For years we've talked about the possibility of a lower cost "iPhone Nano" to compliment Apple's flagship handset. It was argued that the cheaper device would help the Cupertino company address the low-end market, and make inroads with prepaid customers.
Although the rumored Nano wasn't announced at Apple's iPhone event last month, Tim Cook's team did introduce two low-cost handsets: the $99 8GB iPhone 4, and the free iPhone 3GS. The company now covers nearly every smartphone price point possible...
After a little bit of a delay, iTunes Match was released to the public today. iTunes Match is a service that's built into the latest version of iTunes. It lets you match, upload, and play music on a variety of different devices.
This is an extremely cool service that allows you to take your entire iTunes library with you on the go, even if you have a measly 8GB iPhone.
Unfortunately, we don't think that Apple has done a very good job explaining the full benefits of iTunes Match. For that reason, we've created this ultimate iTunes Match tutorial, FAQ, and video walkthrough...
Ever since Tim Cook and company committed to a $37 billion dollar 4th quarter, analysts have been watching Apple's every move. The forecast is nearly $10 billion dollars above its previous quarter's revenue, which was an all-time record for the iPhone-makers.
Getting to $37 billion this quarter isn't going to be easy, even with the holidays coming up. Apple will have to sell a lot of iPhones and iPads to hit the mark. And this could prove to be extremely difficult, considering some folks believe demand for Apple's tablet is fading...
Apple released iTunes Match today, and users can now access their entire music library in iCloud on any authenticated iDevice running iOS 5. On the iPhone and iPad, iTunes Match can be easily enabled in the device's Settings.
Once enabled, iTunes Match will allow you to download and start playing any uploaded track at any given time on multiple iDevices.
For over a year and half, the iPad has undoubtedly been the king of all tablets. With virtually no competition, it wasn't too hard for Apple's tablet to eat a large chunk of the market in a space where no one else seems to get it.
Enter Amazon and the Kindle Fire, a tablet running a version of Android completely tailored to Amazon's needs, so much so that it doesn't have anything to pinpoint it as an Android device but the OS name.
The Kindle Fire is officially launching tomorrow, and, as usual, a few tech gurus have had access to the tablet a few days before everyone else. The reviews are coming in, and it's not as pretty as you'd expect...
When Apple first unveiled the iPad in January of 2010, the world immediately began debating whether the first real mass-market tablet was going to be used as a content consumption device, or whether it could also be used to create that content. Almost two years later the argument has almost settled on the side of consumption, and video is one of the types of content we're consuming.
In fact, according to a new report by analytics firm Ooyala.com, we're watching more video on our tablets than on desktop computers these days.
To be exact, the report suggests that we're now watching around 30% more video on our tablets, such as the iPad, than on desktops...
If there was ever any doubt about just how seriously Apple is taking the transition from the 'trucks' of the old generation, MacBooks and Macs, to the new generation of touch-enabled iOS devices, then this should end it. According to a report by 9to5Mac, Apple is planning to change the way it operates its Genius Bar, by incorporating the iPad into its workflow.
Currently, Apple's staff use MacBook Pros to help diagnose issues and then work to rectify them, but it would appear that the company will now begin using iPads running custom software.
The change sees Apple replace its own premium notebooks with tablets, offering increased portability to the technical customer service process...
Apple released iOS 5.0.1 to the public today, and with it comes the need to jailbreak. Fortunately, we've got that need covered using the latest version of RedSn0w 0.9.9b8.
Keep in mind that many are warning those wishing to jailbreak to stay away from iOS 5.0.1 — especially iPhone 4S owners and those who have no way to downgrade firmware back to a prior version.
This is a tethered jailbreak, so those wanting untethered only need not apply. But if you're happy to use tethered to hold you over until then and if you've read all of the warning labels, check out our video tutorial that shows your how to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 inside...
It's easy to venture into Cydia and download your favorite apps and tweaks, but what if you want to save the files that you download for backup or later use?
There are tools like PKGBackup that save the links to the apps and tweaks that you have on your device, but it's not as straightforward to backup and save the actual .deb files responsible for installing the packages that we use.
What to do? In the following video tutorial, I'll show you how to easily download deb files using OpenSSH and a handy FTP client...
If you're a jailbreaker, then you realize how important OpenSSH is to the jailbreak community and you likely use it often.
But if you're new to the world of jailbreaking, you might not see the benefit right off hand.
