With tablet and smartphone devices offering so much to consumers in this digital era, we often state in jest that it'll only be a matter of time before our treasured devices begin making toast, pouring drinks, and developing minds of their own.
Everything Everywhere, the collaborative marketing effort of T-Mobile and Orange - two of the UK's foremost carriers - is said to be readying demonstrations and point of sales for a "new iPad" in its nationwide outlets.
As if any more confirmation was needed that the next iPad is ready and waiting for the March 7th launch, tech blog Ars Technica has discovered visitors using iPads running iOS 6 in its server logs.
It seems that if you are the type of person who has a particular interest in watching competing technology companies go head to head in a legal battle, then Germany, or more specifically, Munich Regional Courts is the place where you should be. It is no secret that patent infringement cases have been sprouting up all over the place, with companies like Motorola Mobility, Apple and Samsung all trying desperately to get one up on each other through the legal system and strike a victory blow in the tense battle for smartphone domination.
Although an iOS device can be easily secured by means of a passcode, the continual inputting of your secret combination can quickly become repetitive - to the point where you may feel locking your device isn't so important after all.
Privacy - particularly in this most digital of times - is a massive deal. You don't have to look a great deal further than the commotion surrounding Google's big privacy policy amendment today to realize that consumers care a great deal about privacy, and will kick and scream to the high hills if said privacy is threatened in any way.
Before a product is announced, the actual name of it is always a speculative, educated guessing game.

We can all sit back comfortably knowing that in the next few days the Apple rumor train, which has been rife recently, will soon descend back into the station, at least until we start nearing another product launch. In the last few days we were treated to reports which surrounded a leaked photograph of what was believed to be the front glass and digitizer for the soon to be announced third generation iPad. If the images found on the Sina Weibo, the Chinese Twitter equivalent, do represent the front panel for the new Apple tablet then it would appear that not a great deal has changed aesthetically other than the connection ribbon.
Here at Redmond Pie, we spend a great deal of time looking at the very best apps and games for Android and iOS in particular, but admittedly, most of them are centered around perfect productivity and catchy physics.
The majority of iOS device owners who choose to go down the root of jailbreaking, do so because of the functionality enhancements that it can provide. By installing Cydia as a byproduct of the jailbreak process, users are presented with a near endless supply of tweaks and modifications which can dramatically improve the already excellent user experience of an iPhone or iPad. One such tweak that can provide this enhanced experience is the one that we are pretty sure most community members have heard of, comes from developer Grant Paul (chpwn)and goes by the name of 'Zephyr'.
