1. Budget iPhone and iPhone 5S I resisted the budget iPhone rumors for a long time because I really couldn’t see Apple putting out such a device. However, with each new rumor about an entry-level iPhone aimed at emerging markets, I find it harder and harder to write it off. I was pretty sure that Apple was not going to release a smaller iPad, and I was…
So, here’s me typing on the Belkin competitor to the Logitech and ZAGG keyboard cases that we’ve all come to know and love over the past couple of years. And, I’m delighted to say, it’s every bit as good as those two and has a few tricks up its sleeve too. Kindly, the folks over at Belkin sent me over a pre-release unit* to try out before the official…

It has just announced that the Survivor + Catalyst Waterproof case for iPhone 5. This case provides protection for up to 3 meters of water and will also keep dirt, dust, and other things out of the…
It’s been a quiet week on the rumor front. While the whole world has had its head turned by Apple’s tax hearing and the Xbox One reveal, it seems no one has been interested in checking with serial tipsters. Thankfully, one has turned up, from a familiar Japanese Apple blog. Macotakara reports that it has had discussions with its sources, in fact,…

Simply named “Verizon Cloud”, the application comes as version 13.2.8 and finally brings the service to iOS devices, as well as expanding it to other Android devices: UPDATE – Thursday, May 23: Verizon Cloud is now available for iOS devices and additional…
Smule is a very well known creative music company when it comes to iOS software. It has released apps that imagine new ways to make music, and this new app is no different. This new interactive, collaborative game named “Guitar!” does the same thing, turning music into a game. You play by moving your finger up and down over “strings” and pressing a colored…
Jon Stewart is known to pick on Apple every once in a while, and the senate hearing this past week was the next topic to be made fun of. During the clip, which is embedded above, Stewart shows how the senators from the subcommittee conducting the hearing kept saying things like “I love Apple” and showed their love of Apple’s products. Then, when the actual…
Kickstarter projects haven’t been as talked about as they once were, however here is a knew one for you.

A little while back, Apple went on a big witch hunt, flushing out all the apps on the App Store promoting other developers’ applications. One of the most well-known was AppGratis, which – under the App Store policies – could not return to once again grace the screens of iOS devices. So, iMediapp, the developers behind the app discovery tool did what any…
It may be pointing the obvious out ever so slightly, but, Apple has confirmed to AllThingsD that this year’s WWDC event at Moscone West, San Francisco will be kicking off with an opening keynote on June 10th. This would follow the pattern of previous years, and will likely include the unveiling of new products and services. While we’re not expecting any…
Yesterday a Windows 8 tablet vs. iPad showed up highlighting some of the difference between Apple’s tablet and the Microsoft slate. In that video the Windows makers used Siri’s voice to point out its weak points. This time around, it’s a classier and much simpler ad, highlighting similar things: lack of Office apps, multitasking and SD card reader. It’s a…
I don’t think anyone in America was ever under the illusion that their network operator was out to make life as comfortable as possible for its subscribers. Simply put, the plans are some of the least competitive on the planet. And, chief money grabber AT&T is at it again. This time around it’s adding a nominal service charge to ever postpaid…
