If you hadn’t noticed, there have been a lot of app updates to accommodate the launch of iOS 7 . You may not have to use a WiFi hotspot to grab them all, though — Apple has quietly raised iOS’ cellular download cap from 50MB to 100MB. You won’t be loading Infinity Blade III while on the road, but the ceiling is high enough that moderately-sized apps like Sky Guide are now available over the air. Just make sure you’ve got enough spare bandwidth . Filed under: Cellphones , Tablets , Mobile , Apple Comments Source: AppleInsider

We are well past mid-August, which is when Sharp initially estimated its new 70-inch Aquos 4K Ultra HD LED TV would begin hitting shelves. Despite the late arrival, however, something tells us folks will still be glad to have yet another choice when shopping for their next 4K television set. To make things better, Sharp’s super high-res, THX-certified Smart TV is set to be carrying a $7, 499.99 MSRP here in the States, making it about $500 cheaper than when it was originally announced. Those of you interested shouldn’t have trouble finding one, as Sharp says it’ll be available at many regional and major retailers across the country.

BlackBerry hasn’t been hiding the fact that it’s cutting back on its workforce, but a new report from The Wall Street Journal today suggests that a particularly big round of layoffs could be in the offing. Citing people familiar with the matter, the paper says that the company is preparing to cut up to 40 percent of its workforce by the end of the year, with the layoffs expected to ” cut across all departments” and “occur in waves.” As the WSJ notes, the most recent tally of employees the company has disclosed is 12, 700, which is already down from 17, 000 two years ago. This latest news also comes after an indication earlier this month that at least some BlackBerry board members are pushing for a speedy sale of the company, which reportedly could happen as early as November . For its part, BlackBerry isn’t commenting on the specific number of layoffs, telling the WSJ only that “organizational moves will continue to occur to ensure we have the right people in the right roles to drive new opportunities in mobile computing.” Filed under: Cellphones , Mobile , Blackberry Comments
