iOS 7 now available to download
Posted in: Today's Chili
You’ve now had a few hours to digest our feelings on the iPhone 5s and 5c, but now it’s time to replicate the bulk of that experience on your existing Apple devices. iOS 7 is appearing as an available software in your settings panel now, or at least in the very near future. If you own an iPhone 5 / 4S / 4, an iPad 2/3/4, iPad Mini or the 5th generation iPod touch, then you’ll be entitled to witness Sir Jonathan’s first grand attempt at a UI revolution. Also, don’t forget that iTunes Radio will be making its big debut alongside the new operating system today, so at least you’ll have some smooth grooves to chill out to while your phone updates.

Pandora intros redesigned iPad app, hopes you’ll skip that other big radio service
Posted in: Today's Chili
There’s no doubt that Pandora is feeling the heat from iTunes Radio. The company isn’t letting its competitor’s launch go unanswered, however. It just unveiled a redesigned Pandora 5.0 app for iOS that gives iPad users several features that were previously iPhone-only, including deeper artist exploration, social music sharing and an option for more variety in stations. The release also makes better use of the big screen through a panel that helps listeners find related music without skipping a beat. Android tablets will get these perks later in the fall, Pandora says. The firm may still have a tough time luring iPad owners away from Apple’s streaming service, but the new Pandora app is free to use — it won’t hurt to tune in.

Reports have been filed, sources have spoken, parts have leaked and most everybody agrees that the next iPad (iPad 5?) will sport a much thinner bezel than what we’re used to from the current iPad. Basically, with the narrower bezel and thinner body, the next iPad will look like a bigger version of the iPad Mini. How does the new design compare to the iPad we know now?

Occipital’s Structure Sensor clamps onto your iPad for 3D scanning on-the-go
Posted in: Today's Chili
With the explosion of desktop 3D printers, there seems little doubt that the next big land grab is the world of 3D scanning. Microsoft’s Kinect has taken us a few steps closer to mainstreaming the technology, and MakerBot’s soon-to-launch Digitizer is no doubt likely to capture the imagination of much of that community. Kickstarter, naturally, is also littered with smaller companies looking for a piece of that action. Among them, Occipital’s Structure Sensor certainly has potential.
The company’s looking at a lofty $100,000 goal to bring its mobile scanner to market by year’s end. The device clips on to a tablet via a bracket, letting you scan objects, create 3D maps of indoor spaces and the like. All said, it’s a pretty nice looking bit of hardware. Of course, we can’t really vouch for ease of use or effectiveness. If you’re willing to take the risk, however, a $349 pledge entitles you to the hardware, an iPad bracket and a Lightning cable.
