Some of you reading this blog are old enough to remember when mobile technology meant a boom box that you could fit on your shoulder and carry around. If you were strong enough, of course. These days we’re all expected to keep our tunes to ourselves, though some youths rebel by playing the music from their smartphone speakers really loud, annoying all the people on public transportation with crappy, tinny music. If you’re going to do all that, you need to go old school with it.
We have heard that Apple might be releasing iOS 5.1 alongside the upcoming iPad 3 or iPad 2S or iPad 2 HD or whatever the company is going to be calling it, and now we have a specific date to throw into the mix courtesy of YourDailyMac. The site has scrounged up some hard evidence [...]
After having released an iPad streaming app in March, Time Warner Cable is now allowing its subscribers and iPhone users to stream to their iOS smartphone and iPod Touch PMP. There are still a few restrictions for streaming, however, as you still must be on your home WiFi network–no 3G streaming is allowed yet–and the [...]
I don’t imagine there are too many people out there still rocking an iPhone 2G as their primary phone at this point, but I do suspect there are a few out there sitting in drawers still in perfectly fine condition, just not terribly useful since they’re running an old version of iOS and no longer [...]
Mobile gaming nerds rejoiced last year when ThinkGeek’s April Fool’s arcade cabinet for the iPad became a real product thanks to the folks at Ion Audio. Now they’re bringing the concept to everyone’s favorite mobile gaming device: the iPhone. The iCade Mobile fits all models of the iPhone and the iPod touch. Just like the [...]
Apple already includes its Thunderbolt port, created as a collaboration with Intel, on its MacBook and iMac, but the standard may also be going mobile as well. The iOS-maker has recently filed for patents to use Thunderbolt on mobile devices, including the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. At the very least, Thunderbolt would be able [...]
The 60beat GamePad connects to your iPad or other iOS device so you can control your games with a physical game pad instead of the mostly horrible onscreen controls of iOS games. It only works with a limited selection of compatible games, but hopefully the list will grow if this thing takes off. I played [...]
A recent update to the iOS operating system on December 16th has rendered iPhones and iPod Touch devices running on iOS 3.1.3 or older unable to directly download and update apps on their devices.

Black Friday is one of the best times to purchase a new iPod Touch or iPod Nano. You can score discounts and gift card bonuses that add up to big savings. Apple Black Friday deals, direct from the retailer, aren’t too impressive. But, you can save $50 or more on an iPod Touch by purchasing [...]

Kids love tech and gadgets just as much as adults, and are often quite partial to the same toys their parents bring home. While that’s not always an ideal situation, giving them their own gadgets to play with will satisfy their techie hearts. But don’t hide that iPad or iPhone away just yet, because several [...]

Today marked the end of the month of October which means that Apple has missed its self imposed deadline for the launch of its iTunes Match service. Originally announced all the way back at WWDC, Apple had made it clear at the iPhone 4S event that the service would be rolling out to the general [...]
It looks like the iTunes Match service might be getting closer to launch. AppAdvice noticed that the button magically appeared in the iOS 5 Music Apps settings today. Sure enough it appears in mine as well. iTunes Match is designed to let you have music you did not purchase through iTunes available through Apple’s iCloud [...]
We have always lived in a world of “we don’t need no stinking manuals.” But every now and then it is nice to have a reference to fall back on, even when it may not give you all you need to know. iOS 5 manuals for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad are now [...]
Once you update your mac to OS X Lion 10.7.2 and iOS 5, you get iCloud and Photo Stream. With Photo Stream in iCloud transferring your pictures to your computer got a lot easier, something you will likely want to do with the nice new 8MP camera on the iPhone 4S. I use it with [...]
Just a short time ago, I told you about the issues I was having with upgrading my iPhone 3GS and my iPad 2 to the latest piece of Apple software, iOS 5. I kept trying and each time, I was greeted with an error called ‘Error 3200′. At first, I figured that it had to [...]
The time has finally come for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners as Apple has pushed out the iOS 5 update, its latest and greatest piece of mobile software. It has been 128 days since Apple announced the software at WWDC 2011 and just a few short days since it made the October 12th release [...]
Four months ago, if you’d asked me what to expect from the next iPhone (and quite a few people did), I would have described pretty much what we saw yesterday with the iPhone 4S. Of course four months can be such a long time in the Apple world.
According to CultofMac, the Hard Candy case company is making 50,000 cases for a “mystery” device with a 4.44-inch screen, a teardrop shape, and a lozenge-shaped Home button. Hard Candy CEO Tim Hickman isn’t spilling the beans on what exactly this device is. Maybe the new iPod Touch? Maybe it’s the iPhone 4S? Actually, Hard [...]
With just days until the Apple iPhone event, it appears that Apple is working behind the scenes to prepare for the big event.

After months of speculation, Apple announced that it will be talking about the iPhone at an event on its Cupertino campus on October 4th. Needless to say, all eyes will be on the event.

By all accounts, the iPhone 5 that’s due to be officially announced in October will have plenty of new features and design elements to entice current owners and draw even more consumers into the Apple fold.

Turntable.fm, the social DJing platform that has taken the music world by storm, is now available for consumption on the iTunes App Store for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. No, there is no standalone iPad application yet so those of you who have [...]
The announcement didn’t come with any big announcement but I have a feeling this might actually be a pretty big announcement for some of you out there who love Google Music and own an iPhone or an iPad. Google, rather slyly, announced that it has released a web application for devices running iOS 4. If [...]
A new rumor is circulating that Apple may introduce a new iPod Touch model this month that would add cellular mobile broadband connectivity in addition to WiFi this month. The move would essentially make the 3G iPod Touch a device that’s similar, but smaller, in function to Apple’s iPad with 3G. Though the iPod Touch [...]
GameStop has had to deal with a pile-on of negative publicity thanks to the whole Deus Ex: Human Revolution OnLive coupon removal scandal from last week.
