Back in July, we reported that the US military was working on integrating consumer smartphone and tablet technology into soldier's field gear. Apparently the military's technology, at least in that regard, was a bit outdated.
Now it looks like the folks pushing for updated technology have recorded their first win, as WIRED is reporting that the 3rd Aircraft Wing of the US Marines have purchased 32 iPads. The tablets are for its Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HLMA)...
Recognize the gorgeous interior featured in the photo above? It's the backseat of a new concept car from world-renowned luxury car-maker Bentley. The interior concept garnered a lot of oohs and ahs at last week's Frankfurt Motor Show.
Why are we so interested in the vehicle? This isn't your ordinary Bentley (is there such a thing?). Built into the backs of both front seats are two iPads, with bluetooth keyboards. The car also features an iPod touch and a host of other Apple gear...
It's no secret that Starbucks has been in bed with Apple for a long time. The popular coffee chain has been giving away free iTunes tracks to its customers for years.

Hold on to your hats folks, Engadget just dropped a bombshell. The tech blog just published a photo it received from a tipster that appears to be of a screen from AT&T's internal retail software.
The screenshot looks like it was taken from the carrier's trouble ticket system, a place where reps can pass issues on to tech support. What's so interesting about the pic? It seemingly outs a new Apple device — the iPhone 4S...
Using the iPhone to remotely control cars and other vehicles was once limited to hackers and hobbyist. But ever since Parrot introduced the AR.Drone, we've seen several RC accessories hit the iOS scene.
It seems like remote control helicopters are all the rage with accessory-makers this Fall, but Orbotix has something else in mind. They want you to use your iDevice to control a Fushigi-looking robotic sphere...
MyGreatFest, the world's first jailbreak convention, was held earlier today in London. The event featured presentations from prominent figures in the jailbreak community, including saurik and members of the Chronic Dev Team.
The convention featured 6 main keynotes with an array of speakers. We've collected some of the highlights from MyGreatFest for those that weren't able to tune into the livestream...
Remember a few years ago when self-parking cars were all the rage? It seems that the novelty has worn off (and lawsuits have ensued), as we haven't seen many car-makers touting the feature as of late.

These "Network Optimization Practices" consist of reducing the data speed of the top 5% of Verizon users, a.k.a those who are on an unlimited data plan and use more than 2GB of data per month...
It seems as though Case-Mate started a firestorm with its little publicity stunt yesterday. I call it that because whether its depiction of the iPhone 5 was accurate or not, I'm sure the company enjoyed the extra traffic.
The iPhone mockups in Case-Mate's photos looked an awful lot like the iPad 2, and some folks didn't like that. In fact, our very own Jeff wrote a piece about the images. But love 'em or hate 'em, the design can't be too far off. And here's why...
