There are plenty of new features purported to be arriving with the next iPhone device, and one of them is the smaller dock connector. Meanwhile, the smaller iPad (or larger iPod touch, depending on which way you look at things), is also said to be arriving shortly after the sixth Apple smartphone, and although details regarding that particular device are a little less vivid, it will undoubtedly house the smaller dock connector also.
Amid the talk of the next-generation iPhone and a smaller, "iPad Mini" device, it's easily forgotten that all of Apple's iOS devices evolved from the iPod - a long-standing series of music and media players which started off as a basic, yet elegant figure in the cauldron of digital players on the market.
There hasn’t been much news coming out of San Jose in the last few days, but that doesn't mean that the Apple vs. Samsung case isn't still bubbling away like a hot cauldron behind those large doors that stand so proudly in front of Judge Lucy Koh's courtroom. Apple has already had their turn in the legal spotlight with their appointed counsel presenting the fundamentals of their case to the judge and overseeing jury, and now it's time for Samsung's legal eagles to step into the limelight, it seems that they are taking a rather bizarre approach to defending themselves.
It’s certainly not as popular as social networks and services like Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr, but Pinterest has a massive following and huge traffic, being ranked 38th in Alexa’s world’s most traffic-heavy websites. It’s a pinboard-style photo sharing website where users can share images of their interests, hobbies, they can go through other user’s profiles and re-pin their items on their own profile much like the re-blog feature on Tumblr.
The iPhone is easily the most anticipated device to be arriving from Apple in the coming months, although the purported smaller iPad, or iPad Mini as it is being referred, is hot on its heels. The device, we are led to believe, will counter the smaller tablets cropping up in the tablet market, including the cheap-yet-powerful Google ASUS Nexus 7.
The courtroom battle between Apple and Samsung has garnered much media attention over the past few months, with the Cupertino company accusing its Korean rival of "slavishly" copying the designs of both the iPhone and iPad in order to create its Galaxy mobile device range.
Way back when, before Apple officially announced the iPad and speculation was rife as to what the iPhone maker would make of a tablet device, we all wondered whether we would get an iOS tablet, or a Mac-like slate. We really didn't know for sure, and many people hoped, even begged that Apple would bring OS X to the touch-screen market.
It may surprise some people to learn that the tablet has been around for quite some time, and although it was popularized across the world in 2010 when Apple launched the original iPad, it is worth remembering that this particular genre of consumer technology was merely brought to the world’s attention by Apple, not invented. With that said, we can pretty much thank the iPad and similar devices for giving us the tablet boom which we are currently experiencing, and as the market matures, things are only likely to get better in this space.
It will take weeks and months before the whole Apple vs. Samsung lawsuit in the USA gets resolved, and until then we’ll continue to receive juicy bits of insider information on both company’s design processes, prototypes for current products and plans for upcoming ones. Today, we’ve received news related to Apple’s previous intentions and efforts on striking a hefty per smartphone / tablet licensing deal with Samsung. Check out the details after the jump.
