Podcast listeners and viewers around the world, rejoice, for soon you may have a new way of managing your podcasts on your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch if reports are to be believed.

On Monday, the world got its first look at iOS 6 after it was officially announced by Apple at this year's WWDC event, and of all the features anticipated and discovered, the replacement of Google Maps with the new, Cupertino-engineered offering was easily one of the most exciting.
The My Xbox LIVE app only dropped for Android a couple of days ago (released contemporaneously with a significant update to the iOS iteration), but already, Microsoft has released Kinectimals for Android - rendering it the very first Microsoft game for Google's market-leading mobile operating system.
One of the great things about Apple as a company is that you can never really be sure of what they are going to do or try next in their pursuit for excellence across their extremely popular consumer technology product ranges. Apple is one the only few companies across the world who have the financial might and status to be able to lazily play around with ideas and hobby projects that may not term into long-term products or even make it to the market place.
Whilst many features of the next iPhone device remain a rumor or mystery, the consensus seems to be that the unofficially-dubbed "iPhone 5" device will be the first Apple smartphone to include a 4G LTE chip.

If that sing-off contest needs to be in the form of a rap battle, then you'll probably need to sit down for a minute to compose yourself before we go any further.
We live in a world that contains multiple file types, all of which serve their purpose on devices like the iPhone and iPod touch which are capable of doing so many wonderful things. It is understandable why Apple allows only certain file types to be included when sending and receiving iMessages and text messages, after all, it could get extremely messy if every file type could be used within short messages.
In a bid to raise awareness with regards to humanity's lack of satisfactory progress since the 1969 moon landing, video director Jason Hakala and a couple of his pals decided to launch an iPhone into space by mode of a helium balloon. The stunt was timed to coincide with the 50-year anniversary of John Glenn's orbit of the earth, but to add a little twist to proceedings, he also took the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend.
Desperately trying to stay relevant in an industry that is doing its best to leave them behind, Microsoft is set to hold an event on June 18th for what is being called a 'major new announcement' from the company.
