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.
New iPad's Quad-Core Lack is Fine
If we’ve said it once then we’ve said it a thousand times. Dual-core processors are cool, quad-core processors are cooler and neither of them are 100% necessary in the current mobile market. Yes, they’re faster and can handle more complex calculations. They also allow for better and faster apps to be developed. But right now there just aren’t that many available apps that require that much raw power.
Smaller iPad Launching with iPad 3?
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Apple has been testing out a new, smaller-screened tablet than the iPad and iPad 2 that could be released alongside the iPad 3 in March. The new display reportedly measures 8 inches diagonally, down from the 9.7 inch screen of the current iPad range.
Supposed Pic of iPad 3 Case Leaked
The web is buzzing today over a purported leaked photo of the upcoming iPad 3’s casing. As always with Apple rumors, we suggest you don’t put too much stock in this as it’s currently totally unsubstantiated. However, the images do convey some surprising information, should they turn out to be the real-deal.
A Pocket Sized 200" Movie Experience
We’ been secretly looking forwards to plausibly portable laser projectors ever since green lasers were perfected a few years ago and now it looks like our dreams are finally becoming reality. WOWee and MicroVision have teamed up to join PicoP laser projector technology with Gel-Audio based portable speakers, essentially creating a pocket-sized media service that offers a huge, 200 inch cinematic experience.
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.
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.
