21.01.2011

Who you calling old?

14.01.2011

As we eagerly wait for the next iPad (please make it by April) and listen nonchalantly to ipods on the bus while reading the paper on our iPhone, there’s a whole new generation out there who are absolutely clueless about the technology of yesterday. Thirty? Who you calling old?

iPad sales figures disappointing

19.10.2010

A slowdown in sales of iPads has led to the slip of apple shares by 6% in after-hours trading. Apple has stated that it has sold 4.2m units by the end of September – 0.8m short of the predicted 5m target. Is this the beginning of the end of the apple i-revolution. Is Jobs taking [...]
