A new report from the New York Post claims that Apple is about to gain a new competitor in the tablet market, with online book store and music giant Amazon set to enter the fray with its own set of tablet devices.
Powered by Google's Android mobile operating system, Amazon's tablets are believed to be set to cost 'hundreds less' than the iPad's base $499 price tag. That pretty much confirms a $299 Amazon tablet...
We always assumed the top dogs at Apple received a decent wage, but MacRumors has dug up some information on just what kind of bonus new CEO Tim Cook will receive.
In an 8-K form filed with the SEC, Apple has outlined a share deal that will make your eyes water. Cook will receive 1,000,000 shares which, when vested, would net the new CEO around $380,000,000 if they were cashed in today. Part of the deal is that he can't cash his investments for another ten years...
In a recent article about Tim Cook, The Wall Street Journal dropped an interesting tidbit about Apple's future plans to invade our living rooms. The article questioned if Cook was aggressive enough to muscle Apple into the TV industry.
As most of you know, Apple is rumored to be working on a television set. And there has also been ongoing speculation that it is thinking of launching its own subscription-based content service, worthy of competing against NetFlix or cable.
The Journal's article lends some more credibility to the latter theory by confirming Apple's interest in a "subscription TV service..."
AirPlay has traveled a rocky road over the last year or so. It just doesn't seem to be garnering much support from third party developers (hardware and software). But that may all change with iOS 5's new Mirroring feature.
We told you about the iPad 2's mirroring capability back in June, but the feature seems to have greatly matured since then. Apple'n'Apps posted another video showing off the new iOS 5 option, and trust me, it looks awesome...
RIM is set to finally put the finishing touches to its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet – four months after they released it.
Launched as a not-quite-iPad competitor, the PlayBook is a 7" tablet running the Canadian firm's new QNX operating system. QNX is, in fact, so new that it didn't have an email client at launch. Or RIM's unique selling point, BBM. That could all be about to change, as RIM begins to finally fix some, if not all, of the PlayBook's issues...
Earlier today, we saw photos of components that may or may not pertain to one of Apple's upcoming smartphones. The frame resembled that of an iPhone 4, but with a modified antenna.
Now another purported next-gen iPhone part has surfaced — the backplate. And like the aforementioned frame, it looks extremely similar to its predecessor. So how do we know it's a next-generation component? Because it says so...
iPads find their way into all kinds of places, and they're going to be an integral part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' kit when the season begins. The team and its staff got sick of carrying around the old fashioned Yellow Pages-like playbooks of yesteryear. What could they replace them with? Well, iPad 2s of course!
Now, the 90-strong team will each receive an iPad 2 for referencing plays and NFL video archives...
Google is ending Slide, the company behind the new social photography app called Photovine, according to reports.
The search giant intends to pull the rug from under all Slide applications, both Android and iOS, with Photovine being the most prominent on the App Store.
Google picked up Slide just over a year ago for $200 million, and its leader Max Levchin will leave the company as part of the move...
Folks, we're back with Episode 04 of Ask Jeff. I wanted to thank everyone for all of the great questions; we had over 200 combined questions for Episode 03.
Unfortunately, that means that I didn't get to answer everyone's question, but I still managed to cover quite a few interesting inquiries this go 'round.

For the past few months, we've been hearing rumors that Apple is going to release a 3rd tablet this Fall. It's supposedly going to be a complimentary "Pro" model to the iPad 2, and include a higher resolution display with better cameras.
However, recent reports of manufacturing issues have pushed the iPad 3 back to early next year. CENS "confirms" the delay with its latest report. The Taiwanese news outlet claims that the iPad 3 production won't start until October...
Facebook Messenger has received an update in the App Store, bringing the version number up to 1.0.2.
The update offers minor changes, according to the release notes, but it is recommended that all users download the update as soon as possible due to some bug fixes. No major new features have been added to the app.
International Facebook users are still out of luck, with the social network once again deciding to keep the app a US-only affair...
We love the guys over at the Taiwan-based NMA.tv media conglomerate, and they seem to love Steve Jobs, too. Barely days since the Apple co-founder left his post as Chief Executive Officer in Cupertino, NMA has put together a hilarious video showcasing the career of the charismatic Jobs...
