Following our series of wallpapers for the third-generation iPad we’ve decided to turn our attention to Apple’s other retina display-equipped devices. To kick things off we’ve put together ten fantastic abstract wallpapers for the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and iPod touch.
As we previously reported, when Apple lowered the price of the iPad 2, they also added a smaller, more energy efficient A5 processor to the device. At the time it was thought that the new chip should offer improved better battery life, and this has now been confirmed.
In a press release issued by the company, Logitech has announced the launch of the Solar Keyboard Folio – a book-style folding case for the second and third-generation iPad, that has a built-in solar-powered keyboard.
While plenty of iOS apps cease to be updated or supported by companies after a period of time, I’ve never heard of one being expired before. That’s what EA are apparently doing with the original Rock Band for iPhone – owners of the game have been told that after the 31st of May it will no longer be playable on their device.
Apple’s new Senior Vice President of Retail, John Browett, has now been added to the executive bios page of the company’s website after his appointment was announced back in January.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is now just over one month away, and with it will come a second glimpse at the company’s next major software release, OS X Mountain Lion. It’s set to make its public debut this summer, and Apple is now encouraging developers to prepare their applications for one of its new features, Gatekeeper.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak loves his smartphones. He currently carries four around with him – two iPhone 4S’s (Verizon and AT&T versions), a Motorola DROID RAZR Android phone, and a Nokia Lumia 900 running Windows 7.5 Mango. While the iPhone remains his favourite, he’s a huge fan of the Windows Phone UI.
In a previous tip we explained how you can display messages at the bottom of the login screen in OS X Lion. While it’s a handy feature, the resulting messages are quite easy to miss. Thankfully though, another little-known feature allows you to display a login window banner, which users have to acknowledge before proceeding.
