Would You Pay For FaceTime Over 3G?

When Apple launched iOS 6, it was happy to announce that FaceTime was finally going to be available over 3G. Great!

Do You Want a Smaller iPad?

There’s no escaping the rumor hype that a smaller iPad is on the way (it’s currently suggested that such a tablet will have a 7.85-inch screen).
