It seems like Google is putting that recent Waze acquisition to good use finally, as the search giant announced that they have added Waze alerts to Google Maps on iOS and Android. The maps app now includes real-time incident reports crowd-sourced and submitted by Waze users. These include road closures, construction work, and accidents. However, […]
Logitech just can’t stop making keyboard cases for iPad minis, and its third set in six months includes the new Ultrathin Keyboard Folio, which melds familiar elements — water-repellant materials, Bluetooth connectivity — with a few novel ones. Namely, iOS shortcut keys for copying and pasting and a magnet system called SecureLock to keep your slate anchored. What the firm is claiming is its thinnest and lightest keyboard folio to date will cost you $89.99 — that’s the same price as March’s version, or $10 more than February’s model. Also fresh is the key-less Folio Protective Case that does double duty as a multi-position stand, and will sell for $49.99, about $10 over Apple’s own Smart Cover. The good news is that if you dig either of these, they’ll be available direct from the manufacturer later this month. If not? Well, there’s bound to be a different model or two by the end of next week.

In the midst of the unofficial confirmations of both the iPhone and the iPad appearing soon in reboots at a single Apple event comes an assembly line tip that two iterations of the iPhone will ship in September. This suggestion comes from the Wall Street Journal seeing word from people familiar with the matter speaking […]
Go on, reject the notion. Work yourself into a tizzy. Then, grab an Orange Crush and a bag chair, ’cause you’re going to need some serious support to handle the realization. The gold iPhone is coming, and it’ll be launched during Apple’s upcoming event on September 10th. As AllThingsD reports, a new flagship iPhone will be unveiled with an “elegant gold tone,” which is said to be more like champagne in actuality. If the rumors prove true, we should see a white face with a gilded rear… which will never be seen by anyone once you strap a case on it. Best of all? We’re sensing a golden opportunity for Macklemore to score a product placement promotion in a future music video.

Apple‘s iPhone 5S will almost certainly come in a gold or champagne finish, multiple sources have confirmed with insiders familiar with the next-gen iOS 7 flagship smartphone, describing the finish as “elegant” rather than gaudy. After reports over the weekend of a new color option for the iPhone 5S alongside the existing black and silver, […]
Apple will unveil both new iPhones and iPads at its rumored September 10 event, sources claim, rather than just the previously-expected iPhone 5S and its cheaper iPhone 5C sibling. The upcoming event, widely expected to be held on September 10 after Samsung and others have demonstrated their latest wares at IFA 2013 in Germany, will […]
Every big internet company has a movie and TV show store it seems, and Barnes & Noble certainly doesn’t have a problem joining in on the already-saturated market. The company announced NOOK Video almost a year ago, and they’re just now bringing the service to iOS, Android, and Roku streaming devices for free. The new […]
There’s a 5th generation iPad in the works, and a set of photos this week (once again) provides clues suggesting the size and shape of this device likely appearing in full later this year. With the success of the iPad mini comes Apple’s redesign of the iPad – here rolling out in (more) unofficial images […]
Now that Barnes & Noble is backing away from producing its own Nook tablets, it has less incentive to keep Nook Video as an exclusive. Accordingly, it’s opening things up by launching Nook Video apps for ordinary Android devices, iOS and Roku boxes. Like on Barnes & Noble’s own hardware, the new apps let US viewers buy or rent movies for streaming; users can also watch any content stored in their UltraViolet collections. The releases may not get customers leaving one of the many existing alternative services, but those who already have an investment in Nook Video can grab an appropriate app at one of the source links.

Apple’s iOS may be undergoing the biggest change since its inception, but that doesn’t mean the spirit of the operating system hasn’t been floating around designer’s heads for hundreds of years. In 1525, before the iPhone was even a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye, German polymath Albrecht Dürer was espousing similar design principles using the same, now-infamous letters: I, O, and S.
