Game about hacking the world with phones includes second-player tablet co-op Posted: 11 Jun 2013 12:19 AM PDT Watch Dogs got a bit more love at E3 this year, showcasing a great mix of stealth, shooting action and gadget-savvy gameplay for next-gen consoles. The game involves using a phone to hack into various techno-doohickeys in the world in order to exert a personal brand of vigilante justice. As you might expect, a game about changing the world through your phone also has a proper mobile side game. In the middle of a mission on the console you can call for help, which will search for available mobile players. The Watch Dogs game for iPad allows players to join in as support to their buddy by hacking into various security systems a high city overview view. Though the app will be able to provide a lot of preparation and support for missions, according to one pre-show interview it can also allow you to see what your friends are doing in real-time in a highly detailed virtual Chicago - and potentially screw with their progress, if one were feeling so inclined. A lot of the gameplay sequences, namely where you help others by looking at them through a security camera and issuing commands, reminds me a lot of République, a Kickstarter project that's still a work in progress. Still, the heavy role mobile plays in a game like this makes it naturally appealing to a lot of us phone geeks. Check out the quick glimpse of mobile partnerships in Watch Dogs at 1:47:51ish from Sony's E3 press conference below, or check out the Watch Dogs page for more game info.

Tablet-enabled Commander Mode introduced for Battlefield 4 Posted: 10 Jun 2013 11:27 PM PDT Another mobile tie-in found its way into one of the big E3 press conferences today. EA was showing off Commander Mode for the upcoming Battlefield 4 first-person shooter game. Players in the commander role get a top-down view of a battle, and can deliver orders, drop supplies, and launch artillery support by way of airborne gunships or long-range missiles. The structure here is vaguely reminiscent of what Tom Clancy's Division is doing, though as a commander, I imagine it's much harder to drop in and out since the team needs to be able to rely on consistent support in order to succeed. In any case, the Battlefield franchise already provides an extensive presence on iOS by way of their Battlelog social network and game tracking service. If you're liking the looks of Battlefield 4, you should definitely scope out the full live gameplay demo that was shown off here at EA's press conference, along with a bunch of other awesome titles. Check out everything else BF4 has to offer over here.

WWDC 2013 and iOS 7: What we didn't get Posted: 10 Jun 2013 06:59 PM PDT WWDC 2013 brought with it this year a dizzying number of changes from new MacBook Airs to OS X Mavericks and more. Undoubtedly, the largest announcement was iOS 7 which brings with it an all new flattened interface, lots of new features, and improvements upon older ones. We talked about all our iOS 7 wants over the past several months. You guys gave your feedback too. Now that we know what iOS 7 brings to the table, let's take a look at what we wanted, but didn't get this time around. As always, iOS 7 is in its infancy stages so it's important to remember that lots of stuff can and probably will change before the final release. For now, we'll just gauge off what we know so far. Actionable notifications One of the biggest items on our bucket list for years now has been better control over notifications. As of iOS 6, the only way to interact with a notification is to either dismiss it or open it. Unfortunately, it looks like not too much of this has changed in iOS 7 either. The biggest request when it comes to actionable notifications in iOS has got to be quick reply for messaging. Instead of having to dismiss a text message or launch into the actual messaging app, a way to reply without disrupting what you are doing would be an ideal solution. It's also one that apps like BiteSMS has been able to solve for years. The Mac got it in Mavericks this time around, why not iOS? Actionable notifications would also come in handy for things like calendar appointments, alarms, and more. As far as we can see, iOS 7 still uses a lot of the same notification schemes that its older sibling, iOS 6 uses, and that's a shame. Control Center may give us quicker access to common toggles the way SBSettings has for years, but it still doesn't allow us to interact with incoming notifications any better as they happen. Better email attachment handling Managing email attachments in iOS has always been painful. Actually, if you want to be bluntly honest, there is no way to feasibly manage attachments in iOS and it doesn't look like iOS 7 will be changing that. The same options for inserting a photo or video still appear but when it comes to saving attachments or managing them any better, you'll still need an external third party app in order to do any kind of saving and organizing. I did however notice in the first build that when you go to edit email attachments in iOS 7, there is a section that appears for attachments. I can't yet figure out how to use it, or the functionality just isn't there quite yet. Either way, there's no new options at this point and it's unclear how Apple plans to allow us to use the cryptic Attachments section in Mail. Files.app or some kind of document management system There has never been a way in iOS to natively handle documents. Sure iWork and other third party apps can readily handle documents and are more than up for the task but why can't I have a centralized location in order to store all my documents? We have a Photos app in order to better manage and organize photos, it's about time we got the same for documents and other kinds of files. There are numerous times that I simply forget what program I was working on a document in, or where I saved it. I then have to sift through iBooks, Pages, Dropbox, and Evernote to figure out where I decided to save that PDF someone sent me. Instead, I want to go to one centralized location where all my files are housed, launch a share sheet, and choose what app I want to open that document in or how I want to share it. Safari download manager When you download a file through mobile Safari, whether that's an image or a PDF, you're forced to choose what app you want to open it with. That means for photos you'll need to save it to your camera roll and for PDFs, you'll be forced to leave Safari and open it in iBooks or another comparable program. A downloads manager would allow downloading files not to interfere with what you're doing. Photos don't necessarily interfere but to make sure it downloaded, I do have to leave the browser in order to enter Photos.app and make sure the image actually saved. There has been several occasions where I've just trusted the save to camera roll feature only to find later on that the image never actually downloaded. A downloads manager within Safari would solve this problem and allow you a way to quickly access all your downloads in one place at the same time. That means those photos you downloaded or the PDFs that you don't remember what app you've opened them in would all be accessible and findable in one location. Mutable sounds while in a call The most irritating thing in existence is when you're on a phone call and text messages, emails, and other notifications continue to sound off in your ear. Not only does it not make sense for your ear to vibrate, it's very distracting when you're on important calls. Can I at least have the option to finally disable this annoying behavior in Settings? As far as I'm aware, there is no setting I can find in iOS 7 and while on calls, I'm still facing the same annoying vibrations and notifications while on a call. What did you want? While we got a lot of things in iOS 7 that we did want, we know a lot of customer wants were still left out. These are the things we really wanted to see make an appearance that didn't make the cut. Is there anything you really wanted to see that you also didn't see any sign of during the iOS 7 announcement? Sound off in the comments below! If you missed any of today's event, make sure you check out all our WWDC 2013 coverage for more news about iOS 7, OS X Mavericks, and more!

Tom Clancy's The Division to let mobile players get in on post-apocalyptic console action Posted: 10 Jun 2013 05:05 PM PDT One of the many games making their debut at E3 is one by Ubisoft called Tom Clancy's The Division. Players work their way through a New York ravaged by plague, trying to stay alive and bring back some semblance of order to the chaos. In a lot of ways, it's a standard duck-and-cover action game with lots of gadgets, skills, progression, and persistent open world player-versus-player, but what's really interesting to us is the mobile element. Players on unnamed tablets will be able to join in the fun as a drone, offering tactical support by way of surveillance, healing, and providing other bonuses. You can still get shot at, even though you're in the air, so watch out. This is a great way to drop in and out of a game no matter where you've got some time to spare; fast forward to 3:54 in the video below to see what this kind of gameplay is going to look like. I gotta say, I'm really excited for this type of marriage between console and mobile gaming. It applies very much to one of our Talk Mobile topics about the displacement of console versus mobile; clearly there's a very sensible, fun way for the two to coexist and complement one another, and it's looking like more games from E3 this year will be following this theme. Tomorrow the show floor opens and I'll be making a bee-line to the Ubisoft booth to check this out. In the meantime, check out The Division's page for more info.

Comparing Apple's old and new MacBook Air models Posted: 10 Jun 2013 04:34 PM PDT Apple introduced new MacBook Airs at WWDC today. The new MacBooks Air are faster, more power efficient, and in some cases, cheaper than their predecessors. And they're shipping now, so if you've been waiting to get one, now's the time. It's been a year since Apple refreshed the MacBook Air, so Apple's smallest and lightest laptop was certainly due for some improvements. The new systems still come in the familiar 11 and 13-inch form factors, with 1366 x 768 and 1440 x 900 pixel resolutions respectively. That's unchanged from last year, and bound to disappoint some forward-thinking Mac users who were hoping to see a Retina Display-equipped MacBook Pro join the ranks. Weight and dimensions remains virtually unchanged: the 11-inch MacBook Air weighs a scant 2.38 pounds, measuring 0.11 x 11.8 x 7.56 inches when the lid is closed. The 13-inch model still weighs 2.96 pounds, measuring 0.11 x 12.8 x 8.94 inches. Despite the same display resolutions, same sizes and same weights, under the hood there are a lot of differences. The new MacBook Airs are the first Mac models to use Intel's fourth generation Core processor - the chips known as "Haswell." The new MBAs have lower CPU clock speeds than their predecessors - 1.3 GHz across the board, compared to 1.7 GHz for the 2012 11-inch and 1.8 GHz for the 2012 13-inch - but they also feature Intel HD Graphics 5000, an integrated graphics processor that Apple says is up to 40 percent faster than what was in last year's model. All of the new MacBook Airs come equipped with 4GB of RAM standard (configurable to 8GB), and the base 11-inch model now doubles storage capacity from 64GB to 128GB. The higher-end 11-inch also doubles capacity from 128GB to 256GB. 13-inch models remain unchanged, with 128GB and 256GB as standard issue for the low and high-end, respectively. Haswell processors also introduce dramatically improved power management. This is one area where MacBook Air owners are going to see huge improvements: Apple estimated the battery run-time of the 2012 11-inch model at up to five hours, and that jumps up to nine hours for the new one. The 13-inch, which packs more battery capacity inside its larger case, jumps from nine hours to 12. Other accouterments remain unchanged, for the most part - stereo speakers, FaceTime HD cameras, two USB 3.0 ports, headphone jack and MagSafe 2 adapter; one Thunderbolt port (and yes, it's the original Thunderbolt, not the Thunderbolt 2 that will be featured on the Mac Pro later this year). There's one other modest change: all MacBook Airs now come equipped with dual microphones, a carryover first introduced on the MacBook Pros with Retina Display. Dual mics produce better sound quality for voice chats via Skype, Messages, FaceTime and other services. The price of the base 11-inch model remains unchanged from last year: $999. The higher-end 11-inch model jumps up $100, however, from $1099 to $1199 (likely explained by the double SSD capacity). There's better news for 13-inch buyers - both machines see a $100 price drop, to $1099 and $1299 respectively. All told, a solid enhancement to Apple's popular lightweight laptops. Apple took the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach while incorporating solid enhancements that promise better performance and better power management - always welcome news for road warriors who depend on the nimble MacBook Air to get their work done.

Crazy iPad Numbers from the WWDC 2013 Keynote Posted: 10 Jun 2013 02:07 PM PDT One thing you can always rely on at Apple events is that some crazy, large numbers will be thrown around. Today's WWDC 2013 Keynote event didn't waver from that tradition. Just in the first few minutes we heard that there are now 6 million registered Apple developers, 50 billion apps have been downloaded from the App Store, and that WWDC itself sold out in just 71 seconds this year. And of course there were some crazy iPad numbers shared during the presentation as well. Here are a couple that stood out for me: – There are now over 375,000 apps designed specifically for iPad. I'm surprised there was no comparison slide for this one, because it certainly seems like this is an area of huge competitive advantage for the iPad. It's also worth noting that the 375k figure seems a little old. I've heard it mentioned before at least once, and the Appshopper.com today list the...

iMore at E3 2013! Posted: 10 Jun 2013 02:47 PM PDT You're probably still reeling from the barrage of WWDC 2013 announcements, but hold onto your butts - things aren't slowing down. Yours truly is currently in Los Angeles for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, where the biggest game developers and publishers are making announcements and showing off the goods. If GDC taught me anything, it was that any mobile games that were being shown off early were on iOS, so be prepared to see a bunch of new titles this week. I already got a sneak peek at two really awesome games from 2K, and the show hasn't even started in earnest yet. Microsoft and EA have had their big press conferences today, and you can see the news coming out of there on our sister site, Windows Phone Central. One thing that caught my eye was a new Commander Mode for Battlefield 4 where players could launch air strikes from a tablet overview of a live map. It was freakin' sweet check it out at 52:53 of the Ustream replay. What would you gamers out there like to see out of E3?

A closer look at the new Mac Pro Posted: 10 Jun 2013 03:15 PM PDT Over the past few weeks I've spent a lot of time writing about the Mac Pro - how to keep it alive a while longer, its importance as Apple's most high-performance computer, and what I thought the future was likely to hold for the aging but still powerful machine. Well, Apple finally gave us a glimpse of that future today. The new Mac Pro is a huge departure from the old one - Apple started with a fresh sheet of paper and really rethought what the purpose of a "pro" computer is. In the process, they're giving us something completely new. The new Mac Pro won't ship until later this year, but when it does, it'll immediately jump to the front of the Mac line in overall performance. Despite the ten year old design of the aluminum-clad Mac Pro, it was no slouch - Geekbench reports show that Mac Pros dating back to 2010 still kick the ass of Apple's next-fastest machine - the 27-inch iMac. The new machine uses Intel Xeon E5 processors, which won't ship until the third calendar quarter of 2013. This generation of Xeon E5 is based around Intel's Ivy Bridge-EP microprocessor architecture. Apple says the new Mac Pro's floating-point performance alone is twice as fast. Faster Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory running at 1866MHz, connected through a four-channel controller, means the new Mac Pro has twice the memory bandwidth of its predecessor as well. This move to an Ivy Bridge-EP-based Xeon microprocessor finally allows the Mac Pro to have USB 3.0 and faster a PCIe bus, which Apple is using specifically for Solid State Drive (SSD) storage, eschewing the internal SATA interface used in previous Mac Pros all together. That PCIe-based flash storage is more than twice as fast as a SATA-based SSD and up to 10 times faster than a SATA-based hard drive, according to Apple. This is liable to disappoint some Mac Pro enthusiasts who enjoy the internal expandability of today's model, but Apple says all expandability on this new machine is external. That's because in addition to four USB 3.0 ports, the new Mac Pro has a total of six Thunderbolt 2 ports. Thunderbolt 2 offers twice the bandwidth of the original Thunderbolt, which is now standard issue across the Mac line, with half a dozen ports to use - three times as many as any other current Mac model. I anticipate that the Mac Pro will be one of the first, if not the first production computer to have Thunderbolt 2 installed. Intel says that Thunderbolt 2 controller chips (previously code-named "Falcon Ridge"), would go into production later this year, with widespread availability not expected until 2014. Thunderbolt 2 will be used to channel external video, and the massive bandwidth will enable Mac Pro users to drive up to three displays at 4K resolution. 3840 x 2160 is a lot of pixels, and you need more than just bandwidth to push them, so Apple's put dual graphics processors in as standard equipment. The new Mac Pro uses AMD's FirePro GPUs. FirePro isn't a consumer-oriented chip: these are workstation-class graphics processors, and the new Mac Pro comes with two of them. (Plus there's an HDMI cable if you'd like to hook up your Mac Pro directly to a big-screen TV - and with HDMI 1.4 support, that connector will work with the 4K TVs that are coming to market now.) The cylindrical design of the new Mac Pro eschews an internal SuperDrive. That was an obvious evolution: at this point, the only Macs that still have internal optical drives are the non-Retina Display-equipped MacBook Pros. But that design provides some interesting properties - essentially, the interior of the Mac Pro is a giant aluminum heatsink, wicking away heat from the CPU, GPUs and other components and channeling upward like a chimney. On top of the Mac Pro is a fan to help vent the heat, and Apple says it's quiet. Current Mac Pros can be noisy, so this is a welcome change, especially for digital audio pros who need a quiet studio to record. As is customary with the Mac Pro, there's not one but two Gigabit Ethernet connections on the new box. Mac Pros often are connected to two different hard-line networks, but those two ports can also be used for link aggregation for even faster data transfers over a Gigabit Ethernet network. And, of course, the new box will support 802.11ac - Gigabit Wi-Fi - and Bluetooth 4.0. The most amazing part of the new Mac Pro is just how much power Apple has crammed into so small a space. The system measures less than ten inches high, with a diameter of six inches. You could stack eight of these things together in the space of the current Mac Pro. Plus it's got a cool black design that's unlike any other Mac at present, though it's right at home with a black iPhone. "Can't innovate any more, my ass," said Phil Schiller at WWDC today. He's right - this new Mac Pro shows that Apple still has amazing design skills, and I'm excited to see what the new hardware can do. The biggest questions I have right now is when is it going to be available and how much is it going to set me back. Apple said nothing about the price of the new machine. Whatever it is, you can count on it being fairly dear - the Mac Pro has always been Apple's highest-priced system. As far as availability is concerned, the Xeon processors that power it won't be out until the third quarter, but Intel is still saying "before the end of the year" for Thunderbolt 2, which could mean anything. To have a closer look at the box, please check out Apple's preview site.

What did you think of the WWDC 2013 keynote? [Poll] Posted: 10 Jun 2013 02:42 PM PDT What did you think of the WWDC keynote? [Poll] So, we've emerged the other side of the WWDC 2013 day one keynote, and Apple definitely left us with a lot to take in. There were some things we were expecting, some rumors that turned out to be true, and then there was the Mac Pro. During the two hours, besides the stunning looking Mac Pro sneak peek, Apple unveiled OS X 10.9 Mavericks, refreshed MacBook Air hardware, iOS 7 and iTunes Radio, not counting the countless new features on both operating systems that were talked about and demonstrated. But, what we want to know is; what did you think? Best keynote yet, utterly terrible, or somewhere in-between? Lots of new stuff doesn't necessarily always equal good, but there were definitely enough talking points within this years event to keep us going until Christmas. As ever, stick a vote in up top, and jump into the comments below with your thoughts!

Apple posts full WWDC 2013 keynote video to watch back at your leisure Posted: 10 Jun 2013 02:09 PM PDT For those who missed the WWDC keynote today, or for those who want to see it again, Apple has posted the video on its website. Apple announced new models of the MacBook Air, teased the new Mac Pro, and unveiled OS X Mavericks and iOS 7.

Senator John McCain praises Apple's new auto-updating apps feature in iOS 7 Posted: 10 Jun 2013 02:01 PM PDT One person for sure who will be delighted by one of iOS 7's new features is one Senator John McCain. Famously, during the Senate hearing attended by Tim Cook, McCain asked why he has to update things all the time. Fast forward to WWDC, and what should Apple announce as part of iOS 7? Auto-updating apps. So, taking to Twitter, the Senator has congratulated Apple on a job well done: "Thanks to Tim Cook for the automatic iphone app updates! #apple #wwdc" Not sure what he thinks of the rest of it, but at least that's one happy user Apple can add to the scorecard!

iOS 7 video with Jony Ive and Craig Federighi now available on Apple.com Posted: 10 Jun 2013 01:42 PM PDT If you couldn't catch the live video feed of the WWDC keynote today, you won't have seen the promo video for the new look iOS 7 starring Jony Ive and Craig Federighi. Thankfully -- and in advance of the whole keynote video hitting the web -- over on Apple.com you can now watch through the 7 minutes and 30 seconds of iOS 7 goodness. There's no doubts that the new man in town has made his mark on iOS, and the rumors of a much flatter, cleaner interface came true. There's a lot more whites, with dark accents, and absolutely no green felt. While the appearance may divide iOS users, the beauty is more than just skin deep. There's a bunch of useful new features underneath, and a ton of new API's for developers to get their hooks into. AirDrop has been added to iOS, albeit only for the most recent devices due to hardware limitations, and we got improved security with Find my iPhone, background updates for apps, and a whole lot more. Give the video a quick watch, then jump into the comments below and tell us what you're most excited about in iOS 7. Source: Apple

iPad Really Took a Back Seat in Apple’s iOS 7 Demo Posted: 10 Jun 2013 12:23 PM PDT Apple unveiled iOS 7 today at their WWDC 2013 Keynote event, and of course there's a lot to be excited about in the upcoming new version of iOS. I'll collect my thoughts a little and share some on iOS 7 a little later. One thing I wanted to comment on right away is how iPad seemed very much in the back seat during all of the talk about iOS 7. Almost every image shown on slides and in demos was an iPhone image. The iPad got an almost in passing sort of mention towards the end of the iOS 7 section of the event – something along the lines of 'and of course all these features will come to the iPad too'. More importantly, the first iOS 7 beta for developers is out today for the iPhone; while the betas for iPad are expected 'in coming weeks'. It almost feels a little like the iPad was relegated to a second class citizen compared to the iPhone today – which is pretty odd...

Notifications in OS X Mavericks to include quick action shortcuts Posted: 10 Jun 2013 12:42 PM PDT Notifications are getting a slight refresh in OS X Mavericks. Apple announced today at WWDC 2013 that notifications would allow users to quickly leap into action without having to open apps first. This includes replying to incoming iMessages, sending canned responses to FaceTime requests, and even third-party apps will be able to offer a bit of interactivity. It's also worth noting that notifications are going to be synced across platforms, so you won't have to clear the same ones on your iPad that you already have on your Mac. Mavericks is shaping up to be really nice, but honestly, it's hard not to be more excited about the iOS 7 stuff coming out of WWDC 2013. What do you guys think of Mavericks? Are you likely to be picking up the new Mac Pro or Macbook Air?

Find my iPhone toughening up in iOS 7, requires Apple ID to erase the phone Posted: 10 Jun 2013 12:36 PM PDT iOS 7 is taking security pretty seriously, with some updates to Find my iPhone that requires your Apple ID and password in order to perform a remote erase. This also applies to turning off Find my iPhone, making it much tougher to access should you ever lose it or have it stolen. Once the device has been erased, a custom message can still be displayed on the lock screen. And, to re-enable the phone once its been erased, requires your Apple ID and password again. So, as Apple puts it, "your iPhone is still your iPhone. No matter where it is"

Apple posts OS X Mavericks preview page Posted: 10 Jun 2013 12:31 PM PDT Interested in getting more information about OS X Mavericks? Visit Apple's Web site, they've posted the details. Apple outlines ten of the new features coming to Mavericks when it debuts later this year. Among the new features are iBooks, finally coming to OS X after being an iOS exclusive up to now, Maps (another carryover from iOS), enhancements to Calendar, a new Safari, iCloud keychain, dramatically improved support for multiple displays, a reworked notification manager, Finder Tabs, Tags and advanced technologies designed to improve power efficiency. Mavericks is named after a popular California surfing location. With OS X 10.9, Apple is moving away from the "big cat" nomenclature and instead switching to California place names. Mavericks is due out this fall.

Apple posts official iOS 7 features page on Apple.com Posted: 10 Jun 2013 12:19 PM PDT Now that Apple has officially announced and shown off iOS 7 at WWDC 2013, they've now added a page to Apple.com laying out the features, complete with mini previews of each. The new iOS 7 page shows the updated interfaces of all the core apps as well as new ones such as Control Center, iTunes Radio, and more.
