The iOS App Store Is Just About To Pass 10 Billion Downloads
Holy crap; remember when the App Store surpassing 1 billion downloads was a nearly mind-blowing feat? Less than 2 years later, Apple is just a few million copies of Angry Birds away from cracking past 10 billion. As with the 1 billion download landmark, Apple’s going to give away a $10,000 giftcard to whoever nabs that 10 billionth download. Sadly, you won’t be getting the iPod Touch, Time Capsule, and MacBook Pro from the first round — but hey, ten thousand bucks never hurts. Unless you fire ...

2011 is shaping up to be quite a big year for Apple as not only are they expected to announce a sequel to the iPhone 5 but the device is expected to make the jump from AT&T to Verizon as well. However, the iPhone is not Apple’s only highly sought after product as the iPad too has seen itself in headlines more than one can count. With Q1 of 2011 upon us, many have wondered ...

The iPoo is not a toilet bowl
We all know that ever since Apple introduced the iPod, many different manufacturers came up with names that began with the letter “i” for their products and even their own brand names. Naturally most of these copy cat devices weren’t the most impressive consumer electronics and some did all right (iRiver anyone?) but one thing remains – companies who aren’t Apple still like to use the “i” in names and some of them are outright ...

TekTrak phone locator offers two-use free version
Just because Apple released a Find My iPhone app and then made it free, doesn't mean there isn't room for a little friendly competition.
TekTrak originally took on Apple's built-in iPhone location service by offering TekTrak Pro at a one-time $4.99 instead of Mobile Me's $99 annual fee. Now that Apple made it free to iOS 4.2 users on ...

Apple lovers in Japan camp out for ‘Lucky Bag’ sale
Retailers in Japan have a new year shopping tradition of selling 'lucky bags,' which contain an assortment of items whose value typically exceed the price you pay for the bag. To the delight of many Apple fanboys here in Tokyo, 'lucky bags' are also sold at the Apple store. But at 30,000 yen (about $370) they don't come cheap.
Even at that price demand is sky-high, and only the most dedicated of Apple fans can get them. Shoppers typically ...

iPhone alarms may fail to activate on New Year’s Day
If you're using your iPhone or iPod touch as your primary alarm clock, it might be time to reconsider. In 2010, Apple had well-publicized difficulties with the switchover to Daylight Saving Time. Alarms failed to go off at their proper times, causing thousands of people in the Southern Hemisphere to wake up an hour early and many more thousands in the Northern Hemisphere to wake up an hour late. Now yet another bug has struck Apple's Clock ...

iPod nano hacked to run some Apps
I think we all know that iPhones and iPads can be hacked, but what about the iPod nano.
We all know that it the iPod Nano looks great on a watch, but would you like to see Apps on it. You can see it on the video, complete with the scrolling with a finger.
According to my Source, the hack isn’t powered by iOS, so don’t expect iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch interfaces as yet. It is a rehashed version of the previous nano’s ...
Solar Vox Charging Station: Another way to charge by the sun
We are not stranger to solar-powered chargers here, like the Solio, Solar Arcadia, and the Hymini solar powered charger.
This is the Solar Vox charging station, and it is designed to charge a portable device by harnessing the sun’s rays at many angles. Think of it as sort of a sundial to capture the sunlight in optimal conditions.
You will note that it has a hollow place to ...
