Apple’s iWork suite of productivity apps have been updated to work on the iPhone and iPod touch, according to a press release from Apple. Keynote, Pages and Numbers are now universal apps that run on iPad and iPad 2, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, and iPod touch (3rd & 4th generation), according to Apple. The (…)

Apple made the unusual move of spelling out the topics for its WWDC Keynote next week: Apple CEO Steve Jobs and a team of Apple executives will kick off the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address on Monday, June 6 at 10:00 a.m. At the keynote, Apple will unveil its next (…)

There’s a new variant of the Mac Defender Trojan Horse making the rounds. This one, called “Mac Guard,” is scarier in that it does not require a password to install, since it affects the user account, not the entire computer. Scarier, but still fairly benign since at worst, the installer can only open automatically — (…)

More on Dell’s new laptop from The Guardian: Noted in passing: advert for the Dell XPS-15, containing the phrase Finally, the power you crave in the thinnest 15″ PC on the planet*. Wow, the thinnest? But wait, what’s the asterisk? Small print time: “Based on Dell internal analysis as at February 2011. Based on a (…)

The phenomenon of other brands’ products “coincidentally” beginning to look like Apple products is nothing new, (think about cellphones before and after the iPhone or tablets after the iPad, for instance) so it’s not surprising to see that Dell’s new XPS 15z laptop bears a striking resemblance to the MacBook Pro. They’ve even copied Apple’s (…)

With today marking the 10th anniversary of Apple’s first brick-and-mortar store, I thought it would be interesting to take a look back at how we covered the company’s first location in the Garden State, which opened in Tice’s Corner in 2001. Back then, of course, there were only five retail outlets, and the company had (…)

I’m finding it hard to get riled up about the latest brouhaha regarding the discovery of a file on iPhones that contains time-stamped location information about places your phone (and presumably you) have been. First, there’s no evidence so far that this information is being sent anywhere. Second, if you use foursquare, Facebook Places, Gowalla (…)

The next-generation iPhone will sport the same design as its predecessor, but will have a faster processor, according to a Reuters article. Nothing earth-shattering in that, but the story’s sources say the iPhone 5 will come in September, not July, which has become the traditional month for new iPhones. Makes sense. Apple has already said (…)

This is priceless: RIM’s new PlayBook has no email client. No, that’s not the priceless part. (Well it is, but it’s not the most recent priceless part.) RIM’s “solution” to this is BlackBerry Bridge, an app that lets you tether your PlayBook to your BlackBerry, using it’s email capabilities. Here’s the priceless part: apparently no (…)

Catch the video here. The whole situation with RIM swings between laughable and pathetic. Multiple CEOs and COOs — no wonder the company doesn’t seem to have a cohesive strategy anymore. The fact that RIM’s Board of Directors hasn’t tossed Mike Lazaridis out on his ear yet is baffling. I can’t wait until Jim Dalrymple (…)
