Apple iPad Mini Event

 Apple announced Tuesday that it has scheduled an event for Oct. 23, at which it is widely expected to introduce a smaller version of the iPad, dubbed the "iPad mini." The "iPad mini" is believed to be a seven-or-so-inch tablet with a sub-$300 price tag. The current iPad lineup starts at $399 for the year-old iPad 2 and $499 for the third-generation iPad, both of which have a near-10-inch screen. The "iPad mini is rumored to have a 7.85 inch retina display with an internal storage of 8GB or 16GB. Keep following us for more details as they come in.

New iPod Touch Unveiled, however, is this something you should buy?

Apple just announced a brand new fifth generation iPod touch. It’s the thinnest iPod touch ever, just 6.1mm thin, and it weighs just 88 grams. It has the exact same 4-inch Retina display as the new iPhone 5, too, which offers a ton of enhancements over the Retina screen on the iPhone 4S (and, obviously, the 4th generation iPod touch).  Incredibly, the new iPod touch will offer 40 hours of music playback and 8 hours of video. The device also sports a 5-megapixel camera with backside illumination and a  f/2.4 aperture, the same sapphire crystal lens on the iPhone 5 and an LED flash. Just like the iPhone 5, the new iPod touch camera supports a new panorama shooting mode. A FaceTime HD camera with face detection is also included. There’s also a hidden feature that allows you to attach a strap to the iPod touch, it’s called a “loop,” which means you won’t worry about having to drop it while you’re taking photos. For the first time ever, Siri is also supported on the new iPod touch. 

This awesome device also runs on an dual-core A5 processor.... but....get this: the iPod touch will launch in October; the 32GB model will cost $299 while the 64GB option will cost $399. Yes, I know, pretty expensive. Nexus 7 is 100 dollar cheaper than this and has a 7 inch display. Apple is also ripping people off with a 16 GB 4th gen iPod touch for $199. (I'm pretty pissed cause thats what it cost for the 8 GB model). I completely DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DEVICE. DO NOT BUY!!!!

iPad Mini Rear housing LEAKED!

Images that purport to be the rear shell of the long rumored iPad Mini have surfaced in China.

Rumors that Apple is working on a 7-inch iPad Mini have been picking up speed as of late, and the fact that emails related to such a device were used in court this week only adds to the speculation that it is a reality.  Now Apple.pro has uncovered some images on Chinese micro blogging site Sina Weibo that appear to be the back metal case of such a device.  The original poster has no history of Apple leaks, so there is no way to judge how accurate he is, but as leaks go, this doesn’t look like something could whip up too easily in an afternoon.

Should the images turn out to be the real deal, of interesting note is the lack of any hole for a rear-facing camera. The Nexus 7, the current darling of the 7-inch form factor, is also lacking a rear shooter despite having a space on the board for one.  Is it a way to cut costs?  Do manufacturers not think its essential?  We don’t know as of yet, but it is an interesting trend.

Rumors abound that the iPad Mini will make its debut with the iPhone 5 next month, but we’ll just have to wait and see what Apple has up its sleeve.

iOS 6.0 Beta 2 Music Glitch

Ok, I was listening to music on my iPod Touch 4 with iOS 6 beta 2, and some weird glitch happened. The music screen was in landscape mode when I held the iPod in portrait. Very weird things on iOS 6 Beta 2.
