Why I'm skipping AirPlay

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Nov 23rd, 2010)

It's pretty simple: I want to stream music from my Mac to my iPad or iPhone. Why? Because I sometimes connect one of those iOS devices to a home stereo. Those devices do not contain my entire iTunes library. Unfortunately, AirPlay won't let me stream my iTunes library to my iOS devices. Thus, I'm ...

TUAW Poll: What's the name of OS X 10.7?

by Erica Sadun (Oct 13th, 2010)

Here at TUAW, we love possibilities. Yeah, we all know that Apple's new OS will be named something prosaic and big cat like OS X 10.7 Lion but until Apple actually makes its announcement, the waveform doesn't collapse. Possibilities still abound. TUAW spent this morning brainstorming alternatives ...

Tearing apart an old Apple TV just for the heck of it

by Steven Sande (Sep 9th, 2010)

My "love" for the original Apple TV is well-documented. I purchased a 40 GB model not long after the device hit the market, and found it not to my liking. I hated how I had to slowly sync everything to the device, it had little space to begin with (yeah, I know I should have just swapped out the HD ...

Has iPad addiction contributed to its growth?

by Keith M (Aug 2nd, 2010)

There's a short post over at the Business Insider about the author's view of the success of the iPad, based on how interested (e.g., addicted) his kids are in the device. It got me thinking -- is the fact that kids love the iPad a good measure of its success? Well, yes and no. In my gaming ...

Are you buying an iPad with Wi-Fi+3G?

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Apr 30th, 2010)

Today you fall into one of three camps: you're buying your first iPad and you waited for the 3G-enabled model, you're NOT buying an iPad today no matter what or you bought a Wi-Fi iPad only to cash it in and upgrade to the 3G edition. So which one are you? ...

Poll: Who's gonna keynote?

by Erica Sadun (Apr 7th, 2010)

Tomorrow, Apple will introduce its iPhone OS 4.0 roadmap. And we'll be there, metaliveblogging our hearts out as the events unroll. The big mystery tonight, at least here in TUAW-land, is who will give the speech. Is this going to be a big-time Steve Jobs keynote? Or can we expect Phil Schiller to ...

Poll: Why did you buy the iPad?

by Michael Grothaus (Apr 4th, 2010)

It's been a wild weekend with people lining up across the country to get the iPad. So many of you waited in line, forked out your cash, and went home and unboxed it. But, why did you buy it? Steve Jobs admits that the iPad is in a new device category all its own, and people are going to come to ...

Obvious: Apple fans who own Apple products can't wait to buy the iPad

by Mike Schramm (Mar 29th, 2010)

This is probably one for the obvious department, but we'll share it with you anyway. An NPD study released last week says that device awareness for the iPad is already very high (no duh), and that it's highest among 18-34 year old current Apple owners (double duh) with $100,000 or greater income. So ...

Four out of ten IT professionals would buy a tablet, but would you?

by Mike Schramm (Jan 25th, 2010)

Macworld is reporting that their partner Network World recently did a poll and came up with the figure of four out of ten Network World readers willing to buy a tablet on day one sight unseen. That's an interesting result (and it's not the only one seen along those lines), but I want to know what ...

by Steven Sande (Dec 13th, 2009)

POLL: Which industry should Steve reinvent next?

by Michael Grothaus (Dec 12th, 2009)

He showed the music suits, the Hollywood players, the mobile crowd, and the hand-held gaming giants how it's done. Next up? The publishing industry. But what after that? Steve Jobs loves planes, hates license plates, and has some strong opinions on education. If it were up to you, what industry ...
