According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple has tapped Sharp as a display supplier for its next generation tablet. We've heard the news before from analysts and their "supply checks," but this obviously lends some credibility to the story.
WSJ believes the move is in an effort, by Apple, to diversify component suppliers for its products. And given the company's ongoing court battle with another display supplier (Samsung), it makes sense that it would want to do so...
With Black Friday finally over and the madness it creates beginning to dissipate, stores and online retailers are now taking stock and more importantly, counting the cash.
If Best Buy's online store is anything to go by, Apple's iPad has been the big seller this year, with all of the iPad 2 stock now unavailable to order due to high demand. Best Buy did offer a near $50 off discount on the iPad 2 yesterday.
But it's OK, Best Buy still has plenty of of Galaxy Tabs available for purchase...
Add Electronic Arts to the list of developers that are offering up big discounts on iOS apps this week. We've already seen major holiday sales from Sega and GameLoft, and now we're taking a look at some of EA Mobile's deals.
The game-maker is responsible for some of the App Store's most popular titles, including FIFA, Madden, Need for Speed, and The SIMS. And for a limited time these games, as well as several others, are up to 80% off...
It may have only been made available yesterday, but the first subscription-based iOS game service has already been pulled from the App Store with no explanation.
Big Fish Games had its app approved by Apple which, according to initial reports, offered subscription-based gaming for $6.99 per month. The app allowed the streaming of games from Big Fish Games' servers right to an iPad, with Apple taking their usual 30% cut of the revenues.
While Big Fish Games' seemed rather happy with themselves for being the first to offer games with a monthly subscription on iOS, it turns out that Apple isn't so keen, with the app now gone from the App Store...
During a highly anticipated media event last month, Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S. Although the handset looks similar to its predecessor, it includes a number of internal changes. Among those changes is the addition of the A5 dual core processor.
To show off the iPhone 4S' performance capibilities, Apple demoed the upcoming Infinity Blade 2 title from Epic games. The original Infinity Blade was a hit, and set the bar for in-game graphics. Well its successor doesn't just raise the bar, it smashes it...
Every now and then an app comes out that just makes sense. Most apps have their quirks, but few are able to, in the words of Steve Jobs, "just work."
We told you about Instacast when it originally launched on the iPhone, and Instacast HD has just been released for the iPad. If you like to listen to podcasts, Instacast is the app you've been waiting for.
Cover Flow has always been more eye candy than it is useful, but the usefulness it did have has always been hindered by its lagginess.
SmoothCoverFlow is a free jailbreak tweak available on Cydia that aims to eliminate the choppy feel that you get when scrolling through a large Cover Flow library. Does it work? Check out our video demonstration inside for the answer...
In September, Facebook unveiled one of the biggest changes to its user profiles since the social networking site launched in 2004: Timelines. The new addition takes boring news feed-based profiles and gives them a storyboard-like feel.
The feature not only makes profiles appear more personal, but also seems perfectly suited for a tablet display. Given Facebook's track record with iPad releases, however, don't expect it to incorporate Timelines into its iPad app anytime soon...
According to Flickr's image upload data, a lot of people use their iPhone as their main camera. Not only is the iPhone 4 the most popular camera (not smartphone, camera) on the photo-sharing site, but Flickr's top 4 cameraphones are iPhones.
And the iPad, well, we all know how popular Apple's tablet is. USBFever might actually be onto something with its new cable accessory that connects the two products, allowing users to transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad with little effort...
Yesterday, we started seeing Black Friday banners pop up on Apple.com. The top of the image read "Every gift list has its day," and was followed by a request for customers to return to Apple's online store on November 25th for a special one-day shopping event.
Given Apple's track record, we weren't expecting the kind of deep discounts that other retailers will be offering this week. And it looks like we were spot on. 9to5Mac has gotten ahold of a copy of Apple's Black Friday deals, and as last year, they seem fairly modest...
Apple unveiled its App Store subscription service in February of this year to mixed reviews. Publishers appreciated the opportunity to expand into the iOS ecosystem, and its millions of users, but they hated the terms.
The company has since revised its in-app subscription policy, and the service has grown to be moderately successful. So successful, in fact, that Apple has decided to open up the service to game developers as well...
To say that Apple dominates the tablet market would be an understatement. The iPad has been successful enough to not only run other companies out of the tablet-making business, but it has also been enough to make even PC manufacturers nervous.
We've seen statistics before regarding Apple's share of the tablet market, but we had no idea the numbers were this bleak for the competition. According to a recent NPD Group report, there has only been 1.2 million non-iPad tablets sold in the United States this year...
