If you're a fan of comic books, specifically those of the Marvel variety, 2012 has been a pretty fruitful year in terms of solid app and movie releases. Every month seems to have brought a new movie and / or mobile app, and with The Amazing Spider-Man now showing at all good cinemas, The Amazing Spider-Man Second Screen app has just been released for Apple's iPad.
Apple’s “iPad Mini” has been strongly rumored ever since the announcement, release and success of smaller and cheaper tablets like the Kindle Fire, and more recently, Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD. With the hype surrounding iPhone 5 settling down, rumors for the iPad Mini are coming in hot!
The last few weeks have been extremely busy for Apple with the official public release of iOS 6 and the sixth-generation iPhone, and if today's speculation is anything to go by then it looks like Apple is set to ramp things up to the next level. Reports are suggesting that Apple has started the initial process of manufacturing the rumored iPad Mini that we have been hearing so much about in the Federative Republic of Brazil.
Although the iPad Mini, which has recently been speculated as launching later this month, doesn't have a solid list of leaked specs as yet, there have been plenty of mockups purporting to represent its final design. To give us an idea of how it'll stand against its competitors once released, Nowhereelse.fr has compared the mockup with the Google-ASUS Nexus 7, and the Kindle Fire HD, recently announced by online retailer Amazon.
Process Is A Fully-Featured Photo-Editing App For iOS With Tons Of Effects And Photo-Editing Options
Although mobile devices are renowned for their endless benefits in many fields, one category emerging with emphasis is that of photography. The end of last year saw Apple vote image-editing app Snapseed as its favorite, and a few months into 2012, Facebook purchased the rampant social image-sharing app Instagram, in hindsight, was a lot easier for Zuck and Co. than trying to compete with it.
There is no denying that the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad are fantastic and powerful little devices when it comes to music and video playback. That experience has been improved a little with the new interface of the Music app that ships with iOS 6. For those who love their iOS devices but can't bring themselves to get involved with iTunes to handle music and videos, then iOS developer Jonas Gessner may have the answer for those who are jailbroken.
Every now and then, a jailbreak package comes along that seems like it should have been a part of Apple's own implementation of iOS. The new Merge tweak that has been unveiled by Joshua Tucker and Andrew Richardson during the JailbreakCon event in San Francisco is one of those creations and it wouldn't be surprising if Apple actually adopted it going forward. Merge greatly improves the iMessage feature on compatible iOS devices by merging conversations into one on a per contact basis.
Although you can bookmark Google Maps on your iOS 6-running device’s home screen, but the experience is somewhat hampered since the web app opens up in Mobile Safari. We have come across a way on how to run the web app in full-screen mode along with the old iOS Google Maps icon for an even better, immersive Google Maps experience on iOS 6.
As you'll probably be aware, this year's Worldwide Jailbreak Convention (WWJC '12) will commence in a short while, and unlike Apple's WWDC keynotes, the celebration and insight into the jailbreaking community will be available to watch as a live stream; details after the jump!
With the iPhone 5 officially announced and launched across dozens of countries, it’s time we move on to discussing the next expected iOS device release: that of the iPad Mini.
