| Making the case for going case-less Posted: 23 Nov 2012 02:33 PM PST
I decided to go completely case-less. Most of you guys probably think I already do that, since I never have a case on my devices when I’m filming a new video. But that, as it turns out, hasn’t been so. I used to only keep my iPhone nude for aesthetic purposes on film. As soon as I hit the shutter release on my camera to stop filming, back in the case she went. Then I read something that changed my perspective on things. After seeing this post by John Gruber, I started thinking. Why are we so obsessed with encapsulating our devices in protective covering? Aren’t we ridding ourselves of the pleasure of using it as it was intended and designed to be used? I decided to embark on an experiment. One that could prove costly, but at the same time provide me with a since of liberation. I was going to go case-less…(...) "Making the case for going case-less" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Analyst: no Black Friday iPad mini discounts means huge demand exists Posted: 23 Nov 2012 11:16 AM PST
While Black Friday discounts abound at Apple and around the web, one product where deals are absent is Apple’s iPad mini. The reason: people want to buy the smaller iPad deal or no deal, one analyst opines. According to Wells Fargo’s Maynard Um, “early checks suggest demand continues to be robust with strong store traffic through the week and early Friday”. That ship times remain two weeks for both the Wi-Fi and Cellular models points to the iPad mini becoming a must-have holiday item (kids agree)…(...)

| Tales of a connected home: how iOS is changing modern living Posted: 23 Nov 2012 10:41 AM PST
I’m a huge proponent of using technology to make my life easier, especially around the home. Technology for the home has been around for quite some time in the form of home automation systems, lighting, and so forth. Unfortunately, such systems have been extremely pricey in the past, or overly confusing to setup and maintain. Enter the smartphone. Smartphones, and in particular the iPhone, have served as a great equalizer over the past few years. I can do things with my phone that I never would have dreamed of just a few years ago, and it gets better with each passing year. Inside, I’ll reflect on some of the cool things that I’ve been able to accomplish lately with my iPhone, along with videos and links to articles that cover the subjects more in-depth. Have a look…(...) "Tales of a connected home: how iOS is changing modern living" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Apple picks new battery supplier, drops Samsung Posted: 23 Nov 2012 08:12 AM PST
Apple has chosen two China-based battery companies to supply the iPad and MacBook, says a Friday report. Amperex Technology Limited and Tianjin Lishen Battery would replace Samsung SDI, a subsidiary of the South Korean firm that is both Apple’s chief rival and largest supplier. The report is just the latest indicating Samsung and Apple are reconsidering their close relationship. As the two smartphone giants attempt to out-compete each other in the courtroom and store shelves, Samsung’s role appears to be shifting from major supplier to important manufacturer…(...)

| Analyst calls for a cheap iPhone in two years Posted: 23 Nov 2012 07:31 AM PST
Piper Jaffray’s resident Apple analyst Gene Munster – you know, one of the iTV fame - is back at it predicting Apple’s gonna launch an inexpensive iPhone model in two years time. Recognizing Apple’s tiny market share in emerging markets like Russia, India, Brazil and China (collectively referred to as BRIC territories), he’s calling for an unsubsidized, sub-$200 iPhone around 2014. Currently, Apple’s handset is a high-end play, with older models selling at reduced price points. As carriers pay big bucks to subsidy its high cost, users typically must sign on a dotted line. But not everyone is willing to accept contractual commitment in exchange for an iPhone. Meanwhile, competitors are successfully exploiting Apple’s price weaknesses, churning out Android cheapos that have pushed the platform in places like China to as much as an astounding 90 percent smartphone share…(...)

Ok folks, Apple’s Black Friday sale has now officially begun here in the US. After being down for several hours, the company’s Stateside online store has returned with discounts on several popular products. As usual, the price cuts are modest.
