iTunes App Store gets Quick App Preview feature

Posted: 14 Jan 2012 11:01 AM PST

Browsing for apps to add to your collection via iTunes has gotten easier thanks to the new quick app preview feature. Previously, users would have no choice but to navigate to each individual app page to find out more about the app. But with the newly implemented quick preview popup box, iOS users can now view the Description, What’s New and Screens shots without leaving the current page. Whenever you hover above any app icon throughout the App Store with a mouse/touchpad, an “i” info icon will appear on its bottom right corner. Click on that and you can easily glance at the app details, and even make the purchase right from within. Give it a try yourself. After a short while, you’ll probably be making extensive use of this neat little feature and not have to rely so much on that back button.

iPad 3 to release in March with Retina Display, Quad-core process and LTE

Posted: 14 Jan 2012 09:30 AM PST

According to a report by Bloomberg, production for the iPad 3 has already begun and will be ready for a March launch date. The third gen iPad will also sport a quad-core chip, the long rumoured Retina Display and have support for LTE.

Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s next iPad, expected to go on sale in March, will sport a high-definition screen, run a faster processor and work with next-generation wireless networks, according to three people familiar with the product.

While the quad-core processor and retina display should not come as surprises for the iPad 3, the fact that the upcoming tablet will be compatible with the much faster LTE network before its iPhone counterpart is somewhat surprising. Bloomberg’s sources explain that the iPad “has a bigger battery and can better support the power requirements of the newer technology”. Of course, that’s not to say that the iPhone 5 won’t be compatible with LTE when it does release later this year.
