The Apple media event has been confirmed, the date is on our diaries and now we sit patiently to see what the next six days bring us in terms of news and possible insight into what Tim Cook and his team will bring us when they adorn the stage of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. It's all but guaranteed that the new sixth-generation iPhone will be the main focal point of the media event, but there is still a strong possibility that we will be treated to a couple of new iPods or even the mysterious iPad Mini that we have been hearing so much about.
Despite having not released any new material for quite a while now, the wacky pop star Lady Gaga remains a press reporter's dream. Famed for her unusual outfits and antics as well as her chart-smashing success, she has a legion of fans she affectionately refers to as "little monsters," and on a social network created especially for her superfans, Gaga has announced her next album will be released as an app for Apple's iPhone and iPad.
Although Apple has now officially confirmed that there will indeed be a media event taking place on September 12th at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, we can all breathe a heavy sigh of relief and get our credit cards ready for whatever the company announces on that day. It's widely expected that Apple will introduce us to the sixth-generation iPhone, but considering the rumor that we will see up to eight new Apple products released between now and the end of October, the possibility still remains that the Cupertino giants could announce a couple of new iPods on Wednesday or even the new iPad Mini that we have all been expecting. The chances for the latter actually happening are extremely low, though.
If you've even the remotest insight into the mobile app and gaming sphere, you'll undoubtedly have stumbled across Angry Birds on a number of occasions. In fact, you wouldn't even have needed to pick up a smartphone or slab to have encountered the immensely-popular title, and the fact it can be played in Chrome, on Facebook, Windows or Mac suggests nobody has managed to avoid those pesky multicolored poultry.
Angry Birds is one of those games which either invokes emotions of extreme joy with mobile gamers, or manages to send you down the other path entirely and frustrate and annoy you to the point of deletion. As an iPhone and iPad owner, the game has single handedly managed to drive me round the bend as well as filling countless hours of boredom with the excitement that comes attached with flinging rage filled birds with varying powers at lethargic and nomadic swine. Regardless of my personal love-hate affair with the Angry Birds franchise, it's an undeniable fact that Rovio has enjoyed phenomenal success with the game, and if the latest teaser is anything to go by, then it looks like we could be in for another installment.
If you happen to be a big fan of the Hollywood legend Bruce Willis, then I apologize in advance for not bringing you the latest news about his career and when his next blockbuster movie will be hitting the big screen. Best known for his role in some of the greatest action movies ever made such as Die Hard, The Last Boy Scout and the cult classic Pulp Fiction, it looks as though Willis is temporarily putting aside fighting on-screen villains and instead choosing to fight his next battle in the courtroom as he looks to extract some iTunes related privileges out of Apple.
If you ask a random individual to mention a cloud storage provider then I imagine an everyday person would only be able to pluck a handful of names out of their minds, with Dropbox probably being the most popular. Regardless of whether you love or hate the Dropbox service, it is by far one of the easiest to get up and running with and integrates extremely well with desktop and mobile operating systems.
It seems that tweeting is the new form of texting these days, and if you aren't a part of the Twitter using clan, then I would highly recommend you register yourself and see what all the fuss is about. The popularity of Twitter is increasingly obvious due to the massive array of third-party apps and clients popping up everyday for different desktop and mobile platforms. One of the latest to find it's way into the mobile world is the Voice Tweet app that does pretty much as the name suggests.
If you find yourself sitting around with not a great deal to find trying to fight off the clutches of boredom, then it may be an indication that you need to pick up that iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and head on over to the iOS App Store to download some quality gaming titles. If inspiration is what you require to make the decision, then look no further than the latest game to be released by Square Enix; Final Fantasy Dimensions.
Now that we have officially entered the final quarter of 2012, we are undoubtedly going to start seeing an influx of new and upgraded product lines hitting shelves across the world just in time for the beginning of the holiday shopping season. It's no secret that this is one the busiest time of the year for consumers, and a good holiday season can turn a good financial year into a great one for companies who manage to launch the right product at the right time.
