Amazon Cloud Player starts working on iOS

Amazon Cloud Player starts working on iOS

When Amazon rolled out their cloud player, it streamed sounds from the cloud flawlessly on Android and the web but wasn’t working at all on iOS. It wasn’t a Flash issue, nor was there any indication why it was so. It simply didn’t work. That changed today. No announcements, no updates. It simply started working. When you first visit Amazon’s Cloud Player from an iPhone or iPad, you get the standard warning that the browser is incompatible, but if you skip passed it you’ll see that it works. This would be an indication that the change was made on Apple’s end, not Amazon’s. That is not the case, and the warning…

Apple: new iMacs with Thunderbolt, FaceTime HD, and more power

Apple: new iMacs with Thunderbolt, FaceTime HD, and more power

Apple, while keeping up with the times, has decided that it is time to unveil a new set of iMacs to the world. There are two base models — with 21.5-inch and 27-inch version — with the rudimentary upgrades included, but there are also some new additions that might peak your interest too. This time around there are faster processors, improved graphics chips, and a FaceTime HD camera. There is also a Thunderbolt port provided, which will enable these iMacs to transfer data at incredible speeds (assuming the devices that will support Thunderbolt are coming out soon). So what’s included? The 21.5-inch…

Why I regret the day I purchased anything but an iPhone

Why I regret the day I purchased anything but an iPhone

I’ve been a huge supporter of Android over the past year. Ever since I purchased my Droid X, things have been okay. I’m checking my email, staying on top of social networks, and flinging Angry Birds around. But asking any more of my Android device is far too much, and that’s a big problem. What am I doing with an Android device, you ask? I didn’t have a choice in the matter. AT&T’s service was practically non-existent where I lived, which is amazing considering AT&T’s bold claims of their impressive network. And in 2010, the possibility of the iPhone on Verizon was only a rumor. Owning an iPhone…

T-Mobile iPhone 4 in the works

T-Mobile iPhone 4 in the works

It was bound to happen sooner or later, and it appears that Apple is making preparations for the eventual T-Mobile iPhone 4. A report by BGR says that a T-Mobile-enabled iPhone prototype has been leaked with some interesting feature speculation. It is possibly utilizing the A5 chip like the one in the fabled iPhone 4S, according to 9to5Mac.  The prototype is dubbed “N94″ following the Verizon “N92.” Here are some leaked images courtesy of BGR: …

Apple Suing Samsung, But...

Apple Suing Samsung, But...

With Apple in the process of suing Samsung for stealing the design used for iPhone and iPad, some interesting images have surfaced on the Internet that may reverse the claim: It just goes to show that if you’re going to go after someone, you should be sure that they don’t have a counter-claim against you….

All-out patent war between Apple and Samsung brewing

All-out patent war between Apple and Samsung brewing

Apple is suing Samsung for allegedly infringing on some of Apple’s patents — you know, that whole iPhone idea? — and Samsung, in response, is threatening litigation of its own, stating that Apple is allegedly infringing on some of Samsung’s wireless technology patents. This sounds typical, but this one is different. From the outside looking in, it might be acceptable to call Apple and Samsung close partners in the tech industry. Apple has purchased $5.7 billion worth of electronic parts from Samsung in 2010. That is a serious investment that can’t be overlooked. Both companies seemingly…

Steve Jobs: The Man, The Legend, The Book

Steve Jobs: The Man, The Legend, The Book

Hold onto your TV Hat – Simon & Schuster are publishing the official biography of Steve Jobs. Written by TIME editor Walter Isaacson, the man behind the biographies of other revolutionary geniuses such as Ben Franklin and Einstein, ‘iSteve: The Book of Jobs’ will chronicle Big Steve’s formation, leave from, return to, and command of Apple’s intense legacy. The biography will be based on information gleaned from three years of interviews Isaacson personally conducted with Jobs, his family, friends, enemies, co-workers, and everyone in between. Suffice it to say, this will most certainly…

Woz Wants Back In - If He

Woz Wants Back In - If He's Asked

Steve Wozniak has admitted he’s return to Apple ‘if asked’, reports Reuters. ‘I’d consider it, yeah’, said Woz in an interview this week when asked if he would ever return to the company to take a more active role. With Jobs on indefinite hiatus, perhaps that isn’t the craziest idea. Woz called Apple’s success in recent years ‘unbelievable’, but wished Apple would commit to a more open strategy, so he could ‘get in there and add [his] own touches’. ‘There’s just an awful lot I know about Apple products and competing products that has some relevance, some meaning,’ said Woz during the interview. ‘They’re…

iPod Nano Gets Its Camera Back, Becomes Spy Gear

iPod Nano Gets Its Camera Back, Becomes Spy Gear

Straight outta Asia comes the rumour that the seventh-gen iPod Nano may, in fact, be getting its camera back. Fans of the Nano likely remember a time before Big Steve decided the unit had to better live up to its name by being condensed into an unnecessarily small space. That time bore unto us an iPod that was light on stature, but big on the ability to take pictures – an ability that was heartbreakingly removed from the bite-size current model. However, Apple.pro has leaked a photograph which seems to do little but confirm the existence of an impending camera on the next Nano, which will retain its current…

Apple Wants You To Believe in the iPad 2

Apple Wants You To Believe in the iPad 2

Despite selling out quickly and showing no signs of slowing, Apple released an ad that is geared towards expanding the brand and bringing a human touch to the technology. Everything about the ad is psychologically intended to promote the device as a lifestyle-changing element of daily existence. It’s brilliant. Is it necessary? No. The iPad 2 will sell what the iPad 2 will sell, which will likely break records over time, depending on how long it takes to get to the iPad 3. Still, it’s good to see the company continuing to press its domination in the tablet segment by attempting to go beyond the tech-oriented…

Analog iPad 2

Analog iPad 2

Sometimes, processor speed isn’t everything. Sometimes you want something kitschy and slow, that moves at 8 or fewer frames per second. You know how hipsters listen to cassette tapes for no other reason than they suck more than MP3s? This is like that, but more iPad-y. Ukrainian artist Svetlana Shokhanova has done a bang-up job of recreating the iPad experience with nothing but plasticine and a cute, shuffly indie tune, and the result is something I honestly wish we could see without the aid of stop-motion technology. honestly, tactile screens can’t come fast enough….

All Dreams of New Apple Hardware at WWDC Are Destroyed

All Dreams of New Apple Hardware at WWDC Are Destroyed

Were you hoping for a new iPad, iPhone, or other Apple-related gadget at the almost-instantly-sold-out Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 6? Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there isn’t going to be any. Apple has stated that WWDC 2011 is all about software. What this means is that iOS is likely to receive a major facelift in the near future. Heavy emphasis on software and iOS improvements are going to be made this summer. And, personally, I’m betting that some big announcement involving music is going to happen. Of course, we will also probably see Mac OS X Lion making its way…
