Parallels Desktop 7 Hands-on [Video] – run Windows apps on your Mac, run Mac on your iPad

, Sep 18th 2011 Discuss [0]

In its most basic state, Parallels Desktop 7 is the newest edition of Parallels, software which allows you to run Windows applications on your Mac computer as if there were Mac applications. If there was ever a perfectly simple way to transition from Windows, whatever Windows you’re working with*, over to the newest version of Mac, OS X 10 Lion. I’ve personally never seen a solution make this cross-hatching of the operating systems look so simple. And red and white with a double tower representing the parallel nature of the system is pretty nice to look at, too.

Apple Fall 2011: Best Case Scenario

, Sep 18th 2011 Discuss [9]

In my recent report on Steve Jobs’ resignation, I noted that many pundits seem to think that without Steve at the helm, Apple will lose some of its competitive edge. While anything can happen in the long run, in the short term this is dangerously stupid thinking. Let’s recap:

Steve did not invent Apple products alone. Nearly his entire executive staff — including everyone involved in iOS product design, development, and manufacturing — is still at Apple, and it’s not like they will suddenly forgot the lessons learned from working with Steve over the past decade (the man makes a strong impression).

, Sep 16th 2011 Discuss [1]

It’s time for a massive rundown of Apple’s next big gigantic release, all of what’s being called most often the iPhone 5. This device has many rumors and insider tips on details surrounding it, all of this coming together to create a lovely picture of a late 2011 or early 2012 release of the next generation of one of the most popular smartphones on earth.

iPhone 4 wins “world’s thinnest smartphone” rights against Samsung

, Sep 15th 2011 Discuss [39]

Quick-fire question: What's the thinnest smartphone on the market? If you said the Samsung Galaxy S II then you should probably immediately write a check to Apple, since Samsung has just been smacked down in the UK over suggestions that it, not its rival, produced the most waifish smartphone. The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) sided with Apple amid the company's complaints that Samsung wasn't measuring the thickest point on the Galaxy S II in its comparisons. Read The Full Story

, Sep 9th 2011 Discuss [2]

It’s not often that we cover cases for any sort of device, especially Apple products, not because they don’t deserve coverage of course, but because there’s just so darn many of them out there! Every once in a while there’s a group that brings a combination of materials and form, though, that we just cannot resist giving a little extra time and a few words to. Today that attention belongs to Cygnett, an Australian-based company that will be launching their first wave of products in the USA this season, starting with the iPhone 4 and the iPad 2. Take a peek at brushed aluminum, polycarbonate, and leather-styled coverings for all your iDevice covering needs!

All the hype surrounding the iPhone 5 hasn't put a damper on iPhone 4 sales. According to Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley, a survey of US carriers show that the iPhone 4 has remained the top selling smartphone for the past three months on both Verizon and AT&T.

How Target’s Mobile Ecosystem works and how it could Improve

, Aug 28th 2011 Discuss [25]

Welcome to Minnesota, Earth – Target Brand department store originating right here in my midwest place of birth, aiming for and achieving a spread across North America like a wildfire – and like any forward thinking place of business, they want to get in on the mobile business to keep their show on the road. Therefor they’ve created Target Mobile Store, or simply “mobile” by Target Brand and powered by Simplexity – this group, if you did not know, only handles online sales of cell phones and wireless service, thus you wont see “SIMPLEXITY” plastered all over the electronics department at your local physical Target location. Inside the store you’ll find an endcap with four devices, a wall full of display units, and several aisles away you’ll find two Apple displays, another aisle containing two Android tablets.

Apple Chief Designer Jonathan Ive Exhibit now in German Art Museum

, Aug 27th 2011 Discuss [1]

All the way over in Hamburg, Germany, there's a design exhibit being shown in their Museum of Arts and Crafts called "Stylectrical: On Electro-Design That Makes History" featuring 300 exhibits, over half of which are Apple products. Long time employee Jonathan Ive, currently Apple's Chief Designer, is the most prominently featured designer in this collection, right alongside former Braun designer lead Dieter Rams, an influence of design theories of both Ive and Steve Jobs. This Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe exhibit will examine "the complex development processes of industrial electrical design in a cultural studies context", and isn't the first time Apple products have been featured in a museum, though it is the first time that all of the projects worked on and/or supervised by Ive have been showcased under one roof.

Why the iPhone 4S will be Free

, Aug 25th 2011 Discuss [14]

Here’s the skinny: the following information is a set of educated guesses, analyzed facts turned into what I feel will be exactly what Apple will release at their next major keynote event as far as mobile devices go. First, I do not think that the device will have a “5″ in the title. Although it’s been an eternity in human time since the last iPhone release, that being the iPhone 4 for Verizon, in Apple time it’s only been nearly enough time before the next massively successful release. What I believe here instead is that all four of the biggest carriers in the USA will get the newest version of the iPhone inside October of 2011 and that this device will hold more water than just hardware improvements.
