I received my iPad Air this past Monday, and as promised, here is a little review. I’ve had every generation of the iPad up to the 3rd Generation. When the 4th Generation came out, I could not justify the speed bump ad the only benefit. Nor could I justify the mini, since it was not […]

The iPad Air
Apple made a few announcements this week… And like many I had been hoping that the fingerprint reader would be added to the iPad … Like others, I was hoping that Apple would announce a Retina version of the iPad mini. So I guess I should be 50% happy. Realistically, I think the fingerprint reader […]
Apple’s 5s and 5c – worth the wait?
So yesterday Apple officially revealed their latest new phones – iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. While much of the announcement had long since been leaked by the supply chain (so much for the secrecy of Jobs, welcome to the openness of Cook), there were still a few surprises – really only on the iPhone5s. The […]
An Event in San Francisco
Yesterday Apple made the event official – at least according to the flurry of post about people receiving invites to an event: here, here, and here. If the rumors are to believed, this should be the launch of iOS7, iPhone5s, and iPhone5c, with a purchase date almost immediately thereafter. (According to Sept. 20th. In the […]

Great news, and hopefully Apple has addressed, not only the security flaws identified by the Turkish researcher, but any fundamental design […]
iOS7 Adoption amongst Developers
I recently posted a blog entry about upgrading your app, if you should support past versions of iOS or Android. So imagine my delight when I saw this post – Majority of Developers working on iOS7 Updates. A study shows that 52% of iOS developers plan on making their apps require iOS7 and drop support […]
Security and will Monday see another iOS Beta?
Prior to the security issues on Apple’s site over a week ago, Apple had been on a bi-weekly cadence for iOS and OS X beta releases. Last Monday, (July 22nd) the developer portal was down while Apple rebuilt the site to address the security issues no iOS beta was reported to be released. With less […]
More Progress on Apple Site
Great news, last night the 2nd major round of site updates were deployed by Apple. As you can see the site now lets you get to the developer sites for iOS, Mac, and Safari, along with certificates, and software downloads. Here’s hoping that we are not far from Apple getting back on track for beta […]
