If, like us, you're already perched on the edge of your seat waiting for Apple's WWDC to kick off, then be pleased that you don't have much longer to wait.
Once of the most hotly anticipated announcements expected tomorrow at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is the next major release of their mobile operating system iOS 6. While we are still almost 24 hours away from the start of the event, we’ve received news of a potential beta release of iOS 6 that will be released right after the keynote tomorrow. Check out the details after the jump!
I'm not sure which is more annoying; the fact Apple has decided to allow the native iOS YouTube app to fester with little-to-no improvement since the initial iPhone launched all the way back in 2007, or that whenever a YouTube link is selected, one is forced - by default - to view the video in aforementioned app.
There can be no denying the fact that the Instagram app has been insanely successful since its launch onto the iOS platform. What started out as a simple service allowing users to take a photograph, apply some filters and upload it to the Instagram network ultimately ended up with the social networks’ biggest player, Facebook, stepping in and slapping $1 billion in cash and stocks on the table to buy it.
There are many apps over at the iTunes App Store which purport to over the very best assistance to those leading busy, productive lives. Unfortunately, many don't just don’t live up to our expectation, but OmniPlan for iPad is a truly wonderful, near-flawless example of an app for those constantly juggling several tasks or projects at any given time.
If ever confirmation was needed that iOS 6 will be showcased at this year's WWDC event - set to kick off on Monday - then one Instagram member has removed any lingering doubt. Brought to our attention by 9to5Mac, Zac Altman, member of the popular social image-sharing app recently acquired by Facebook, has upped a photo showing a new banner being readied over at the Moscone West convention center, confirming beyond dispute that the sixth iteration of Apple's mobile operating system will be a huge significant talking point from Monday.
With every launch of a new a new iOS device and every major Apple conference or media event, there is inevitably going to be a seemingly never-ending string of rumors flying around the world wide web. In the past, we have seen some pretty far fetched and out-there speculation, as well as some conjecture that resonates and turns out to be true.
With Apple being largely responsible for reinvigorating the music industry at the turn of the century and introducing the world to digital downloads, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch are so popular for consumers who are looking for a rich music and media playback experience.
Google has recently announced big changes to its mobile mapping services, with upcoming features including an interesting-looking offline mode, and with Apple set to ditch Google for its own, in-house iOS maps offering, Google quite clearly needs to remain on its toes in the mobile game.
When Apple launched the first iPad, many derided it as simply a media consumption device. With all the talk of reading books, watching movies and listening to music, Apple had inadvertently made its new tablet into something that the public had decided was unable to create just about anything bar a stir in the local Starbucks.
