Apple is airing a new commercial toting the wonders of Siri on an iPhone 4S, helping Santa and his sleigh of eight tiny reindeer deliver presents to all good girls and boys. Both clever and fun, the commercial brings a smile to the face and, instead of visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads, perhaps we can better imagine and dream of new iPhones and iPads showing up in our stocking or under the tree. Here’s hoping!

iPad Tips: Swipe Gesture to See Inbox Message List Using Mail in Portrait Mode
iPad Insight26 Jan 2012 | 11:41 amI generally use the Mail app on the iPad in landscape mode, because I like that it shows both the Inbox (or whichever mailbox is selected) message list (as a sort of left sidebar) and shows an individual selected message content, in the right portion of the page. This morning I found a nice tip for making the Mail app on iPad nicer to use in portrait mode – an easy swipe gesture to pull up the Inbox message list when you’re in portrait mode. Here’s how: All you have to do is swipe left to right to see the message list as a popover on the left side of the page. Swipe right to left to… -

Apple Lands on Top of the Smartphone Heap
27 Jan 2012 | 5:38 pmThe interesting thing about news like this is that most people aren’t likely to be surprised that Apple is the largest smartphone vendor. The hype of the iPhone has proven solid in sales for years now, but it is still amazing to me that the company that sold my first computer (Apple II+) has really hit its stride in the mobile market. The race for first place is still close and Apple has not claimed the lead by a large amount. The lead is only maintained by .4% over Samsung for the fourth quarter of 2011. In their latest report, Strategy Analytics has determined that Samsung is the… -

AT&T activated 7.6 million iPhones in the last quarter of 2011
26 Jan 2012 | 9:07 amAT&T reported that they activated 7.6 million iPhones in the last quarter of 2011 alone. It was the best ever quarter for sales of the iPhone on the network. Luckily for the iPhone 4S launch, it helped the carrier overcome a big net loss, $6.7 billion or $1.12 per share. This was due to the $4 million fee for the failed merger with T-Mobile. Total revenue for the quarter was $33 billion, a 3.6% increase from a year ago. Exceptional iPhone sales helped out to achieve the lower operating margins. CEO Randall Stephenson said share repurchases due “in short order.” AT&T also… -

Innovative Dictation App Air Dictate Retired
23 Jan 2012 | 5:55 pmI was sad to read Erica Sadun’s post at TUAW that iPhone app Air Dictate is being retired early. Air Dictate app pairs with a small piece of software installed on your computer to transcribe Siri dictation onto your Mac. Apparently, some of Air Dictate’s interface violates Apple’s interface rules for apps which caused it to be removed from the App Store. I applauded Avatron, the Portland developer of Air Dictate back in December, for coming up with an innovative app of interest to lawyers, many of whom dictate. If you got it while it was in the App Store, good for you. It… -
CloudOn Followup

A lot has happened since that post and some new information has become available as well. This catches up on what I think is of interest to lawyers about this important app. App and Service Status. After briefly pulling CloudOn from the App Store in a move to freeze further sign ups, CloudOn is back in the store but the service sign ups will be handled in waves. According to CloudOn: There will be a limited number of notifications sent in each wave, and they will be sent on a… -

iPad Numbers and the Post-PC Era
27 Jan 2012 | 10:05 amFrom Horace Dediu’s Asymco post on the second Year of the iPad in a row. The iPad has out-sold the Mac since inception and is now about three times the volume. However, the growth rate in the Mac has not changed much. The new data shows that the iPad alone would be the largest PC vendor and Apple with iPad and Mac combined is selling 5 million more units (or 30%) than the top PC vendor. Selling three times as many iPads as Macs at a time when Mac sales continue on a nice upward trend is impressive – but that last bit that I’ve bolded above is the truly amazing part. The new data (latest… -

More Crazy iPad Numbers and More Thoughts on It from Apple’s CEO

Here are a few of those amazing numbers that have caught my eye, along with some of those thoughts from Tim Cook, and a few of my own thoughts: – As Alicia noted the other day, Apple sold over 40 million iPads in 2011, and over 15 million in the last quarter of the year.

iPad 3 in March 2012
22 Jan 2012 | 9:57 pmWith the iPad 2 being released just several months ago, get ready for the iPad 3 to launch by Apple in as early as March of this year. What will the iPad 3 offer? The most anticipated feature of the iPad 3 is expected to be a retina display like the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S have to offer. A retina display on the iPad 3 would double the resolution and offer a substantially-improved viewing experience when reading text books in iBooks 2, for instance. I’m enjoying my iPad 2 very much and can’t really justify an upgrade to an iPad 3 so soon, but I have to admit that the prospect of… -
Protect yourself from iPad and iPhone germs
20 Dec 2011 | 2:49 pmIt’s that time of year — well, yes, it’s almost Christmas, but it’s that OTHER time of year… the time of year when it’s cold, snowy (depending on where you live), and germs run rampant as adults and kids alike have the sniffles. Personally, I’ve dealt with at least two colds and a bout of the flu. It seems like just when I was getting over one contagion, another would come along and smack me upside the head. This, of course, got me thinking very carefully about how to better protect myself from germs and further illness. In addition to doorknobs,… -
“I, Steve” a great stocking-stuffer
20 Dec 2011 | 12:47 amWith Christmas just a few days away, perhaps you are looking for a last-minute gift for the Apple-lover(s) in your life. The pocket-sized book, “I, Steve” — Steve Jobs In His Own Words — edited by George Beahm, is a great stocking-stuffer and a must-have for any Apple enthusiast and fan of the late, great Steve Jobs. Chock full of quotes from Steve, it is interesting to get a look into one of great minds of our time.

Belfry Tweak Adds Native iPhone Apps to Jailbroken iPads
26 Jan 2012 | 11:56 amYou've already jailbroken your iPad 2 using pod2g's exploit, but what should you do with it now? For starters you can add basic iPhone apps that Apple didn't include with their tablets for some unknown reason. iOS developer Ryan Petrich's Belfry tweak allows you to add Clock, Voice Memos, Stocks, Calculator, Compass and Weather to the iPad. Both the Clock and Stock apps work with the iPad's native resolution, but the rest must be zoomed in to work better with its display. read more -
Virtual Laser Keyboard Arrives for iPad
24 Jan 2012 | 10:22 pmThe magical device pictured below may not look much like a Bluetooth iPad keyboard. In fact, this three-inch high little accessory projects a virtual laser keyboard onto any flat surface in its path. An optical sensor recognizes keystrokes in three dimensions, making the Magic Cube the ultimate portable keyboard from the future. That is, of course, if it actually works. Preliminary reviews of a similar device, the Celluon Prodigy were not so flattering at CES. The Prodigy does have a much different design, being built into the side of an iPhone case. read more -

iPad Case Manufacturers Already Selling iPad 2S Cases
20 Jan 2012 | 9:06 amNext generation iPad cases have already begun popping up in China. The latest comes from the case manufacturer Chinee, who claims Apple will release a slightly thicker iPad, possibly called the iPad 2S, sometime this year. Case manufacturers have already led us astray with the iPhone 5, and now they're starting to contradict each other when it comes to the next generation iPad. An unnamed iPad case designer recently told Cult of Mac that the iPad 3 would be thinner, not thicker. However, Chinee claims to have inside information from sources within Apple’s supply chain. If Chinee is correct,… -

Like drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa, everything starts to look out of place. Take this classic arcade conversion, for example. For starters, our hero has for some reason been given a narrative to plough through (other than break some fools’ windows), and a girl to chase, rather than the concerns of say, a small boy. Aside from scriptwriting matters, his… -

Lack of originality aside, though, Gameloft has managed to create an excellent adventure, with great production values, impressive visuals, and workable touch-screen controls that make this a breeze to play. From the opening cut-scene, complete… -

Apple Lands on Top of the Smartphone Heap
27 Jan 2012 | 5:38 pmThe interesting thing about news like this is that most people aren’t likely to be surprised that Apple is the largest smartphone vendor.
