The latest speculation from the tech world suggests that Apple have a dedicated team of over 100 people working on the design, development and marketing of their purported iWatch. Backers are starting to receive the first shipments of the fantastic Pebble smart watch that managed to attract over $10 million worth of funding through the Kickstarter initiative. It seems that intelligent watches are all the rage at the minute, which is why it is quite staggering that we are set to see the world's first independent smart watch introduced in mid-April. And boy does it pack a punch.
The exciting buzz surrounding wearable technology is showing so signs of dispersing any time soon, so it seems only right and proper that Apple should be at least taking a passive look at the potential of infiltrating the market with their own device. The potential for Apple to develop and release their own smart watch has been on the our radar for quite some time, but it seems that Bloomberg are now falling in line with other large media outlets in suggesting that the iWatch is a very real product with significant resources being thrown behind it.
We are only days away from the organized event that will introduce to the world Sony's next-generation gaming console, but while Sony may be keen to reveal what they have been working on with Orbis; Microsoft on the other hand are remaining tight lipped. The lack of public information from the Redmond company shouldn't come as any great surprise, but we do have a plethora of leaked information to wade through in the meantime, starting with a source who is already familiar to the community.
If you've been trying to get your hands on one of Microsoft's 128GB Surface Pro tablets then the chances are that you've already come across some difficulties in sourcing a retail location that has them in stock. The majority of locations are showing that Microsoft's powerhouse tablet is out of stock of the 128GB model, with minimal supplies of the smaller 64GB variant being available. The fact that users have acted quickly in snapping up the stock is bitter sweet for Microsoft. Great that there is a keen interest in the product, but potentially problematic, considering the official Surface Pro advertisement campaign has begun with the launch of "The Vibe" TV spot.
When it comes to Apple based rumors, we have learned in the past that there is generally no smoke without fire, which could be a particularly interesting idiom for technology lovers considering the speculation surrounding an Apple branded wrist watch just won't seem to go away. We've been hearing for quite some time that Apple is planning on jumping aboard the smart watch band wagon, but additional fuel has been added to the fire thanks to unnamed sources residing within the company's Cupertino campus.
If you jumped on-board the Evasi0n bandwagon to jailbreak iOS 6 / iPhone 5 last Monday, chances are high that you have been experiencing a number of small issues with how your iOS device performs. Thanks to the Evad3rs team – the people behind the Evasi0n untethered jailbreak – another update has just been pushed out to the Evasi0n untether package on Cydia and the jailbreak tool itself, ensuring that a lot of small bugs are ironed out for a smoother jailbreak experience for new users.
Everyone who takes active interest in the developments within the smartphone and consumer technology industries seem to love a good Apple related rumor. It's probably a good thing as well, considering speculation regarding the next-generation of any Apple product seems to occur almost immediately after the release of the current model. Now that the 128GB fourth-generation iPad has come to fruition and is off the conjecture radar, attention is being turned back to the iPhone and the potential for Apple to release two new models before the end of the current year.
The roller-coaster ride surrounding the introduction of the Evasi0n jailbreak has certainly managed to provide its fair share of thrills and spills. The interest in the latest jailbreak has hit unprecedented levels, with more than 100,00 individuals downloading the package in the first ten minutes of availability and Jay Freeman's Cydia servers getting bombarded more than 14,000 times per second at the peak of the traffic spike. Concerned iOS users have been fearing that the liberation could be over before it has really began with the introduction of the iOS 6.1.1 beta 1 by Apple last night, but that fear has been squashed by Pod2g, if only for the time being.
Apple's range of iPhone, iPad and Mac hardware generates significant interest and revenue for the company, but there is also an extremely healthy interest in the software that leaves through the company's Cupertino doors and ends up on our digital shelves. The company's iOS firmware has been top of the discussion agenda over the last few weeks for various reasons, but we mustn't forget the recent speculation and interest surrounding the next-generation of Mac OS X. We are under no illusion that Apple will manage to blindside us with certain aspects of OS X 10.9, but it seems that the current recruitment drive for interface engineers is suggesting that Apple's next desktop OS could come bundled with the Siri digital assistant, as mentioned before as well.
