As expected, Microsoft has just taken the wraps off of Windows Phone 8 — the latest iteration of its mobile operating system — during a nightclub-themed media event in California.
Similar to Apple's WWDC keynote, Microsoft took this opportunity to go over a handful of new features in the software. And so far, it looks fairly solid. Should Apple be nervous?
Apparently Microsoft isn't ready to give up the spotlight this week. Just 24 hours after unveiling its new Surface tablet, the company has sent out media invitations for a Windows Phone-related event.
Microsoft is set to hold its developer summit in California over the next two days. But the invites, which read "A sneak peek of the future of Windows Phone," specifically mention tomorrow morning...
The moment that you've all been waiting for is finally here. Apple's big WWDC keynote has started, and the company's fearless CEO Tim Cook has taken the stage.
As usual, Cook's kicking things off by going over some of Apple's sales numbers and other impressive accomplishments from the past couple of months...
In case you haven't picked up on it yet, tomorrow's a huge day for the Apple community. Not only is it Day One of WWDC, but we're also expecting the company to make a number of big announcements.
As presumed, there won't be a live video stream of tomorrow's media event. And a clip of the keynote won't likely be available until hours after it's over. But never fear, as usual, iDB has you covered...
Ever since the creation of iDB back in 2008, we have been focusing on everything jailbreak. We sure love reporting on news, rumors, and sharing tips and tricks, but the essence, the core of iDownloadBlog, is its devotion to the jailbreak community. That's what we love to do. That's in our DNA.
Our comprehensive and in depth coverage of everything jailbreak is probably the reason why you started reading us in the first place, and chances are, that's probably one of the reasons why you're still reading us today.
As a testament of our commitment to the jailbreaking cause, I am proud to announce today that iDownloadBlog is an exclusive sponsor of JailbreakCon 2012, the first jailbreak convention to ever take place in the United States...
We told you yesterday that JailbreakCon 2012, set to take place in San Francisco this time around, is to go ahead on September 29th. We also told you about a raft of speakers who will aim to try and replicate the success of last year's event, held in London. Now we're here to tell you about the availability of tickets, along with an early bird deal for those wishing to get in nice and early.
Available to order right now from the JailbreakCon website, tickets start at $65 as part of that early bird deal, with discounts available for multiple orders. There is also a discount for those wishing to order a VIP ticket, with $155 getting you preferential seating, entry into competitions and a JailbreakCon WWJC goody bag amongst other things...
The folks behind MyGreatFest, the world's first jailbreaking convention, have just announced that they have confirmed the date and location for its 2012 event: JailbreakCon.
Jailbreakers, tweak developers and iOS hackers will be gathering at the South San Francisco Conference Center in — you guessed it — San Francisco, California, on September 29th.
And wait until you see this list of guest speakers...
If you're anything like us, and if you're reading this you probably are, then you're the kind of person who likes to kick back with a coffee and enjoy a good Apple event in all its glory. That means on a big-screen TV, not hunched over a MacBook screen.
Now you can see the announcement of the iPad 3, sorry, new iPad, on a screen large enough to do it justice, with Apple now making the event available to download via iTunes.
That also means, dear friends, that you can also check the event out on your Apple TV. Like we did. Twice...
Apple's iPad event ended three hours ago, and things are just now starting to quiet down. As most of you know, today was a big day for the Cupertino company, who made a number of big announcements.
Apple introduced two new major products, along with some new software, and dropped some interesting info. And for those of you who had trouble keeping up with everything, we've created a nice little roundup...
It looks like a lot of our forecasts are materializing today, including the iPad 2 sticking around. We figured we'd see Apple continue to sell last year's tablet after today, with a bit of a price drop to appeal to a wider audience.
And that's exactly what it's doing. Apple just announced that it will be keeping the iPad 2 around for folks that aren't impressed with the new slate's features starting at just $399...
Apple's iPad 3 event has begun, and the company's CEO Tim Cook has just taken the stage to get things started. Judging by his words, the theme of today's announcements is going to be "post PC products" (duh).
As with every Apple event, the company is kicking things off by talking about numbers. After all, numbers are what define whether or not a company is successful. And judging by this data, Apple's doing pretty good...
Apple's highly-anticipated iPad 3 event is just half an hour away. But that hasn't stopped tipsters from coming forward with some last-minute information regarding today's announcements.
9to5Mac is reporting that it has just received a couple of tips from its always reliable "Mr X" source. It appears that 4G LTE iPads are already populating in Apple's inventory, as are the "mystery" accessories we've been hearing about...
