The source of many supplier rumors for Apple’s upcoming products, Digitimes recently stated that the iPad 3 was being worked on. Everyone has been a bit skeptical about the rumors but the folks over at 9to5Mac have found a new codename finding in the latest iOS 5 beta to confirm the rumors have been true.

The “J2” model listed in the code corresponds with a recent report in which Digitimes discusses two prototype models ...

For months, Facebook has denied working on a branded smartphone of its own. But that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from spinning. And perhaps now we now know why - there's more truth behind those rejected rumors than Facebook wants us to know about.

As reported this morning by our friends at All Things Digital, the social networking giant is now collaborating with Taiwanese manufacturer HTC to build ...

In under two months the iPhone 4S has rocketed up the Fickr popularity charts to claim number two spot on the site's most popular cameraphone list.

However, the top spot still belongs to the iPhone 4. In fact the top 4 cameraphones used on Flickr are all iPhones, the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS. The HTV EVO 4G comes in at 5th.

Even more, the iPhone ...

Well this is awkward. The best-selling non-iPad tablet in the U.S. so far in 2011 is the HP TouchPad.

HP axed the TouchPad earlier this year and had a TouchPad fire-sale to clear out inventory. The $99 TouchPad allowed HP to rack up a 17% share of the 1.2 million non-Apple tablets sold between January and October of this year. Samsung is in a close second at 16%, Asus commands 10% and Motorola and ...

SGP - which has the cheesy misfortune to stand for "Stylish people's Good Partner" - is a Los Angeles, CA company who's been making good cases (which are actually nice and stylish) for at least a few years now. We've looked at their products before (there's still one of these wandering around Tampa somewhere from SGP through ModMyi) and were impressed by their build quality, style, and design.

The folks at SGP sent us a new batch of one of their new lines which fit the iPhone 4 and 4S - the Linear Color Series. I've ...

Teasers for Apple’s Black Friday specials have started popping up on the company’s international online stores.

The teaser is purposely vague revealing only that consumers will “disover amazing iPad, iPod, and Mac gifts for everyone on your list.” Last year Apple treated consumers to $101 off iMacs, MacBook Pro and MacBook Airs, $41 off the iPad, $21 off iPod touches and $11 of iPod nanos.

The CEO of J.C. Penney and the former senior vice president for retail at Apple, Ron Johnson recently ran a guest post detailing his Apple tenure over at the Harvard Business Review blog. The post was accompanied by a large interview which appears in the December 2011 issue of the Harvard Business Review magazine.

According to Jonson, Apple’s success in retail isn’t due to its shiny products. “You don’t need to stock iPads to create an irresistible retail ...

iOS 5.0.2 may have been delayed so that Apple can fix memory leaks.

iOS 5.0 came with some horrible battery life for some. Luckily, iOS 5.0.1 came to rescue for some. Albeit it helped a good number of people, it didn't help all of them. Apple said that the battery problems were because of numerous bugs and that iOS 5.0.1 only fixed some of the bugs. They promised to fix the rest of the bugs in a future ...

According to the folks over at SemiAccurate, Apple’s switch to AMD graphics across its entire product line could be short-lived as Nvidia’s return to Apple’s Mac lineup is expected to begin next spring.

The internal hardware changes are going to be featured ...

With this tweak, you will get a notification before iOS switches the app on you.

Sometimes when you're in an application, there are links that will open other applications and put what you were doing on the background. I have personally found this frustrating. Some examples include the image above, where you want to view a Web Page, but it opens the application instead, or when you go into Words With Friends to sign in with Facebook and it opens the Facebook app on you. It happens all the time in iOS. You tap on something and another application opens. ...
