My first inclination is to say I don't want a smart watch. Usually watches only last a few months with me as I take them off and lose them... But that might be the killer app if I can use my iPhone to find where I've lost my iWatch. Doing a bit …

As a developer I own a large number of iOS devices. I also buy an Android device each year to track the market. Last year I bought Nexus 7, this year I bought Kindle Fire HD, 8.9" The iOS devices are trouble free, though the iPad 1's …

Mine is just under a year old and just won't boot. No matter how long I leave it plugged in to the charger it just appears dead. So I'll be making a warranty claim. All my iPads including some 3 years old still work perfectly. The only other ta…

gadgetcanadav2 A developer can already suspend an app from the app store by temporarily removing it from sale. The problem here is with the developer and not Apple.

Any developer can remove the gloss from their App Icon, its configurable by the dev. We did it with our apps starting two years ago. The gloss had its day, its over. A small but distinct improvement imho.

This looks unlikely and could easily be faked. The only possibility is that Apple has made prototypes with an external casing to hide the real design. I know for a fact that with the iPad early prototypes were only given to testers with the device …

Things are bad enough already with publications like Wired sourcing sub standard imagery from Flickr instead of paying for already low priced stock photography. Yes, there are good images on Flickr, I'm not talking about that, rather the actual bad …

I have a kindle, in some ways prefer it for reading ebooks as the backing is warm plastic, quite like that. But if feels terribly restrictive as a device, its not obvious how to do certain things Amazon doesn't want you to do, like download a Gut…

I think the beauty of the iPad is that for education much can be achieved via the free OSX iBooks Author application which does not require programming skills. Thus there is no reason to create custom apps to generating content that is suitable as …

This isn't a payment though, it's just PR, a chance to enter a competition. Big deal. If the app is good enough it will make money in any case, winning a competition is a nice to have extra but wouldn't result in us changing our business strategy an…

I thinkg tkell31 has a point. The journalist is biased, no doubt, but he is reporting two different things. In the first case with the iPhone 5, expectations were very high, and were not met. In the second case with Samsung, they are showing a g…

I think this won't help that much, though there is nothing wrong for virtual currencies for purchasing apps and in-apps, it worked well for Facebook, look at Zynga, very successful. The main problem with buying apps on the Kindle Fire is... its r…

How ungrateful. One week an find my iPhone helps capture a Boston Terrorist, the next week the journos have forgotten!

There's skeuomorphism done badly but it can be done well. For example the OSX windowing system uses subtle shading which is skeuomorphic but its not directly representational. So a periodicals shelf that is made of something 'glassy' might keep …

I'm wondering... why has no one more knowledgable about finance explained what the impact of a $60Bn share buy back is? Foolishly it seems to me if the market capitalisation of AAPL is $413Bn then this effectively would increase value of the other…

The valuable part is access to the Apple engineers and other sessions with contact with other parts of Apple. But the bulk of the event is the conference program, and I don't see why that could not be streamed in real time. I would probably pay …
