Redesigned iMac And Mac Pro Coming In 2013, Says Apple Exec

Redesigned iMac And Mac Pro Coming In 2013, Says Apple Exec

The limelight during yesterday’s WWDC keynote was hogged almost entirely by the MacBook range, in particular, the brand-new, Retina display MacBook Pro. With the four-year wait for Mac Pro enhancements bringing only incremental improvements at best, you could have been forgiven that Apple was distancing itself from the desktop in favor of the notebook.

Indeed, given the incredible power of the next-gen MacBook Pro, which is now on general sale, it would certainly seem as though the need for a desktop – famously allowing for better performance due to the relaxed form factor constraints – is disappearing quicker than MySpace did.

The iMessage technology popped onto the scene when Apple released iOS 5 and has only grown in prominence with the release of Messages for Mac which will be an integral part of OS X Mountain Lion.

Research In Motion’s once-mighty BlackBerry brand is fast losing all relevance in the market. Stifled out by the likes of iOS and Android, it seems to have plummeted down to a level from which even BlackBerry Messenger cannot dredge it from. But just when you might have thought that was it, one particular developer has created a mod which allows iOS apps to run on the almost-forgotten PlayBook tablet.

The dev, operating under the pseudonym “Businesscat2000,” shared videos of his inroads on the aptly named CrackBerry forums. The iPad-intended apps seem to be running rather smoothly, and although there were some initial doubts when the clips first surfaced last weekend as to whether the hack was genuine or not,  CrackBerry’s Kevin Michaluk insisted Businescat2000 perform a couple of tests, such as writing “Hi CrackBerry”, to prove it was the real deal.
