No 720p FaceTime HD for iPad 2

, Mar 2nd 2011 Discuss [4]

Apple showed off the new slim form of the iPad 2 along with iOS 4.3, A5 chip, faster CPU and graphics speeds and demoed new creativity apps, GarageBand and iMovie, at today's unveiling event that was overall pretty awesome. However, one thing that the iPad 2 truly fails to impress is the uninspiring quality of their front and rear facing cameras which means no 720p FaceTime HD for the new device. Read The Full Story

, Jan 21st 2011 Discuss [0]

Continued digging through the latest iOS SDK has thrown up some more potential details about the iPad 2's expected dual cameras, and it's bad news if you wanted to use your Apple slate as an unwieldy replacement for your point-and-shoot. According to 9 to 5 Mac's discovery, the iPad 2's rear camera is listed at a mere 1-megapixel resolution, something that prompts them to suggest it's actually the same unit as on the fourth-gen iPod touch.

Facebook to Trademark the Word “Face”

, Nov 24th 2010 Discuss [2]

For real? I mean for real for real? Yes, a "Notice of Allowance" has been bestowed upon Mark Zuckerberg's company as it strives to gain trademark over its own brand. How does it make sense to trademark just the "Face" part? Let's see- they're attempting to make sure no other company would be able to use the word Face in the following way: "Telecommunication services, namely, providing online chat rooms and electronic bulletin boards for transmission of messages among computer users in the field of general interest and concerning social and entertainment subject matter, none primarily featuring or relating to motoring or to cars." So I assume I can keep my FaceBoot auto enthusiast messageboard then? Excellent. Read The Full Story

Apparently one a user has logged into FaceTime on their Mac, their Apple ID and password can be altered from the application by anyone with access to the computer while FaceTime is running. Harsh! Unless you understand basic security for anything you own or run, ever. Read The Full Story

A new report from Rodman & Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar claims that Apple is currently working on a smaller, camera-featuring iPad, which is set to debut some time in the early part of 2011.
