RAGE HD receives iOS 5 support, new episodes, and melee in latest update

Even though the console version of id Software’s RAGE left much to be desired, that doesn’t mean RAGE HD for iOS isn’t a terrific game. In fact, the company just released an update that puts more goodness into an already impressive package. The latest update for RAGE HD brings a slew of enhancements such as iOS 5 support, the ability to melee your enemies, and two new episodes called Kraken and Aqueduct which can be purchased for only $.99 via in-app purchase.

Motorola Mobility files lawsuit against Apple citing patent infringements

Motorola Mobility is suing Apple for infringing on six of its patents. The patents in question are related to wireless antennas, software, messaging, and data management — quite a bit of the entire experience of a smartphone is on the line here. Apple allegedly uses these patents in the iPhone 4S and iCloud. The lawsuit was filed in Florida today and it’s just the latest battle in the larger smartphone patent wars. “Apple’s infringing activities have caused and will continue to cause Motorola Mobility irreparable harm, for which it has Read more

Apple: iPhone 4S had ‘breath-taking customer reception’

Apple had even more to say about its record-breaking Q1 2012 earnings in its quarterly earnings call. Apple CEO Tim Cook  attributes the all-time high of 37 million iPhones sold last quarter to “breath-taking customer reception” of the new iPhone 4S, which was introduced in October of 2011. It would seem “breath-taking customer reception” just about hits the nail on the head. Matt Richman made a very interesting point about iPhone sales year after year thus far: “In 2009, Apple sold more iPhones than it did in 2007 and 2008 Read more

Apple’s earnings break records: 37 million iPhones, $46 billion revenue

Apple just announced its Q1 2012 earnings with big numbers and big profits. The company made a record $46.33 billion in revenue and a record net profit of $13.06 billion — in a single quarter. The introduction of the iPhone 4S and the continued success of the iPad 2 really helped to boost its numbers into the near-absurd category. Gross margin was up to 44.7 percent this quarter as compared to 38.5 percent in Q1 2011, but don’t be fooled: gigantic sales numbers played an even more important role in Read more

Absinthe A5 jailbreak tops one million downloads in 24 hours

pod2g and Chronic Dev Team’s jailbreak reached one million downloads within the first 24 hours of availability. The jailbreak, dubbed Absinthe, was released on Friday as the first untethered solution for iOS 5 users. It only supports the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 which both have Apple’s dual-core A5 chip inside, hence the nickname “A5 jailbreak.” Clearly, there’s still a very high demand for jailbreaking. These stats only include downloads on Mac OS X, since the Windows version was posted after the first 24-hour period. I wouldn’t be surprised if pod2g Read more

A tale of souls and swords, eternally retold as Soul Calibur is released on iOS

Namco Bandai is getting set to release the next iteration of its popular Soul Calibur series with Soul Calibur V later this month, and what better way to celebrate the game’s upcoming release than to release one of the most influential console and arcade fighting games, Soul Calibur, onto iOS. I honestly can’t think of a better way unless we’re counting watching a woman dressed up as Ivy grabbing her ankles. Bent over Ivy trumps everything. Soul Calibur for iOS is quite the gaming beast as all 19 characters from Read more

Morgan Stanley: iPhone 5 to be slimmer, include 3G and 4G LTE

Since 2006, we’ve come accustomed to the usual Apple iPhone rumors as the new year rolls in. Well, the latest “report” claims the Cupertino-based company’s next-generation iPhone will be slimmer than the current iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S models. This has been talked about for months as many have suggested a new redesign of the handset would launch in the Fall of 2011, which we later found not to be the case. Now, rumor has it,  the upcoming iPhone 5 will sport a quad-mode chipset that will work across all 3G Read more
