SlideWriter has landed on the iPad with a souped up virtual keyboard that takes cues from a concept video gone viral.
It's a note taking app which makes it easier to edit text by simply sliding your finger above the keyboard to quickly move the cursor.
But hold your horses, it's not exactly what you've been hoping for...
Steve Jobs used to defend his "thermonuclear" option against Android by stressing how Apple did not enter the search space while Google had decided to challenge the iPhone with its Android.
Jobs' words no longer hold true. With Siri, an AI-driven personal digital assistant, Apple has begun slowly but surely eating into Google's significant search traffic coming from iOS devices.
As such, Siri is emerging as a key tool for casual search on iOS devices. And with iOS 6, Apple is expanding her reach with new alliances, making it easier for users to bypass Google, especially for local search...
Latest checks from Apple's suppliers in Taiwan indicate that the next iPhone is in fact launching in October, as previously rumored, full twelve months following release of the iPhone 4S last October.
In a landmark deal with the China's and world's biggest carrier, the handset will support China Mobile's proprietary TD-SCDMA 3G network, making it a true world phone...
Back in May, a report quoted Foxconn CEO Terry Gou as saying his company was “making preparations” to assemble a full-blown television set for Apple. It proved bogus when Foxconn issued a statement claiming Gou “neither confirmed nor speculated about Foxconn’s involvement in the production of any product”, but such an ambiguously worded denial only added fuel to fire.
According to a new rumor by Chinese news site 21cbh.com (via AppleInsider), based on talks with a Sharp executive and other sources at the company, Sharp will begin delivering LCD television panels to Foxconn in the third quarter of this year, for the specific purpose of assembling Apple television sets...

Asphalt 7: Heat arrives just in time for the summer, available at an unbeatable price of just 99 cents, which buys you both the iPhone and native iPad version. It's a steal, really...
Apple has bent the truth by advertising its iPad in Australia as having "4G" capability, thus misleading would-be buyers. For that, Cupertino has now been fined a whopping $2.29 million, Associated Press reports.
The case was brought by regulators shortly following the iPad's release in Australia, when the company began advertising the tablet as "iPad with WiFi + 4G" though it cannot connect to Australia's fourth-generation LTE network. Apple will also have to pay 300,000 Australian dollars in litigation costs...
Folks who frequent the Reddit community are probably fairly familiar with Alien Blue. It's considered to be one of the best third-party iOS clients for the popular site.
Well the best gets better today, with the release of Alien Blue 2.6. The update brings new features like a native GIF player, iCloud syncing, and much more...
Since it debuted back in 2007, the iPhone has become somewhat of a point of reference for other smartphones. It seems that every time a new handset is released, we hear: "is this the iPhone killer?"
And it looks like the same thing has happened with Apple's digital assistant. "Siri competitors" seems to be becoming a popular meme, as we've already seen one from Samsung, Google, and now LG...
Tumblr released a significant update to its iOS app last night, bringing the software to version 3.0. It feels faster, looks better, and includes a handful of new features.
The first thing Tumblr users will notice is that the app's been completely redesigned. A new UI and revamped notifications tab make for much smoother navigation...
Earlier this year, we passed along a report claiming that Apple was looking to ditch the 30 pin dock connector in favor of something smaller. It was said that we could see this new port as early as this year.
Since then, we've seen a number of purported "iPhone 5" part leaks that feature a noticeably-smaller charging port at the bottom. And now, TechCrunch says it has just confirmed the change...
One of the most common questions we get asked regarding the third-generation iPad is, "which carrier should I go with?" Here in the US, the tablet is available on both AT&T and Verizon networks.
Depending on you're location, we generally recommend the Verizon model. The carrier has had its LTE network up and running for nearly two years. And it's now available in more than 300 markets...
So this is rather interesting: Apparently Foxconn's CEO Terry Gou has been sharing some of his famous words of wisdom lately, advising consumers to wait a bit before making their next smartphone purchase.
Speaking at the company's annual shareholders meeting, Gou told investors to hold off on buying the new Samsung Galaxy S III, claiming that Apple's next smartphone would put the handset to shame...
