Next-gen iDevice picture coming together
At the same time as developers and *ahem* "others" have been looking under the hood of Apple's developmental "iPhone 3.0b2" operating system to discover clues to what sort of next-generation devices ("iDevices" or iTouch Platform Architecture, "IPA;" call them what you will) this powerful new OS will be running on as soon as June or July....other pieces of evidence, both publicly known and in the "insider" realm, have also been coming together.We really, really like what we see coming down the pipe, and we think you will too.

Pre-Release Review of Twittelator 2.0 for IPA
Two members of the team that runs Rumors for Xerces Media have had the opportunity to participate in the recent beta test of Twittelator Pro 2.0 and in the hours before it hits the AppStore at long last, we wanted to show the world this remarkable piece of software for the iDevice platform -- read on for our first "pre-release" review
Apple updates iMac, Mini today with nVIDIA chipsets instead of Intel
In a move that surprised even some of our sources and was in several key ways quite (but not entirely) contrary to our published projections as to the iMac's specs, Apple announced new iMacs and Mac Minis today.
iMac and possibly Mini to be updated at March 24th Apple Event
The grapevine has been set on fire this weekend by a breaking rumor, strongly suggesting from multiple quarters/sources that the much awaited "Nehalem" Core i7 iMac, and perhaps also a revamped Mac Mini, will be announced at an Apple Event on the 24th of this month.
Will Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” really support PowerPC?!
Ever since we posted our first 'sneak peek' at Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" two weeks ago, one of the most frequent questions and lingering doubts amongst readers surrounds the issue of support for PowerPC (G4/G5) based Macs. Will it really be present in the final version? Tonight we took a moment to answer that question as best we could.
Mac OS X 10.5.7 enters beta; broadly seeded to devs
As Rumors has recently reported, the development of Mac OS X 10.5.7 has been proceeding at a slow but steady pace...and in the past few days, has crossed over into "beta" status with a new build that has been seeded to the full developer community.
Will my GPU be fully supported by Snow Leopard’s OpenCL?
Wondering whether your Mac's graphics processor will support the full range of accelerated functions offered by the OpenCL general-purpose GPU computing technology in Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"? Our sources report on what GPUs provide the full benefits of OpenCL and which may not.
Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard” – First Sneak Peek
Even as Rumors worked to prepare our first in-depth look at developmental "alpha" stage builds of Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" earlier this week...the first builds (10A250 and later) seeded to third-party developers in quite some time and the first to be nearly feature-complete hit the grapevine like a shock wave. We have modified this first Sneak Peek to incorporate some of these reports, notably on the most recent 10A261 seed, and will be posting smaller more frequent Snow Leopard updates in the days ahead.
Will new iDevice features (Flash, multitasking) premiere first on Pro devices?
Recently, Rumors was among the first to report on references to an "iPhone 2,1" in last week's v2.2.1 iDevice OS firmware release, and suggest that this was almost certainly the forthcoming iPhone Pro. Now, along with emerging suggestions of a corresponding high-end iPod Touch, the grapevine is abuzz with rumors about background tasking, Adobe Flash and other features which may be tied to the powerful new "Pro" iDevice hardware.

OS X 10.5.7 nearing beta phase; supports new macs, bug fixes
Despite somewhat less hands-on time that we usually like to have in our first sneak-peeks of developmental Apple software -- particularly system updates -- we are taking a look under the hood of Mac OS X 10.5.7 which is fast approaching the 'beta' phase when it will be seeded to third-party developers for testing & feedback. Interestingly, our examinations turned up not just software dirt, but hints of what's to come for the iMac, Mac Pro & even Macbook Air.
