When Facebook entered the murky waters of the instant messaging business with Facebook Messenger, many eyebrows were raised by its US-only launch. With over 700 million users worldwide, that left a fair chunk unable to take advantage of Facebook's latest venture.
As of now, that's an issue that's on its way to being addressed, with Facebook Messenger now being made available in the U.K. App Store...
No Mario for you! That's what Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is saying to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. Why? Because Nintendo refuses to make games for anything other than its own hardware. How lame.
After being pressured to hop on the iOS bandwagon by investors, Nintendo has said that development for the App Store is "absolutely not under consideration."
Formspring has launched its official iPhone app. There are many unofficial apps for Formspring in the App Store, much like the Facebook iPad app.
The official Formspring app lets you ask and reply to questions. You can also respond to questions with text and video.
After we spent years begging Apple to finally add multitasking to iOS, the boffins in Cupertino relented, bringing the joys of multiple running apps to our iPhones and iPads. Well, sort of.
Apple's implementation has many-a-geek arguing over whether it really is multitasking. Once you get past that little hiccup, it works surprisingly well. But could it be better?
The launch of iOS multitasking hasn't stopped the creative types from showing us how they think multiple apps should be handled, and a new video caught our eye today, and we're rather impressed...
With Apple's next iPhone announcement approaching fast, we're all more eager than ever to see what stunning creation Apple unveils next.
Until then, our appetites can be temporarily satisfied with beautiful artist renders of potential iPhone 5 designs. This one is no different, expect that it depicts what looks to be more like an iPhone Nano than iPhone 5...
If you haven't figured it out by now, Apple is very picky about applications it allows in its App Store. Even software that makes the cut can be removed at the drop of a hat if the company sees fit.
Apple's decision to reject and ban apps typically garners a fair amount of criticism from developers and the iOS community. And this time is no different. Hit the jump to see why Apple banned Molleindustria's iPhone Story...
For a company who's motto is Quietly Brilliant, they sure have (for the time being) a U.S. president that is loud and ignorant. The comments HTC's Martin Fichter made Monday about the iPhone being uncool are still echoing around the web.
For those of you who missed it, Fichter made some pretty wild accusations that the iPhone was becoming uncool, after speaking with some kids at his daughter's college. The comments set off an onslaught of criticism from tech pundits and Apple fans...
When iMessage was first announced by Apple way back in June, we all got very excited. The prospect of replacing SMS with something a little more 21st century appeals to us all, and getting rid of those ridiculous carrier charges is somewhat of a bonus.
What would really make iMessage stand out from most alternatives, and especially SMS, is the ability to send and receive messages from computers, as well as our iPads, iPod touches and iPhones. Currently, that's not possible, though as we've already made clear, other solutions already offer compelling alternatives.
New code discovered in OS X Lion's version of iChat suggests that iMessage may actually be coming to the desktop...

IDC have been at the old researching game again, and this time they've decided that Apple's iPad accounts for a massive 68% of worldwide tablet shipments, which we have to admit, isn't to be sniffed at!
The results are for the second quarter of 2011, which means it is worth remembering that the recent influx of Android-powered tablets will no doubt have altered that landscape slightly...
Good news for the folks that just can't wait for Apple to embed projectors into their iDevices. Epson, the well known printer-making company, just entered the iOS accessory space with a new line of portable projectors.
As reported by Macworld, the new video projectors resemble home theatre-style projectors, with one notable difference — an iDevice dock. That means that you can watch movies stored on your iPad or iPhone on a 100+ inch display...
In the world of smartphones, and mobile electronics in general, thin is in. No one wants to carry around a bulky device. That would defeat the purpose of calling them "portable."
With the iPhone 4, Apple took the "slim" concept and ran with it, dubbing it the world's thinnest smartphone. Ever wonder why, after 15 months, Apple still hasn't removed the claim? It's because it still stands...
