Apple has announced the iPhone 5 today at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. It’s been one of the most boring smartphone announcement events this writer has ever followed live, as most of the things Apple has discussed so far were leaked into the blogosphere weeks and months before the company’s representatives went onstage.

It’s been a somewhat exciting keynote so far, as Apple has announced a good bunch of new products: the bigger, faster, but slimmer iPhone 5 with its support for 4G LTE, the lighting fast new dock connector, slick new version of iTunes, and the new iPod touch and nano with their welcome refreshes. Another product which was announced are the new earphones. Check them out after the jump.
In about 17 hours from the time I type this, Apple will open the doors at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California where they will be announcing the next iPhone. We have seen plenty of rumors and reports and leaks over the past few weeks and months which give a definite shape to the illusive device’s hardware, but there’s one thing in the air that is still heavily discussed and, so far, inconclusive: the next iPhone’s name.
Those of you who are familiar with jailbreaking, rooting or unlocking their smartphone will know that the tools that apply these modifications use an exploit - either in your device’s software or hardware - to get system-level access and allow other applications to do the same.
iOS or OS X, Apple’s operating systems have always come with a lovely set of wallpapers that really enhance your desktop, but did you know that OS X Mountain Lion - in addition to the wallpapers available under the Change Desktop Background option - comes with over three dozen wallpapers that are hidden*? If you’re the type who changes their wallpapers regularly, you should definitely check them out. Find out how after the jump!
Every time we think that the market for take-a-photo-apply-a-filter-share-it type apps is saturated and there is nothing more that can be done now that hasn’t already been done in one way or the other, an app like Etchings comes along that offers a bunch of never-before-seen filters that make us go wow. Check it out after the jump!
Google and ASUS had to cut a few corners to sell their Nexus 7 at $199. The tablet has no rear camera, support for cellular data, or expansion via microSD card slot, and comes with an SD front facing camera. Despite all these things, the tablet is still being sold at a loss to gain traction.
Preceded by leaks, rumors, and reports, Apple’s upcoming event is the most anticipated mobile technology-related media event of the year. It’s where the company is expected to announce multiple new products, both hardware and software-based. In this post, we’ll be running down the list of announcements we expect Apple to make during the event. Check them out after the jump.

The event is set to kick off at 10:00 AM in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts which, according to the photos we’ve across online, is being prepared for the mega unveiling. Check them out after the jump.
After the great success* of the original Kindle Fire, Amazon has not only announced an upgraded version, but also two separate HD tablets with specifications and prices that blow every other Android tablet (and, to a certain extent, the new iPad) out of the water! Check them out after the jump!
