The iPhone/PSP version of the popular console franchise has made the step up to become an HD app for the iPad.  The game will not change drastically in terms of gameplay according to Rockstar, who say it will still have multi-touch controls, variable difficulty levels and the iTunes driven Independant Radio station too.
The change will [...]

Most of you may be well aware of the fact stated in this post’s title – but I get asked this a lot and see lots of people talking about how it’s not possible to print from the iPad. 

So I thought I’d do a quick post to confirm that yes, you absolutely can print from the iPad – and in fact if you have the right type of printer and a decent app, wireless printing from the iPad works very well.

I’m no expert on this subject (yet) but I’ve been giving it a go at home with a couple of wireless printers – and finding that it’s quite easy if your setup is right.

Ars Technicahas confirmed that the newApple TVsoftware and features won’t be coming to the old Apple TV.

We confirmed with an Apple spokesperson that the maximum HD resolution of the Apple TV is 720p, consistent with recent rumors. Additionally, there will be no software update to bring the new features to older Apple TVs. Older Apple TVs will continue to work as they have been working up to this point, and they will continue to be able to purchase movies and TV shows even though the new Apple TV is rental-only.

Though it stands to reason, given that the old Apple TV runs a variation of OS X (Tiger?) on Intel and the new one runs a variation of iOS (4.x?) on Apple A4, and Apple probably doesn’t want to devote any resources to making a distinct update to a now dead system, those expecting TV rentals and Netflix support will no doubt be unhappy.

However, those who preferred to be able to sync and buy their media on-device won’t be shedding any tears, or trying to avoid any updates that take those features away.

Which side are you on? And does this change anyone’s mind about updating?

Back in June I posted about taking out warranty coverage for my first iPad with Squaretrade.  Among my top reasons for doing so were:

I’m very impressed with the ‘extra mile’ warranty coverage offered by SquareTrade ever since I first heard details on the company and its offerings.  The very short story is that for iPad and iPhone users, they cover all the major accidental damage sort of things that Apple doesn’t, and at very attractive prices.

I remain impressed and yesterday I grabbed a SquareTrade warranty for my new iPad 3G.  In the UK there used to be a great TV ad campaign for Heineken with the strapline ‘Refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach’.  For me, SquareTrade does the seem with iPad and iPhone warranty coverage – and I feel better now that my new baby is covered.  If you’re interested in extra cover for your iPad, check out what SquareTrade offers here:

Disclosure: We run affiliate ads on our sidebar for SquareTrade. We do so because I honestly think they offer the best ‘Covers the parts Apple Won’t’ sort of cover for the iPhone and iPad that I’ve come across anywhere.

Dieter’s at the IFA show in Berlin, Germany and he’s scored us a first look at mophie’s upcoming juice pack air for iPhone 4. It’s got soft touch paint and they claim ZERO signal degredation because the entire PCB board is on the bottom, so there are no electronics around the antenna. It’s shipping to Apple now and will be available in “Nationwide retailers” next week for $79.95.

Mophie Juice Pack air for iPhone 4 comes in black, white, red, and green and “virtually doubles your power”. 6 hours talk time, 5 hours internet 3G, and 9 hours on wifi courtesy of a 1500mAh battery. It also sports pass-through USB for power, iTunes sync, and can be switched off when not in use.

What Dieter saw was prototype hardware, but felt very thin and good to him, especially the soft touch finish.

Also being shown off was the juice pack power station, which sports 2.1 Amp output so it can power an iPad. This one rates 3600 mAh and has a USB cable included to charge it. And the Marketplace, which we saw an early version of back at Macworld, is now ramped up with Intuit GoPayment and is available now for $179.95 plus GoPayment service.

Hands-on photos after the break!
