When you've got a bunch of displays, the first instinct is to get them all as close as possible, and display one giant image. People do it all the time with monitors for their PC or gaming rigs, and they've even been used to demo all sorts of things around the world. When it comes to an iPod Touch, when you've got a lot of them lying around, it suddenly becomes clear that a 3.5-inch display just isn't good enough. That's where Mongoose Studio comes in.

Multifunction Devices and Teens
Multitasking is a huge concept for devices today. The idea of a single use, single feature device is becoming increasingly rare. Today, the lines are really blurring in technology – between mobile and desktop devices, between phones and media players, between TVs and computers. Even alarm clocks have WiFi built in. And especially among teenagers, the idea of multipurpose, connected devices is becoming more and more important.
For teenagers, one of the most important concept of our lives is being connected to each other – we like being in touch with all our social circles, be it for friends around the corner from school to friends across the globe. Media, entertainment, and pictures are also huge features – consider the huge importance of music, movies, video games, and Facebook albums in today’s world. And in portable devices especially it’s become more and more critical to have these features to ensure that you appeal to teens.

What I Learned From Working at the Apple Store
At the turn of this century, I worked for a few Web sites that you haven’t heard of because they collapsed in the great tech bubble. I became a High School teacher and stuck with it for five years before I got back into tech journalism. But while I was teaching, I took on some extra jobs, one of which was working at an Apple store at a very expensive mall. I learned a lot in my time there.
Apple Applies for Patent to Pause and Resume Media on Separate Devices
Apple certainly loves their patents. Even if they don't have any plans to actually implement the idea into the physical world for several years, they're quick about snapping up those patents. It's a plan that's worked for them over the years, and they're probably not going to stop any time soon. This time around, they've got a patent that could see you playing a video on your Apple TV, pausing it there, and then picking up right where you left off on your Apple mobile device.

Wi-Fi Sync for Windows Released, Now Supports the iPad
We've covered Wi-Fi Sync pretty heavily 'round these parts, and that's for a good reason. It's awesome. You doesn't like syncing their gadgets to another gadget wirelessly? Especially when it's something like the iPhone. Right from the start, the application got some high praise for how well it worked. And then when we realized that we could disable the initial backup, our world got a whole lot better. But when the speed test showed us how fast Wi-Fi Sync really was, well, we were happy to toss away our cords. Unfortunately, Apple denied the app and it subsequently released through Cydia. Now, though, we've got some more good news to pass along.

Fresh to the spec sheet is iPhone compatibility but, more importantly perhaps, JBL reckon they’ve worked wonders on the audio quality too. Does this iPhone speaker dock’s musical prowess belie its compact form? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
iPad cannibalizing iPod sales, not Mac reckons analyst
Early analysis of Apple sales figures suggests that, rather than eat into sales of the company's Mac range, the iPad has cannibalized iPod sales. According to Gene Munster, outspoken analyst at Piper Jaffray, Apple's domestic Mac sales were up 39-percent year on year, while iPod sales dropped an estimate-quashing 17-percent for the three month period. Munster reckons this is down to clever positioning and feature-selection on Apple's part, commenting that "Apple has successfully limited the iPad functionality to primarily content consumption, versus content creation on a Mac"
