Apple wants to own iPad3.com

With the "new" iPad, Apple stopped applying numerical suffixes to distinguish iPad iterrations, a practice many expect to continue with a sixth-generation iPhone (think "the new iPhone").

The fact doesn't stop the company from fighting to secure ownership of the attractive iPad3.com domain name. Looks like someone's plans to pocket a little profit from serving a bunch of ads on a single homepage just got curbed by Cupertino...

Come again? How much is the iPhone and iPad nation worth?

A bunch of numbers have been tossed around thus far to illustrate how valuable the iOS ecosystem and its users are to Apple, but this tops it all. According to none other than Goldman Sachs, a total combined value of the iPhone and iPad customer base is nearly $295 billion (you read that right).

You don't want to pass on this one, but there are some caveats you should know about...

Google Chrome coming to iOS today

After many rumors, and much speculation, Google has confirmed that their popular Chrome browser is indeed iOS bound at day two of the Google I/O developers conference. When will we see Chrome come to iOS? Today.

Google Chrome has been developed to support both the iPhone/iPod touch and the iPad. This means that all of your bookmarks and other information synced to your Google ID should automatically be available once your sign into Chrome on iOS.

For Chrome desktop users, this means that our desktop and mobile browsing experiences may finally be in sync with one another. Needless to say, as an avid Chrome user, I'm totally pumped for this.

Analyst tells Apple investors not to worry about Nexus 7

Google grabbed some major headlines yesterday during its I/O keynote. The company unveiled a number of new products including the next version of Android, an orb-shaped media player, and an all-new tablet.

The tablet, in particular, has Apple shareholders asking questions. With its quad-core processor, and sub-$200 price tag, could it have a negative impact on Apple's iPad sales? This analyst doesn't think so...
