 Rounding out the honeymoon period with that freshly jailbroken iPad 2 ? Well now we have some new apps for you to play with, and you may already be acquainted. iOS hacker Ryan Petrich’s most recent project, dubbed Belfry, lets you install stock iPhone apps that are otherwise absent from both versions of Apple’s tablet including Clock, Voice Memos, Stocks, Calculator, Compass and Weather . . . → Read More: Belfry brings Stocks and Weather, other native iPhone apps to jailbroken iPads  We touched on the numbers in our report on Apple’s Q1 earnings, but the company’s throwing out a lot of “record” figures so we thought we’d take a moment to focus on just how its hardware sales stack up. The standout number is, of course, the 37.04 million iPhones sold during the quarter, which is up 128 percent from the same quarter a year ago (and up from 17 million in the previous quarter, a jump of 117 percent). That notably puts Apple back ahead of Samsung, which sold a total of 35 million smartphones in its most recent quarter . . . → Read More: Apple’s Q1 hardware sales: 37 million iPhones, 15.43 million iPads, 5.2 million Macs, 15.4 million iPods  It’s that time folks: time for the quarterly running of the spreadsheets. Today Apple, one the most anticipated of all, is revealing its earnings for the past three months and let’s just say things are lookin’ pretty good for the Cupertino crew. The company set a new record for quarterly revenue and profit in Q1 of 2012, netting $46.33 billion in total with $13.06 billion earnings — the latter number representing about half of the company’s annual profit . . . → Read More: Apple announces Q1 earnings, sets quarterly record with $46.33 billion in revenue  802.11ac, sometimes referred to as 5G or gigabit Wi-Fi, hasn’t been finalized and Apple seldom if ever speaks ahead of time about the incorporation of new technology into the iPhone, iPad, or Mac lines, but they were aggressive in adopting 802.11n while it was in the draft stages and 802.11ac appears to have even more to recommend it. The new 802.11ac standard achieves much faster wireless networking speeds than the existing 802.11n specification (in use on the latest Mac, AirPort and iOS devices) by using 2 to 4 times the frequency bandwidth (from 80 to 160MHz), more efficient data transfers through sophisticated modulation, and more antennas (up to 8; existing standards support up to 4, while Apple’s Macs currently use up to 3) . . . → Read More: Could we see 802.11ac 5G gigabit Wi-Fi in iPhone and iPad in 2012?  According to The New York Times , not the cost of labor, not the cost of components, but rather the speed and flexibility with which Chinese factories can respond to iPhone and iPad manufacturing demands is reportedly the reason Apple prefers them over their U.S. counterparts. One former executive described how the company relied upon a Chinese factory to revamp iPhone manufacturing just weeks before the device was due on shelves . . . → Read More: Apple reportedly believes Chinese factories faster, more flexible than U.S. counterparts  I generally don’t accessorize my iPhone or iPad too much – I usually find one option that works, and stick with it for the long haul (or at least until I upgrade the device). What I get usually focuses on the essentials – protections, storage, charging, etc. So here is the list of accessories from 2011. . . . → Read More: Chris Vitek’s most used iPhone and iPad accessories of 2011  Vodio is a new iPad app that’s somewhat along the same lines as iOS app Shelby.tv . . . . → Read More: Vodio Brings Personalized Video Recommendations To The iPad  FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski renewed his pleas for more broadband spectrum yesterday, and he chose a rather peculiar platform upon which to do it. In an address here at CES yesterday, Genachowski called upon Congress to hurry up and open auctions for spectrum, and to allow his commission to reserve some space for itself. “It would be a very serious mistake to pass incentive legislation and prohibit the FCC from using some spectrum for unlicensed (uses),” Genachowski explained, adding that these unlicensed appropriations would help spur innovation . . . → Read More: FCC chairman implores Congress to speed up spectrum auctions, does it with a Galaxy Tab 8.9  XtremeMac has just unveiled a troika of new iDevice-friendly chargers: the 3 in 1 USB Mobile Cable, InCharge Boost and InCharge Micro Boost. Announced at CES today, the 3 in 1 cable, as its name suggests, packs three different connectors on a single cable, offering USB to microUSB, mini USB and 30pin connectivity to owners of Apple-branded devices and “most” tablets, smartphones or cameras. . . . → Read More: XtremeMac rolls out three new mobile chargers for iDevice devotees |
