Now that classes are over and we approach the beginning of summer in about a week, the type of apps I use on a daily basis shift from productivity and utility to apps geared toward traveling or gaming — apps that promote a bit more relaxation, if you will. The top five apps I’ve been…
iPad drops slightly while Nook outpaces Kindle Fire in the tablet market
While it certainly comes as no surprise that Apple sells more iPads than any other tablet maker combined, a new report out of Chitika suggests that Apple’s iPad commands an even greater market share when it comes to internet browsing.

Installing iOS Beta 6 without a developer’s account

Judge grants Apple another crack at Motorola in patent infringement suit
Remember the judge that made news last week for dismissing Apple’s patent case against Motorola?

Videos: 12 minutes showing you what’s new in iOS 6
Apple’s event yesterday started at 20:00 for me here in Helsinki, which means as soon as it was done I went straight to bed. Now that I’m awake again, and working while New York and California are asleep, I’m surprised that none of the major websites have bothered making a video demoing what’s new in…
