  • Not much is known quite yet, but one thing is: Apple’s manufactures have been slipping lately (and over the last few years), and if this is the final design for the next-gen iPhone, it certainly wouldn’t surprise us. Gizchina.com has slipped a few photos in the direction of the internet recently, and the new design matches up pretty well with what we’ve been seeing as the iPhone 5 case. While we won’t be suggesting that this is definitely the final design, it certainly does look quite a bit like final hardware. One thing I must note is that, looking at the above image, looking closely, you can almost make out...

  • Confused? I know you are, but its just to fun to not to use that title. If you want this to make since, read the forum post below, its a fun read and worth it. Greetings. I am Motorola Droid Bionic # 228. You must know my story, please do not share any of this information with mainstream media, Verizon, or any Motorola employees. This is sensitive information and its spread could have dire consequences. Early in the year that was 2011, my earliest ancestor, Etna, was scrapped.

  • So far, Apple has been having a hell of a time in the courthouse, and I might say, this is a good thing for them. However, this is bad for HTC, clearly. The ITC has ruled that 2 of the 10 patents Apple accused HTC of infringing on in Apple’s favor; in other words, HTC was found guilty. If everything plays well for Apple, we can expect particular devices manufactured by the Taiwanese company to be banned from reaching US shores. Good for Apple favoritism, bad for those who love HTC. HTC general counsel Grace Lei responded back quickly with the following statement: “HTC will vigorously fight these two remaining patents through an appeal...

  • The last thing any company wants is a recall — and Apple certainly isn’t that company. In fact, in recent memory, I can’t think of a time Apple had to recall something. Sadly, those days are somewhat over. Due to an issue the second generation iPad 2′s are experiencing, a small number of them have been recalled. The company told Reuters “Duplicate MEID codes were flashed onto an extremely small number of iPad units for the Verizon 3G network”. The Mobile Equipment Identifier allows a device to connect to the internet over a network. These numbers, self contained to each device (one code per tablet, no duplicates allowed) are sent to...

  • iMessage is a clear competitor to Blackberry’s famous BBM service they launched a while back. And while this service is pretty awesome for Blackberry owners, the number of these owners is steadily decreasing, due mostly in part to the increasingly better features found on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7. At WWDC this last Monday, Scott Forstall and Greg Joswiak showed off Apple’s new competitor to the service: iMessage. iMessage is more than just a messaging service between iPhones; it’s a way to keep in touch with anybody using a device with iOS 5 built-on. The most interesting part of the service is probably the speed. You’ll know things like when a person begins...

  • The WWDC keynote has come and gone – and boy has it left us with our jaws open. While other people on this site will be covering other parts of the keynote, I will be talking about iOS 5, and the major overhauls that entail it. From the new notification system, to the deep iCloud and Twitter integration, iOS has really started to grow up even more. Let’s get a closer look. Deeper integration with Twitter: No longer does iOS make you open the application to use the application’s features (at least for Twitter), the new integration of the said app allows the OS to make better use of Twitter, from...

  • In a totally non-Apple fashion, the multi-national company has come forward and clean today and announced three major products: iOS 5, a new version of the company’s revolutionary mobile OS, iCloud, an apparent cloud based sharing tool to either help or replace MobileMe, and the final version or a preview of their next major operating system, Mac OS X Lion. This way of announcing products is very strange for Apple, so come back on the sixth of June for more surprises, we hope!
