For those of old enough to remember the wonders of the original Walkman, it represented a new freedom that we had never known before. The ability to go in so many places and perform activities such as jogging and biking while listening to music made it epic. MP3 players and the iPod in particular changed that, of course, but now old-schoolers can reminisce with the Cassette Tape to MP3 Converter for the iPod….

Next week, all of the rumors surrounding the upcoming iPhone 5 will be confirmed, refuted, or left in the air. One thing is certain: September 12th will be the official Apple iPhone 5 event. Though the invitation they sent to tech magazines across the internet didn’t give many specifics, the clever play on the date with the shadowed 5 makes it pretty clear what the event is going to surround. Will it have a 4″ screen as rumored? When will it officially be available? Will there be major changes to the hardware, battery, or other components? Are they really rolling out a new type of charger? We’ll know…

If reports from the hacker group are to be believed, the FBI has over 12 million Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs) on file and now 1,000,001 of them have been leaked to the public. Using the AtomicReferenceArray vulnerability in Java, the group allegedly hacked into Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K Stangl’s notebook in March of this year and retrieved a file with information about Apple iOS device users. The file, named “NCFTA_iOS_device_intel.csv”, is claimed to have usernames, device names, device types, push notification tokens, zip codes, phone numbers, addresses, and other…

Take a ride down any major road in America and you’re bound to find at least one of the following; a post office, a pizza place, or even a McDonald’s. Any successful business has gotten to where they are because of three major factors, product, business structure, and a solid corporate identity – in this case, a strong, easily recognizable logo. Corporate identity can make or break a business almost as easily as its product or business structure. When I’m stuck at work and want to order a pizza, I immediately think Dominos. It’s just that simple. Simple is a key term to remember here, because the more…

If you thought the battle between Apple and Samsung was big, you may be in for a mobile device war between the two largest superpowers if recent statements out of the Google camp are to be believed. Reuters is reporting that the new heads of the two companies, Google’s Larry Page and Apple’s Tim Cook, were in meetings last week that were expected to continue today but had to be postponed for unknown reasons. Apple won the first major battle over Samsung which many are considering a proxy war against the overall Android operating system. Mobile OS is considered both the present and future of computing…

How ’bout them apples. With a market cap of over $632 billion, Apple is huge. That’s common knowledge. What may surprise people is how it compares to other giants in the tech world. While the company often competes with Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, the three giants total combined market cap is still well-below that of Apple. Throw in Facebook for good measure and Apple still comes out triumphant. TheNextWeb gave us the numbers: Value by market cap: Microsoft: $256.78B Google: $221.48B Facebook: $41.43B Amazon:  $111.26B Total: $630.95B Not bad at all, especially when you consider that all…

It’s an app world. The success of iOS and Android (as well as the lack of success for Blackberry and others) can be directly attributed to the way that apps have taken over our daily lives. The abundance of tools and games on a platform directly influences how well they will be adopted. Microsoft knows this and is going full-steam ahead with the concept as they prepare to launch Windows 8. At every level of the operating system, they hope to load it up with the degree of apps that have helped the competition succeed in recent years. To do so, they need adoption from developers. They have held various…

Have you ever held an iPad? Let me rephrase… Have you ever held an iPad for any length of time? They can become quite uncomfortable to try and position so you can enjoy your gadget the best possible way without having to strain your arms or crank your neck. You my friend need an iPad floor stand so you can watch your movies and read your E-Books in style and luxury. The floor stand will telescope, tilt and swivel so you can adjust it to your level of relaxation without causing you tension. You can easily navigate your apps, or relocate the stand with ease so you can be sitting, standing or reclining while…

An unwillingness to “sleep with the enemy” may be behind cable companies’ reluctance to deal with Apple, but that isn’t stopping the Cupertino tech firm from trying. Their latest round of talks with various entertainment brokers would give their set top box the ability to integrate traditional cable feeds. It’s a matter of compromise. Apple has been trying for years to break into the television industry, even contemplating licensing content directly and competing with cable operators. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em… The walled-garden of the television industry has long been reluctant…

The wait is finally nearly over. After a false start earlier in the year that got everyone excited about the iPhone 5 only to be offered the iPhone 4s instead, Apple appears to be ready to release their latest generation smartphone to its adoring fans. According to iMore, the iPhone 5 event will be held September 12 with pre-orders opening up that day. The information on Apple pre-orders comes from sources that have provided iMore with accurate iPhone related launch dates in the past. The information on the international launches comes from sources that have provided our network, Mobile Nations,…
