For the past decade, Apple has been setting the bar for retail chains. Its well-placed, well-designed stores have been the envy of all other outlets, with their iOS device-toting salesmen and shopper-friendly layouts.
Several retailers are starting to catch on, though, and have begun remodeling their stores in Apple's image. And it looks like AT&T is next. It seems the carrier is going to start replacing its POS computers with iPads...
Great news for all of you iOS gamers out there, Firemonkeys has just taken the lid off of Real Racing 3. The title is one of the most popular racing franchises, if not franchises in general, in the App Store.
This will be the first game out of the new mobile development studio, which is made up of Firemint and Iron Monkey staff — two independent studios that were recently acquired by Electronic Arts...
Apple is expected to unveil a number of new products this fall, including a revamped iPod touch, with a 4-inch display, and an all-new iPod nano. But the two most anticipated announcements are for the new iPhone (obviously), and the rumored iPad mini.
Despite Apple's attempts at secrecy, a number of major news outlets have confirmed that the company will be unveiling a refreshed smartphone, and a smaller tablet, at its September 12 media event. And we even (think we) have a good idea of what they look like...

ayecon — the retina compatible theme for the iPhone — has now made its way to the iPad in full Retina display glory.
As we covered in our exclusive hands on video preview of the theme, it has shaped up to be one of the, if not the most impressive theme currently available for the iPad.
If you're rocking a new iPad that's jailbroken, then head over to Cydia's BigBoss repo where you can download it for $2.99.
Be sure to let us know what you think about it in the comments below.
We've heard the reports from "insider sources," and we've seen the leaked parts. But just in case you had any doubts that Apple was on the verge of releasing a new iPhone, check this out.
A handset, believed to be one of Apple's next smartphones, has been spotted pinging a developer's server logs. Codenamed iPhone 5,2, this could be a sign that a release is imminent...
Today I received my Nexus 7 "Smart Cover". Okay, it's really just a bulky case, but it closely mimics the function of Apple's innovative means of screen protection. I ordered it simply to compare it to Apple's original version of the Smart Cover.
As you have probably heard, the Nexus 7 contains an unadvertised feature — magnets on the front right-side of the device, which very much imitate the iPad's sleep/wake functionality.
Should Apple be upset with this unadvertised feature?
Apple's iPhone media event isn't expected to happen for another 6 weeks, but the tech world is fairly confident in what the handset is going to look like. Since May of this year, we've seen several parts surface from different sources that all point to the same two-tone design.
And more evidence of the theory has surfaced today. Some new pictures are starting to make their way around the web of what some folks believe to be a finalized prototype for the next iPhone...
Have you ever wondered how much money Saurik makes for running Cydia? Or whatever happened to Cydia for Mac? Good. We've just come across the answers to these questions, and more.
In a response to a recent forum tantrum, Saurik decided to address a number of misconceptions in the jailbreak community regarding him and his popular underground app store...
The sneaky folks over at Wired just flew a 1949 Piper PA-11 (Cub Special) aircraft over Apple's Maiden, North Carolina campus to see what the old Cupertino company was up to. And apparently, it's building stuff.
The publication's "iSpy Plane" managed to grab photos of a number of new structures on the campus, including Apple's 100-acre solar farm, and its mysterious "tactical data center" we learned about last month...
Yesterday Amazon launched Amazon Instant Video, its new video streaming app for the iPad. The app lets you either stream or mark for download and later offline viewing any previously purchased video from Amazon. It also allows Amazon Prime users to stream over 120,000 videos for free.
Jailbreak users were quick to note that Amazon put a block in place to prevent them from using the app. As we reported this morning, Amazon even confirmed the problem, basically saying that if you are using a jailbroken iPad, there is nothing they can do for you.
But don't worry, as usual, the jailbreak community has your back...
Every good party needs good music. And nowadays, most people seem to store most of their good music on their iPod or iPhone. So that makes iOS compatibility an important feature when you're out shopping for a stereo.
There's no shortage of music players that have a 30-pin dock connector, and there's several to pick from that can connect to your device through AirPlay. But sometimes a Jambox isn't enough. Enter the Phillips Mini Hi-Fi...
The iPad is increasingly looking like a big success story for Apple though investors have been largely ignoring the fact due to their fixation with the iPhone, which fell three million units short of predictions in Q2 2012.
During the June quarter, Apple sold 17 million iPads, an 84 percent increase over the 9.25 million iPads sold in the year-ago quarter and up from the 11.8 million iPads shipped in Q1 2012. In just twelve months, Apple increased its share by almost seven percentage points, from 61.5 percent in Q2 2011 to a whopping 68.2 percent in Q2 2012.
Samsung and Asus also gained, the former on the heels of its Galaxy Tab lineup that Apple thinks copies the iPad's look and feel, and the latter based on strong sales of own products and the Nexus 7 which Asus makes for Google...
