TripWhat Debuts Its One-Stop Travel, Restaurant And Event iPhone And Web Search Apps
If you’re looking for stuff to do, in a new city or your own, there are various ways to get that info, including Yelp, Zvents, Frommer’s guides and more. Waterloo-based Rebellion Media would rather all that data was collected in a single hub, however, where travelers could get a quick look at everything they need for trip planning in a single place, based on a map-centric interface that’s fast and easy to use, which is why they created TripWhat. TripWhat is a travel-oriented search engine for iPhone and web. There are lots of different travel apps out there, which is why I asked TripWhat co-founder Chris Reid about the decision to add another one to the mix. After all, even if there’s still a lot of demand for travel products out there among consumers, it’s beginning to get harder to distinguish yourself as an app in the travel category. “One problem we really see is that a lot of this information is siloed, so you’ll have something like SeatGeek, you’ll have Wikipedia, you’ll ...

New Kickstarter Project Lets You Send And Receive ‘Sound Emojis’ On Your iPhone Or Android Device
Apple's greatest innovation in recent version of iOS was clearly enabling emoji keyboard support for all iPhone and iPad users, regardless of region.

The TeleSound is an iPhone and Android device accessory that lets users send sound messages, by translating the emojis built into iOS into a corresponding sound and playing it back via a special speaker peripheral.

Apple’s Q1 2013 Breaks iPhone And iPad Sales Records With 47.8M, 22.9M Units Sold Respectively
Apple just released its earnings report for Q1 2013, ending in December of last year, with a solid hardware quarter overall. The iPhone dominated with 47.8 million units sold in the quarter, up quarterly and yearly, with Apple also breaking records with 22.9 million iPads sold. The iPhone 5 saw its first full quarter of availability this period, as well as a nice holiday sales boost. Analysts had suggested earlier this month that iPhone 5 production orders had been cut on signs of weak demand. 22.9 million iPads sold is a solid increase from last quarter’s 14 million. It’s also an 33 percent YOY increase, up from 15.4 million last year. The iPad missed predictions last quarter. Though Apple doesn’t break out specific numbers on various models, it’s fair to assume the iPad mini, which was available for the majority of the period, played a part in the increased sales along with the holiday spike.
