Even though the iPhone 5 is quickly becoming the iPhone of choice these days, there are still plenty of good cases for the iPhone 4 and 4S -- including those with keyboards.

Yeah, so I'm in LA right now. That doesn't mean that I'm hitting the beaches, cruising the freeways, or surfing. No, I'm here with Bionic Barb (she's attending a conference), and basically I'm working on my TUAW writing and doing some edits on a book.

The Kickstarter got funded, and Stainless has now delivered on its promise, and released the title on Apple's App Store. The new version works pretty much the same...
A week before the expected launch of the much-rumored "iPad Mini," Apple has been granted the design patent for the original iPad. Filed a day before the initial announcement in 2010, the patent references older patents going back to the 1940s and lists Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive among the inventors.

This week, I'm in Los Angeles, Calif. While I can't guarantee that today's show will come from poolside (the hotel I'm staying at is really close to LAX and the airplane noise might be a bit loud), I can assure you that we'll have a chance to chat about our favorite fruit-flavored consumer electronics company today. And there's a...

Social media apps are like belly buttons: everyone has one, and with minor variations (innies versus outies) they pretty much look alike. That's why when the foiks from Lightt first approached me about their new social sharing app and service I approached it with a great deal of skepticism. But after using the app for a week, I'll...
The free Steam Mobile app for iOS has just received its obligatory iPhone 5 update, but the new version does more than simply take advantage of the smartphone's larger screen.
