Earlier today, Apple unveiled a new iPhoto application for iOS during its iPad 3 event. The app is essentially a mobile version of its popular photo editing and management software for the Mac.
While we've already outlined most of iPhoto's components, a new discovery has been made regarding one of its features. It appears that the app doesn't use Google Maps for any of its GPS-related tasks...

This was developed exclusively for the new iPad Retina display. Looks good, don't you think?
Apple's iPad event ended three hours ago, and things are just now starting to quiet down. As most of you know, today was a big day for the Cupertino company, who made a number of big announcements.
Apple introduced two new major products, along with some new software, and dropped some interesting info. And for those of you who had trouble keeping up with everything, we've created a nice little roundup...
The Apple TV received an update to its interface, shortly after today's iPad media event.
The interface, while nice at first glance, does little more than spiffy up the Apple TV's Home screen. Underneath the friendly bubble based interface, you'll find the same text-based menus of old.
It's basically just a shiny coat of new paint on top of the Apple TV's plain jane UI. It's certainly not a sole reason to purchase an Apple TV, or negate your jailbreak just to enjoy the new UI...
If you're not worried about your jailbreak, we're assuming you've already installed the iOS 5.1 update that was just released this afternoon. iOS 5.1 adds some great features like Siri support for Japanese users, a new camera app for iPad, and a new camera shortcut.
The new update also adds a 4G indicator to the AT&T version of the iPhone 4S. While it doesn't truly support 4G, AT&T can call the iPhone 4S a 4G device because it supports HSPA+ networks up to 16 megabits per second...
Apple's online store is slowly creeping back online, and as we go to purchase the new iPad, AT&T and Verizon's LTE data plans for the LTE iPad have been revealed. Nothing has changed from the old 3G data options. Both carriers are still offering similar pricing, but have different options available.
AT&T is offering the lowest amount of data, offering only 250MB per month for $14.99, while Verizon offers the highest of 10GB per month for $80...
Apple has just released its promised iPhoto for iOS to the iTunes App Store. The new app, available for both the iPhone and iPad, will allow you to edit and manage your photos on the go for only $4.99...
Following Apple's announcement of an upgraded Apple TV today, Netflix has just announced it will be offering 1080p streaming to the new device. Apple announced the new Apple TV at its media event in California, along with the new iPad.
The new Apple TV is priced at $99 and features 1080p playback and a sleek new interface. Netflix, being one of the main reasons many buy an Apple TV, will be the perfect app for taking advantage of the Apple TV's 1080p abilities...
Although the App Store and all of its wonderful applications are accessible over a 3G network, there's a bit of a caveat. Apple prevents you from downloading larger applications when using anything but a Wi-Fi connection.
That limitation used to be a measly 25MB, meaning anything over that would prompt a pop up that would tell you to connect to a Wi-Fi network to download. But it looks like today, Apple has bumped that limit up to 50MB...
Following its media event that just ended, as promised, Apple has just released its iOS 5.1 update. The new update, which has a nice list of features, is now available in a 180MB over the air update.
The most notable features for iOS 5.1 include Siri support for Japanese users, a new camera app for iPad, and a new camera shortcut.
iOS 5.1 is available for the iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, and iPod touch 3G. Additionally, Apple released iOS 5.0 for the Apple TV 3, and Apple TV 2.
iOS 5.1's full change log:
While we've already heard about Apple's new iPad and Apple TV, a few more things are trickling out after the event that just wrapped up in California. Along with iOS 5.1 and the new iPhoto for iPad, Apple will also launch iTunes 10.6 this afternoon.
There's no word on new features, but it will of course feature support for iOS 5.1...
