With the holidays quickly approaching, you might find yourself scrambling for gift ideas. But what do you get for the person that has everything? How about a jacket that will allow them to carry everything?
Enter AyeGear, the must-have overcoat for the technology-laden traveler. Not only does the jacket protect you from the elements, it also houses 18 pockets that will hold everything from your iPad to your iPod touch...
If you're using Skype for iOS version 3.0.1 or older, you might want to think twice before opening messages from people you don't know. According to a security expert, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Chat section of Skype for iOS on both the iPhone and iPod touch.
Apparently, Skype fails to properly encode the "full name" of the sender of an incoming chat message, allowing the sender to add malicious JavaScript code that can be executed as the message is opened...
Apple is expected to hold its next iPhone/iPod event in the next few weeks, and a new report claims that the Cupertino company will release a white iPod touch with minor improvements alongside new iPhone hardware.
Most of the rumors have been focused on the upcoming iPhone, with dozens of part and case leaks pointing towards similar designs. On the iPod front, not much has been said, until now...
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...
If you ask me, the iPhone 4's design is the epitome of phone designs. It's why we're going on a year and a half since it was released, and there still isn't a device that truly rivals its beauty or function.
I wasn't really worried about Apple straying too far from this design, because in general, they tend to stick with what works for a decent length of time, e.g. the iMac, Mac Pro, etc. All of those products have basically remained the same over the past few years, sans a few minor tweaks here and there.
But then, Case-MateGate happened; purported iPhone 5 mockups along with them, and stuff just got real...
After we spent years begging Apple to finally add multitasking to iOS, the boffins in Cupertino relented, bringing the joys of multiple running apps to our iPhones and iPads. Well, sort of.
Apple's implementation has many-a-geek arguing over whether it really is multitasking. Once you get past that little hiccup, it works surprisingly well. But could it be better?
The launch of iOS multitasking hasn't stopped the creative types from showing us how they think multiple apps should be handled, and a new video caught our eye today, and we're rather impressed...
When iMessage was first announced by Apple way back in June, we all got very excited. The prospect of replacing SMS with something a little more 21st century appeals to us all, and getting rid of those ridiculous carrier charges is somewhat of a bonus.
What would really make iMessage stand out from most alternatives, and especially SMS, is the ability to send and receive messages from computers, as well as our iPads, iPod touches and iPhones. Currently, that's not possible, though as we've already made clear, other solutions already offer compelling alternatives.
New code discovered in OS X Lion's version of iChat suggests that iMessage may actually be coming to the desktop...
The race to kill SMS is on. Instant messaging apps have flooded both the App Store and Android Market, with WhatsApp and others seeking to replace SMS by offering free, cross-platform messaging in (sometimes) fancy-looking apps that allow not only the sending and receiving of text, but also the sending of pictures and video.
Even Samsung is set to join the fray, with ChatON being the company's first foray into the world of instant messaging. Samsung promises to release apps on just about every platform. It seems that everyone has it in for SMS, and the carriers must surely know what's going. And let's not forget Apple's iMessage...
Beta testing is a pretty big part of developing iOS apps these days. Once upon a time, a developer could throw an app out there and fix bugs as they went along, but with competition at its fiercest these days, that would be suicide for most. Most apps have so much competition, users will just move onto the next big thing, or find a replacement that works better. Bugs kill apps, and dead apps kill developers.
Beta testing is vital, and Testflight makes it super easy for both the tester and the developer alike...
If you're the kind of person who likes to play around in the snow, probably with a pair of skis or a snowboard, then chances are you're familiar with the problem of finding a way to listen to your music while flailing around in the white stuff. See, it's a bit cold out there, and taking your gloves off to skip a track or change the volume on your iPhone isn't that fun.
New gloves from Burton, manufacturer of snowboards and the like, aim to fix that little problem once and for all, by embedding iPod controls right into the fabric of some truly magical gloves...
Yesterday, we reported that the iPhone 5 might not receive the bump in storage that some have been expecting. Rumors swirling around a screen-grab from a Vodafone inventory listing, suggests that the iPhone 5 will arrive in one of four flavors — a black 16GB or 32GB option, and a white 16GB or 32GB option — 64GB of storage capacity was nowhere to be seen.
Now, at first, that might seem weird considering that Apple's created 64GB iterations of the iPod touch and iPad lineup. But iCloud is right on the horizon, and with it, Apple has effectively eliminated the need for increased local storage capacity in their mobile devices. Check inside to see why...
There are good ideas in this world, and then there are bad ideas. Giving your $650 iPhone to a young child has to rank amongst one of the worst ideas we've heard of for a long while, but that's exactly what Fisher Price wants us to do. The toy company has created a handy-dandy little iPhone case for that exact purpose.
Dubbed the "Laugh and Learn Apptivity Case" and set to go on sale next month, the case protects your iPhone or iPod touch while a 6-36 month-old child does its best to eat it, drool on it, or do other generally bad things to it...
