Apple Planning $200-$250 7-Inch iPad For October Release
Today we come across new information that Apple will actually release a 7-inch version of the its popular iPad table computer in October 2012. Apparently the new smaller version will be identical to its current version, will feature a Retina display, and will be priced at 200-250 USD.
“Apple will be going forward with the 7-inch iPad, currently targeting an October 2012 release alongside the new iPhone, and — here’s the killer — at a $200 to $250 price point. According to our source, which has proven reliable in the past, the reason for such aggressive pricing is to do to the tablet market what Apple did to the MP3 market in 2004 with the expansion of the iPod product line — leave absolutely no space for competitors.”
We have absolutely no doubt, that a 7-inch iPad will be a hit on the market. Now, let’s just hope it becomes reality. This latest report sounds to be pretty sure. (Via iMore)

AT&T to begin unlocking iPhones this Sunday
AT&T plans to soon begin unlocking iPhones for customers with accounts in good standing who request that their devices be unlocked. Unlocking a handset allows the device to operate on any GSM network rather than just the network for which it was purchased, and AT&T does not currently provide customers customers with unlock codes for Apple’s iPhone. Engadget reported on Friday that the carrier was planning to amend its policy beginning this Sunday, and BGR was able to confirm the news with an AT&T spokesperson. ”Beginning Sunday, April 8, we will offer qualifying customers the ability to unlock their AT&T iPhones,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “The only requirements are that a customer’s account must be in good standing, their device cannot be associated with a current and active term commitment on an AT&T customer account, and they need to have fulfilled their contract term, upgraded under one of our upgrade policies or paid an early termination fee.”

Instagram Reaches 27 Million Registered Users – Android App is on the Way
Instagram, the whimsical photo-sharing app that combines some of the best aspects of social media platforms Twitter and Tumblr, has cleared the 27 million user mark. More interesting about this figure, is that over 67% of those users are still active, having used the app within the last 24 hours. Instagram’s Co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger revealed at SXSW that now that they’ve scaled enough to meet the needs of iPhone users, an Android app isn’t too far from release, opening up the platform to an entirely new user base. Kreiger hints that in some ways, the Android version is even better than its iPhone counterpart. An official launch date has yet to be revealed, but like most announcements of this nature in the tech world, it shouldn’t be too far off.

Akai MPC Fly for iPad 2
As the technology landscape continues to change on a daily basis, it seems that new and innovative devices pose either a potential demise or an opportunity for software and electronics companies alike. Adapting its brand positioning to the changing climate, Akai debuts its MPC Fly for the iPad 2. Combining 16 backlit MPC pads into its built-in iPad 2 case, the MPC Fly is completed with an integrated iOS app that boasts an array of effects, a four-track mixer, sound library, sample editing and an EQ. Weighing in at just over two pounds, the MPC Fly – although not the most convenient iPad case – packs a lot of punch within its relatively small size.

iPhone 5 concept render designed – dubbed “iPhone SJ”
In tribute to Steve Jobs and in vain hope that his concepts might get picked up on by someone more influential than a professional blogger, Antonia De Rosa of ADR Studios has designed yet another concept. His previous two, the iCam camera attachment for iPhone and the TV control/tablet were not particularly practical. However, this iPhone concept really caught my attention.

Apple to launch completely redesigned iPhone in Fall 2012
BGR has learned a number of details surrounding Apple’s next-generation iPhone from a close source. For starters, we can now confidently say that Apple’s next iPhone will launch in the fall next year, around the same time that this year’s iPhone 4S launched. We have also learned that Apple is planning to use a rubber or plastic material — similar to the material used in the company’s bumper cases — that will be built into the new iPhone case. In all likelihood, this material will be used as a bezel surrounding the front edge of the phone (like the iPhone 3GS bezel) and it will serve two purposes. First, it will join the glass iPhone face with a new aluminum back plate. It will also cover a redesigned antenna system that surrounds the device, allowing Apple to build the rear case out of aluminum without having to use a large plastic insert above the antennas as the company does on its iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Earlier reports suggested that Apple’s next-generation iPhone will feature an aluminum case similar to the one found on the iPad 2, as well as a larger display around 4 inches.
