Engadget announced their 2013 Engadget Editors’ Choice awards this weekend, and the Retina iPad mini was among the big winners – selected as Tablet of the Year. Yes I know that Engadget refers to it by its official name, the iPad mini with Retina display – I prefer the other way round as it’s […]

Google’s Hangouts app for iPad and iOS was updated yesterday, to Version 2.0.0. With this update the app is optimized for iOS 7 and also ‘fully optimized’ for the iPad.

It’s a Kickstarter project that’s about half way to its funding goal with a little over a month left to meet its target.
