Well, what is the whole point of having a particular piece of software or app if it were not to receive updates along the way to be better and more efficient? Good to know that Redbox has already introduced a new update for […]

07/09/2013, At the moment there are several car manufacturers who support Apple’s iOS devices to be plugged into their vehicles, although during Apple’s WWDC this year in June, the Cupertino company announced the iOS in the Car feature which was basically an extension of Siri Eyes Free, and thanks to Hamza Sood, it looks like the feature could extend even to AirPlay in vehicles, assuming that the manufacturer offers its support […]

09/24/2012, With the introduction of the new Lightning connector for iOS devices, Apple pretty much rendered a ton of iOS accessories useless. Granted you could always buy the Lightning adapter, but this is additional money spent that many people probably think is unnecessary, but we guess change has to happen at some point or another. Either way if you’re looking to pick up some iOS compatible speakers, you might be interested […]

08/29/2012, While Apple’s AirPlay feature lets users stream music from their devices onto AirPlay compatible speakers, it also means that both your device and the AirPlay speakers need to be hooked onto the same WiFi network.

Similar to […]
