If big stories in tech are your forté, 2012 will have been a real treat. This year has had it all – buyouts, lawsuits, great releases, and of course, great fails. Here, we round up these past twelve months with a quick look back at the revelations that had us all fixated.

We are just under one week away from the recently confirmed Apple media event, which will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10AM PST on Wednesday March 7th. During the event we will finally get to see just what Tim Cook and the rest of the Apple engineers have been secretly producing for us. It is pretty much nailed on that we will see the announcement of the next-generation iPad which will bring to an end the twelve month spot in the limelight that the fantastic iPad 2 has been enjoying since March 2011. With the help of the creative team over at iCarbons.com in Titusville, Florida, Redmond Pie would like to celebrate the life of Apple’s second generation tablet.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be in the presence of some of the finest and most influential members of the jailbreaking community. Scores of iOS modding enthusiasts, reporters and developers turned out for the first ever jailbreak convention, now called JailbreakCon (formerly MyGreatFest), of which Redmond Pie was one of the key sponsors.

After having been announced back in March, the day has finally come! The first ever iOS device jailbreaking convention will be held tomorrow in London at the Old Truman Brewery at Brick Lane.

It is with great pleasure to announce that Redmond Pie will be sponsoring MyGreatFest – The world’s first iDevice jailbreak convention, which is scheduled to be held in London, England on September 17th 2011.

The year 2010 has been amazing for both me personally and RedmondPie.com. I on behalf of Redmond Pie team would like to wish our readers all around the world a very Happy New Year.
