Folks who prefer browsing Twitter.com with the iPad instead of using a native Twitter client will be happy to hear that the social networking giant is updating the site to be more compatible with Apple's tablet.
Up until now, navigating Twitter's website from the iPad was unpleasant. You had the choice to view the site in desktop mode, or an upscaled mobile view — neither one is very tablet-friendly. But that's all going to change during the next 7 days...
I have to admit, Apple's iCloud service is pretty cool. Deep iOS integration, a cool web portal, and 5GB of free space. But what if you need more than just 5GB of cloud storage? The next step up is 10GB, and that'll run you $20 a year.
The plans go all the way up to $100 a year for 50GB (55GB with your free 5GB). That might seem like a lot for file storage, but it's on par with the competition. In fact, iCloud beats out the popular DropBox service in the bang-for-your-buck category...
When the iPhone 4 finally launched on Verizon's network, it was expected to be a godsend. U.S. customers could finally choose a different carrier if they had issues with AT&T. The device was projected to sell more than 5 million units — and then it didn't. Verizon barely managed to sell half that.
So why were analysts so far off? My guess is that it was related to a misconception that a lot of AT&T customers were unhappy, but we're not. There is also a good possibility that a lot of folks decided to hold off in anticipation for a summer-unveiling of a new model. In fact, analyst Gene Munster thinks it's a real good possibility...
I can already see eyes rolling after reading the headline: "Great, another iPhone 5 rumor." If that's the case, then move along. Complaining that there's too much talk about the upcoming iPhone on an iPhone-focused website is like complaining there's too much chocolate in your chocolate milk.
However, if you are anxiously awaiting the device's impending launch, you'll likely be happy to hear this particular piece of gossip. A Sterne Agee analyst told investors this morning that the iPhone 5 won't be the "modest update" that a lot of folks are expecting...
Just a little over a month after RazorianFly published a video showing off what appeared to be a native Skype iPad app, it's finally here. The popular video-conferencing service can now be crossed of the list of companies withholding software for Apple's tablet (looking at you Facebook).
9to5Mac's Mark Gurman sounded the alarm this evening that the Skype iPad app had finally gone live in the App Store, and it's awesome. Not only is the interface extremely fluid, but the Skype team incorporated all of the iPhone app's features including video conferencing over 3G...
While we still don't know Apple's entire plan for the iCloud service, we have learned several things over the last few months. We know that iOS backups, documents, and media content can all be stored in the cloud.
We also know that each user is allotted 5 GB of free space and that the cloud is accessible from a browser. But outside of that we haven't heard too many other details, until now. Apple just made iCloud.com available and shined some light on the mysterious project...
Although it seems like we are constantly hearing conflicting rumors involving Apple's next smartphone, there is one thing all of the gossip seems to agree on: a release date. Not only do they all suggest a Fall launch, a lot of the information has pointed specifically to September.
We've heard this "confirmed" by everyone from analysts with inside sources to carrier execs, and the date lines up nicely with Apple's annual iPod event. Although September makes sense for several reasons, AllThingsDigital is reporting that Apple won't launch the iPhone 5 until October...
Would you buy an Apple TV set? That's the billion dollar question I'm sure Steve Jobs and company are asking themselves right now, as speculation continues to suggest that Apple is bringing an HDTV to market in the not-so-distant future.
While the Cupertino company has identified their interests in the TV industry as "a hobby," there have been several reports over the last 12 months that indicate they are about to take it to the next level. So what could Apple do to make their TV set better than the competition?
Rumors of an iPhone 5 announcement this Fall have been highly contradictory with each other over the last few weeks. Will it be announced in August? Will it launch in September or October instead?
Well, if you just can't take waiting anymore for Apple to unveil their upcoming smartphone, gizChina might have a temporary solution for you. The gadget blog just came across an interesting counterfeit device modeled after the yet-to-be-announced iPhone...
We know, iPhone 5 rumors have gotten way out of hand. It seems like we are hearing 2 or 3 a day now. Aside from being annoying, the increased chatter is also a sign that we are getting close to an Apple announcement.
In fact, we are seeing a few indications that the iPhone 5 is nearing launch time. Multiple purported cases for the device have been surfacing, and now there are several reports claiming that previous models of the iPhone are being discounted and maybe even discontinued...
If you would have asked the world 40 years ago what 2012 would be like, a lot of folks would have probably said that we'd be driving vehicles that didn't touch the ground and there'd be tons of robots.
While flying-cars still appear to be a long ways away from materializing, the latter prediction may not be too far off. Apple's go to parts manufacturing firm Foxconn is reportedly about to add 1 million robots to the population...
Finally! If there was a utility that could do this before, I wasn't aware of it. UShare allows you to copy and tweet your favorite YouTube video URLs from the iOS YouTube app.
Well-known jailbreak developer moeseth submits the utility as part of his TweakWeek run. The popular contest has developers submitting one free tweak a day, for 7 days, and this one in particular is a fine example of the project...
