Mailbox, an extraordinary new free app for effectively managing your inbox, is now available for downloading. Previously, you had to put your name on a waiting list, but now anyone can download the app.
The app has generated a huge amount of interest because it completely rethinks the way you can use your iPhone to manage the onslaught of email. You use simple gestures in list view to archive or delete emails, to "snooze" them for later viewing, or file them away in a "list," which is like a folder.
Images keep emerging on the Internet of alleged casings, or moulds for casings, of the next-generation 9.7-inch iPad. All of the evidence continues to suggest it will have narrower bezels on the sides like the iPad mini, allowing the device to be somewhat narrower without reducing screen size. And the evidence also suggests it will be thinner and lighter, possibly due to the implementation of an IGZO display.

It's astonishing how much interest there is in what Apple will do next, and how much we cling to every indication of gadgets in the pipeline. Yesterday the blogs were abuzz with a vague hint from Apple board member Bill Campbell. In an hour-long talk to his employees at Intuit, he talked briefly about future products. And while he gave the standard line of not being at liberty to discuss Apple's forthcoming products, he did say he expects "a lot of things going on with the application of technology to really intimate things." Of course, everyone is interpreting that to mean an iWatch or some other wearable device is on its way.
If you're in the market for an iPhone, one of the most important things to consider is which carrier to use. Each one has different price structures, coverage, functionality, etc. Fortunately, CNET has posted an article comparing the offerings of the four major carriers: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile.
It's hard to beat the prescience of market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who accurately predicted Apple's forthcoming iDevices and Macs last year. Now, according to AppleInsider, he's saying we will indeed be seeing an iPhone 5S with a fingerprint sensor, a low-cost iPhone with a plastic case, and an iPad mini with a higher-resolution screen. That's the good news. The bad news is that each of these technologies are causing the devices to be delayed.
How would you like to have a new iPhone 5 without having to pay any money up front? T-Mobile is now making just such an offer.
Many rumors have said the forthcoming fifth-generation iPad will have a form factor similar to the iPad mini, including narrower bezels on the left and right, such that the device can be smaller without sacrificing screen size. Think of it as an oversized iPad mini.
