File transfer was hilariously unfinished, despite theroretically existing. The magic of Apple did not seem to extend to this backwater of wireless connectivity, and I shelved it in my […]

September 29, 2016 by Alex Thomas 2 Comments

The iPhone 7 finally did it, they got rid of the headphone jack and now we’re all searching for affordable wireless headphones.

Apple has said that the device will come with an “all day battery,” which translates to being able to run for approximately 18 hours with typical use. But what we haven’t heard is how the new smartwatch will impact the […]

Apple iBeacon: Cool or Creepy?

December 11, 2013 by Brian Meyer 2 Comments

This past Friday Apple enabled location-aware transmitters in all of their U.S. retail stores. Called iBeacon, this service works via Bluetooth and the Apple Store App for the iPhone to get location-based information when arriving at one of their stores. The iBeacon system is far more precise than GPS-based methods for finding exactly where someone […]

Review: Bluetooth Keyboard Case for iPad

May 19, 2013 by Robin Parrish 2 Comments

An iPad keyboard case shaped like a MacBook “clamshell” might just be the holy grail of iPad accessories. A Kickstarter campaign last year famously made this idea a reality. Since then, MacBook clamshell cases have popped up in the catalogs of several accessory makers.

Jorno Bluetooth Keyboard Up for Preorder

September 22, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

One of the nice things about the iPad – and now the iPhone with iOS 4 – is the ability to use a Bluetooth keyboard. Fortunately enough, Apple has a handy-dandy one that isn’t too big, but it’s still large enough that it’s not always convenient to haul around with you wherever you go, particularly […]

Do We All Really Want Touchscreens on Everything?

September 14, 2010 by Kevin Whipps 1 Comment

[Image via Engadget] When the iPhone first came out, people were shocked by the on-screen keyboard. “It won’t work,” they said. “It won’t be accurate,” they said. Here we are 3 years later, and not only does it work, it’s spawned a series of touchscreen keyboards seen in all sorts of Apple products, and now […]

Apple Introduces Magic Trackpad

July 27, 2010 by Kevin Whipps 3 Comments

Last week, we pontificated about this hypothetical product from Apple that just received FCC approval. As it turns out, the theories were correct, and now we have a new input device for Mac users. It’s called the Magic Trackpad, and it is, essentially, the same trackpad from a MacBook Pro, just made portable. It’s the […]
