Facebook does iPad app at last





Facebook does seem to have yielded to the pressure of not having an iPad app - never mind that the iPhone already has a Facebook app on the Apple App Store when it opened in July a few years ago. Winds of change are a-comin' as there are industry insiders who claim that Facebook is on its way to introduce a free iPad application which has been specially designed and optimized for the tablet.
In production for almost a year, and having gone through several design iterations, it should be in its final stages of testing now. Other than that, no further details were released, since the product plans are strictly confidential.



Those who have seen the application claim that it boasts a slick design which has been specially tailored for the iPad and its touchscreen interface. It seems that the Facebook Chat and Facebook Groups features will be overhauled as well, and you can even shoot and upload photos and videos using the iPad's built-in camera to boot.



Initial impressions have been nothing short of positive, so hopefully all this good vibes will be translated to a stunning app when it arrives.

Microsoft Wants to Buy Your Old iPad


Own an old iPad that no longer sees much use? Microsoft's happy to take it off your hands. The company recently began running a new promotion, offering Microsoft Store gift cards in exchange for "gently used" iPads. If you've got an iPad 2, 3, or 4 that meets that criteria, Microsoft will give you a minimum of $200 in store credit which you can spend on one of its Surface tablets or any other product available through the Microsoft Store.


Chair Entertainment Founder: "I Cannot Wait" for Physical Controllers for iPhones


mustard ib3


At Apple's iPhone 5c/5s event on Tuesday, Chair Entertainment co-founder and creative director Donald Mustard debuted Infinity Blade 3, the newest game in the popular iOS sword-fighting series. Naturally, he's making the rounds this week to talk about the new game and how it takes advantage of the iPhone's hardware ... but that's not stopping him from hinting at more to come.



Mustard characterized Infinity Blade 3 as a "statement" of the power of touchscreen design, saying the series "spawned a whole new genre of game." However, absent from the iPhone event this week was an update on how iOS 7 will support physical game controller peripherals, one of the features mentioned at this year's WWDC keynote.



Mustard said he's excited for that eventuality.



"I cannot wait for the day when we can make a mobile game that's supported by a more traditional controller," he said.



He said fans have asked him when Chair would make a touchscreen version of one of its pre-Infinity Blade games, Shadow Complex. The answer: never!



"Shadow Complex wouldn't be good with touchscreen controls," Mustard said, adding that Infinity Blade would not work as well on Xbox. If Chair makes a mobile game for a physical controller peripheral, he said, it "would want to design the experience from the ground up."



It would also be possible to have a mobile game that combines both forms of control, he mused.



In the meantime, though, Infinity Blade 3 at least looked good in Mustard's demo. The battle he showed off on the iPhone 5s featured an imposing and smoothly animated dragon, which was far larger than the game series' previous bosses. Although the dragon will look best on the 5s, it and other animations in the game will still look "awesome" on the iPhone 4, Mustard said, calling the latter device "still pretty damn powerful."



IB3 will cost $6.99 when it goes on sale for iOS devices on Sept. 20, timed to the launch of the 5c and 5s.

Startup Looks to Bring Kinect-Like Camera to the iPad (Video)


Occipital, a company best known for an app that lets users take panoramic photos from their phone, is looking to get into hardware.



Structure Sensor




On Tuesday, Occipital is announcing plans for Structure Sensor, a 3-D camera that brings Kinect-style depth sensing abilities to the iPad and other mobile devices. Attaching such a camera to a phone or tablet paves the way for use in other contexts, including object scanning and augmented reality.



Although Occipital is showing off the sensor on Tuesday, it won't be ready for mainstream consumers until sometime in the middle of next year. The company is launching the product first for developers who order the device on Kickstarter. Doing so, said Occipital CEO Jeff Powers, will get the device into production quicker.



"We really wanted to get feedback from the world," Powers told AllThingsD. "We wanted to also be the first to do this. There's something about being the first to bring the sensor."



Getting a consumer-ready product with three or four fully functioning apps would have meant waiting another year or more. Kickstarter backers willing to pay $500 for a developer kit will get a hand-assembled beta version by this December, while those who pay $349 can get a developer unit around February.



The Structure Sensor is designed to fit directly onto an iPad to link up with its camera, but uses Bluetooth so it could be connected with other phones and tablets. Backers who pay $349 get to choose either an iPad or non-iPad version, while those paying $379 or more will get both attachment options.



The hope is that the developers will not only serve as early enthusiast customers, but also help create the killer apps that will make the Structure Sensor worth it for consumers.



Occipital, which managed to cram PrimeSense's full-size sensor into a mobile device, is likely to face significant competition in the market for mobile-compatible 3-D cameras. Intel talked at last week's developer conference about including 3-D cameras into future Ultrabooks, while imaging-sensor maker PrimeSense has its own Capri sensor that is designed to go into smaller devices.



Powers said that Occipital knows it is a small company likely to bump up against bigger competitors. But he said being small offers some advantages, too.



"We don't have to sell five million of these devices to succeed," Powers said.



Here's a video of the Structure Sensor in action:






Apple Offers Legacy Apps for Old iPhones and iPads


last_compatible_app



9to5Mac


When it debuts tomorrow, iOS 7 - the next generation of Apple's mobile operating system - will support only the iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, iPad mini and the fifth-generation iPod touch. But it's not abandoning the older devices that can't run the new platform.



Apple this week updated its App Store to allow users running older versions of iOS to install legacy versions of apps that are compatible with them. Now, when you attempt to download an app that's no longer supported by your current firmware, instead of getting a "this requires iOS 7 prompt, the device offers to download the "last compatible version" of that app.



Great news for owners of older iPhones and iPads, which will now see the lifespan of those devices extended. Good news for developers, too; now they don't have to worry much about excluding older devices. And a savvy marketing move for Apple, which by rolling out this "last compatible version" feature is offering its customers the assurance that their devices can continue to run their favorite apps even after they've aged out of the latest iOS update.



Update: Okay. Maybe not as great news for developers as I'd thought.

iPad’s TV Commercial wasn’t that Interesting


ipad tv commercial


Hey TBWA, I expected a good form of appraisal to Apple's iPad in your TV commercial like before. I guess Apple is about to launch its iPad in nine more countries now. I actually rolled out on the floor laughing madly at your TV Ad. Man that's hilarious! Come on, when your Ad says "what is iPad?" so I expected some tech specs of the Apple's Tablet not the revealing secrets behind its beauty stated as "iPad is thin. iPad is beautiful". Are you surely talking about the latest Tablet from Apple or some upcoming hot model on the runway! Lol. I guess you need a break and some real techno-driven creative heads for Apple's technologic television advertising. It feels like hell when you drag the pictures here and there, you go through the pages of eBooks or even when that stupid man says "iPad goes anywhere". Excuse me, that's what we all know about, commercials are to brand size the product not to tell what already the consumer knows about. Saying its magical is like something pure madness. Make it this way that let the action speak not any human geek, who is actually fond of Apple's product? Show all that turns iPad really stand different among others. Your commercial was only exciting with the iPad's user interface that includes its instantaneous usability, wide range of applications in App store, internet browsing, multi-touch or even the amazingly worked out picture selection and zooming interface. We can carry the laptop, smartphone or even our cell phones everywhere. Some of them are thin and beautiful too.

New Nexus 7 Packs Quite a Pixel Punch, Landing a Blow at Apple


While Apple watchers are still waiting for an iPhone-style Retina display to make its way to the iPad mini, Android lovers got such a screen with the redesigned Nexus 7.



DAB267D9-2496-4FDD-98D1-203CA2D464F7-483-00001D14F71575CC




The second-generation Nexus 7 is capable of showing full HD content, thanks to a screen that shows a whopping 323 pixels per inch - well into the territory of screens where the individual pixels are too small to be recognized by the human eye from a reasonable reading distance.



Numbers aside, that means that the Nexus 7 can show movies in full 1080p high definition, a feat Apple's iPad mini can't match.



While the larger iPad has a greater-than-HD Retina display, it uses a totally different type of screen technology from the iPhone, and the mini is still in the less-than-Retina category. The Nexus 7, meanwhile, uses a similar display to the iPhone - part of what allowed Google and manufacturing partner Asus to make the device so thin and light.



Managing to secure such a screen - and to pack it into a relatively low-cost device - was no small feat.



Google's Hiroshi Lockheimer said the company has been working for quite some time with Japan Display - the company that makes the screens, which are known as LTPS (low-temperature poly-silicon) displays.



But in managing to incorporate such a screen, Google now has a strong selling point over both the iPad mini and other Android tablets with lower-resolution displays.



"They are using a lot of high-end technologies in an entry-level device," said DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim.



Shim said that Apple may be able to start producing later this year the components for a Retina-level iPad mini, but said volume shipments of such a device won't come until the first few months of next year because of the challenges of producing such a display.



Android and Chrome head Sundar Pichai said that, even at its $229 starting price, there is still room for retailers, Asus and Google itself to profit from the product.



The other big coup of the Nexus 7 was managing to create a single LTE model that can sell unlocked and work with carriers around the globe. In the U.S., for example, the same Nexus 7 can be connected to the networks of AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.



Pichai said that is part of the company's aim with its Nexus devices, and that doing so will help the cellular-equipped model be more attractive to retailers leery of having to stock multiple different products.

Android tablets now account for 30% of the market?





If you were to tell us that Android tablets would eventually become the dominant choice for consumers one day, we wouldn't be surprised in the least bit. That said, it would be easier to believe if there were a better selection of decent Android tablets available to go against themarket leading iPad 2. Well, apparently quality doesn't mean all that much because according to the latest report from Strategy Analytics show Google's OS now taking up 30% of the market's tablet sales.



Not long ago, the Apple iPad had the market all to itself and stood alone with 93% of the market as Android tablets struggled to get a foot in the door with less than 3%. Fast forward to today and Android's strength in numbers is beginning to repeat its success the same way it took over the smartphone world. The OS still has a long way to go to genuinely compete with the likes of the iPad but the number of sales aspect is beginning to wane. Or so it seems.



Comparing the likes of the iPad 2 and Android tablets is simply unfair. There have only been two different iPad models, both as high-end as possible when released and the majority of Android tablets are stuck in 2009. With the exception of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Android tablets are nowhere near the beauty of the iPad 2. Given that you can grab an Android tablet for significantly less than the cheapest iPad, the number isn't as surprising as it sounds. That said, most of those cheaper Android tablets likely have questionable build quality, a lower version of the OS, and probably a no-name brand.



The one decently built, cheaper, Android Honeycomb tablet that seems to keep flying off shelves is the Asus Transformer. It's definitely a chunkier tablet but those who have grabbed the device seem to be very happy with it. Asus is now shipping over 400,000 Transformer tablets a month, which may just be a spec on Apple's radar, but is nonetheless impressive for a tablet that's only $100 cheaper than the iPad 2.



One also needs to consider that this is just one analytic firm's numbers and said numbers may be dramatically different from another firm's findings. That said, this is really just the beginning of Android tablets taking off, if you believe these numbers or not. With the rumored Nexus tablet that's still in the back of our minds, things could get very interesting in the coming months.

Artikulator coming to rock your iPad with some thrilling music


articulator ipad app music


Well, none of the app in the cluster of nearly 300,000 iPad apps in the App store is comparable to the functionality of this unique app. Articulator is the right kind of music app on iPad for an enhanced instrumental experienced.



I love to create my own music and enjoy it instantaneously though I am not professionally trained or expert in the field. The app makes it possible in no other way but just through a sensitive multi-touch screen device that rejoices you with non-stop music rapping or jamming. It does not strict to any age group or certain class; kids or completely untrained music lovers can enjoy the app equally.



iPad app "Artikulator" enables users to create and play their very own kind of music notations. That is somewhat really different from that notes on staves and rapidly spontaneous through sliding fingers across the multi-touch screen. The very cultured sheet music is a crypto graphical coding for the inexperienced music lovers with a very simple functionality.







The developers Mike Rotondo and Luke lannini created this app in just a period of 24 hours during a Music Hackday. Music Hackday is a series of events that combine two very dissimilar likes' together; art and technology. The app is about to be released soon in the App store that wouldn't charge any cents for initial levels. Good news for those unlucky readers who do not own their iPad yet, app is also compatible with iPhone.



It is nothing too difficult to deal with as the app is about moving your fingers on the screen up-high or low as you wish to and create different sound frequencies. A line that curves upward will create a higher-pitched sound and a line that is bigger will play louder. The user interface for this app is no doubt a creative and admirable way to enhance the music knowledge. Thanks to the developers most importantly it keeps me away from the confusing and painful techniques to play music of my own.

iPad’s contributions to the Media industry


ipad-media-industry


Could you memorize that mid 90's attempt to burn CD's with recreated magazine PDF's like Times on CD-ROM for exclusive multimedia experience on PCs. Although the results were really good and CD-ROM publications shared a good market by replacing number of print counterpart.



Furthermore, improvements were made to the tech-industry and compact disk contents were brought to Web with enhanced graphical and users interface. Now the Apple's tablet called as "iPad" is in the electronic landscape offering an improved print media along with advanced and geeky specs. The iPad has centred a specific market for eBooks, newspapers, magazines and comics. Recently launched "Wired" magazine app for iPad is a digitalized version that sold for almost 1,000 copies an hour at the first day.



The newly opted comic library in the eBook store for both paid and free app is also a successive measure of the Apple's latest device. Over 150,000 apps exclusively for iPad and iphone supported apps counts around 200,000 is a big number in just 2 months. The apps aren't that expensive or highly interfaced they range from $0.99-4.99 in a great quantity where others exceed too. Tapping around the pages on a multi-touch interface 9.6 inches larger screen is an amazing experience that every individual counts on. At the same time you can leave notes and bookmarks to mark the page you left while reading the eBook, magazine or comic.

Schools Complain iOS 7 Upgrade Stripped Filters From Students' iPads


iOS7_edu


Apple's iOS 7 was supposed to make it easier for schools to manage the iPads that are becoming increasingly common in the classroom. But for some, the latest version of the mobile operating system is proving to be a bit of a headache.



A number of schools that have upgraded their iPad deployments to iOS 7 said that installing the new OS removed the supervision profiles they had installed on the devices. This rendered those iPads unsupervised, depriving administrators of their remote-management privileges and eliminating the filtering protections they had established to prevent students from accessing inappropriate content they might stumble upon outside school.



"Apple did not realize that installing iOS 7 would remove our (and thousands of organizations across the country) safety protection measure, which now makes the iPad devices unfiltered when accessing the Internet away from school," said a memo from the Manitou Springs (Colo.) School District 14 to parents, verified by AllThingsD. "In the short term, the district will be collecting iPad devices at the end of each day until the safety protection measure is reinstalled."



And Manitou Springs School District 14 is not an isolated case. According to Apple's support forums and some external IT discussion boards, schools across the U.S. are grappling with the issue, which is causing a lot of angst and frustration for administrators.



At Manitou, the district ended up collecting hundreds of iPads that had been upgraded to iOS 7, wiping them, and then reinstalling the OS along with the apps and student content originally on the devices. "It's been a major undertaking," Superintendent Ed Longfield told AllThingsD.



That's particularly the case for affected schools with large iPad deployments, some of which have gone so far as to adjust their network settings to block over-the-air iOS 7 updates. "When we first caught wind of the bug, I tweaked our DNS to stop iPads from checking for software updates," a school administrator who declined to be named told AllThingsD. "That helped us to keep a lot of our iPads running iOS 6.1.3. We plan to maintain those settings until Apple addresses the issue."



And Apple is working hard to do just that, though it's not yet clear when it will have a resolution.



"Some business and education users have reported that their supervised devices have reverted to unsupervised when they upgrade to iOS 7," Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller told AllThingsD. "We are aware of this issue, and will have a fix this month."

Bloomberg: Next iPads Now in Production, Screen to Have Anti-Reflection Coating



Bloomberg reported Tuesday that Apple's suppliers have now begun manufacturing the next iPad Air and iPad mini. Citing anonymous sources "with knowledge of the matter," the report says that the iPad Air could be announced as early as September, while the mini is expected to be available by the end of the year. In addition, Bloomberg says the new iPads will have an anti-reflection coating on the screen to make it easier to see in bright light. However, they also say that production problems with the coating could restrict manufacturing.



It will be interesting to see if sales of the iPad pick up when the new models are announced. In the past two quarters, Apple has had year-over-year declines in iPad sales. New features such as Apple ID, an A8 processor, and the anti-reflection coating could help boost sales. But more likely, Apple's recent partnership with IBM will be a big factor in increased sales, as the corporate market begins adopting the iPad on a much broader scale. The two companies are collaborating on over 100 software programs specifically tailored for the enterprise. In addition, IBM is optimizing their cloud services for iOS as well as creating packaged services for activating and managing devices. There will also be specific AppleCare offerings for the enterprise.



In advance of the new iPads, Apple has begun new marketing campaigns for the device, including two new videos in its "Your Verse" series. In one of the ads, Apple features two Chinese musicians who use the iPad to compose new tracks and to create rhythms during live performances. The other ad features a resident of Detroit who uses an iPad in his efforts to promote the city, employing it to manage every facet of an organization he founded.


In addition, if you're an Apple customer, you likely received Apple's new email ad on Monday promoting the iPad as a productivity tool. The mailer promotes the iWork suite and Microsoft's Office for iPad, as well as linking to the new videos.

I can't wait until they come out with the new iPads. I'm more than ready to replace my aging iPad mini, but will likely hold onto my iPad Air for another year.

L.A. Unified School District Wants iPads for All 640,000 Students


blackboard_ipad


Back in June, the Los Angeles Unified School District awarded Apple a $30 million contract to provide its students with iPads. Under its terms, the company will supply about 31,000 iPads to 47 LAUSD schools, each preloaded with a bunch of educational software. But evidently that's just the first phase of the program.



According to an LAUSD representative, the nation's second-largest school district hopes to provide iPads to all 640,000 students by late 2014. Which means it's going to buy a few hundred thousand more iPads over the next year - though it's not yet sure how it's going to do it. "We're hoping that we will get a lot of private donors," Mark Hovatter, chief facilities executive for LAUSD, told CITEworld.



That's very good news for Apple. If LAUSD is able to pull together the money to realize this plan, it will be purchasing hundreds of thousands of additional iPads. Which potentially means another big iPad contract in the offing, and the chance to expose thousands of kids to the iOS ecosystem.

After Hacking Attack, Apple's Dev Center Site Is Up and Running Again


Happy_mac


Eight days after taking it down in response to a security breach, Apple has restored the website for its Developer Center.



Apple didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. But the entry page of the site was clearly visible this afternoon. Some sections, like forums, were still offline. Certificates, identifiers and profiles were back online.



An email circulated to Apple developers said, "Thank you for bearing with us while we bring these important systems back online. We will continue to update you with our progress." It has also added a system status page so members can keep track of what's back and working and what's not.



Access to the site had been curtailed for several days as Apple investigated the circumstances of a security incident said to have occurred on July 18.



The company said in an email to its developer community (see below) three days after the incident took place that the site had been accessed by what it called "an intruder."



Apple said in the original email disclosing the breach that it would be "completely overhauling our developer systems, updating our server software, and rebuilding our entire database." It hasn't gone into any further detail about the nature of the attack.



The Apple developer site grants access to iOS 7, OS X Mavericks and other software development tools. When it first went down it was marked with a notice saying it was down for maintenance. A later notice apologized that maintenance was taking longer than expected. Developers were told that memberships that would have expired during the downtime had been automatically extended.



Since extended downtime of this sort is rare with Apple, people in the dev community naturally began to wonder what was up. Apple finally came clean about the attempted attack and said that "...we have not been able to rule out the possibility that some developers' names, mailing addresses, and/or email addresses may have been accessed." Still no word on that.



Here's the full text of the email sent around to developers.



Developer Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles Now Available



We appreciate your patience as we work to bring our developer services back online. Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, software downloads, and other developer services are now available. If you would like to know the availability of a particular system, visit our status page.



If your program membership expired or is set to expire during this downtime. It will be extended and your app will remain on the App Store. If you have any other concerns about your account please contact us.



Thank you for bearing with us while we bring these important systems back online. We will continue to update you with our progress.
