This special incarnation of Photoshop is not nearly as powerful as the desktop versions, but it still allows for multi-layer editing in ways never seen before; using your fingers to create intricate designs and edit images is also possible. Adobe Photoshop Touch will cost you $9.99, on the App Store. Adobe press release can be seen after the break. Via: LifeHacker
Very unusual but expected at some point — Office for iPad, that is. A suite of Word, Excel, and Powerpoint apps (and then some), all optimized for iOS and the iPad’s screen. You could create and edit files in all of the apps aforementioned. The Daily got a working prototype of the app and they seem pretty happy with it (or something). That all being said, neither screenshots or a release date have been documented, so we’ll leave it at that.
Update: Now the app’s credibility is being questioned.
This is — unexpected, much like the things that happened to me today. But no matter! Apple has renamed “Mac OS X” to “OS X” and then has released a new version of said operating system, dubbed OS X 10.8 “Mountain Lion”. Mostly all of the new features are borrowed from iOS: that includes apps like Messages, iCloud, the Notification Center, Reminders, Twitter, Airplay Mirroring, Notes, the Game Center, and Gatekeeper which keeps malicious programs out of sight — all the while looks like iOS as much as possible.
OS X Mountain Lion will come out this Summer. Via: Gizmodo
This is some interesting stuff. With a March 7th (or February 29th) announcement date in the pipeline for the iPad 3, the Wall Street Journal has used the venerable “people familiar with the matter” to state that the iPad 3 will receive AT&T and Verizon 4G LTE networking, and when 4G is not around, will downgrade to an older networking technology (i.e. HSPA+. 3G or 2G). Other purported specs include a 2048×1536 Retina display, a quad-core Apple A6 system-on-a-chip (we think it will be a dual-core), and an updated form of iOS.
We will know all the outcome in due time of course, but still, the speculation is exciting. Via: WSJ, iMore
This is the world’s first PC game, DONKEY.BAS, co-written by Bill Gates and former Microsoft employee Neil Konzen. The objective is simple: there’s 8-bit sounds, graphics, and the idea that you have to dodge donkeys while switching lanes in a car. However, this game was shipped pre-installed on PC-DOS and the original IBM PC, but in 2012 you’ll have to pay developer XVision a small $0.99 for the universal iOS remake on the App Store.

Once again, renowned tech site All Things D is making a very bold prediction seemingly backed by insider sources: the iPad 3 will be announced by Apple at a press event in early March (specifically in the first week, then launched in the 2nd or 3rd week), which is not too far away. It would have a faster processor, Retina display, and nearly the same design as the iPad 2. We shall see. Via: All Things D

Apple holding a press event in New York City? You don’t hear about that often. There will be a focus on education, since it is dubbed the “education event”. It will take place at the Guggenheim Museum on January 19th starting at 10:00AM EST, and I’ll be bringing updates as the event moves along.
