The annual day-after-Thanksgiving sales blitz known as Black Friday is now behind us. We'll likely see several more deals and discounts over the next month, but the long lines and door busters are gone.
The lines, though, were noticeably shorter this year than they were in 2011, despite the fact that retail sales were up. And that can only mean that more people are doing their holiday shopping online...
Here at iDB, we're big fans of the iCade controller line. Both the iCade arcade cabinet and the 8-Bitty gamepad have a fun, retro look to them, and they support more iOS titles than any other controller.
So as you can imagine, we were pretty excited when we found out that ThinkGeek was going to be discounting the two accessories, along with several other items, as part of its major Black Friday sale....
Looking to snag an iPhone 5 on the cheap? Well if you're an AT&T subscriber, or don't mind becoming one, you're in luck. The carrier has just started offering refurbished models of Apple's latest handset, and the 16GB version costs just $99...
Ok folks, Apple's Black Friday sale has now officially begun here in the US. After being down for several hours, the company's Stateside online store has returned with discounts on several popular products.
As usual, the price cuts are modest. But for a company that rarely puts its products — particularly current gen models — on sale, it's a fairly big deal. We've got all of the best deals and details after the fold...
Last month, Rockstar announced that in celebration of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's 10 years, it was going to be releasing a special anniversary edition of the title on iOS and Android sometime this fall.
At the time, the studio was pretty vague on details surrounding the upcoming game. But yesterday, it published a blog post confirming its release date, price and other information. Details after the fold...
Though the current US patent trial between Apple and Samsung, the one that resulted in a $1 billion verdict, is still far from over, another Stateside court battle between the two companies is already heating up.
Unlike the previous case, this new set of lawsuits pertains to more recent products from both sides including Samsung's family of Nexus devices, Apple's iPhone 5, and now the new iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini...
Smartphones are often referred to as Swiss Army knives. They're digital cameras, and movie players. And with their vast app selections, there's little else they can't do — much like the popular pocketable multi-tool.
But the new TaskOne case takes the term a little more literally. With its built-in 2.5" drop point blade, bottle opener, wire cutters and host of other tools, it actually does turn your iPhone into a Swiss Army knife...
On Friday last week, Samsung asked the court to force Apple to turn over the full details of its recently announced patent settlement with HTC. It feels the terms of the deal could be useful in its ongoing legal battle with the iPad-maker.
Apple has since agreed to allow Samsung to see the pact in a heavily redacted document — leaving all of about 33 words. But tonight, a judge has granted Samsung's motion to compel. So Apple will have to reveal the entire agreement...
Earlier this week, the ITC announced that it would be reviewing its September-decision that Apple's products don't violate some of Samsung's patents. It's a pretty big deal, as an overturn could result in a sales ban.
As you can imagine, Samsung is thrilled with the ITC's choice to revisit its previous ruling. And this morning, the company's head of mobile and IT division Shin Jong-kyun had a few things to say about the case...
There's a lot of things that the iPad excels at, like performance and screen quality. But it leaves a lot to be desired in the audio department. The tablet just doesn't have the technology to deliver rich, full sound.
Obviously, there's a number of accessories on the market today that fill this void, like the Jawbone Jambox. But none of them are as portable and attractive as the iPad itself. And that's where ORA comes in...
If you're an Apple fan, or at least follow the company, you know that it doesn't have a reputation for hitting deadlines. The iTunes Match launch was delayed, as is iTunes 11. And it doesn't look like the new iMacs are going to make it on time.
So it shouldn't surprise anyone that the ribbon cutting ceremony for Apple's new spaceship-like research campus has also been pushed back. According to a new report, the company's new workplace won't be set for open until mid-2016...
AT&T rustled some feathers back in August when it announced that it would only allow its subscribers on its new Shared data plans to utilize the FaceTime over Cellular feature in iOS 6.
Then earlier this month, the carrier said that it would be opening up the feature to legacy data plans. And as it turns out, it looks like this might actually include unlimited plans as well...
