at work.
Vizio is preparing to enter the mobile-device market with a tablet and a cellphone.
The company says both devices will have front-facing cameras, for video conferencing.
Vizio says its goal is to introduce affordable products with innovative features.
The devices are expected out later this year.
And if you plan to exercise more this year, Nexercise is developing a new iPhone app for you.
Here's how it will work:
You give the app your workout plans.
The iPhone's sensors will look for physical activity.
If you meet your goals, you're rewarded with points that you can use for discounts.
