All talk of the purported iPad Mini has been relatively quiet during the past month or two, but with Google announcing its Nexus 7 tablet at the I/O fanfare last week, more information appears to be surfacing with regards to how Apple plans to tackle the very powerful, inexpensive device.
Earlier this year, Apple was sued in China by Proview Technology International Holdings Ltd. and had their iPad tablet banned in different parts of the company due to a trademark conflict.
Not sure about you guys residing in various parts of the world, but here in the UK, the weather is quite a big deal - primarily because summer usually occurs for a few hours each year, while the cold, wet and dark period is an almost permanent fixture.
Fans of the consumer technology world, specifically Apple related products, will obviously be aware of the fact that when it comes to announcements or releases, the rumor mill always manages to kick into overdrive. Speculation overdrive usually occurs during the standard release schedule for Apple devices, but if the most recent reports are anything to go by then we might be onto something new.
Google is firing on all cylinders at Google I/O 2012. They’ve announced a new, much improved version of Android – Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, an accompanying Nexus tablet that’s getting rave reviews, new and updated Google apps and services and, more recently, Google Chrome for iOS devices.

Regardless of whether you want to be Superman, Batman, The Green Lantern or one of the other spandex clad heroes, the time has come for you to lock yourself indoors and prepare for some serious web slinging action as Gameloft has officially released The Amazing Spider-Man game for iOS and Android.
Google I/O 2012 has so far exceeded all expectations I had from the event. The number and variety of announcements is enough to rival Apple’s at WWDC. So far, we’ve seen an updated version of Android (4.1 Jelly Bean), a Nexus tablet, a show-stopping Google Glasses demo and, the news we will be discussing in this post, new Google+ apps and features. Check it out after the jump.
If you’re an iPhone owner since 2007, the introduction of iOS 6 may represent what seems like the passing of an old friend as Apple cast out the old and brought in the new with the replacement of Google Maps with their own mapping system.
