Apple: App Access to Contact Data Will Require Explicit User Permission After a week of silence, Apple has finally responded to reports that dozens of iOS applications have been accessing, transmitting and storing user contact data without explicit permission.

Apple’s not holding an event in February — strange, unusual or otherwise. But it is holding one in March — to launch its next iPad.

How many Kindle Fires will Amazon sell next year? Enough to claim a decent chunk of the tablet market, says Citi analyst Mark Mahaney. Mahaney estimates that Amazon will sell 12 million Fires in 2012 to wrest a 15 percent share of the tablet market from Apple. If he’s right, the Fire will end up generating about $3.2 billion in revenue, or about 5 percent of Amazon’s total. “The path is clear,” sa
This is the first in a series of posts this week about the Facebook phone. After years of considering how to best get into the phone business, Facebook has tapped Taiwanese cellphone maker HTC to build a smartphone that has the social network integrated at the core of its being. Code-named “Buffy,” after the television vampire slayer, the phone is planned to run on a modified version of Android th

With the iPhone 4S arriving at market today, the never-sated Apple rumor mill is clamoring for more grist. And, as always, there’s plenty of it to be had, this time involving the iPad 3. According to Susquehanna Financial analyst Jeff Fidacaro, the device is headed into production. Supply chain checks suggest to Fidacaro that Apple is ramping up its fourth-quarter iPad builds to between 12 and 14
Steve Jobs’s Appearances at D, the Full Video Sessions Steve Jobs was onstage for the first-ever D: All Things Digital conference in 2003, and a guest and interviewee four times since — five if you count the legendary two appearances he made onstage at D5 in 2007, one solo and one with longtime rival and friend Bill Gates. Here are the complete sessions for his D appearances: D1 in 2003
AllThingsD marks the anniversary of Steve Jobs’s death with Walt Mossberg’s memories of the man, originally published Oct. 5, 2011. That Steve Jobs was a genius, a giant influence on multiple industries and billions of lives, has been written many times since he retired as Apple’s CEO in August. He was a historical figure on the scale of a Thomas Edison or a Henry Ford, and set the mold for many o
Bill Gates, who during his long career at Microsoft was both a partner and rival to Steve Jobs, called working with Jobs “an insanely great honor” and said he would miss the Apple founder “immensely.” Shortly after the announcement of Jobs’s death, Gates sent a statement to AllThingsD, offering his condolences to Jobs’s family and friends and praising Jobs’s impact. The pair appeared together in a
What Are Apple’s Icons Doing on Samsung’s Wall of Apps? If Samsung really does plan to take a bolder stance in its intellectual property battle with Apple, it best clean up its own operations first.

Consi

Should Google Keep Motorola’s Patents and Sell Off the Hardware Business?

So those rumors claiming the iPhone 5 will debut in late September? They’re wrong. Instead, it’s going to be an October surprise — the month in which Apple plans to launch its next-gen iPhone. Sources with knowledge of the situation say reports claiming AT&T has blacked out employee vacations during the last two weeks of September in preparation for the retail debut of the next iPhone are misinfor
Soon-to-Debut Google+ Games Will Hit Facebook Where It Hurts: The Pocketbook Google is close to launching a social game network that could make Facebook very, very nervous. Perhaps the biggest difference between the two platforms will be cost.
