And then there are the hopeful tidbits that are just interesting and indicative of the innovation that keeps the tech industry flowing and creating new and exciting things that we all love.Here’s a quickguide of the year’s top TECH news!

Steve Jobs introducing the last iphone....EPIC!!

Steve Jobs’ death struck everyone where it hurts. Shortly after the announcement of the iPhone 4S, news of his passing eclipsed everything else for the week; all eyes where on him as the tributes poured out and everyone focused their attention on Jobs and the life and company that he left behind. His book that came out right after his death hit the #1 spot on Amazon’s bestseller list quicker than anything before. As a pioneer in computers and highly innovative technology, Jobs brought us the iPod, iPhone, and beloved iPad that created a new sector in mobile electronics. He was a man who didn’t make any product to fit the state of the current market; he created the product and the market came to him.

Apple icloud opens !

Wednesday,12 october 2011

A few weeks to get accustomed to iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion, but one headlining feature has been notably inaccessible since it was unveiled earlier this summer. During his WWDC keynote, Steve Jobs touted iCloud as a service that will sync many of your Apple devices, for free. Macs, iPhones, iPads, and even Windows computers can synchronize documents, contacts, calendar appointments, and other data. You’ll also be able to back up your iOS devices remotely, use an Apple-hosted email account, and store your music in the cloud. Well, this week Apple finally lit up its cloud-based service for developers, letting some of us take a sneak peek at the new service.

Apple also announced pricing, confirming that you’ll be able to add annual subscriptions with 10GB ($20), 20GB ($40), or 50GB ($100) of storage ‘atop your free 5GB account. We took our five gig account for a spin, creating documents in Pages, spreadsheets in Numbers, and presentations in Keynote, then accessing them from the iCloud web interface to download Microsoft Office and PDF versions. We also tried our luck at iOS data syncing and the soon-to-be-controversial Photo Stream, so jump past the break for our full iCloud hands-on.

Wrap-up

Overall, iCloud isn’t quite fully baked, and Apple definitely has some kinks to work out. But for a free service that’s just entering beta and is currently restricted to developers, it’s off to a rather solid start. We’ll have more coverage once the service rolls out for all Mac OS 10.7 Lion and iOS 5 users, but check out the gallery up top for a brief look at some of the new features in the meantime.

Updated iPhone !

Attention soon turned to when Apple might unveil the new device. For the last two years, Apple has announced it’s new iPhone at it’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June. This year, however, Steve Jobs took to the stage to provide a glimpse of iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion, but did not show off a new iPhone.

Attention then turned to Apple’s fall music event—September? October? Never? We finally got our answer late last month, when Apple sent out invites for today’s event, urging attendees to “talk iPhone”.Today, all the anxieties of APPLE fans have come to an end.

It has finally happened, the updated iphone 4 is here and it is called the iPhone 4s.The updates to the iphone are:

  1.  Voice-recognition system: where you can speck and ask the phone to dictate you message to search, to place an appoint, reminder  & and much more.
  2. Camera: 8 mega-pixel camera, and faster Bionic takes only 3.7 sec, 1080pHD video
  3. dual-core A5 chip, as well as dual-core graphics and 7x faster performance
  4. same retina display found on the iPhone 4.
  5. New Infinity Blade II on stores 12.1.11
  6. More battery life:  not that big of a difference
  7. Antennas: they added two of them so you will never lose any signal bars.
  8. Faster browsing

  10. Wired & Wireless Mirroring you can do both.

The iPhone 4S will come pre-loaded with iOS 5, which will make its debut on October 14th and you can pre order starting the 7th of october, along with iCloud.And its said THE MOST AMAZING IPHONE YET!

The prices will be:
