Yesterday morning I picked up my new iPad Pro. Since the first version of the iPad, I’ve been hoping for a bigger version. Yesterday my wish finally came true. The iPad Pro is physically very similar to the smaller versions – same thickness, nice curvy design, just bigger. Immediately you can feel the speed as everything opened fast and navigations are swift with no lag. The size is really good. I can read my eBooks and most PDFs at “real” size, including magazines and manuals that…
The centerpiece of the iPhone 4S, Siri, is now the center of attention in a new class action lawsuit against Apple. The lawsuit, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, claims that Apple’s adervtising in relation to Siri’s capabilities is “misleading and deceptive” and does not perform the tasks as Apple shows in the ads. One Frank M. Fazio, an iPhone 4S users from Brooklyn, NY is feeling like Apple tricked him into buying the device and apparently…

Evi is an app for the iPhone which it’s developers, True Knowledge, as well as several high profile Apple and Mac related websites were claiming was a good replacement for Siri. However, the reality is much cloudier than that. After 516 ratings, the average is 1.5 stars with most people complaining that the app can7t even connect to the Evi servers to perform the required tasks. Apple also had issues that were very similar when they first released Siri, however,…

Swat teams were called in to control the crowd and the sale of the iPhone there halted. In most other cities, tickets were given…

The iOS 5 Update for the iPhone and iPad has finally been released and the only thing we could say here was WOW! It is massive and the difference between iOS 4 and 5 is like comparing Apples and oranges. The update ran and re-booted nicely and we were back and running with our 3gS as we await the 4S. Included in the update is the following items: • Notifications ◦ Swipe from the top of any screen to view…
Notes making the rounds in the blogs today are making light of the fact that Siri, the new iPhone 4S personal assistant’s name is similar sounding to the Japanese word Shiri. Shiri, or Oshiri in Japanese is rear or bottom and certainly not a word I would believe Apple would want associated with their latest product. A similar incident happened when the iPad was introduced in Japan. AiPad is an adult diaper brand in Japan and this fact apparently escaped…
