From Friday, The Guardian will begin charging its 280,000 active iPad users £9.99 a month to use its iPad app. It is going to be a big moment for the Guardian, a test of paid content, while it continues to maintain a rich free website.

Since its launch in October The Guardian iPad has been free, by way of a sponsorship deal with Channel 4, but now those three months of free access are up the question is how many of those readers will pay? Read More »

New ad for Samsung Galaxy S II shows urban scene kids with delusions of creative greatness (who are actually baristas, apparently) queuing for the latest iPhone. It goes on to show people outside the queue who already have a great phone with 4G and a big, bright screen. Read More »

Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition hands on review

If Apple is planning an iPad Mini for 2012, then Motorola has beaten it to the punch with its Xoom 2 Media Edition, a pint-sized little brother to the 10.1in Xoom 2 (read our Xoom 2 hands on review). But how will the 8.2in Xoom 2 Media Edition, ahem, measure up when it’s staring down the likes of Samsung’s is-it-a-phone-is-it-a-tablet Galaxy Note? Read More »

AllthingsD reports that rumours Apple will launch the new version of its iPhone, the iPhone 5 in October, and not September as is being widely reported.

The September rumour sparked a wave of blog posts and seemed to be largely based on what an AT&T employee had said regarding holidays being cancelled for the last two weeks of September due to an “event blackout”. Read More »

How many people do you know that use an Apple iPhone, an iPad or iTouch? Probably quite a few. Figures estimate that there are now 130 million users of the Apple iOS platform (15 million iPads alone) that powers all these formats.

In a leaked memo sent to staff at Nokia, CEO Stephen Elop has said that after two years it is “unbelievable” that the once leader in the mobile phone market does not have an answer to Apple’s iPhone.

I like this, but when I looked for myself I wasn’t there. That’s sort of distressing. I think I’m a bit of a fanboy (just a girl), but not quite full on Apple t-shirt wearing, Steve Jobs worshipping and forum posting type.

The Dallas Morning News is planning to join the band of newspapers erecting paywalls in 2011, but will ensure that its site remains open to social media with blogs and some other content remaining free to access and share on Twitter and Facebook. Read More »

This is spot on. Scarily so. As a dedicated iPhone user, of course, I see myself as slightly cooler and more hip that those struggling with their Blackberrys. I’m sorry, but no amount of cool looking ads with dance music will make Blackberry’s cool.
