It has been our tradition to compare prices of Apple products in various Asia-Pacific countries in order to determine the country that offers the cheapest iPhone or iPad. We’ll do the same today — this time, for the iPad Mini which was recently launched by Apple in several countries in the past weeks.
We compared the prices of the iPad Mini in 12 countries, and we discovered that the cheapest iPad Mini in Asia-Pacific is being sold in…
Steve Jobs, the legendary icon behind Apple Inc., is dead.
The company announced today that Steve Jobs has passed away after years of battling cancer.
In 2004, Jobs announced that he has been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his pancreas and in 2009, he was forced to get a liver transplant. After several years of failing health, Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple Inc. on August 24, 2011.
Search engine giant Google recently announced it is purchasing Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc., the former Mobile Devices Division of Motorola, for $12.5 billion. According to Google, the move was meant to protect its Android operating software from intellectual property lawsuits.

Apple Inc., maker of the iconic iPod and iPad, has more available cash than the United States government.
As of June 25, 2011, Apple boasts of cash reserves totaling $75.876 billion.

But Apple seems bent on dominating that market further. Less than a year after the first Apple iPad was released, here comes a thinner, lighter and superbly faster upgrade: the Apple iPad 2.
Some of you don’t know it yet, but Apple Inc. (AAPL) is already the largest tech company in the United States. Actually, it has been the largest tech company since May 2010, when it surpassed Microsoft Corporation’s market capitalization for the first time.
I’ve said it before: I want a touchscreen tablet PC for Christmas.
A few weeks ago, I was this close to buying an Apple iPad after comparing the three most popular touchscreen tablet PCs: the Apple iPad, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and the Toshiba Folio 100.
The Toshiba Folio is not in the Philippines yet so it’s out of the picture. I’ve seen the Samsung Galaxy Tab and, although it looks uber-cool and super-sleek, I don’t like it’s small display screen.
