One of the biggest mysteries regarding Apple's rumored TV set, other than whether it really exists or not, is how Apple plans to push content to the device. A major advantage of the television is expected to be its easy-to-use interface, and there's only so much Apple could do with your everyday cable or dish connection.
In a note to investors this morning, Jeffries analyst Peter Misek laid out four ways that Apple could get around the need for a third party set top box and remote control...
Halliburton, based out of Houston, Texas, is one of the largest energy services companies in the world. It has operations in more than 70 countries and employs over 60,000 people.
Given that information, you can see why it's such a big deal that the company has recently announced its intentions to ditch RIM's BlackBerry platform in favor of the iPhone and iOS...
Last month, we told you about the danger of jailbreaking becoming a "legal violation" again this year. Two years ago, the US government ruled that the act of jailbreaking was legal. But that ruling could expire this year if it isn't renewed.
Leading the fight to keep jailbreaking legal is the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation). And Gizmodo recently had a chance to sit down and talk with one of the foundation's staff lawyers, Mitch Stolz, about the whole matter...
Apple has received a lot of criticism for leaving LTE out of its two latest iOS devices. After all, Android manufacturers have been implementing the 4G technology in handsets and tablets for over a year now.
But as Tim Cook noted last Summer, LTE chipsets have been too big and too battery-intensive thus far for Apple to justify using them in its devices. And it looks like HTC had to find that out the hard way...
When Steve Jobs unveiled the first Apple Store back in 2001, critics laughed at him. Many believed that Jobs' plan to open retail stores on prime real estate to spotlight Apple's products would send the company into bankruptcy.
But as we all know, things didn't quite play out that way. As with a majority of its other endeavors, Apple's retail chain is the best, and most lucrative in the business. And thanks to the recent iPhone 4S launch, the best just got better...
When Apple announced that its new Siri assistant would only be available on the iPhone 4S last October, it caused quite a commotion in the iOS community. It meant that millions of iOS users, even those who recently purchased new devices, would have to go without the feature.
We've heard a couple of theories on why Apple chose to make Siri 4S-only, including the need for a solid selling point for its new handset, and the fact that it's still in beta. But according to a recent CNET report, it's all about the processor...
Last week we told you about iOSOpenDev, an app aimed at lowering the learning curve for iOS developers looking to create jailbreak tweaks. The utility allows users to develop tweaks using Apple's own Xcode software.
As promised, iOSOpenDev is now available for download. So if you have a little bit of a background in programming, and you're looking for a way to get into jailbreak development, you might want to check it out...
Over half of the US population is expected to be in front of a TV set today watching the Super Bowl. But for those of you that for one reason or another can't get in front of a television this afternoon, there's other ways to catch the game.
If you happen to have access to a computer, you can watch it there. The game will be streamed live via NBCSports.com and NFL.com. No computer access? That's ok, we've come up with a few ways to follow all of the action on your iPhone...
Nearly 170 million viewers tuned in to watch the Super Bowl last year, meaning over half of America's 308 million residents caught at least part of the the big game.
If you plan on being a part of that statistic today, you're definitely going to want to download the new Chevy Game Time application for iOS. GM will be using the app to give away thousands of prizes, including several new vehicles...
The legal battle going on between Apple and Motorola in Germany's Mannheim court is starting to get pretty intense. Just yesterday, Apple was forced to pull some of its 3G products from its German online store as the result of a temporary injunction.
Although Apple quickly won a suspension on the ruling and the products are on sale again, the damage is done. The court has ruled that it believes that Apple is using one of Motorola's wireless patents. And for that, Motorola wants to get paid...
You have to feel bad for Yahoo. The one-time dominate web company now seems to be constantly staving off the thought of bankruptcy as a result of failing to transition into the mobile market as its counterparts have.
But that doesn't mean that it's giving up on the mobile world. Last year, the company launched an iOS app to help you search for mobile applications. And now it's just unveiled a web-based portal with a similar function...
The ability to split up the iPad's keyboard is one of my favorite lesser-known features in iOS. I don't use it all the time. But it really comes in handy when I need to rattle off an email or conjure up other large bodies of text.
Apple obviously put a lot of thought into getting the split keyboard just the right size for its tablet, and it shows. In fact, there are even some elements of the keyboard that you can't see. Did you know there are hidden keys on the iPad split keyboard?
