It's worth noting that ... more

OK. So the world’s worst kept secret in technology has finally been revealed — iCloud is set to appear at this year’s WWDC.

Apple expects to see an extra billion and a half dollars in revenue thanks to the iPad's underestimated popularity (underestimated as in an extra 3 billion units than was originally predicted). It is hard to ... more
