The Apple iPad has easily been the global king of tablets, controlling some three-fourths of the global market. But that's likely to change next month, as Amazon launches its first tablet -- the Kindle Fire.

Apple Inc.'s iPhone 4S, which was unveiled on Oct. 4, will be hitting the stores on Oct. 14. The smartphone from Apple is going to face a tight competition with Motorola Droid Bionic.

Apple's iOS 5 will be released on Wednesday, and the new iPhone operating system, with its 200 new features, is already being hailed as one of the biggest and best innovations in mobile technology to date. But, Apple is actually hurting Internet innovation and frustrating Web developers.

Apple Inc.'s iOS 5 operating system, which will power iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3rd generation, iPod touch 4th generation, iPad, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, is going live from Wednesday.

Service was briefly restored on Tuesday for a few hours, but then disrupted once again.

Plagued by a second day of service outages spanning four continents, Research In Motion's (RIM) management is facing a precarious time in the days ahead. In early September, investor and merchant bank Jaguar Financial released a statement saying it was raising support amongst BlackBerry partners for the sale of a portion of the company or some other method of maximizing shareholder value.

Barclays Capital said the pace of iPhone 4S roll-out is fastest in the iPhone's history and points to a big December quarter push for Apple Inc.

Apple's newest mobile Operating System, the iOS 5, launches Wednesday with an exhaustive list of 200-plus new features.

RIM said it had resolved its Blackberry outage late Monday, but Tuesday morning, millions of subscribers woke up to find service still disrupted. With problems like RIM's not happening with Apple's iPhone or Google's Android devices, it seems as if the Blackberry's popularity continues to plummet to the point where it will become close to completely stifled by its competition.

The battle between high-end smartphones is getting hotter by the day, with two most talked-about phones being Samsung Galaxy S2 and Apple iPhone 4S. Both the phones promise blazing performance but there still could be some differences between the two that could influence consumers when it comes to choosing one.

iPhone 4S came out a little over a year after iPhone 4. Will you wait until nearly 2013 for iPhone 5?

California-based tech giant, Apple Inc., received an overwhelming response from all around the world for the iPhone 4S. However, a host of Android-powered phones, sporting quad-core, 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz chipsets could spoil the Cupertino giant's party.

Apple's best ever product launch could wipe away the letdown many expressed at not having a radically redesigned iPhone 5.

Retailer J&R has already listed Samsung's Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus for preorder, according to its Web site. The 16GB version is being sold for $400 while the while the 32GB version is going for $500.

The launch of Samsung Nexus Prime, the latest smartphone based on Google's new version of the Android operating system Ice Cream Sandwich, will be delayed reportedly to pay respect to Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who passed away last week on Oct. 5.

While Samsung is still rolling out its Galaxy S2 in the U.S., details of the Galaxy S3 has been leaked to Phandroid, which received a snapshot of a slide allegedly within an internal presentation on smartphone evolution to carrier and retail representatives.

If you count the negatives, there are a lot of reasons why Apple iPhone 4S would look unappealing. The geeks have raised many complaints about the latest iteration of Apple iPhone.

Considering that one big rival of the iPhone 4S will be the Motorola Droid Bionic, it will be interesting to have a comparison of the features of the two competitors

Facebook released its long-awaited iPad app on Monday and introduced support for social games on the mobile versions of its online service.
