While their weapons technology is state of the art (we hope), the US Army's smartphones seem to be outdated. A recent report by CNN claims that the Army is looking into doing some upgrading by making smartphones a requisite part of field gear.
Earlier this year, we saw the US government ditch their aging cell phones in favor of iOS devices, and now it appears it's the military's turn to go 2.0...
Apple just announced its earnings for its 3rd fiscal quarter this year, and, as expected, they exceeded projections. Both the iPhone and iPad set sales records for the month of June, making them major factors in this quarter's success.
Don't worry, we won't bore you with all of the little details from the earnings call, but there are some important figures we wanted to share. How important? Enough to make Apple's stock briefly touch $400 per share during after hours trading...
It's no secret that I'm a bit skeptical about Apple releasing another tablet this year. Heck, the iPad 2 just came out 4 months ago and is still selling rather well. Why bring another slate into the mix so soon?
Regardless of my opinion, the entire tech world seems to believe that a new iPad will be unveiled this Fall. We've heard multiple media outlets confirm the tablet talk in the last few weeks, and now DaringFireball's John Gruber chimes in...
With Apple expected to unveil a new iPhone (or iPhones) this Fall, the rumor mill is on a rampage. It seems like everyday we hear contradicting information from people with "inside sources," offering tidbits about Apple's plans for the next few months.
If you'll notice, there isn't another company that garners this kind of attention. Why is that? It's because over the last 30 years, Apple has been capturing the imagination of consumers with its wide range of consumer electronics...
As crazy as it sounds, Apple is rumored to unveil another tablet this year. Not even 6 months after the iPad 2 launched, rumor has it that the Cupertino company will announce a new slate this Fall.
Most reports claim this new tablet will be more of an addition to the current iPad 2 model, rather than a complete redesign. Keeping that in mind, graphic artist Guilherme Schasiepen designed this concept of what he thinks the next iPad might look like...
Now I'm as tired of these next-gen iPhone rumors as the next person, but when industry-insider Jonathan Geller says he's received iPhone information from a "solid source," it's hard to ignore it. Geller's site, Boy Genius Report, has been home to several Apple exclusives in the past.
His latest report confirms that Apple will indeed be launching two different versions of the iPhone this Fall. One iPhone 4S/5 model will replace the current iPhone 4, and there will also be a cheaper model for the low-end and prepaid markets...
It's heating up in the court the battle between Apple and, well, everyone.
The Cupertino outfit drew first blood in a battle with Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer HTC on Friday, with an ITC judge deeming that HTC had infringed upon two of Apple's patents. The two patents, however, may not be specific to HTC's handsets, and this opens the door to the possibility that other Android-powered smartphones may also fall foul, thanks to the ITC decision...
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the next iPhone as much as the next guy. But this might be a little extreme. The UK's Metro Online is reporting that somebody is already in line for the iPhone 5.
Even though the device isn't expected for another 1-2 months, Rob Shoesmith has already set up camp outside a London Apple Store in anticipation of the new gadget. No he's not crazy, this is actually all part of his plan...
Apple has begun to step up its game with patching jailbreak exploits in iOS. When Comex's PDF exploit was used in the latest version of JailbreakMe, Apple pushed out iOS 4.3.4 about two weeks later to combat the security hole.
Jailbreakers on 4.3.3 (4.2.9 for the Verizon iPhone) can stay on their current firmware to keep their untether, but the bad news is that Apple actually patched the untethered exploit that's been used by jailbreakers since iOS 4.1.
It seems like a long time ago since This is my next reported on the possibility of an iPad HD this year. 3rd-generation Apple tablet rumors have been running rampant. The next-gen iPad is expected to sport a screen with double the resolution of its predecessor, and debut sometime this fall.
Though the gossip is getting stronger, you can't help but be skeptical, as Apple's never released products in 6-8 month increments. Not only that, but how can they expect to ship a new tablet when they can barely make enough of the previous version to go around?
While most of us are painfully aware of the app piracy that goes on in the jailbreak community, I don't know if any of us knew it was this bad. TechCrunch highlighted a small iOS software firm last week that has witnessed first hand just how rampant the problem is.
GAMEized is the proud creator of FingerKicks, a simple $0.99 soccer (football) game for iOS devices. The app is the company's first entry into Apple's popular software platform, and it might just be their last...
Apple's iPhone isn't just the most advanced smartphone on the market, it's also a crime fighting super machine, thanks to a new app and accessory.
MORIS, which stands for Mobile Offender Recognition and Information System, promises to combine state of the art iris recognition with good old fashioned facial recognition, with the aim of making the identification of individuals a quick and easy process...
