| Take your iPhone swimming this summer with the Scuba Suit Posted: 19 Jun 2012 04:21 PM PDT
Summer’s almost here, meaning you might want to start preparing your iPhone for the water. Pool parties, river-floating and water parks are all possibilities during the popular season. This means that if you don’t have a waterproof case, you might want to get one. And if you aren’t sure what to look for, you might want to start with the new Scuba Suit from Photojojo…(...)

| Google Offers app now available for iPhone Posted: 19 Jun 2012 01:21 PM PDT
After failing to acquire Groupon last year, Google decided to launch its own deal-of-the-day website called Google Offers. The site pitches location-based deals on goods and services. Today, Google has announced that it is taking the service mobile. A Google Offers app is now available for the iPhone, allowing users to discover, buy and redeem deals while on the go…(...)

| Carriers remain surprisingly mum on FaceTime over cellular in iOS 6 Posted: 19 Jun 2012 12:15 PM PDT
When Apple announced its own video calling platform called FaceTime at the summer 2010 introduction of the iPhone 4, Steve Jobs confidently promised video calling over cellular networks by the end of the following year. That didn’t pan out as planned, prompting critics to question Apple’s intentions and its promise to open up FaceTime to other VoIP vendors. Then, suddenly, FaceTime over 3G becomes a reality at the WWDC keynote earlier this month. The feature got only brief mention on one slide (it’s enabled via the Cellular Data Switch toggle in FaceTime preferences of the Settings app). A new report out today now asserts that Apple may not have cut the necessary deals with its partners as some carriers remain surprisingly mum on the matter, as if awaiting Apple’s next move…(...)

| Case-makers starting to buy into recent iPhone “leaks” Posted: 19 Jun 2012 11:09 AM PDT
Despite Tim Cook’s vow to “double down on secrecy,” we’ve seen a surprising amount of information regarding the next-generation iPhone in the past few weeks. We know its screen size, resolution, and even have a good idea of what it looks like. Or do we? Perhaps the amount of data floating around is actually a sign that we don’t know anything. Maybe everything we’ve seen to this point has been fake, or a misdirection. If so, this case manufacturer is about to throw away a ton of money…(...)

| What fragmentation? Apparently iOS 6 SDK allows for intelligently-scaling apps Posted: 19 Jun 2012 10:20 AM PDT
One of the major staples of Android development’s always been the operating system’s ability to automatically scale apps up and down in order to accommodate whichever form factor they’re being used on. Apple’s approach to form factor fragmentation has traditionally been the opposite one. As in, Apple requires app developers to target each screen size with a pixel-perfect user interface. Though iPads can pixel-double tiny iPhone apps, Apple wouldn’t degrade user experience by letting iOS stretch apps’ hard-coded interfaces. It would appear that iOS 6 introduces a diametrically opposite approach, one letting developers construct interfaces that can intelligently adapt to different screen resolutions without looking plain fugly. This is not just convenience, but a necessity given that rumored taller iPhone and an iPad mini, both allegedly due around September or October of this year…(...) "What fragmentation?

| Google’s iPad-killer launches next Wednesday? Posted: 19 Jun 2012 09:24 AM PDT
Piggy-backing on Google chairman Eric Schmidt’s last December revelation that his company was working on own tablet, an Asian trade publication claims an Asus-engineered device marketed under the Nexus moniker launches at the Google I/O developers conference, which runs from June 27 through 29 in San Francisco’s Moscone West. It’s gonna cost just $199 and feature a seven-inch display, the word on the street has it. The publication also offers tidbits regarding launch plans for Google’s first branded tablet…(...)

| Google accelerating plans to launch Siri competitor code-named Majel Posted: 19 Jun 2012 08:20 AM PDT
We’ve known for awhile that Google’s been working on improving Voice Actions in Android. Needless to say, last October’s release of the iPhone 4S and its headline voice assistant feature dubbed Siri sent Google’s engineers back to the drawing board in an attempt to re-envision what conversing with an Android device should be like. According to the well-informed Wall Street Journal, the search giant has now “accelerated” plans to bring Siri competitor to the market.

| Upcoming tweak brings another Mountain Lion inspired Notification Center to iOS Posted: 19 Jun 2012 08:00 AM PDT
Mountain Center is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that brings an OS X Mountain Lion like Notification Center to iOS. Now if this all seems a bit familiar to you, that’s probably because you’ve seen or read about MountainLionCenter, which performs a similar action. Oddly enough, it seems that both tweaks were being developed around the same time, completely independent of one another, hence the overlapping of functionality. But there is good news, because the tweaks differ enough to warrant giving them both a separate look. Mountain Center adds a few options that you won’t find in MountainLionCenter, like the ability to invoke Notification Center from either side of the screen, and more. Take a look at our full video walkthrough inside…(...) "Upcoming tweak brings another Mountain Lion inspired Notification Center to iOS" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer yesterday took the stage to unveil his company’s iPad challenger named Surface at a Los Angeles presser.
