A new iPad model with a smaller form factor is an inevitability, in the eyes of one analyst, though Apple is not expected to imminently release such a device.

UK TV network Channel Five’s The Gadget Show aired a 360 degree promo video for its new series which starts next week. The promo which aired last night was the first of its kind ever to be shown. To benefit from the complete experience, users had to watch live TV with an accompanying iOS app running on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. The app ran in time with the live TV stream and enabled you to look around the studio using the inbuilt gyroscope; giving 360 degree views in real time of the studio. At 9pm on 16th April 2012, Channel 5 will make television history by bringing you the world’s first 360 degree promo for the new series of The Gadget Show: World Tour. Jason Bradbury and Pollyanna Woodward are off on an international gadget-filled expedition to seek out and play with the greatest tech the globe has to offer. The technology is certainly something to look out for in the future. Imagine if it could be used for watching sports event; having the ability to pan around the field of play or move your viewpoint to behind a goal. The possibilities are endless and I for one hope that this technology catches on as it is very impressive! If it all sounds a bit confusing, take a look at the video below.

A rumored paring up between Apple and Valve has gamers salivating, but there would be many hurdles to such a partnership.

For the first time in… forever, iPhone 4S commercials are hitting the air with celebrities…. talking to Siri. The Avengers‘ Samuel L. Jackson is in one spot that finishes with Verizon branding and The New Girl‘s Zooey Deschanel is in another with the Sprint logo at the end.

Given that at least two carriers seem to be involved so far, it’s hard to imagine Apple isn’t behind them. While there have been some carrier specific ad spots in the past, they’ve been very specific, often touting network features like simultaneous voice and data (AT&T), reliability and reach (Verizon), or unlimited data (Sprint) and something slamming the competition. iPhone features, especially when the carrier is relegated to branding at the end, are typically done by Apple (and air outside the US with international carrier branding).

Unlike previous Siri commercials, the celebrities in these spots actually get their whole heads featured and aren’t simply shot from the mouth down (obviously). There’s a lot of missed opportunities too, with Samuel L. Jackson never asking Siri “where’s my super suit?!”.

So this raises several interesting questions. Are there more celebrity spots on the way? Why would Apple switch gears now and use celebrities anyway? We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled tonight in case any other commercials show up — let us know if you see any. And let us know which celebrities you’d like to see in an iPhone 4S commercial. James Earl Jones would be pretty epic…!

Apple stock has shifted downward dramatically over the last week, falling from a 52 week high of 644 down to close at 580 today. Today’s drop amounted to $25.10, which appeared to be its largest single point drop.

A new iPhone commercial from Verizon featuring actor Samuel L. Jackson has aired on ESPN, marking the return of famous talent to Apple product ads.

Cards is Apple’s iPhone app that allows you to create custom cards to be printed and mailed to friends and family. The recent update includes some cute templates for Mother’s Day. Apple has added new cards in many of the other categories as well.

Creating a card is super easy and only take a few minutes to do. Once you decided on a template, just tap the photo field to insert a photo. You can edit text in a similar manner. Once you make your personal adjustment to the inside and outside of the card, you can add addresses from your address book. Then tap the price of the card ($2.99), enter your password, and your card is on its way!

Well, in theory.

I’ve tried sending a card twice now with no luck. Both times, I’ve added the recipient address from my contacts and then tapped to edit it because I wanted to change the name of the recipient. After I made my changes and tapped done, Cards prompted me to select what country the recipient is from. Then it crashed. Both times.

I’m actually pretty sad about this. I’ve sent personalized greeting cards with Cards in the past and the quality is great. I hope Apple fixes this before Mother’s Day, because I was planning to send my mom a Mother’s Day card with this app.

It’s also ironic that Apple claims that this update “improves accuracy of envelope address verification” and “simplifies and improves the checkout process”.

And while I’m griping about Cards, anyway, can I just say — where’s the iPad version, Apple?!
