The new Maps application that’s coming in iOS 6 will integrate with Yelp, allowing people to check into the service automatically from within the Maps app.
Users will be able to check in to Yelp without leaving the current map and without needing to log into the dedicated Yelp app, according to screenshots of Yelp check-ins from the SDK that was given to developers earlier this month.
Following in the footsteps of other NFL teams, players for the Miami Dolphins will each be receiving an iPad to use as a digital playbook. The new iPads will save paper and make traveling easier, but players won’t be able to install personal apps.
Any usage of the iPad that is unsuitable to the team will result in a hefty $10,000 fine, and those uses include YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and anything else that might involve subject matter that is explicit in nature.
While many players don’t spend a lot of time on social networking, Miami Dolphins new addition Chad Ochocinco maintains a Twitter account with 3.5 million followers.
Greg Friedland wasn’t happy with his plain white walls, and regular photographs or paintings just weren’t going to do the job.
Instead, this artsy engineer decorated a wall in his house with a giant four-foot-by-eight-foot LED powered display called the Aurora LED, which is controlled with his iPad.

Apple may have dropped Google Maps in its own Maps application, but that doesn’t mean Google is giving up on iOS.

During Apple’s keynote address at the Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month, the Cupertino-based company announced that it would no longer be using Google Maps as part of its Maps Application when iOS 6 is released later this year.
