by Stephen Schenck | May 22, 2012 1:33 PMThere have been plenty of recent claims made about just how large the screen on Apple's next iPhone will measure, with a number of rumors looking at something very close to four inches. Though it measures-in just a hair under that mark, we looked at one-such rumor only a little while ago that says to expect a 3.95-inch display, and one with a more widescreen aspect ratio, at that. While that news had some nice details backing it up, like a specific claim as to the new screen's resolution, we're far from closing the book on this one. The latest attempt at nailing-down these specs comes from wha...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 22, 2012 8:29 AMIf you follow the Apple and "next iPhone" related news you probably already know that the vast majority of rumors circulating on the interwebs is related to the display on the iPhone 4S follow-up. From "larger-than-four-inch" to "four inch" we've heard them all, even that the late Steve Jobs was actually working on the next Apple smartphone himself. According to the most recent reports, Apple is testing at least two prototypes codenamed iPhone 5,1 and iPhone 5,2 (though the numbering might refer to color variants -- black and white -- as well as storage options). However, the interesting bi...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 22, 2012 4:36 AMLast week we told you that the lucky folks in Canada are able to download Facebook Pages Manager for iPhone from the iTunes App Store. Now it's time for some U.S. software market love and if you own a Facebook page, or you are an administrator, this app should definitely be on your must-have list! With the Facebook app's main concept in mind, Facebook Pages Manager allows you to manage (even) multiple pages as once. You can also post new updates and photos as your Page, get notified about new activity on your Page when it happens, respond, post and comment as your Page while you’re on-the-g...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 20, 2012 2:43 AMMicrosoft and its OEM partners (especially Nokia, but not only) knew that China is a market to aim for, not just because of the fact that it is now the world's largest mobile market, but because of the specifics of the country. Windows Phone was launched in China on March 21 this year and it is already, according to reports, outselling Apple and its iPhone. Of course we need to be fair and consider that this might have less to do with the platform itself and more (everything) to do with the difference in price between Windows Phones and iPhones. However, Microsoft's platform is now accounti...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 19, 2012 1:48 AMThis is probably not the best way to sit down at the table, start negotiations, and try to settle -- as the court ordered Apple and Samsung for May 21 and 22; the Cupertino company has filed for an immediate U.S. preliminary injunction against Samsung and its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, having a court order at its base recognizing Apple's design patent (in appeal). Samsung had to slightly redesign the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany -- because of Apple's design patent infringement claim -- where you can find the Galaxy Tab 10.1N (with the speakers being placed on the bezel to the left and right of t...

by Stephen Schenck | May 18, 2012 11:04 AMFor the past couple weeks, we've had cause to be pretty optimistic about the prospects for seeing an untethered iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak, one supporting even the new 2012 iPad, released in the very near future. Developer pod2g has been keeping us all advised as to his progress in uncovering exploits, and then adapting them into a usable jailbreak. Most recently, though, he dropped a bit of bad news for some iOS users, announcing that a key exploit didn't appear to be working on the third generation iPod touch and the iPhone 3GS, leaving them invulnerable to this jailbreak. Today, pod2g has another ...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 18, 2012 4:28 AMYou might want to treat this with a small dose of skepticism, at least until we hear official wording from Sprint itself, but according to the leaked document pictured above, Sprint will start offering iPhone trade-in credit given you grab the latest iPhone 4S. The program should kick off today and run through June 30; it should address both new and existing customers, given you sign a two-year contract and add a new line. At least $100 is what you'll get in credit for any iPhone, the exact amount probably depending on the model, condition and specs (as in internal storage). If you fancy an...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 18, 2012 3:34 AMThe HTC EVO 4G LTE should have been on shelves today, May 18, but thanks to an ITC ruling banning imports of HTC devices as of April 19 there are some delays thanks to U.S. Customs who are taking their job (and the ruling) seriously (as one would expect). There was a ray of light however which might have gotten your hopes up yesterday: Best Buy sent out a letter letting people know that the HTC EVO 4G LTE should be available as of May 23. Today Best Buy is taking your hopes and scatters them away. According to a new letter being sent out, the previous one contained incorrect information reg...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 18, 2012 3:20 AMJust like there's a lot of suing going on lately, there's also a lot of settling (mediation) as a result of court orders (which is probably the wisest choice in many cases). Apple and Samsung have been ordered to settle their differences (patents) over two days next week on May 21 and 22 and now Apple has been ordered to attend a settlement meeting with HTC. The Delaware court ordered the two companies to meet up in Delaware on August 28, 2012 in order to discuss the possibility of a settlement. Just as in the Samsung case, there will be a third (non-involved) party mediating and overseeing...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 18, 2012 2:21 AMRumors about the next iPhone are piling up, building the buzz, just like they did before the iPhone 4S launch event and more recently before the London Samsung Galaxy S III unveiling. The most controversial topic though seems to be the screen size of the next Apple smartphone, with The Wall Street Journal and Reuters already weighing in on possibilities of a four-inch display diagonal. According to Bloomberg, who seems to confirm previous reports with their own -- citing "three people with knowledge of the plans" -- the late Steve Jobs "had worked closely on the redesigned phone before his ...

by Stephen Schenck | May 17, 2012 7:06 PMAround here, we might all be fans of unlocks, jailbreaks, and pretty much anything else you can do to a phone to remove unnecessary limitations put in place by the manufacturer, carrier, or any combination thereof, but it's clear those companies involved have very little interest in us being able to do so, some to the point of being openly hostile. Considering how much money Apple makes from its cut of sales through iTunes and its App Store, it shouldn't be any surprise when the company acts in a manner consistent with protecting those interests. Still, might it be going too far in its latest ...

by Stephen Schenck | May 17, 2012 1:20 PMWhen it comes to names for Apple products, we've learned to not get too comfortable with speculative guesses, as Apple has a way of defying expectations. Last fall, instead of an iPhone 5, we got the iPhone 4S, and earlier this year we saw the company's latest tablet arrive not as the iPad 3, but just as "the new iPad". As such, we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves and get comfortable with a rumored name that might not end up on the finished product. Keeping that in mind, a recent IP ruling does tend to lend a little credence to one theory on how the next iPhone will arrive. Appl...

by Stephen Schenck | May 17, 2012 11:06 AMThere's been no shortage of rumors when it comes to the to the possibility that Apple will release an iPad mini, of sorts, with a screen in the seven-inch range. Most recently some of those claims looked to the idea that Apple could be trying to position the tablet with an absolute rock-bottom price, potentially going as low as $200 in an attempt to steal market share from budget-priced Androids. Today, the rumors look to the actual manufacturing of these supposed devices. Back in March, there were similar rumors about iPad mini manufacturing and Apple's supply chain, but today's claims are...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 17, 2012 7:08 AMYesterday we heard rumors about the new iPhoneand this by itself is nothing out of the ordinary for those who follow tech news on a regular basis. The Wall Street Journal cited anonymous sources that claimed knowledge of a larger-than-four-inch screen on the upcoming Apple smartphone, believed to be the iPhone 5. Now Reuters is weighing in on the matter citing its own anonymous sources. According to them, the screen on the upcoming iPhone "will measure 4 inches from corner to corner". Surely they meant from one corner to the opposite corner on the opposite side, as in diagonal, because if n...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 17, 2012 3:24 AMIf you are a Facebook user who happens to also be an administrator of a Facebook page you really have very limited options in managing your page using the dedicated Facebook application on your iPhone. Luckily a Facebook Pages Manager for iPhone is coming soon -- the Canadian App Store already has it -- to answer all your admin needs. As far as the application's aspect is concerned it looks pretty much like your ordinary Facebook App. You have the left drawer which now exposes all your Facebook Pages -- yes, you can manage multiple pages from the same app -- as well as Insights, which is a ...
