A recent report from a Japanese blog by the name of Macotakara states that according to their sources, Apple is toying with the idea of adding glass free 3D technology to the next generation of it’s iPod Touch. The iPod Touch would be a direct pocket-gaming competitor to Nintendo’s upcoming 3DS portable gaming console. This report comes after a multitude of 3D related patents that Apple has granted over the past few years. MacStories, discussing the report, wrote that Apple would be integrating the 3D technology “without any external peripheral or accessory.”
It seems that the 3D screens would be supplied by Sharp, who is currently in the process of developing small, glasses-free LCD screens that [...]

Apple has once again started revitalizing its efforts to stop the process of jailbreaking and unlocking iPhones but doesn’t look to be gaining any ground on the subject. Nadair Jackson, the college student from the video below, is among the many people who are now flooding Craigslist and Ebay with offers of either selling an unlocked/jailbroken iPhone or charging a fee to perform the process of unlocking/jailbreaking the phone. Check out the video to hear Nadair describe how it works?:
NBC reports that Apple is trying to recruit the Federal Government to help crackdown on the hackers performing the jailbreaking of the iOS. They’re attempting to gain help again even after a [...]

“HiJack” is a work in progress project from a development team at the University of Michigan whose goal is to make basic data peripherals for iDevices at very low costs. The audio jack on the devices are used to both power the peripheral and transmit data. This process of utilizing a 2 in 1 method for attaching the accessory allows for development of creative and useful attachments for the iDevices. Most of the time, the biggest cost in production of an iOS data sensor is from the right to use the “Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod” logo and the 30-pin connector. What project “HiJack” is doing is allowing development of hardware and software that don’t require the label and [...]

A very exciting discovery has been found inside the iOS 4.3 beta regarding the future performance we’ll see from our iDevices. Even though it isn’t used currently, the PowerVR SGX543 which is the smallest OpenCL-capable graphics core, has been included in the beta which points to the potential that Apple is looking to incorporate it into at least one of its future devices. If the iPad or iPhone were to use the power of this co-processor, we could expect to see performance that is comparable to laptop computers.
Imagination Technology’s PowerVR SGX535 is what Apple currently uses as a graphics co-processor in the A4 chip. iPhone 3GS, Motorola’s Droid, Samsung’s Galaxy S and Galaxy [...]

Most of us are used to playing the waiting game, and now is no different as we sit patiently waiting for a stable version of an untethered jailbreak for our Apple devices; iPhones, iPods and iPads that are on firmware 4.2.1. But for everyone who is planning on switching to Verizon there might not be that long of wait as the news that the iPhone Dev Team is already working on jailbreaking the CDMA iPhone. The team is currently working on a jailbreak for firmware 4.2.5 (as first seen on Verizons iPhone 4) and the beta 4.3 which Apple released just last Wednesday. MuscleNerd has announced via his twitter that nothing will be released until [...]

The flood of rumors surrounding Apple and it’s upcoming products continues to grow, and some of these reports are gaining some validity. First off, there’s the mysterious iPad 2 dummy model that was seen at CES 2011. The model was non working, not confirmed by anyone as being potentially in development: but the rumors of a “super high resolution” screen similar to the iPhone 4′s Retina Display aren’t really out of the question. There’s also talk of a SD card slot, and this is one that we’re not seeing as having any truth behind it unless Apple is looking to market the iPad like the easy-open G3 towers, openable and customizable. Reports stating the screen size [...]

With the news of the iPhone 4 finally coming to Verizon, most people are still deciding whether they’re going to make a carrier switch, and now talk has already turned to the iPhone 5. The fifth-gen smartphone from Apple has expectations of being released midway through this year. Qualcomm has been chosen by Apple for their baseband chips, while Kinsus will be supplying not only the high-pass substrate but a new A8 application processor says Apple Daily.
As of now, its difficult to tell exactly what this processor will mean. Even though ARM is responsible for the Cortext A8 platform of cores, it could very well be an internal Apple name on the dual-core [...]

Microsoft has been doing rather well in sales of its Xbox 360 console, so strong that supply is running low. Director of Programming Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) has come out and said that demand is high that Microsoft has literally “run out” of the consoles. With stock also being extremely tight in January and February, Major Nelson was quick to point out “that if they didn’t get first place in console sales from the NPD group with their results today, it would be due to strong sales, and not the opposite”.
According to what NPD is reporting, Microsoft Xbox 360 was the only console to see year-over-year growth through December at 42%. This [...]

A company by the name of eBook Technologies has recently become part of the internet monster known as Google. ebook Technologies is aimed towards supplying “intelligent” reading devices and licenses technologies that enable publishing to be completely automated as well as control over content distribution. Its a small company but there’s enough potential there to attract the attention and dollars of Google. The news of the acquisition comes close to the news of Google’s eBookstore officially opening for business. TechCrunch has pointed out a cached Products page on the ebook Technologies homepage that gives an odd amount of insight as to what Google might have planned.
Models of physical devices that could be described [...]
