I don't know about you, but personally I'm pretty clumsy, so it happens once-twice a week to step over my charging cables and almost order a new laptop. That's because I'm not using a Mac, which as you know, comes with a MagSafe connector that detaches easily in case somebody trips over it, without dragging the laptop with it on the floor.Anyway, it seems Apple is planning on bringing the MagSafe connector to the iPad in the near future (probably not the iPad 3), thus replacing the 30 pin do...

The Apple iPad 2 tablet is undoubtedly the best selling tablet of 2011 and most wished for. That's why Apple sees no reason to lower the $499 starting price of the base 16 GB WiFi model.But that doesn't mean there aren't official discounts by Apple from time to time (think of this year's Black Friday). Plus you can always get a refurbished iPad/iPod/Mac, as deals on these products are happening all time in the Apple Mac Store.As of today the base 16 GB iPad 2 can be yours in refurbished ...

I don't know about you but personally I don't have high hopes from Apple when it comes to getting a discount. Probably the best example is Black Friday, a day when usually you can get amazing deals for electronics, with prices being sliced in two or even three, but not from Apple.A recent leaked flyer (verified today by the Apple Australian store) confirms Black Friday 2011 is no difference, so don't expect the prices of brand new Apple products to go down that much, but they're worth your ...

Apple is on a streak, registering patent after patent, with the latest pointing towards Augmented Reality applications for next gen iPads and probably iPhones and iPods. There are actually two patents claimed by Apple, one featuring a conventional display with a special way of displaying info while the second one is more hi-tech featuring a display with customizable transparent windows.Let's take the first one, which involved splitting the display area in two, one used for a live feed of the...

I don't know if you remember anymore, but when Apple released the first generation iPad at the official event Steve Jobs said they've fixed the tablet as we know it (he referred to the Tablet PC concept), as there's no stylus in sight. Steve even said "It’s like we said on the iPad, if you see a stylus, they blew it", which means Apple won't ever build a tablet that needs a stylus, right?Apparently Apple changed its mind, as two patents reveal interesting technologies that could be associa...

I've been complaining by the fact RIM launched the Blackberry Playbook tablet before the software was finished as that poses a big problem with early adopters that find themselves waiting for the company to fix and improve on the otherwise excellent operating system.Apparently RIM is listening to its customers and launched update after update (over the air) so that the Playbook you buy today is seriously improved over the one handed to the press a few weeks ago. This means in a few months fr...

Adobe is one of the companies not really found of the iPad, since Apple decided to exclude Flash support from its tablets and advocating a world that has to get past Flash to HTML 5. That doesn't mean Adobe is not trying to get into the iPad world with various apps related to its Creative Suite (the one with Photoshop).Today Adobe announced it will launch three iPad apps, at the beginning of May, that will interact with the Adobe Photoshop software installed on your computer, making your iPa...

Apple is always late when it comes to adoption of new technologies, unless they invent them. Not even today Apple products offer USB 3.0, Blu Ray, Wireless Display, or other top notch technologies that are becoming standard on competitor's devices. Take for example the tablets, which Steve Jobs said a few weeks ago when Apple launched the new MacBook Air, that making the user lift its hands in the air to touch the screen of a laptop is madness, and it's not the way to do it.Apparently Apple ...

You can call Apple any way you like, but they do know how to build products, and their latest quarter financial results shows that they're good, smashing record after record and managing the company's first quarter with sales over 20 billion dollars. Wow, that's a lot, and the profit is also a record breaking 4.31 billion dollars. To all those great numbers contributes the iPad, who sold better than Macs, 4.19 vs 3.89 million units. iPhones also did very well, at 14.1 million units, while the iP...

Sometimes rumors are just so persistent that you can't ignore them. One of those rumors is the one about the touchscreen iMac, coming from Apple, one bit of news we've treated a few times here at AllTouchTablet.com (here and here). It seems now that Apple is already sampling the displays from Sintek Photonics. Given the care Apple has for its displays, we believe the info that those screens use a 178 degrees viewing angles IPS screens with a special type of touch sensors, integrated into the gla...
