Apple iPad 2 Live Announcement to Take Place March 2 in San Francisco

Hans — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 22:31:52 +0000

The Apple iPad 2 Live announcement will take place tomorrow March 2 in Yerba Buena Center for Arts Theater, and you can watch Apple iPad 2 Live Announcement at 10:00 AM PST.

Although Apple hasn’t officially announced their event is about the iPad 2, it is obvious because the invite they sent shows an iPad behind their calendar. Many rumors are popping up already, and most of them say that iPad 2 will have a camera on the front and back and a slimmer design.

There have been rumors of iOS 5 as well, but I believe Apple will hold a separate event for iOS 5 later in April. The iPad 2 live event will start at 10:00 AM Pacific time or 1:00 PM Eastern time, so stay tuned. Follow us on Facebook, or Twitter to receive updates on iPad 2.

Steve Jobs National Enquirer Story Claims He Has Six Weeks Left

Hans — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 16:51:23 +0000

A Steve Jobs National Enquirer story is making it’s rounds on the web today. According to Steve Jobs National Enquirer headlines, Steve Jobs has six weeks to live. National Enquirer is a gossip/celebrity news/photos website, so you should take whatever they say with a grain of salt.

How in the world did National Enquirer come up with Steve Jobs having six weeks left? Well, they claim to have spotted Steve Jobs in Stanford Cancer Center, and have taken a photo of him here. You don’t see the actual face of Steve Jobs in there, so it could very well be a fake. The photo could have been touched up using software like Adobe Photoshop.

Regardless of whether it’s really Steve Jobs in the photo or not, I hope Steve Jobs gets better and his health improves. Journalists should respect Steve Jobs’ wishes and give him privacy rather than trying to get in his personal life.

All the waiting has left many of us wondering when the iPhone would be available on the Verizon network. Well, it seems that all our waiting is finally over. The Verizon event that had been scheduled today at 11:00 a.m. Eastern was one that we expected to astound us with the news we all have been waiting eagerly for.

Well then, in that case: It’s TRUE! Today at the Verizon Event, Lowell McAdam- Verizon president and CEO announced the release of the iPhone on the Verizon network. The event started with Lowell McAdam refreshing the audience with the previous event at the CES, Consumer Electronics Show 2011.

Verizon iPhone Announcement (2011) Coming January 11

Hans — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 05:31:18 +0000

The Verizon iPhone Announcement (2011) is going to happen today, January 11, 2010. Although neither Apple nor Verizon has confirmed the launch of a Verizon iPhone, we know that it’s happening due to reports from The Wall Street Journal, and many people bloggers being invited to Verizon’s event tomorrow.

Verizon iPhone Announcement Details

The Verizon iPhone announcement will take place at 11:00 AM EST/2:00 PM Pacific time. You can watch Verizon iPhone Announcement live, or come back here later tomorrow for updates. Just so you don’t get your hopes up, most reports are saying that the Verizon iPhone will NOT have a sim card slot, and it won’t work on Verizon’s LTE or 4G network. The Verizon iPhone will run on the CDMA network which has 3G speed, not 4G.

Verizon did hold an event during CES, but there was no Verizon iPhone Announcement. Instead Verizon demonstrated the speed of their LTE (4G) network which they recently launched. I’m sure the next generation iPhone 5 will support 4G, so I recommend you wait until next year if you want to get an iPhone on Verizon.

Verizon iPhone Hint appears on Skype Website

Hans — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 04:22:20 +0000

The Verizon iPhone is a heavily rumored Apple product, which has been in the news for years. Lately there have been lots of clues pointing to a Verizon iPhone hardware. Skype posted a document detailing the video calling feature they’re adding to iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Video calling hasn’t been officially announced by Skype, but will be covered in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) during January 6 2011.

The page on Skype’s website was located here, but was later removed after many sites started posting about it on the Internet. A copy of it was saved, and can be viewed at this page.

When the Skype page was up, it had a Verizon logo which suggested a Verizon iPhone. Of course Apple has launched the iPad on Verizon and it seems logical for them to launch the iPhone on Verizon as well. WWDC 2011 is in June, so we need to wait 6 more months to find out.
