Around the time the iPad launched, Apple's self-proclaimed magical and revolutionary tablet device that we're sure you've heard about by now, they realized that their App Store had to get switched around a bit. Soon after, specialized areas started to show up here and there, especially with some centered around the iPad specifically. Still, the majority simply focused on broad categories, like games. To be a bit more focused though, they added "App Store Essentials," and that's pretty much what you might expect: the stuff you need to have on your iDevice. Read The Full Story

And then we've got a pretty lofty goal from Panasonic, followed up by a firefighting mask that looks like something right out of a science-fiction movie. Read The Full Story
