A New(?) iPad Surfaces
A new iPad has arisen, yet this time it seems like only one thing has been changed: storage. What we’ll hopefully end up calling the “iPad 4th Generation, 128GB” comes with, you guessed it, a whopping 128GB of on-board storage. Other than that the only other addition is the new price tag of US$799 for the WiFi-only version and US$929 for the full 4G LTE model. Some readers may recognise how close that price tag is to the US$999 of an 11-inch Macbook Air.
Hopes For the Mobile World in 2013
We have high hopes for the mobile world in 2013. If the past few years are any indicator, mobile technology should move forward an impressive amount within the next 12 months. Usually what we’ve seen is a lot of rumor and speculation for the first half of a year followed by an absolute explosion of new devices and services in the months from July to October.
Huge Update For Flickr's iOS App
Flickr released a major update today to their iOS app. Much of the talk has been about the addition of filters (ala Instagram) but there's a lot more to it that is worth a look. The contacts view. Double tap = favoriting/liking the photo (chalk up another nod to Instagram). You can flick across to see more pics from any one contact, or down to see more contacts. Tap on a photo to go through to a details page & comment.
Google Maps Hits App Store
Yes, you read that correctly. Google Maps is finally available on the iPhone… again. After Apple’s infamously failed Maps catastrophe, iPhone users can finally gain access to the world’s most used navigation service. It seems that, despite doing its best, Apple simply wasn’t able to compete with Google in terms of, well, quality.
The Mobile World After Nov 2012
A little over 12 months ago we posted an article about the mobile world after August 2011. In it we detailed some of the more interesting things that had happened that year, as well as some of the bigger stories. We also tried our best to get our readers to take a step back and look at the tech world from the outside.
A New iPad Just 7 Months Later
Amongst the initial rumours and hearsay flying around the web surrounding Apple’s most recent keynote was no hint of a new, fully-fledged iPad 4th generation. Indeed, no one seems to have expected Apple to come out with a new iPad just over half a year after the 3rd generation iPad debuted with its retina display.
Apple iPad Mini Announced
We’ve been hearing rumours about it for what seems like ages and now Apple has finally unveiled the newest addition to its ever-growing family – the iPad Mini. As expected, the iPad Mini is a toned-down version of the iPad line with less attention paid towards high end specs and more of a focus on keeping the iPad experience fluid while bringing down the starting price.
iPad Mini Becomes More Certain
We’ve been hearing a lot of talk about a mini version of the iPad since before the New iPad (3rd generation iPad) hit shelves. Despite its failure to appear back then, talk of its impending release has spread across the internet with a steadfast resilience, growing in momentum and scale all the while. Now, we’re finally hearing talk, from the Wall Street Journal no-less, that production of the iPad Mini has begun.
iPhone 5 Review
The iPhone 5 needs no introduction. Apple’s latest and greatest addition to its iconic line of smartphones has burst on to the scene with all the excitement and hoopla of its predecessors. Once again we have seen huge lines of eager buyers on launch day (myself included, if you’d care to read my thoughts on the experience) and record-breaking sales.
