Every college basketball fan's favorite time of the year is coming up, also known as March Madness. For those of you out of the loop, March Madness is the division I tournament for NCAA basketball, where college basketball's best teams duke it out to become the champion.
Like last year, there will be a March Madness app available to watch every game played. March Madness for iOS will be available March 7th, for only $3.99...
Yesterday morning, my friend and colleague Oliver Haslam laid out an interesting case for why he believes, despite overwhelming evidence, that Apple won't implement LTE technology into any of its mobile products this year.
Oliver thinks that because there aren't 4G networks in every corner of the world, and because current LTE devices suffer from issues like poor battery life, we won't be seeing LTE in the next iPad or iPhone. But I happen to think he's wrong...
Apple's latest legal hiccup, this time with display maker Proview, looked set to escalate into all-out war when the plaintiff suggested a ban on the importing and exporting of iPads in China. The latest on the situation may serve to calm fears in Cupertino however, with the news that such a move may not be easy to execute according to Reuters.
A full ban on the iPad would obviously prove disastrous for Apple, with the device being manufactured in China. A ban on exporting the tablet would effectively shut iPad sales down across the globe.
Thankfully for us, though not so much for Proview, Chinese customs authorities are erring on the side of caution, suggesting that a ban may be too difficult to enforce due to Apple's huge popularity...
Apple has seemingly told Amazon China to pull the iPad from sale in the country, according to a report from MIC Gadget.
The news comes as Apple is in the midst of a trademark battle in the region, with display maker Proview claiming to own said trademark for use inside China. Interestingly, Proview also claims to have had no knowledge of Apple's latest move, stating that the company had not requested Apple remove the iPad from sale in Beijing, which is where Amazon is located.
Unsurprisingly, Apple is currently refusing to comment on the situation...
Right, I'm going to come right out and say this before I go any further: I'm going to get a lot of stick for this, and the rest of the iDB team thinks that I've lost my mind, but I'm going to write this anyway. I don't think the iPad or iPhone is going to get an LTE radio. At least, not yet.
Now I know this flies in the face of what we are being told by just about everyone, including a very recent article by the Wall Street Journal. The general consensus is that Apple will indeed bring an iPad 3 to market during the coming weeks, and that said iPad 3 will be the first Apple device to come packed with an LTE radio for hooking up to super-fast 4G networks.
I, however, think you're all wrong. Here's why...
To say that folks are anticipating Apple to unveil a new version of its popular tablet sometime in the near future is an understatement. The company has launched a new iPad during the first quarter in each of the last two years — folks are expecting it.
We've heard a lot of chatter over the last few months regarding what the new iPad will look like and what new features it will contain. We've heard so much gossip, in fact, that it's been hard to keep track of it all. And that's why we've put together this rumor roundup....
Things are starting to look pretty bleak for Apple in China, at least in regards to its future iPad sales. The company recently lost a court battle with Proview, a computer monitor maker, who is claiming that it owns the iPad trademark in China.
Even though Apple is appealing the decision, retailers have already started removing iPads from their shelves. And according to a new report, Proview's lawyers are now trying to stop iPad shipments into the country as well...
Is there a new game of cat and mouse brewing? Reports from non-iPhone 4S Siri users indicate that there may be.
Apparently, Apple has altered its requirements for a successful Siri connection, adding a new token to the mix that has caused problems for those who connect to a 3rd party Siri server on non-iPhone 4S devices.
Are you one of them?
Following up its report last night that seemed to confirm Apple's next slate will contain LTE, The Wall Street Journal has just weighed in on more tablet gossip. According to the newspaper, the oft-rumored 8-inch iPad is real.
The iPad-mini has been talked about for months, with folks thinking that Apple would have to respond to Amazon's successful Kindle Fire. The rumor, however, has only been supported by hit-or-miss sites like DigiTimes — until now...
One of the most controversial rumors regarding the upcoming iPad 3 has been whether or not the tablet will feature 4G technology. While countries like the US and Canada have growing LTE networks, others won't see the tech for at least a year.
Tonight, the Wall Street Journal seemingly puts an end to the speculation. The world-renown newspaper is reporting that it has confirmed that both Verizon and AT&T flavored iPad 3s will include the next-generation wireless technology...
We've heard a couple of theories over the last few months regarding when Apple would finally unveil its next-generation tablet. Though earlier rumors suggested we could see the next iPad as early as February, most of the chatter now points to an early March launch.
This afternoon iMore weighed in on the tablet gossip, pinpointing March 7th as the date Apple will hold its event, and echoing previous reports of the slate's expected feature set...
The folks over at ThinkGeek are known, at least in the iOS community, as the creators of the popular iCADE accessory. The gaming cabinet turns your iPad into a mini-arcade system and is compatible with hundreds of games.
Now the team is looking to expand on its success with the new iCADE 8-Bitty game controller. Like the original iCADE, the wireless gamepad sports a familiar retro look and will work with a number of iOS devices and games...
