The devices that run the world’s most advanced mobile operating system

Check out our top stories on iOS Devices:

iOS devices refer to any of Apple’s hardware that runs the iOS mobile operating system which include iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Historically, Apple releases a new iOS version once a year, the current version is iOS 10. Here is the complete list of iOS 10 compatible devices.

WebOS Netbooks coming soon from HP

WebOS keeps climbing up the corporate ladder at HP, it seems.  First it was (obviously) smartphones then HP alluded to killing the Microsoft Slate and building a webOS tablet.  Then webOS printers started becoming interesting.

Now, from the ‘HP buys Palm’ closing statement we learn that HP plans some (MacBook Air competing?) Netbooks with the WebOS running behind the scenes.  You ever get the feeling that HP might be a little sick of Microsoft after all of these years?

Palm will be responsible for webOS software development and webOS based hardware products, from a robust smartphone roadmap to future slate PCs and netbooks.

We’re waiting to hear next about webOS calculators and Blade servers in the coming months.

 

Cisco Cius Android Tablet debuts

I can’t help but think of the opportunity lost by Apple not including a camera on the iPad.  Cisco unveiled its Enterprise Android Tablet, called Cius, today.  We’ll withhold judgement until we see one, but have a feeling that corporate IT is going to be pushing these down people’s throats rather than thinking outside of the box and buying iPads.

The usage case seems pretty interesting, but again, it is all about the execution.

App Store will no longer support iOS 2.X apps

Today, Apple announced on their iOS Developer blog that apps targeting to iOS 2.x will no longer be supported. This is no surprise as we are already at iOS 4. Developers are encouraged to re-build their apps in Xcode and set the target to iOS 3.x or later so they will not run into submission or app removal issues.  

Apple also recommends that developers review the iOS 4 Readiness Checklist in order to take full advantage of the bevy of new technologies and API’s available in the latest iOS release. 

iOS 4 is now available as a free update for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod touch. iOS 4 only runs to its full potential, with multitasking, on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and the 3rd generation iPod touch. 

Confirmed: Hulu coming soon to iOS Devices for $10 a month

The rumored Hulu Plus service just became official and its goal is to open up Hulu to many more devices. Hulu announced their service will soon be coming to Game consoles and blu-ray players, but more importantly it will be coming to Apple’s latest iOS devices.

Hulu will soon make its way to iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the 3rd generation iPod touch. iPhones and iPod touches will need to be running iOS 4 and users wishing to get in on the action early can request an early preview here.

An interesting note is users will be able to stream Hulu to their devices over WiFi or 3G; this will be incredible for iPad 3G users on the go.

Even more Pages for iPhone/iPod screenshots…

Apple is working to bring Pages to the iPhone, as claimed in this fresh collection of blurry beta test images from our tipster. (More pics after the jump).

Making the app available across its family of devices clearly makes a lot of sense for the company.

After all, if you think about it, while iWork may orginally have been introduced as an alternative to Microsoft Office, Google’s actions since that point and the movement of the industry into the cloud predicate an available everywhere model for Apple’s creative apps.

Me? I’d like to see Logic Mobile, GarageBand Express and Final Cut Mobo make it to the iPhone. One day they will, after all, so why not now?
