Apple Reportedly Working on iPad App to Compete With Cable Providers

Looking to take a break from the onslaught of next-generation iPhone rumors? Robert Scoble may have just the thing. The plugged-in blogger dropped a juicy tidbit on his Google+ page this morning regarding a secret Apple project.

Scoble is highly revered when it comes to insider information. Earlier today, he reported that Steve Jobs won't be attending Apple's iPhone event tomorrow, and it looks like that isn't all that the blogger has been hearing out of Cupertino...

The $12 Billion iPad Deal That Might Never Go Through

A few months ago we reported about Foxconn's plans to open a factory in Brazil where it would produce iPads. The $12 billion deal is now at risk, according to Reuters.

Citing government officials, Reuters reports that the deal is stagnant, due to disagreements on tax breaks, but also because of the country's unadapted infrastructures and the lack of skilled work force in Brazil...

Facebook to Launch iPad App and Project Spartan Early Next Week

According to MG Siegler of TechCrunch, Facebook is set unveil its long awaited iPad app and Project Spartan, the HTML 5-based mobile platform the company has been working on for months, early next week.

We know the iPad app has been ready for a while – which was confirmed by a former Facebook employee – but it appears that Spartan has been ready for quite some time, too. But the company has apparently been working out the kinks with Apple. Better than that, Facebook may unveil these new products at Apple's iPhone 5 launch next week...

Facebook to Launch iPad App at iPhone 5 Event?

Mashable just dropped somewhat of a bomb in the iOS world. According to the website, Facebook will be launching its long-awaited iPad app at the iPhone 5 event, which will most likely be scheduled next week.

We wouldn't normally pay too much attention about what Mashable says, but it's interesting to note that Robert Scoble has been hearing the same thing, as he mentioned last week on Google+...

Ex-Facebook Employee Tells All, iPad App Has Been Ready Since May

Last week, Facebook held its annual F8 conference. Much like Apple's WWDC, F8 is an event where Facebook shows off new innovations to the media and its developers.

While there were a number of announcements made on Thursday, there was something noticeably missing from Mark Zuckerburg's keynote: the iPad app. We know it exists, so why hasn't Facebook released it yet?

Apple Reportedly Cutting iPad Orders by 25% [Updated]

Are things not looking so bright for Apple? A report by JP Morgan this morning claims that the company has been cutting iPad orders from vendors. Several of those supply-chain vendors indicated that Apple cut iPad orders for the 4th quarter of 2011 by 25%.

This cut could translate in a drop from 17 million to 13 million iPads, something unheard of so far with Apple. Why such drastic measures?

Target Marks iPad 2 as Discontinued, New iPad Coming?

What ever happened to those rumors that claimed Apple would be releasing an iPad 3 (or iPad HD/Pro) this year? For a while there, pundits were claiming that the company was going to unveil a new tablet this Fall, alongside the iPhone 5.

But as with most tech gossip, the new iPad theory eventually lost traction. And then out of no where, TiPb kickstarted the debate again this morning by reporting that Target has been marking the iPad 2 as end of life...

iMessage to Become Part of Mac OS X Lion’s iChat?

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...

Sprint-Flavored iPad Will be Ready for the Holidays

Sprint has been grabbing some major headlines lately. Most of it has been due to the evidence mounting over the past month or so suggesting that the wireless carrier has finally reached an agreement with Apple Inc. regarding its popular smartphone.

But according to 9to5Mac, the iPhone isn't the only Apple-flavored product that the operator will be offering up this Fall. Apparently, Sprint subscribers will also be able to purchase an iPad with the carrier's data service built-in...

The Likely Reason Why There Will Be No 64GB iPhone 5

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...

An Inside Look at the Insane Measures Apple Takes to Protect Its Unreleased Products

It's no secret that Apple takes ridiculous security measures for its unreleased products that probably put the White House to shame. You can see Apple's intense determination to recover its lost iPhone prototype unfold in how an internal security team allegedly posed as police and searched a man's home after threatening his family.

There have been countless stories of the strict protocols that Apple takes to keep its secrets hidden from the preying public, and a new report has surfaced that offers some new insight into how Apple keeps its pre-release hardware on lockdown...

Apple Seeds iOS 5 Build to Carriers Along with a Few Surprises

The countdown to iOS 5's release has begun, with Apple now bringing its most valued and prominent carrier partners into the testing phase for the first time.

Carriers have now begun testing the latest build of iOS 5 internally, with reports suggesting that this build is a newer one than the beta 7 version being currently tested by developers...
