ITC: Motorola does not infringe on Apple’s patents
Apple suffered a setback today in its legal battle against Android. The US International Trade Commission ruled that Motorola’s smartphones do not infringe on three Apple patents cited in a complaint that was picked up by the ITC in November 2011. This is a preliminary ruling and subject to approval by the full six-person commission. Apple declined to comment on the ruling, while Motorola said it was pleased. This case is one of many involving Apple and other technology companies. The Cupertino company is actively pursuing lawsuits against HTC, Motorola and Samsung. It, likewise, is being counter sued by … Read more

Apple dating site Cupidtino releases iPhone app

New users can create or edit a profile and see a list of people who are checking it out, while experienced users … Read more

Dedicated Apple departments coming to Target stores
Target and Apple are partnering up to bring mini-Apple stores into Target stores. These Apple stores would be dedicated departments to shop for all Apple products without having to navigate around the store. The Apple departments would initially be in 25 Target locations, but if proven a success, it’s very likely we’ll see a nationwide rollout. Best Buy has had a similar concept in place for some time. Most locations have a dedicated area for the full range of Apple products. A glowing Apple logo seemingly floats above all the products … Read more

CES 2012: TomTom app for iOS gets your social networks involved
TomTom is showing off a preview of version 1.1 of its app for iPhone and iPad at CES 2012. The update will bring a social aspect in to what is normally an individual travel experience. Don’t assume TomTom is trying to snag a piece of the success known as Waze Social GPS. TomTom seems to be taking a different approach to social navigation. Instead of creating somewhat of a social network within itself, the TomTom app will soon be able to grab information from existing social networks such as Facebook and … Read more

Apple issues invites for an event due to take place next week (January 19th) in New York City
Seven days from now Apple will be hosting an event in New York City at the Guggenheim Museum where they’ll be holding an “education announcement”, which we can only assume will be their entrance into the textbook market. If you read Walter Isaacson’s book Steve Jobs, you’re already familiar with Steve’s urge to disrupt the state of education in America. He spoke about how textbooks are too heavy, how they get out-dated too quickly, and how there are too many special interests involved when in fact it should be the … Read more

T-Mobile’s Chief Technology Officer on the iPhone 5: “The next chipset will support AWS”
If you ignore the tiny regional players, it’s pretty much accepted that America has four wireless operators: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Three of them now sell Apple’s iPhone, yet T-Mobile doesn’t, why is that? It all comes down to which frequencies T-Mobile decided to use for 3G, namely the “AWS” spectrum. AWS stands for Advanced Wireless Services and it uses the 1700 MHz band for uploading data and the 2100 MHz band for downloading data. Right now there are only a handful of operators using AWS, the largest being … Read more

Apple acquires flash memory company Anobit
Apple confirmed it has acquired flash memory parts maker Anobit. The company is based in Israel and has been vital in making flash storage for devices such as the iPhone and iPad. The acquisition will help Apple in the long-run with its clear shift toward an all-flash future — flash storage, that is. As one familiar with Apple might expect, Steve Dowling, spokesperson for the company, wouldn’t go into detail about the plans or goals for the Anobit acquisition. “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time and we … Read more

Amazon launches iPad Kindle eBook store
Amazon introduced a Kindle store optimized specifically for the iPad today. It’s not a native app available in the App Store, so don’t think Amazon gave into Apple’s strict in-app purchasing rules. Rather, the iPad-optimized Kindle store is accessible at amazon.com/iPadKindleStore. It only works when typed into Safari on iPad. Once there, you are greeted with a horizontal list of book covers representing the editors’ picks. In the left column is all the main categories of eBooks as well as some of Amazon’s featured sections like New York Times Bestsellers, … Read more

Latest iOS 5.1 beta shows that Apple is indeed working on a quad core processor
Whenever Apple posts a beta of of software that they’re working on, they usually try their best to scrub any clues as to products that are yet to be released. They don’t always succeed though in hiding things such as evidence that there’s a successor to products already out on the market. That being said, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Apple’s working on what will eventually be called the iPhone 5, and iPad 3. This latest software beta however, for iOS 5.1, is different. In it … Read more

iPhone 4S top-selling phone on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint
A report from Canaccord Genuity concludes that the Apple iPhone 4S was the top-selling phone on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint in November. Raise your hand if you’re surprised. No hands? I thought so.

Further, our checks indicated strong global share gains,” Michael Walkley of Canaccord Genuity writes. “With the iPhone 4S launching in new markets … Read more

Is Siri causing iPhone users to go over data caps?
Apple’s golden-child voice recognition software, Siri, is causing owners of the iPhone 4S to use almost twice as much data compared with the handset’s predecessor, according to network firm Arieso. When Siri was first released to the masses it was called a “virtual personal assistant” and it is powered by a artificial-intelligence feature that allows iPhone users to schedule appointments, write text messages, check email and the local weather (checkout our review on Siri here). It is one of the major selling points of the iPhone 4S and it could … Read more
