The last 12 months have been a wild ride, as we started the year with many of us wondering how the Xoom and PlayBook could compete against the iPad, how would HP use webOS, what the iPhone 5 would look like and if 4G LTE would really come to America in a big way. There…
There are a few things you can bet on during the Consumer Electronics Show: companies will try to lure people in with swag and eye candy, you’ll be sick of Vegas by the time it’s over and that Microsoft will be giving the opening day keynote. Well, it looks like that last tradition is coming…
The International Trade Commission ruled in favor of Apple yesterday when it found that HTC infringes on one of Apple’s patents in the US. The regulatory body instituted a ban that will go into effect in April 2012. Instead of decrying the decision, the handset maker seemed please with the overall ruling. HTC points out…

Two months ago we published a report from the Taiwanese news agency Economic Daily News that said LG Display and AU Optronics had sent Apple samples of a 7.85 inch LCD that might one day end up being at the heart of a new iPad. At the time it made a lot of sense since…
