Getting files onto iOS devices isn't always the easiest thing in the world, but apps like GoodReader do make it possible. The key to making a good downloader app is to make sure that it can also view the most popular file types that people are likely to be downloading, otherwise you're just going to be stuck with files that you can't do anything with.
Prompted into action by Google's release of the Chromecast dongle last year, Apple has been on something of a mission to bring more content to its famed set-top. Sure, we haven't seen any new hardware for a good couple of years now as far as Apple TV is concerned, but for those in ownership of the current-gen models, there are now dozens of channels and services to choose from. For sports fans, the introduction of NFL Now is likely to go down well, and if you don't happen to own the Cupertino company's little black box, you'll be pleased to learn that Amazon Fire TV and Yahoo Screen should also reap the benefits of NFL Now over the next few weeks.

Apple's next-generation iPhone is said to be just a few weeks shy of its official announcement, but even though the length of time between now and September 9th isn't particularly extensive, it's an age in blogosphere terms. If the purported date turns out to be true, then we'll certainly see a few dozen more leaks as that key date approaches, and having seen a number of schematic drawings in recent times, a new sketch apparently details the protruding nature of the rear-facing camera component.
Apple's iconic retail stores are recognizable the world over, but despite the company having broadened its horizons significantly over the past few years, major cities and shopping malls across the world have yet to be graced with the presence of the famed, glass-clad outlets. Rumor has long since suggested that a very sizeable store would soon grace the United Arab Emirates, with reports also implying that it would be the biggest Apple Retail Store to date, and now, it seems as though Dubai's Mall of the Emirates will soon play host to a vast Apple Store.
In the world of hardware virtualization, Parallels is arguably the biggest player on the Mac. Being able to use a Mac computer full time but still dabble in Windows when needed can be a pretty powerful thing, especially if you develop apps for Microsoft's platform, or just need to use an app that doesn't yet have a Mac version. As much as Apple wouldn't like to admit it, sometimes you just need to use Windows for some things.
With Apple expected to announce the iPhone 6 within a matter of weeks it's obvious that the final hardware is locked in and that the phone is currently in the same configuration as the handsets we'll be picking up at stores towards the end of September. We've seen plenty of leaks surrounding both the front and rear panels of the iPhone 6, as well as various different parts of its innards, so there's little to truly come as a surprise this time around.

As consumers, we tend to focus on the more obvious new features when assessing the improvements being made to a new device. In the case of the iPhone 6, we've mainly concentrated on the slicker, thinner form factor and larger display, but as per the sizeable pile of evidence relating to Apple's next handset, there's plenty else to look forward to besides. It has been mentioned on several occasions that the device will pack improved connectivity, with faster Wi-Fi and cellular, and a new tidbit of info may finally have offered some key details on the latter.
