Apple iOS6 - iPhone and iPad Rumors - September is upon us

iPhone 5 with iOS 6 - Announcement September 12. Full release about one week later. Taller screen, thinner, lighter, faster, Apple maps, navigation, Siri 2.0, decline call with text feature. iOS 6 update for iPhone 4S and the new iPad (iPad 3) - September 12 likely. Current iPhone/iPad users will be able to upgrade for free. iPad Mini/iOS 6 - Rumors say the 7-inch iPad will not release with iPhone 5 in September 2012. This now appears to be October. Recent rumors hint at screen manufacturing shortages. The price is projected to be $199 to compete with Kindle Fire. The big "risk" here is that many existing customers will update to iOS 6 in September. Not all Apps support iOS 6, so customers may see problems when they update. CompanionLink and DejaOffice fully supports iOS 6 on all devices.

Windows 8, Office 2013 Release and Rumors - Late October

Windows 8 - Confirmed: October 26, 2012 "Metro" (to be renamed) interface, $40 upgrade from Windows 7. Windows Phone 8 - Confirmed October 29, 2012 Phones are arriving from Nokia and Samsung across most carriers. Windows Surface tablet with Windows 8 - Confirmed October 25, 2012 Office 2013 - Currently RTM - Rumor: February 2013 Not sure why Office 2013 is not shipping with Windows 8. With Office shipping so late, it is not likely to interfere with Fall 2012 business. Certainly some customers will need support if they upgrade their PC to Windows 8 and any current software is not fully compatible. All CompanionLink releases are currently compatible with Windows 8 and Office 2013.
