<p>Flipboard released a rather significant update for its iOS app tonight, bringing the social news aggregator to version 2.0. The update includes a few major new features, including custom magazines and user notifications, and other improvements.</p>
<p>Perhaps the biggest addition to the app is the ability to create your own custom magazines. Users can now collect and save content into their own magazines, sort of like Pinterest, allowing users to essentially bookmark their favorite stuff&#8230;(...)<br/>Read the rest of <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/26/flipboard-2-0-is-out-with-custom-magazines-notifications-and-more/">Flipboard 2.0 is out with custom magazines, notifications and more</a></p>

<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve heard any new information regarding Apple&#8217;s <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/tag/itv/">rumored TV project</a>. It seems &#8216;iTV&#8217; speculation has been replaced by talk of Apple&#8217;s secret plans for the <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/tag/iwatch/">smartwatch space</a>, and its expected entry into the <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/02/11/budget-iphone-june/">budget handset market</a>.</p>
<p>But that changed this evening with a new report out of China, claiming that Apple has been in discussions with Foxconn over the production schedule of a TV set.

<p>Like last week, this week&#8217;s episode again takes into account some of your suggestions. For instance, some of you will be happy to find a brief introduction to the podcast.

<p>But wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if you could get this kind of information without having to <em>look</em> at your phone?

<p>While this process is just fine for folks who keep their iOS devices Passcode-protected at all times, it&#8217;s fairly tedious for those that only enable the security feature every once in a while. Luckily, there&#8217;s TapTapPass&#8230;(...)<br/>Read the rest of <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/26/taptappass-jailbreak-tweak/">Quickly enable the Passcode on your device with TapTapPass</a></p>

<p>Research firm IDC today shared an interesting data point which again reminds us that the mobile game has pretty much come down to the epic fight for supremacy between California-based Apple and Seoul-headquartered Samsung group. Combined shipments of desktop and notebook PCs, tablets and smartphones rose to 378 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, accounting for $168 billion in quarterly sales.</p>
<p>One particular data point has piqued our interest: thanks to the (sarcasm alert) &#8220;disappointing&#8221; iPhone 5 and &#8220;overpriced&#8221; iPad mini, Apple closed the gap with the South Korean giant, having accounted for a 20.3 percent unit share versus 21.2 percent for its rival.</p>
<p>And, of course, when you narrow down the analysis to just revenues, Apple&#8217;s high-margin business has allowed the company to pull in the market-leading 30.7 percent revenue versus 20.4 percent revenue share for Samsung.</p>
<p>In other words, nearly one out of every three dollars spent on desktop/notebook PCs, smartphones and tablets in Q4 2012 went to Apple, with Samsung taking one out of each five bucks&#8230;(...)<br/>Read the rest of <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/26/idc-apple-samsung-smart-connected-devices/">IDC: Apple within spitting distance of Samsung in smart connected devices</a></p>

<p>If you&#8217;re looking for bargain deals on iPhone and iPad games ahead of Easter, the Japanese games maker Capcom has you covered. The company has reduced some of its popular iOS titles down to the 99-cent price point, including several installments in its <em>Street Fighter</em> series and <em>Mega Man X</em>, a nice arcade-quality action platformer with crisp Retina graphics.</p>

<p>Sebastien and I share a passion for <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/iphone-photography/">iPhone photography</a> so when he asked me to take a look at Handy Photo the other day, I was overly excited. So what does this new photography app does that your favorite software can&#8217;t? How about AntiCrop and TouchRetouch, two interesting features that work a lot like content-aware fill in Photoshop?</p>
<p>Or, perhaps you&#8217;ll be impressed by the ability to perform complex touch ups and work with 36-megapixel images (not a typo)? The promo video is a bit cheesy and heavy on superlatives, but it does a nice job highlighting key features of this handy program.

<p>After realizing India&#8217;s potential, Apple is now acting to catch up with rival Samsung. The latest sign of Apple&#8217;s new-found interest: a Tuesday report claiming the iPhone maker plans to open 200 exclusive stores in the country, tripling the number of locations now available to India&#8217;s mobile consumers.</p>
<p>The push into retailing for Apple reportedly includes importing suppliers to help local franchisers adopt the iconic sleek glass design of other locations selling iPhones, iPads and other devices from the Cupertino firm.

<p><a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/25/t-mobile-iphone-march-26/">As expected</a>, T-Mobile USA announced at its <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/18/tmobile-march-26/">&#8220;Uncarrier&#8221; event</a> in New York that it&#8217;s finally become the official distributor of the iPhone, six years after Apple announced its game-changing smartphone. The company will start offering the iconic device April 12 and has confirmed it&#8217;ll work on its <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/22/t-mobile-lte-8-cities/">LTE network</a>, which also formally launched on Tuesday. The iPhone 5, of course, also supports T-Mobile&#8217;s speedy HSPA+ covering 225 million people in 229 metropolitan areas.</p>
<p>Unlike AT&amp;T, Verizon and Sprint &#8211; or most of the world&#8217;s carriers for that matter &#8211; the Deutsche Telekom-owned wireless telco will sell Apple&#8217;s device contract-free, tapping its <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/01/29/carriers-pay-notice-unsubsidized-iphone/">previously mulled monthly installments</a> in another uncharacteristic industry practice. <em>&#8220;We&#8217;re canceling our membership to the Wireless Carrier Club,&#8221;</em> CEO John Legere quipped at the presser.</p>
<p>Specifically, per T-Mobile&#8217;s <a href="http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/t-mobile-unleashes-iphone-5">press release</a>, you&#8217;ll be paying $99.99 upfront to get an entry-level 16GB iPhone 5, without ever having to put your signature on a two-year service contract. The rest of the device&#8217;s unsubsidized price will be recovered through installment plans requiring you to drop an additional $20 over the next 24 months.</p>
<p>Quickly, do the math in your head: under these terms, the iPhone 5 will set you back $580 in total, a nice $69 saving over the unlocked $649 iPhone 5 on Apple&#8217;s web store&#8230;(...)<br/>Read the rest of <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/26/t-mobile-finally-lands-the-iphone-available-from-april-12-99-upfront/">T-Mobile finally lands the iPhone: available April 12, $99 upfront</a></p>

However, this time we&#8217;re giving Munster credit for trying to deflate the hype balloon which has taken Apple stock and consumers for a ride fueled by unreal expectations. The analyst is just the latest Wall Street figure hoping to inject reality into a belief that the Cupertino, Calif. iPhone maker was immune to the vagaries of mortal businesses &#8211; such as down periods.</p>
<p>In a note to his clients, Munster walked a fine line, laying out some uncomfortable numbers for a company that hasn&#8217;t reported negative figures in a decade. Along the way, he also tested the waters of delayed gratification during a time investors appear more like strung-out addicts accustom to quarter after quarter of mind-blowing revenue from Apple&#8230;(...)<br/>Read the rest of <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/26/apple-gene-munster-no-gizmos-until-summer/">Munster pops Apple hype balloon: no new gizmos until June&#8217;s iPhone 5S launch</a></p>

<p>Research firm comScore today issued a new survey of the world&#8217;s top web properties. Apple.com, which comScore ranked the world&#8217;s eleventh most-popular web site last year, climbed to the #8 slot, reflecting the growing popularity of Apple gadgets in the post-Jobs era. Matter of fact the Apple.com web site recorded a 54 percent increase in the number of hits compared to last year.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a significant difference versus a 38 percent average gain for the top 100 measured web properties and the largest increase in the top ten rankings. It should be noted that the web analytics company now finally includes both hits from desktop as well as mobile devices.

<p>Apple Tuesday was granted an intriguing multitouch patent with a wrinkle: no screen display necessary. Instead of glancing down at your iPod during a workout to adjust the volume or skip past an annoying track, you simply touch the screen. The patent, first filed in 2009, opens up a number of potential benefits, including extending battery life.</p>
<p>Rather than your iPod nano&#8217;s screen displaying controls such as sliders, Apple envisions devices accepting multitouch user input even when a screen itself is blank. Not only would this open the potential for eliminating hardware controls, but the technology may also become part of everyday devices ranging from your iPhone, iWatch or even iGlasses, should Apple decide to compete with Google&#8230;(...)<br/>Read the rest of <a href="http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/03/26/apple-patent-no-screen-controls/">Apple envisions multitouch gestures on blank screens</a></p>

<p>Growing up in the 90&#8242;s provided the extreme advantage of spending late nights in front of Mech Warrior 2.
