Best iPad Converter for iPad users to convert any video format to iPad

2011-08-19T10:15:00.000-07:00

Is iPad still the dominant tablet on the market? The answer is, absolutely, yes. During the second quarter of 2011, around 75% of tablets shipped worldwide were iPads and 20% were Android, according to ABI research. Although there is much room for the expansion of the tablets market, it is still hard to change the current situation in which Apple is the leader of this industry, with iPad continuing to gain popularity among tablet customers. However, iPad itself has disadvantages and limitations. For instance, it does not support flash videos and most of the video formats such as MPG, MPEG, MPEG 2, RMVB, AVI etc. Thus, Aiseesoft has created the Best iPad Converter for iPad users to convert any video format to iPad compatible formats.

Apple iPhone is NOT storing your accurate location, and NOT storing history

2011-04-25T19:59:00.001-07:00

There's been loads of hype and hooplah recently surrounding the discovery that Apple iPhone devices have been secretly recording location data of users, building a spatial index of location data where the user has been.
From Peter...

"The quick summary: I believe I have confirmed that Apple is not storing your location, but the (actual or estimated) location of cell towers (and WiFi access points) that are close to you, to help locate you as you move (these are not necessarily towers that you have been in communication with)."
