The most exciting part of Apple’s iPad, for me at least, is the A4 processor inside. It’s “custom”, but what does that really mean? The mobile industry, like the PC industry, takes the best components from here, there, everywhere, slaps them together and then sells it to you. Unlike the PC industry however, the mobile…
‘Homerun Battle 3D’ Makes Cross-Platform Multiplayer Gaming Possible on the iPhone & DROID
One of the biggest issues plaguing the gaming scene is how divided all of the major platforms are. Playstation 3 players can only interact and play with Playstation Network users, Xbox 360 players have Xbox LIVE, and the Wii…. well, let’s just not even get into the Wii’s online service. When it comes to mobile…
Did iPad hype overshadow next-gen iPhone leak?
With all the hype and noise surrounding Apple’s iPad tablet announcement, it seems that the blogosphere may have overlooked a potential image of the next-generation iPhone (iPhone 4G) hanging out on top of what turned out to be the iPad. The photo of the next-generation iPhone looks strikingly similar to the current iPhone 3GS which…
Apple rolls out iPhone OS 3.1.3, plays with our emotions
There’s nothing like a minor point-update to the iPhone OS to play with our emotions, and Apple really knows how to play that game. The iPhone maker has rolled out iPhone OS 3.1.3 as what we’re hoping is the last minor update before we see iPhone OS 3.2, or even iPhone OS 4.0, rolling out…
iPad Packing a Camera After All?
Some interesting iPad news for you all this morning. Upon popping open a new article from Wired, it looks like the iPad may indeed ship with a webcam in-place. They detail a small dot above the screen, which, they presume is for a camera tucked away inside the black bezel. On top of that, Wired…

The good folks over at NeilCurtis.com did us all a favor and broke down the iPad keynote for those of us that simply don’t have the time to sit and watch the whole thing. Only the most important bits are here, as you’ll see in the video above. Of course this is all tongue-in-cheek… You’ve…
iPhone Dev Team brings iPhone data tethering back to life with redsn0w 0.9.3
The iPhone OS 3.0 and 3.1.2 firmwares have been jailbroken through various methods for some time now, but you may have noticed that you can no longer tether your iPhone. That’s because the latest fixes that Apple put into the iPhone OS 3.1.2 pretty much killed the data tethering (IPCC tethering) hack that allowed jailbroken…
Steve Jobs rips into Google and Adobe, mentions next iPhone ‘update’
If there’s one thing we like about Steve Jobs, it’s that he isn’t afraid to go on the record to say how Apple is better than competitors like Google and disappointing tech companies Adobe. We can’t say we like his sense of style (or lack thereof), but Mr. Jobs probably doesn’t care what we think…
Stephen Colbert Flexes iPad at the Grammys
Earlier tonight the Grammy Awards went down, and in case you missed it, Stephen Colbert was among the first to take the stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. In typical Colbert fashion, he ripped into one of the bigger names in the music biz, after pulling an iPad out of his jacket: ‘Jay-Z…
So when is Apple going to release a smart book? Not that many people want a smart slate. [iPad]
Say the iPad supported Flash, had a camera, and ran a new iPhone OS that had multitasking. It sounds great, but what about a keyboard? What is the iPad when you really sit down and think about it? It’s a device with a large display running an operating system designed for hand held devices. We…
