  • Apple to debut a 60-inch, iRing controlled TV later this year

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted April 4, 2013 at 10:31AM
    Interesting idea - a ring as the remote. Can't wait to lose that remote though. Guessing that the opening price of $1500 makes this product have a great price point and the add on tablets (that may interact with the on screen content) could make viewing very different. Check it out here.
  • Apple running behind on iOS 7

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted April 3, 2013 at 10:16AM
    Some interesting stuff in this short article but the most significant is that iOS 7 is running behind schedule. Apple tends to release a new OS with new phones and then make it available as an upgrade a couple of weeks later for older hardware users. This all affects the next iPhone release...

    EnerPlex Surfr Solar Phone Chargers

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted March 3, 2013 at 10:38AM
    This last CES was a boon for us with great products to work with. Today we are going to look at one product that may be the most useful product of the entire show. EnerPlex was kind enough to send both an iPhone 4s and Samsung Galaxy S III Surfr for review. What's a Surfr? How about an external...

    LifeProof iPhone cases

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted February 17, 2013 at 05:34PM
    LifeProof recently sent in two of their iPhone cases for evaluation. One for iPhone 4S and one for iPhone 5. Previously with my iPhone I've been using an Otter Box case. I liked that it had a rigid case that was surrounded by a soft rubber case. Sadly, after about of a year of use my Otter Box...
  • The Apple iWatch Rumors Just Became Apple iWatch Reports

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted February 11, 2013 at 10:14AM
    The idea of trying to watch Facebook videos or read e-mail on a watch just doesn't appeal to me. I stopped wearing a watch a few years ago just because quite literally there's a clock around me at all times - my phone, computers at work, on the walls, etc. Now I'm supposed to be web connected...

  • 5 new Apple products for 2013

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted January 10, 2013 at 10:55AM
    Most of this isn't new information but seems like the release dates have firmed up for a lot of products. I think the June release for the iPhone 5s is more realistic as the phone releases are usually closely tied to OS updates for older phones. Check out the article here.
  • Happy New Year! No real surprises in this article but this is the first report I've seen with a tentative release date. Samsung hit a home run with the Galaxy phones so it stands to reason a larger screen is in the iPhone's future. What is odd is the idea that there may be different screen sizes...

  • Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4 might not launch until 2014

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted December 12, 2012 at 12:03PM
    This is bad news to gamers everywhere if it is correct. Great news for Nintendo though. Read the article here.
  • Put this one in the incredibly long title category. The timing of this possible iPhone is about right as it stays with past trends. Super HD display? I thought the Retina Display was Super HD? To me the better battery mentioned would make this a worthy purchase. Read the article and let us know...
  • An answer to the U.S. Apple manufacturing conundrum?

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted December 6, 2012 at 10:24AM
    Recently we posted a news story that showed some Mac products are stamped 'Assembled in U.S.A.' Looks like these units may have been early production units from an undisclosed U.S. assembly facility. Read the article here. Great news for domestic labor as well as Apple. Not a lot of good news...
  • Is there some secret iMac assembly plant in the US?

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted December 3, 2012 at 11:47AM
    From iFixit’s ritual iMac dismemberment yesterday, we learn that the particular 21.5-inch iMac they bought says it was "Assembled in USA”. The moniker isn’t new—we’ve seen it since at least a few iMac models back on the packaging. But as far as we can tell, "Assembled in USA”...

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted November 22, 2012 at 09:14PM
    I guess I'm not the only person who was having iTunes 10 crashing all the time. Good news, if its true, is that a major upgrade is around the corner. Check it out here

  • The iPhone 5′s launch was so massive that it boosted the air cargo industry

    By Victor Oshiro | Posted October 10, 2012 at 06:43PM
    Overall, expectations are cautiously optimistic, with mostly activity flat or expanding modestly. However, the idea that the iPhone 5 launch (and that’s really what we’re talking about here, although other tech toys contributed) could boost air shippers like FedEx and UPS is fairly notable:...
