Patent Reveals Apple’s Work on Crack-Resistant Glass for Future Devices

Apple's recent iPhone design, the one featured on both the iPhone 4 and 4S handsets, has received a lot of praise over the past year. Pundits have compared the device's quality and timeless construction to that of an illustrious Leica camera.

But the handset's design also has one major downfall: its front and back glass panels. Its nearly all-glass outer casing has made the iPhone noticeably more fragile and susceptible to damages than other smartphones. But Apple is looking to fix that...

AT&T Concept Store Uses iPhones and iPads to Checkout Customers

With Apple proving that technology companies can indeed make the jump from the drawing board to the street, everyone else is taking a page out of the Cupertino playbook and offering their products directly to customers.

One of those companies is AT&T, one of North America's largest cell phone carriers. Despite already having their own stores across the country, AT&T's top brass clearly know that things can be improved when it comes to customer experience in-store.

With an eye on pushing its stores to a whole new level, AT&T is set to open a new concept store in Chicago, and at 10,000 square feet, it's their biggest yet...

iPhone Sees Near 50% Jump in Enterprise During 2011

While Apple is undoubtedly the darling of the consumer market, the enterprise has traditionally been one area that Apple has struggled to make a real impact.

It looks like Apple is going to succeed in the enterprise market, with the iPhone becoming more of a business tool than has been the case thus far. Improved Exchange support, strong security, and that all important 'cool factor' has led to more IT departments being happy to add iOS devices to their systems, and Apple is reaping the benefits...

What is Minecraft – Pocket Edition All About?

I'll be the first to admit, I'm terrible at Minecraft. In fact, I'd never played it until just a few hours ago when I downloaded it on my iPhone.

Needless to say, you Minecraft experts will probably find this video a bit humorous, perhaps even a bit appalling.

Nevertheless, I've put myself out there in order for you to see what Minecraft - Pocket Edition is all about. Check out our video inside...

You Can Take Free iOS Developer Courses From Stanford University Through iTunes U

When the App Store launched in the Summer of 2008, it turned (some) developers into millionaires practically overnight. Steve Demeter, the creator of Trism, reportedly earned a cool quarter million in just two months from his app sales.

And the number of success stories has multiplied over the last few years, as both the iOS platform and App Store have grown exponentially. Needless to say, business is good. So good, in fact, that more and more people are looking to get into app development...

Patent Reveals Apple’s Work on an iPod Phone

In January of 2007, Apple unveiled what would become one of the world's most popular handsets ever: the iPhone. Steve Jobs himself took the stage to show the world what the Cupertino company had been working on for the previous two years.

During his typical display of showmanship leading up to the unveiling, the CEO jokingly pointed to a photo of a poorly-designed iPod phone on the projector. While the audience laughed, it turns out that the iPod phone actually existed at one point...

AOL Releases Redesigned AIM iPhone App With New Features Galore

AOL's AIM messaging system is one of the most popular out there, but it hasn't really felt the AOL love of late. With clunky apps across all platforms and something of an identity crisis, AIM has become the established protocol that third-party apps have made a living out of supporting.

Now, AOL is seeking to give AIM some fresh paint, and has released details on its new apps, as well as making some of them available right now. One of those apps is now available for the iPhone via the App Store in both free, ad-supported and paid versions...

Type2Phone: Use Your Mac as a Bluetooth Keyboard for Your iPhone

Have you ever been using your Mac, received a text message on your iPhone, and thought, "I wish I could just use my Mac's keyboard to respond to the text?" What about emails or iMessages? Now you can, thanks to the new Type2Phone app.

The software, released earlier this month, allows Mac users to connect to their iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth. The Mac can then be used to type text on the iOS device. Users can even use the app to paste text from their Mac's clipboard to a text field in iOS...

Minecraft for iPhone and iPad Now Live in the App Store [Updated]

The pocket edition of Minecraft is now available for the iPhone and iPad in the App Store. We told you that Minecraft was coming to the iOS platform a couple of months ago, and now it's finally here.

Fans of the popular game will be pleased to know that the iOS version looks and feels just like its desktop counterpart. Minecraft for iOS lacks online play support, but there's still enough world-building fun to make it an attractive download.
