iPad 3 to Receive HD Display?
The Apple iPad rumor wheel never stops turning and for those of us out here on the rim it can sometimes be difficult to wade through all the dross and find that one relevant and hopefully plausible little gem of potential truth. The iPad 3 is currently expected by many on the web to go on sale in the US sometime around March. So with this possible release date looming closer and closer what can we say we know about the iPad 3?
Apple Media Event Coming in Late Jan
Apple is rumored to be planning a big media-centric event in New York (yes, The Big Apple) in late January. However, from the sound of things it’s sounding like it mightn’t be too big of a deal. The word around the web is that we aren’t going to be seeing anything major like an iPad 3, iPhone 5, iPhone nano, new iPod Touch or any other kind of hardware beginning with “i”. In fact, it’s sounding like the event will be mostly focused on publishing or advertising.
iPad Mini Rumours Surface Again
Amongst the bevy of retina screen/to-the-edge displays/super battery/keyboard/even more outlandish iPad rumors from last season one in particular seemed to be the most wide-spread: the iPad Mini. We thought the rumor had died, due to no other evidence than it inexplicably disappearing from tech blogs and geek forums alike.
iPhone 4S Review
The iPhone 4S, as part of the iconic iPhone line, is obviously doing very well for itself in the market. However, directly after its release there was a lot of discontentment demonstrated throughout the online community. While the negative reactions were initially more abundant that one might expect for an Apple product, things seem to be quieting down a bit now as people come to terms with the fact that there isn’t going to be any iPhone 5 this time around.
iPhone 5 Quad-Core 720p Rumor
Well the hoopla over the iPhone 4S is starting to die down now and it seems it’s about time to get back in to the iPhone 5 rumor business. The latest goss we’re starting to hear about the place is that Apple is currently testing out quad-core applicability, as well as considering upping the res on the iPhone 5 to 720p.
iOS 5.1 Beta Available for Developers
There’s been a lot of recent news regarding iOS 5 and its various updates. First there was the big release, then iOS 5.0.1 came short on its heels due to some battery issues. Next we received a report that the iOS 5.0.2 fix, that was designed to rectify issues with iOS 5.0.1, had been delayed. Now we’ve received news that the iOS 5.1update has already been seeded to developers. Don’t worry, we’re having trouble keeping up too.
Apple Delays iOS 5.0.2 Fix
If it seems like only yesterday that iOS 5 was finally released with all its upgraded notification/integration splendor then that’s because you’re not far off the mark. In the short time since iOS 5’s release Apple has not only had to hastily release the 5.0.1 patch to fix some pretty varying battery-life issues, but also begin some even hastier work on 5.0.2 to fix the issues that were created or worsened by the introduction of 5.0.1.
Google Music Cloud Announcement
A couple of hours ago Google held its official Google Music announcement live over the web. We tuned in to see what kind of goodies Google would be offering with its new cloud tunes service and whether or not it could potentially contend with the other cloud options that are cropping up everywhere. From what we heard we found ourselves tentatively impressed.
Say Goodbye to Android Flash
Adobe has kicked in the towel when it comes to its mobile Flash service, finally admitting that a focus on HTML5 makes more sense when it comes to mobile video content. It won’t mean much to iPhone users, but for many Android fans Flash support was one of the bigger reasons to make the switch between the two competing Android and iOS operating systems (OSes).
More iOS Rumors
Let’s face it, the iOS rumor mill is never going to stop. This week we’ve got a few new ones to report on. If you haven’t heard of Siri then we’d usually ask you where you’ve been hiding yourself for the last couple of months, but seeing as we have a bit to go through we’ll just quickly fill you in. Siri is Apple’s brand new Native Talk app, that allows users an impressive range of functionality simply by speaking to their iPhone 4S handsets. We know what you’re thinking; that you’ve heard this all before and voice-command interfaces always turn out to be all talk and no action. Well by all accounts Siri actually works really well and seems to be the most impressive voice recognition integration anyone has yet seen on a smartphone.
