Still trying to figure out what to get that special someone for the holidays? Well, if that person happens to be an iPhone owner and you happen to have $30,000 laying around, you might want to check out the iNuke Boom.
Behringer, a well known manufacturer of audio and music equipment, has managed to make the world's largest (and loudest) iPhone speaker dock. The gigantic accessory will make its debut at next year's CES convention...
Apple is no stranger to litigation. In the last 6 months alone it has taken on all three major Android partners (Samsung, HTC, and Motorola) in some sort of courtroom battle. So it was no surprise to hear about its recent lawsuit in China over the iPad trademark.
But what is surprising is the fact that a Shenzhen court rejected the lawsuit, ruling in favor of the defendant, Proview — a Taiwanese electronics company. So until Apple decides to take further action, it doesn't own the rights to "iPad" in the world's largest country...
Earlier this year we found out that Arizona police officers were undergoing significant training on smartphones and applications. Hackers uncovered the private information, which depicted a police department frantically trying to keep up with the times.
Now it looks like members of law enforcement are going to get a little more hands-on with the technology. Cult of Mac is reporting that mobileOne, an iPhone fingerprint-reading accessory, will be among devices that undergo trials by the FBI next year...
Even though jailbreaking hasn't done much for the Apple TV what it has for the other iDevices, it still has made quite an impact. FireCore's aTV Flash (Black) application is a perfect example of that, adding several features to the popular media hub.
For those not familiar with the software, aTV Flash is a jailbreak application for the Apple TV 2 that includes a web browser and support for streaming dozens of file formats. It is the app for Apple TV jailbreakers, and it just received a major update...
We've already told you about Amazon's price-saving application in our holiday-helper roundup. The software allows you to use your iPhone's camera to scan the barcode of a product and compare prices from hundreds of Amazon resellers.
But the online retailer also offers a standalone iPhone app that allows you to compare prices: PriceCheck. It gives you multiple ways to search prices to make sure you get the lowest one. And on December 10th it can save you even more money...
Siri has garnered a lot of media attention over the last month. Even hackers with intentions to port the digital assistant to other devices are making headlines. But along with all of the attention comes criticism. There's a lot of folks that feel Siri isn't worth the hype.
Apple has taken quite a bit of heat over releasing Siri, even though it's labelled as "beta." The company is typically known for releasing finely-tuned products that "just work," and Siri doesn't seem to fit that bill. But maybe Apple felt that it had to release Siri...
iPhone-controlled toys have been popping up all over the place this year. There's been helicopters, Drones, and even robots. But we haven't come across a dedicated desktop missile launcher... until now.
The iLaunch Thunder is, well, a desktop missile launcher that can rotate and fire foam missiles at nearby targets. The cool part is that you can control the rotating, and the missile launching, with any iOS device...
Prior to this year, AT&T was in a pretty sweet spot. As the only carrier in the United States with Apple's coveted handset, generating new smartphone customers wasn't very difficult.
But now that Verizon and Sprint are in the mix, AT&T might want to think about stepping up its game. Consumer Reports just named the carrier the worst in the US in customer satisfaction, again.
Wireless carriers will typically do anything and everything to become an iPhone partner. But there have been some operators that have turned down the opportunity to carry the handset, such as US Cellular.
America's 6th largest wireless carrier told investors last month that it had just turned down a deal from Apple regarding its smartphone, citing "unacceptable terms." Now the operator is saying the iPhone's lack of "cutting edge" technology also played a factor in its decision to walk...
Analysts, investors, and tech pundits have been predicting an Apple-flavored TV set for quite some time now. It seems like everyone wants to see the company do for televisions, what it has for smartphones and tablets.
We've heard all kinds of gossip regarding the rumored television set — everything from integrated Siri voice control to built-in iCloud and App Store support. But this is the first time we've heard specific details on the hardware...
We all saw this coming. BGR is reporting that multiple law firms from the north eastern region of the United States have just filed class action lawsuits against Apple and several other manufacturers and wireless carriers due to their part in the Carrier IQ scandal.
Carrier IQ's IQRD app comes pre-installed on millions of handsets each year, and was recently exposed for secretly collecting private user data. The software is hidden within mobile operating systems and never asks for a user's permission to collect their information.
Although Apple's patent war with Samsung has received a lot of media attention over the last few months, its battle with HTC has been just as fierce. In fact, it was HTC's multi-touch-enabled handset that first sent Steve Jobs through the roof last year.
As with Samsung, Apple has taken HTC on in dozens of courtrooms around the globe. But perhaps none of them are more important than the case going on in the United States right now. Its outcome could have huge ramifications for both companies...
