Some interesting things to point out from the leaked dead pixel policy is that the iPhone, iPod touch and any other device with a 1 to 3.5 inch screen has a zero tolerance policy meaning that 1 dead pixel (bright or dark) is enough to have a repair or replacement done. [Read more…]

Apple iPad 2 Patent Points to Landscape Dock Connector

Some documents have been submitted to the European Trademarks and Designs Registration Office by Apple [AAPL] which reveal an iPad style device with two dock connectors.
