Talk of the iPad 3 or even the iPad 2 Plus bringing a retina display to the party has been with us for months. Most recently, developers digging through iOS 5 code in June found provision for bumping up icons to twice the resolution of the current iPad 2 screen.
Now those rumours have been revived by an offhand comment from one of the most well-connected Apple commentators in the world and anonymous sources gabbing to the Korea Times…
Earlier this month, we exclusively revealed that a range of Cut The Rope merchandise was on the way, capitalising on the iPhone and Android game’s smash hit success. Today, we’ve got our first look at the cuddly Om Nom toys – click through for the gallery.
Minecraft is digging its way onto Xbox 360 later this year along with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play though the game’s creator, Markus “Notch” Persson is being rather less forthcoming about what the game will entail than he has been about past updates. That’s down to the Xbox 360 version actually getting some marketing budget behind it but the indie developer has still revealed some of his hopes for Minecraft’s console conversion.
We saw an impressive Minecraft Kinect hack in November 2010 and it looks like similar arm-flailing functionality is on Persson’s agenda. Read on for details on how he hopes to put more movement into your virtual mining…
Another day, another rumour about when we can expect Mac OS X Lion and the much-touted new MacBook Air to be revealed. While Apple has confirmed that it will unleash the new OS this month, it has kept schtum about precisely when it’ll be uncaged. Last week saw several false Lion alarms and no sign of the new hardware.
Now new reports are claiming that we’ll see Mac OS X Lion and the new MacBook Air tomorrow. Once again the rumours are pegged on chatter that Apple Store employees will be prepping stores for the launch overnight. Apple has it quarterly earnings call later today which could make Wednesday an ideal time to release new products but we’d still say don’t hold your breath just yet.

The Nokia Sea Ray Windows Phone 7 device made its unofficial on video when Stephen Elop waved it around with suspicious carelessness at a supposedly super-secret briefing that just happened to make it onto YouTube.
Now we’ve got another look at what appears to be the first Nokia Windows Phone 7 handset. This time it’s found lazing around on the floor of a factory in the Far East. Read on for details and to take a look at the device being prodded and poked…
Bad news for RIM: a furious rant from a loyal BlackBerry fan complaining about the company’s ‘demise’ has gone viral.
The unidentified Torch-owner [Ah, that explains it - Ed] blasts RIM with a barrage of criticisms, claiming: ‘l have been lied to and feel abandoned. You have failed as a service and manufacturing company… I would have been better off burning the cash in a money pit.’
Mad as hell, the disgruntled customer implores RIM to ‘listen to your employees, fix your management structure and return to being the industry leader and revolutionary company you once were’, before ‘Google buys you, rips you apart and turns you into their hardware division!’
The chances are, if you own a smartphone, you’ve probably heard of Gameloft. The game developer has carved out quite the niche for itself in the burgeoning app space, selling flagrant rip offs (though often rather addictive ones) of hit console games. You know the drill: Nova instead of Halo, Modern Combat instead of Modern Warfare.
And those games might seem like a bargain, at just a few quid a pop. But if new allegations are true, they cost a lot more in blood, sweat and tears of over-worked developers.
