Whenever you sell your electronics to a reseller (or even return an item to the store after having used it), you should always be sure to erase the data from it completely. You can’t count on the reseller or the store employees to do it for you.

We are inching our way closer and closer to the iPad 3 release date and as we get the days go by, we start to get a clearer picture as to the makeup of Apple’s latest tablet. Of course, this is an Apple product that we’re talking about here so no rumor, no matter how [...]

Apple is poised to announce the iPad 3 in early March. While there is plenty of speculation about the specs and the design of the next iPad, there has been little talk about the inclusion of Siri on the iPad 3. Siri is Apple’s assistant app that launched in October 2011 for the iPhone 4S. [...]
Apple has chosen the first week of March to launch the new iPad, likely the iPad 3. Apple announced the iPad 2 last year on March 2nd, and it looks like the company is planning to keep to the annual release cycle with a rumored iPad 3 announcement event for the first week of March. The new [...]
While Apple’s products are now clad in silver aluminum or steel and glass, once upon a time Apple had injected color into its products. If you’re aching for a berry colored iMac of yore or a solid old-school Macintosh model, there’s now a case for your iPhone to give you the satisfaction of being an [...]
How would you like it if your work bought its employees iPads to replace one of your tools? I would be pretty stoked myself. Where I work, I serve big data pipes to business using late 90s technology to administer it all. In all fairness, I got a fairly new desktop recently. Anyhow, this is [...]
Samsung won’t host a press conference at the Mobile World Congress this year according to an email sent to PC World. That doesn’t mean that Samsung won’t be announcing new devices, it just won’t be doing so on the main stage.

We just told you about the rear shell of an iPad that has been making the rounds today, a case that is purportedly one from the iPad 3/iPad 2 HD/iPad HD/iPad 2S and one that reveals a number of possibilities. Well, The Verge has chimed in with sources of their own who now say that [...]

Apple is expected to launch a new iPad in March or April, likely called the iPad 3. There are a number of iPad 3 rumors around that help paint a picture of what will make the iPad 3 different from the iPad 2. Rumors are great, but intelligent iPad 3 predictions from a man who [...]
We expect that Apple will announce the iPad 3 and iPad 3 release date in March, which means those of us with an iPad 2 are starting to look for a way to sell our iPad 2 to help finance our upgrade to the iPad 3. The idea of selling your old gadgets is not [...]
Photographers use the iPhone and iPad to do some interesting things, from shooting snaps of the kids to creating works of art to post online or even hang in a gallery. The old adage that says the best camera is the one you have with you may be true, but it also implied that the [...]
The iPhone 3GS remains a popular device, despite being nearly three years old, partly thanks to the recent iOS 5 upgrade and the $0, price tag, but an App Store change may signal the end to the iPhone 3GS as we get closer to the iPhone 5 release date. We think that Apple may be killing off [...]
Ever been watching a movie on your iPad or iPad 2 only to get interrupted by a push notification with some useless information from some app you rarely use? I have. Ever been sitting on the couch trying to get some work done on your tablet only to get interrupted by a notification containing the [...]
We still don’t know what the iPad 3 is going to look like when it arrives but that doesn’t mean that case-makers like OtterBox aren’t going to be providing high-quality cases for when it does decide to show its face. In a video posted on YouTube, the OtterBox’s Portfolio Manager Will Robinson tells us that [...]
Some of you might use your iPad for things other than streaming movies or watching sports highlights in bed. (I assure you, that is not how I use my iPad.) Maybe you bring it to your office meetings to jot down notes. Or if you’re a student, maybe you bring it to class in order [...]
The iPhone 4S has battery life issues, that much is for sure. For many users, the battery life is bad enough that they have turned to the App Store to find a fix for bad iPhone 4s battery life. Enter the Battery Boost Magic App, which claims to “Maximize & Extend your battery life”, “Reduce [...]
Have you ever wondered how some of the Apps in the Top Free iPhone Apps made it there? I know I’ve certainly wondered who was downloading all these oddball apps, at least to the point that they have ended up in the top 25 Top Free iPhone Apps list. Some of these apps deserve a spot [...]
I was a little surprised when watching a recent episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic to discover that it was an extended metaphor for the struggle between Apple and the company’s competitors in mobile technology.
If you own an iPad or an iPad 2, especially one that utilizes 3G data, you probably take it out of the house. Maybe it’s your companion on your daily basis or maybe you bring it to the beach once a week to take in the sun and a good book. Whatever the case my [...]

Super Bowl commercials are as famous as the game. If done right, possibly more memorable. Who played in the 1984 Super Bowl? Who knows. But I bet most of you know the famous Apple 1984 commercial even if you didn’t see it aired live on January 22nd 1984. This year Samsung took to the Super [...]
The iPad’s split keyboard is a little more flexible than it appears. Tap in the blank area immediately next to each half of the keyboard and you’ll see letters from the other side of the screen appear. The hidden keys allow iPad typists to eek out three more letters per thumb. Why does this matter? [...]
Earlier this month, we told you about Liquipel which is a patent pending process designed to coat Apple’s iPhone and other gadgets in a waterproof “nano” coating. The coating works both inside and outside the device to keep it safe from moisture. The coat is supposed to be unnoticeable and while substances like water will [...]
If you’re away from your TV on Super Bowl Sunday, then consider watching the game on your iPad, Android device or iPhone. It’s not the same as watching on a big HD display, but not everyone will have that luxury due to work schedules or cable cutting. You can watch on your iPhone, iPad or [...]
A commercial featuring a fake Steve Jobs is airing in Taiwan and stirring up controversy. Action Electronics hired a Taiwanese comedian to impersonate the late Apple co-founder to promote its Android tablet, something Jobs wouldn’t have approved of. Jobs didn’t hide his distaste of Android, Google’s mobile operating system. In his biography, He threatened to go “thermonuclear” [...]
