It's time for Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster to break the news on Apple's dominance of the market once again, this time showing a report of 7,700 teenagers in the USA working with the iPhone in massive amounts. The survey showed that this most recent period of study showed iPhone use up 6% over the last time it was conducted, that being 6 months ago. At the moment, it appears that a whopping 40% of teens in the USA own at least one iPhone. Read The Full Story

, Oct 10th 2012 Discuss [0]

The iPad mini is likely to be WiFi-only, sources claim, and accompanied by a refreshed iPad 3 with Lightning connector and broader LTE support, though last-minute design changes could shake up Apple's launch. Tipped to be a 7.85-inch slate hoping to bring Apple's tablet success to a mid-point between the existing new iPad and the iPod touch, the iPad mini will lack 3G/4G, according to the Guardian's insiders, so as to help keep prices down and maintain the larger model's halo.

iPad mini visualized in bright color renderings

, Oct 9th 2012 Discuss [0]

With rumors abound of an iPad mini device appearing in the Apple lab this season it's only appropriate that high-quality renderings of said device would begin to appear in droves. What we're looking at here is a set of renderings done by designer Martin Hajek, a fellow who is also in the process of making some 3D models of the device for real-world use - for case-makers, of course. For now though it's time to peek at some iterations, including brightly colored backside the same as the 5th generation iPod Touch models just introduced with the iPhone 5. Read The Full Story

We've arrived at another Friday evening, which means that the weekend lies ahead. Today, as many of you probably already know, was the one-year anniversary of the passing of Steve Jobs. Apple paid tribute to Jobs in a new video released today, and it was announced that three modified MacBook Pros will be auctioned off in memory of Jobs. On the lighter side of things, Lenovo is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ThinkPad with a look back through time, and Samsung's profits for Q3 2013 managed to break company records (not an easy thing to do, considering how popular Samsung is).

The iPad mini will be free: here’s why

, Oct 5th 2012 Discuss [48]

In a world where the cost of some technology is hotly debated and is completely dismissed for others, it only makes sense that Apple would release the iPad mini for free. I wrote a column back before the iPhone 4S was release called Why the iPhone 4S will be free – turned out it wasn’t the iPhone 4S that ended up being free, but the iPhone 3GS – and that was indeed the first time any iPhone was offered up for free in a sales structure that remains today (with the iPhone 4 in that position at the moment). Apple will bring this structure to the iPad universe too – but it wont wait for its oldest models to fall into the $0 position to make it happen.

However, they're looking to take on Apple's iPad Mini (before it even exists) with a budget tablet of their own. The One Touch T10 is a 7-inch tablet that runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, if it's going to challenge the iPad Mini in any way, it better come with some mean specs. Read The Full Story

Three iPad mistakes the iPad mini needs to fix

, Oct 5th 2012 Discuss [42]

Though Apple hasn’t confirmed (nor denied) the existence of the iPad mini, the flurry of excitement surrounding the release of such a device quite recently makes this a perfect time to discuss what features a small iPad could fix. It’s not as if the iPad (the 3rd generation, that is) has a whole lot wrong with it at the moment – it’s far and away the best selling tablet-form device on the market, not to mention the best-selling iPad in the history of the iPad line. But what we’ve got here is the idea of the iPad made more accessible by the masses – the public that, believe it or not, can’t quite figure out why they’d pay $500 USD for a device that they might accidentally drop when they’re getting up from the couch.

iPad mini part problems tip tight stock

, Oct 5th 2012 Discuss [1]

Apple's iPad mini hasn't even been officially confirmed yet, but predictions of stock shortages amid "frustrating" yields at component suppliers have already begun to spread. In fact, the first month is likely to see demand far outstripping supply, Topeka Capital Markets' Brian White suggests, with his checks among the Apple supply chain discovering that - even though some aspects of the rumored 7.85-inch iPad are said to be more like the iPad 2 than the most recent new iPad - delivering what Apple demands has been "no walk in the park for suppliers."
