Hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement, Belkin has acted promptly to introduce a range of new cases and accessories for Apple's recently introduced iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3. The newly created range of accessories includes a range of unique keyboard cases under the QODE naming convention, as well as multiple protective covers and cases that have been perfectly designed and manufactured to fit the contours of Apple's iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3. If you're planning on purchasing one of the two new pieces of kit, then it's encouraging to know there are already varying types of accessories being made available.

There's good news on the horizon for members of the Google Glass Explorers initiative. As part of the continued development of the internal software that powers Google's intelligent eyewear, the company has introduced a new feature that will allow users to view all phone notifications via Glass. As things stand at the moment, Glass owners are only able to view and interact with notifications that are presented as part of Glass compatible apps. This will be extended to fall in line with the notification-forwarding system that allows Android Wear wearables to receive every notification as it's received on the connected device.
Interbrand, one of the world's leading and most recognized brand consultancies, has just released its Best Global Brands list for 2014, and there's no prizes for guessing who sits on top of the rankings.
Now that Apple has officially announced the existence of a dedicated media event next week, let the intense speculation begin. We've been expecting the invitations to arrive for quite some time, with the general consensus being that Tim Cook will unite his executive team once again in San Francisco to introduce the world to the future of the iPad. As part of that introduction, Apple is heavily expected to announce the second-generation iPad Air, which will of course feature a plethora of upgraded and new components in its hardware DNA, including this 2GB Elpida RAM chip, if the latest leaks are to be believed.
It is clearly evident from the early sales figures that Apple's latest iPhone has resonated with the smartphone community. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch jumbo-sized iPhone 6 Plus are flying off bricks and mortar and digital shelves in every country they are available in, with the Cupertino company adding more territories weekly. Tim Cook's company has also acted quickly to put recent India based speculation to rest by issuing a press release to announce that both iPhone 6 models will be available in the South Asian country on October 17, with pre-orders becoming available even earlier.
Apple's decision to launch a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone may have ruffled a few feathers and divided opinion right down the middle, but there's one thing that's for sure; the jumbo-sized iPhone 6 Plus will definitely appeal to those who love to create, edit and consume media on the move. The 5.5-inch Retina HD display of the iPhone 6 Plus makes watching high-definition videos, swiping through photograph galleries and just generally interacting with any visual content an absolute pleasure. For those individuals who love creating and sharing moving masterpieces, Adobe has just launched its Premiere Clip application for iPhone & iPad, designed and developed to make editing videos a much simpler and more enjoyable task.
Apple's initial foray into the world of wearable technology has been speculated, analyzed and discussed consistently over the last 18 months, but only made official when Tim Cook introduced us to the Apple Watch on September 9th. After showing off the beautiful aesthetics of the various models, brushing over the important technical specifications, and showing the obligatory Apple marketing video pertaining to the watch, Cook would only say that the wrist wear would be launched sometime during "early 2015". So, no shiny new Apple Watch in time for the festive season, but if reports emerging from China are to be believed then we could be looking at a worldwide February 2015 launch for the wearable.
Tuesday's introduction of Windows 10 has pretty much everyone in the tech stratosphere discussing the reasoning behind the decision to miss out Windows 9. The majority of pundits and technology analysts involved in keeping abreast of Microsoft news were pretty sure that the company would release an all-singing, all-dancing product that would make the usual evolutionary jump up the naming ladder from Windows 8 to Windows 9. Alas, that was not to be the case, but why you ask? According to one Reddit user, a piece of common code found in a large set of third-party apps could provide us with an answer to that problem.
We've got the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. We've had an initial look at the soon-to-be-released Apple Watch. We've even see a glimpse at what Apple deems to be the future of mobile payments using NFC in Apple Pay. That leaves us with nothing but time to focus and mull over what the Cupertino company could potentially have in line for us with the future of the iPad. It's pretty much a given that we will see an iPad refresh before the end of the year, but keeping in line with previous reports and leaks, Bloomberg is now adding weight to the speculation that any new full-size iPad could be offered in multiple colors.
If you're approaching this festive season with one eye on purchasing a low-cost laptop or an extremely cheap Android tablet then it could be worth holding off on the usual - but somewhat limited - options.
