Everyone’s talking about the Apple Tablet, nick-named the Apple iSlate. So, here’s a quick prediction for all those tech pundits and bloggers expecting ‘game-changing’ hardware from Apple, in their big announcement this week.
Here’s why I think you “might” be disappointed…
So, the tech news blog has been on holiday for the past couple of weeks. In that time, quite a bit has happened. Clearly, the BIGGEST story in tech news during that time, was that I got to name the title of last week’s Windows Weekly podcast with Leo Laporte; “bing is my back end”. Yeah, I’m a fan of the show (thanks Leo.)
Here’s the news I missed…
Apple has forced Microsoft to change one of its ads, and remove a statement about the price of Mac laptops.
Here’s what happened!
Excellent iPhone sales have helped Apple to beat financial forecasts. Apple’s net profits hit $1.23billion in the third financial quarter (to 27th June) up from $1.07billion for the same period last year.
However, there’s one statistic that’s been almost overlooked by many, who have covered this story!
Just about every tech news provider has covered the ‘news’ that Steve Jobs may or may not have had a liver transplant earlier in the year and he may or may not have started back at work this week.
Understandably, many Mac users are asking when will they finally get the chance to use Google’s Chrome browser. So, what’s going on?
As reported here last Saturday, it’s looking very likely that there will be a version of the Apple iPhone available later this year, for $99 (after subsidies.) Well, it seems there are MORE claims being made about it today, this time from The Sillicon Alley Insider, which tells us:
Apple will start selling a cheaper, ‘entry-level’ [...]
According to a post on seekingalpha.com Apple are going to release three new iPhone models this year! The rumour seems to be gathering pace and has also been carried on The Register.
The rumour / prediction comes from Peter Misek, an analyst with Canaccord Adams; following recent checks he made with carrier partners. According to [...]
The Apple Macintosh computer is 25 years old tomorrow. Although I was using a Sinclair Spectrum computer at the time, I remember the first time I actually saw the original Apple Macintosh running and was amazed. The machine was just a few months old and it was the first time I had ever seen or [...]
Today, Apple announced the best quarterly revenue and earnings figures in their history!
Despite the credit crunch, the daily reports of doom and gloom (and lay-offs across the IT sector), Apple are growing like never before.
Apple record profits
Apple.com reported some amazing results pretty-much across the board, though iPhone sales where below many experts expectations. Here’s a [...]
Steve Jobs has issued another announcement regarding his health; his second in recent weeks. It seems the Apple CEO’s health problems are “more complex” than he originally thought.
Here’s the full post, from Apple.com:
I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over [...]
Why doesn’t the tech news industry make better use of technology?
These guys know better than most, that with some simple software and an Internet connection, you can now attend seminars / keynotes and also review software – without actually leaving your computer. This stuff’s been around for years!
However, it seems that although they all have [...]
So, Steve Jobs has announced that the claims that he is ‘on his death bed’ are all unfounded.
The Apple CEO is apparently suffering from a hormonal imbalance, which is why he’s dropped so much weight and looks so sick. This news comes after we were previously told by Apple, that his gaunt appearance was caused by [...]
I was on Twitter yesterday when Cali Lewis; star of Geekbrief.tv, decided to send a message to her 19,000 Twitter followers. Cali’s message was simply:
“Is this the new MacBook Pro?” – (with a link to a dodgy looking image)
This is how the ‘VIRAL PR’ Apple are so famous for always begins!
Why is Apple’s [...]
Everything announced by Apple today was so heavily leaked, there’s no need to blog about it!
