Ladies and gentlemen, I've got good news, and I've got bad news.
The good news is that playing PlayStation 3 games on your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is a certain possibility.
The bad news is that you're going to have to wait a little bit longer for the developer of everyAir to release a version of its software with PS3 support...
Take that Apple! Microsoft has allegedly donated money to the famous iPhone hacker Geohot for his legal battle against Sony. In case you didn't know by now, George "Geohot" Hotz is in a legal skirmish with Sony because he jailbroke the PS3.
Since Geohot represents the jailbreak community, he obviously isn't on Apple's good list. Perhaps Microsoft wanted to take a little jab at Apple by supporting one of the most famous iPhone hackers...

Earlier this week, we announced a giveaway of 5 ZAGGsparq mobile chargers amounting to $100 per unit. We reviewed the ZAGGsparq, and the folks at ZAGG decided to give us five ZAGGsparq's for a giveaway to our readers! That's a total value of $500. Not too shabby.
Winners of the ZAGGsparq giveaway have been selected. Congrats to the five lucky winners!
Following Verizon Wireless CEO, Dan Mead's remarks regarding the short lines on Verizon's iPhone 4 launch day, Mead also indicated that Apple will eventually offer mobile products that can use Verizon's Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G network.
This lines up perfectly with the speculation earlier this month that Apple was working on an LTE iPhone...
Annoyed by that flash effect that happens every time you take a screenshot? Apparently you're not alone.
No Screenshot Flash is a tweak that performs the exact duties that its name implies.
Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that you can pretty much customize every facet of your iPhone, but is such a simple tweak even worth your time? Does it improve the user experience in any way?
Apple has removed the paid version of MobileMe from its retail stores and website. You can now only sign up for a free 60-day trial on the web.
Apple is holding an event next week, and MobileMe will most likely be revamped alongside the introduction of a new iPad model. Up until now, MobileMe has cost $99/year. There's a good chance that Apple will make their cloud-based service free for customers, or introduce some type of tiered, "pro" pricing alongside the standard MobileMe package.
I have to admit, I was quite upset when Apple bought Lala.com, bringing an abrupt end to what was an awesome music streaming service. But the prospect of Apple introducing their own streaming service using Lala's technology quickly put my pain at ease.
At least that's been the ongoing rumor since the Lala deal went down back in December of 2009. Ever since, the rumors have swirled regarding Apple's next move, climaxing with the purchase of a gargantuan 500,000 square foot server farm capable of handling all of that extra bandwidth.
Will Apple finally introduce a streaming service similar to Lala, or are they headed in a different direction?
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that's it's very likely that the iPhone 5 will be bigger, faster, stronger.
Right on the heels of rumors that the iPhone 5 will feature a bigger screen, what appears to be the digitizer for Apple's next generation phone has leaked into the wild.
The leaked part showcases what is obviously a slimmed down bezel that would allow for increased screen size. Earlier rumors suggested that the screen size would increase by half-an-inch to 4 inches, and this new leaked part certainly lends evidence to that...
Proving that they do have something against Apple, the fine folks at Consumer Reports have refused to give the Verizon iPhone their official recommendation. After testing the Verizon iPhone for antenna issues, Consumer Reports determined that the same "antennagate" issue that plagued the original iPhone 4 on AT&T also plagues the CDMA version of the iPhone.
Despite the Verizon iPhone being generally well received by the public and press, the stubbornness of Consumer Reports prevails with their verdict of judgement.
Man, oh man; just what would we do if we didn't have the Internet to fall back on as an excuse?
As we've pointed out in the not too distant past, the Verizon iPhone 4 wasn't as well adopted as the talking heads at Verizon wanted us to believe.
Now they've given us a reason as to why we saw virtually no one queuing in line on that fateful morning, February 10th...
Apple recently introduced a new connection technology dubbed "Thunderbolt." In Apple's MacBook Pro refresh, the Thunderbolt port has been added as a new wired connection architecture that Apple hopes will unify its connection technologies.
The key feature for the Thunderbolt architecture is speed. Thunderbolt promises to be lighting fast (pardon the pun) and offer incredible speeds for data transfers. The need for Thunderbolt is evident for the desktop, but it's not a stretch to imagine that Thunderbolt could eventually make its way to iOS devices.
