This morning I noticed some tweets about the new version of Instagram being released and really didn’t think too much of it. But when I read into it a bit more, especially that there was a new “Lux” feature and “Sierra” filter I just had to download Version 2.1 to try it out. Not only were there two new features but the UI has changed too!

This is what I believe differentiates Apple from all the other smartphone manufacturers: they design their own hardware, operating system and software which together, delivers a complete enriching user experience.

What kind of gadget site would this be without a blog post on the upcoming iPad 3? To make it easy for our readers, we thought we’d scour the web for all the latest rumors and put them all here for one quick easy reference. As mentioned this is a list of rumors – with Apple being Apple, the cat doesn’t really get let out of the bag until announcement day or when they “accidentally” leave test iPhones in bars where news-hungry tech bloggers happen to congregate…
