With Apple's media event (or two media events) getting closer, the rumor mill has gone into full swing. Earlier today, reports surfaced regarding the new iPod touch, and nano. And now this.
Citing an Asian source, Japanese blog Macotakara says it has learned that Apple will be in fact calling its smaller tablet the "iPad mini" — a name used often by the media to describe the device...
Though we've seen a handful of leaked front panels that reportedly belong to the next-gen iPod touch, information regarding the mp3 player has been extremely scarce as of late.

Some folks like to jailbreak their devices to add more functionality, and some folks do it just to change the look and feel of them. And if you happen to fall in the second category, you might be interested in this.
TVLocker is a new jailbreak tweak that adds a bit of old-school flavor to the way you lock your iPhone or iPad. So instead of your device just fading to a black screen, you get a tube TV-style animation...
One of the great things about the iPad is the fact that it's so easy to use, a toddler could use it. In fact, they do use it. Recent studies show that roughly 40% of children ages 2-4 have used an iPad or similar device.
But unless you want to put the fate of your $500 tablet in the hands of a two-year old, you better put a case on it. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of choices out there that are kid-friendly. Enter the iKid...

Just as we expected, shortly after the jury handed down its verdict today, Judge Lucy Koh set a date for a preliminary injunction hearing. Apple has already won — some one billion dollars in damages — but now it's looking for sales bans.
The hearing is set for September 20th. And considering that the jury found several of Samsung's handsets, and two of its tablets, to be infringing on Apple's patents, it's very possible that we could see some products banned from the US...
Late this afternoon, the jury handed down a verdict in the US-based Apple vs Samsung trial. Samsung was found guilty of willfully infringing on several of Apple's patents, and will be forced to pay major damages.

In case you've missed it this afternoon, the jury handed down a verdict in the Apple vs. Samsung trial. Samsung was found guilty of infringing on a number of Apple's feature and design patents, and has been asked to pay over $1 billion in damages.
Apple, on the other hand, was cleared of all of Samsung's infringement charges, and won't be forced to pay any kind of settlement. And now that both companies have had a chance to review the jury's decisions, they've released their statements...

The following day, Apple issued a statement on the texting bug, saying that it was a problem that all manufacturers had to deal with. But according to a new report, that may not be the case...
If you haven't noticed lately, part leaks for Apple's rumored iPad mini have started to pick up over the past few weeks. Last weekend, the tablet's dock connector assembly surfaced. And a few days before that we saw its audio jack.
These pieces should help alleviate some of the skepticism that the smaller iPad doesn't exist that came along with no physical evidence. But if you're still on the fence about the slate, check out these new iPad mini cases...
Even after The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is working with cable providers on a digital set-top box, iTV rumors have continued to swirl. It's been that way for several months now, despite the fact that there's zero evidence.
