The fact that the iPad never had its own built-in Clock app always seemed like a curious omission.

Apple had been saying delays would be 2-3 weeks, but obviously...

While you wait for your iPhone 5 to arrive, watch this unboxing video posted by an excited user in Germany. The user is reportedly a Vodafone carrier rep. In the video below, you can see him open the box, inspect the various contents and power the iPhone 5 on. Pretty exciting, no? He certainly thinks so. [Via Boy Genius Report]

The Satechi Swift BT Speaker is a surprisingly affordable little speaker (at just $29.99) that performs quite well. It's small and fairly stylish, and though its functions are about what you'd expect from a Bluetooth speaker, the Swift accomplishes them with an understated flair that I really appreciated. Setup is pretty standard...

But GDC has announced that this year is the last year it'll do GDC Online in Austin. Starting next year, the conference (which has mostly...
