iTunes 11 tomorrow?

As Mark Gurman, and less importantly, the Wall Street Journal report, Apple may be releasing the lusted-after iTunes 11 tomorrow. It’s been delayed multiple times. It’s been possibly leaked a handful of times. It’s been re-imagined by a handful of designers and developers alike. However, after all of this time, it still hasn’t been released. We really want it to be released, mainly because using the current iTunes is like sticking a needle under the fingernail of your largest finger, but also because it does look pretty slick.

iPad Mini – What We Know

Today, Apple sent out the invites for the event where they’ll be announcing the iPad Mini. You can find out coverage of there here. There’s quite a handful of announcements that Apple has up their sleeve, but one of them, in our opinion, deserves more attention than the others.

As you may have assumed, this device is the notorious iPad Mini. For years, news sites have been reporting on the mini iPad – it’s been getting time on the stage for years and years, always seeming to dodge an actual release. This time, as we reported, we believe that it will be announced.

There’s numerous reasons why we think it will hit the stores soon, and most of them are related to Apple’s poor security and damage control. I mean, this could either be a very good dis/mis-information scheme, or a very, ver poor job at keeping future endeavors from being announced prematurely. I do, however, doubt that Apple would be running a disinformation scheme, especially since I don’t see how it would benefit them, unless the final product was far superior to the leaked version. Read on for the details.

iOS 6 Provides An Easier, One Tap AppStore Experience

As you probably have heard, Apple released iOS 6 and caused quite a hubbub on the internet. Their servers took a hit, no doubt. The update brings many changes that we outlined in a blog post here, but one that we didn’t mention was the  non-superficial changes to the AppStore.

In the past, browsing the AppStore has always been a horrendous experience for me. First, I would have to type my password in, even for free apps, or even updates. My fingers are incredibly damaged due to some unknown nerve damage, so typing on the iPhone is something I absolutely loathe. With iOS 6, Apple no longer requires users to input their password when they update apps.

Also, they no longer make users leave the AppStore, every time that they download an app, whether paid or free. The apps download in the background, providing a much more seamless experience.

Even more useful is the “Apple Apps” section on the AppStore where users can download Apple’s applications without a password or tapping multiple times. One button and you get all of Apple’s best free apps. As Mike Beasley of 9to5Mac reports, there is no mention of any paid apps. So, if you’re looking for an easy handful of Apple’s best, free apps, head over to the AppStore! Stay frosty, my friends.
