Apple iPad Pre-order rumored to go on sale this week!
| February 22, 2010 | Posted by Ray Morrison under Apple, Electronics, iPad, iPhone, Mac, tablet |
As most of you know Apple has announced the iPad. Apple said that the iPad wifi will start to ship in late March. Rumors on App Advice, say Apple will start the iPad pre-sale in the coming week as early as late February.
Since the iPad is a new kind of device, I’m not sure if I will just use it at home or actually take it with me on the road. In latter case I would need the 3G option or find a wifi hotspot. My geek hormones, responsible for the urge to own what’s new, will most likely win and I will just put in my pre-order the iPad as soon as Apple lets me and get the Wifi iPad.

| January 25, 2010 | Posted by Alyssa Duval under Apple, Electronics, Gadgets, Google Android, iPhone, iPod |
It’s been less than one year since the iPhone 3GS has come out, and Apple fans are already looking foward the next iPhone, which some speculate may be called the iPhone 4G. Rumors suggest that the new iPhone 4G will become available as early as May, and may have a new, sleek design, a faster processor, a 5-megapixel camera, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) screen which requires no backlight and provides a much more crisp display. These features would rival those on Google’s Nexus One. There’s even more rumors that say a removable battery and video chat support will be included in the iPhone. An army of Androids are marching into the smartphone market. We believe this will force Apple to upgrade its iPhone more drastically, and sooner, in order to stay competitive in a quickly.

Flurry, an analytic firm, claims that they have proof that Apple tablet is in fact ‘in the works’. Based on web traffic analysis from third-party software developers, Flurry says Apple’s Cupertino campus has been testing hundreds of mobile of apps on 50 prototype Apple tablets.

New Apple iPhone 4G will Sport a Touch Sensitive Frame
| January 14, 2010 | Posted by Jeff Gonzales under Apple, Electronics, iPhone, iPod, Tech News |
Although we’re still months away from the iPhone 4G launch, the rumors are starting to fly, again!  The rumor comes courtesy of analysts from the Goldman Sachs Group. They have been informed that the iPhone 4G will be available around the June to July time frame, it will feature an improved 5MP camera, and touch-sensitive casing.
Those first two rumors are things we can assume to be true. The new iPhone 4G will launch this summer and, unless Apple wants to fall behind all of the other manufacturers, it will feature an 5 MP camera at the very least. The iPhones touch-sensitive casing is something that Apple has patented in the past. They’ve definitely shown interest in the technology. Whether it’s ready quite this early is anyone’s guess.
‘Guessing’ is almost the best we can do when it comes to iPhone rumors. They’ll only be getting more frequent and crazy’r as we get closer to launch, so you’d best get ready for the deluge now.
