128GB iPad Release Contains a Message

Today Apple did something somewhat out of the norm for the company, despite being rumoured ahead of time Apple released a new model of the iPad today. But it didn’t change anything apart from the storage capacity, offering a whopping 128GB of storage for a meaty $799 (£639) for the WiFi model or $929 (£739) for the WiFi and Cellular model. This new iPad will be available to buy on February 5th.

Apple Announces Record Breaking Quarterly Revenue of $54.5bn

Sixty? Yes, Sixty.

You may recall that almost exactly one year ago I wrote a piece entitled The Forty Billion Dollar Quarter in which I riled in excitement about Apple’s upcoming announcement of what it had achieved in the previous fiscal quarter. I predicted dropped jaws across Wall Street and I wasn’t wrong. Apple eventually announced quarterly revenue for the first quarter of 2012 of just over $46 billion buoyed primarily by superb sales of the iPhone and iPad.

Low Volume Player

A few weeks back Microsoft CEO and chief ass Steve Ballmer was asked in an interview with the Wall Street Journal if he’d like Microsoft to evolve to Apple’s business model, that is to say would Microsoft enjoy being in control of both software and hardware. In response Ballmer said that “In every category Apple competes, it’s the low-volume player, except in tablets,” adding that “In the PC market, obviously the advantage of diversity has mattered since 90-something percent of PCs that get sold are Windows PCs. We’ll see what winds up mattering in tablets.”

Expectations at WWDC 2012

WWDC 2012 is approaching quickly and unlike last year it looks like Apple might put on more than a software only show. Equally exciting for 2012 is that in the six months that have passed Apple has released and updated relatively few products. Particularly notable for the six months that have made up 2012 so far is that not a single model of Mac has been refreshed. We know that Apple has a particular dislike for releasing new hardware in August and after late October which leaves only a few months for a whole bunch of products to be crammed into.

Review: BBC iPlayer for iPad

On Thursday the BBC unveiled its brand new iPlayer iPad app and thankfully what a masterpiece it is. The app which is only available on the UK App Store for free will only work within the UK and Ireland due to restrictions of viewing, after all us British do pay for the luxury of the BBC and its programming.

iPhone App Review: Sudoku 2 Pro

During my research I found that there are a wide variety of Sudoku apps out there for the iPhone and I know that really you only need one Sudoku app as there isn’t enough variance in the puzzle itself to require multiple versions. For that reason I felt it would be helpful to write a review on a Sudoku app that would save people the time and effort of buying several different apps only to be disappointed.

iPhone App Review: Hipstamatic

When I saw this application in the app store I thought I had to give it a try. I did wonder whether the application would put style before functionality, which I have seen in applications before but this is not the case with Hipstamatic. I like to take snapshots on holidays and vacations but never really anything more. For that reason I feel that this app works for me.
