First Look At Home-Sharing In iOS 4.3

First Look At Home-Sharing In iOS 4.3

We already knew what Apple had planned to add to iOS 4.3, thanks to the many developer previews they released. One feature we didn't know about, that was unveiled on Wednesday, was Home Sharing. It's a feature that allows users to access their iTunes library from their iDevices over Wi-Fi.

Tech Specs: iPad 2, Xoom, Touchpad & Playbook Compared

Tech Specs: iPad 2, Xoom, Touchpad & Playbook Compared

Steve Jobs was very clear, on Wednesday, that trying to compare the iPad to anything else, especially using only spec sheets, doesn't make much sense. He's got a point, as there is so much more to the iPad 2 than the raw specifications. Yet, now that Engadget committed the terrible affront of comparing iPad 2 specs to other tablets, we can't help but make the comparison.

AT&T To Restrict iPhone 4 Hotspot Feature

We were all thrilled when AT&T announced that they will allow iPhone 4 users to take advantage of the upcoming iOS 4.3 Wi-Fi tethering feature (for $20/month).

Steve Jobs Responds To Subscription Debacle - SaaS Off The Hook?

The debacle surrounding Apple's newly introduced subscription feature, and its revenue sharing plan is reaching an all time high this week. Yesterday, we learned Apple rejected Readability, and the interwebs are now speculating that the survival of all SaaS apps (Software as a Service, think Dropbox or Basecamp) might be at stake.

Verizon iPhone Mostly Selling To Existing iOS Users?

Verizon iPhone Mostly Selling To Existing iOS Users?

We're still very much in the dark as to how well the recently released CDMA iPhone is selling on Verizon. We know it sold out on the first day, and that it beat Verizon's sales record in just two hours on pre-order launch day (between 3 and 5am EST). We also heard that it might be slightly underperforming. Apple has yet to release a statement on actual sales, and most importantly, we don't know who is buying the device.
