Yesterday we posted that Best Buy was offering the third generation at rock bottom clearance prices. That deal is still going on and you can snag a third generation 16GB Wi-Fi iPad for just $315 or a 32GB iPad for $385. That’s a major deal since the lowest price you can get for a 16GB mini from Apple is $379, in the refurbished section of its online store.
You can only snag one of Best Buy’s discounted iPads in-store, and some stores don’t have many in stock, but if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to purchase a shiny new Apple iPad at an amazing price.
When Microsoft first announced that it would be launching its own tablet, many speculated that the company was planning on a tablet/laptop hybrid. In Apple’s second quarter earnings call in April of 2012, CEO Tim Cook said a hybrid is a bad idea. When asked about a Windows 8 tablet/laptop hybrid, Cook said, “You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user.” He was basically saying that the merging of two devices does not necessarily produce a third device that is better than its two parts.
Patently Apple has just discovered an interesting patent that proves the company is thinking the exact opposite of Cook’s sentiments a year ago. Read More »
Since October of 2011, iPhone-to-iPhone users have been able to send iMessage chats to each other without it affecting their text messaging limits. Apple widened iMessage’s abilities by making it available on the iPad, and later on Mac computers.
Currently, users can send and receive encrypted messages to each other through a wide variety of iMessage options. This is great for consumers, but a real pain for the FBI.

According to Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi, Apple approaches marketing of the iPhone significantly different than it does the iPad. Thanks to stronger distribution and more competitive pricing, the iPad will likely always outperform its cellular cousin for market share dominance.

Back in 2011, patent holding company Lodsys began suing iOS developers that used in-app purchases, claiming patent infringement. Though Apple stepped in to defend devs, Lodsys pursued settlement fees, receiving payouts from more than 150 companies.
After an October update stating that the U.S. Patent and Trademark office had upheld its claim to the in-app purchase patent, Lodsys went relatively quiet, until yesterday, when it filed a lawsuit against Disney and several other high profile developers.
