Sources of MacRumors cite a tip from a developer in suggesting the next-generation iPad could be packing in Apple's new dual-core A6 processor, or a variation of that chip. The developer is said to have spotted signs of an "iPad3,6" device showing up in his app analytics - a model previously unknown. The device, which, taking into consideration the name, we'll presume to be an iPad, targets the new ARMv7s architecture used within the A6 SoC Apple has just showcased as powering the iPhone 5.
It may not be everyone's favorite subject but mathematics is integral to the world around us and plays a part in all of our lives in some form or another. Giving the importance of the topic, it makes perfect sense that mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad will have some pretty powerful and complex apps that allow us to learn math and assist in problem solving techniques. Named after the legendary Greek Mathematician, the Archimedes app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is one of those such creations.

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!
Although speculation regarding the so-called "iPad Mini" has, for the most part, been quiet recently due to the release of Apple's iPhone 5, the rumor mill is back in business, and along with the easily-attainable Chinese mockup of the device which has been doing the rounds frequently, UkrainianiPhone has released some shots of the device unseen in the wild hitherto.
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.

With the launch of the iPhone 5 and subsequent furor regarding iOS 6, the murmurs regarding the iPad Mini have died down somewhat over the past couple of weeks. However, CNN Fortune has learned through a “major Apple investor” that the Cupertino, California-based company will be releasing invitations for the special iPad Mini event on October 10th. This not only indicates the launch will likely be toward the latter stages of the month, but also infers shipping will begin early November, as opposed to this month, as some had previously speculated.
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.

iOS 6 Maps has received its fair share of criticism from the customers and the press, prompting Apple to publish an apologetic letter on their official website’s landing page, and even suggesting users to use third-party alternatives until iOS 6 Maps improve.
