Apple gearing up for ‘media-related announcement’ later this month?

Leave it to Apple to completely avoid CES, yet be one of the largest stories surrounding its dates. Much like last year’s invite to what would eventually be the introduction of Verizon’s iPhone 4 , All Things D has it on good authority that the folks in Cupertino are spending their first hours back on the job planning a “media-related announcement” for later this month.

Apple update twofer: Apple TV hits 4.4.4 (9A406a), minor iOS 5.0.1 bump hits iPhone 4S

Here’s a question: why, as a major consumer electronics company, would you introduce just one software update in a day, when you could just as easily introduce two ?

BBC’s global iPlayer app adds AirPlay streaming, should just be on Apple TV

British expats and international fans of BBC television alike can now stream some Gavin & Stacey to their televisions (past season 1 anyway, which is on Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video), as long as they’re properly equipped. The global iPlayer app for iPad has been updated with AirPlay streaming (those in the UK however, have no such luck so far) so once users update to iOS 5 and buy an Apple TV box, they’re in business. Of course, this would all be much simpler if iPlayer were just available on the Apple TV itself (without XBMC or other hacks), but no one asked us, did they

iOS 5 beta 7 goes live for developers

Well, you can’t say Cupertino isn’t being consistent. Just like last time, Apple’s gone and released a new beta of iOS 5, less than two weeks after the last one . Not much of interest pops out of build 9A5313E’s release notes, but we’d presume it squashes a fair share of bugs

Real Racing 2 HD beats Wii U to the wireless, dual-screen gaming punch

Hey, guess what? That Real Racing 2 HD update that combined your iPad and TV for dual-screen gaming action will soon be able to ditch the wires and use AirPlay to beam every turn and crash to your flatscreen. You’ll need an Apple TV or other Mac device hooked up to your set, and the feature won’t be unlocked until iOS 5 hits, but it should satisfy your curiosity for what playing a Wii U might be like until the new Nintendo console lands next year.

How Many Apps Are Too Many Apps? [Apps]

Looking back on it now, the first time I truly felt the need for a note-taking app was when I started researching note-taking apps. I was just looking for a simple tool to save ideas about upcoming articles or jot down an occasional to-do list

Fix for Apple TV screen flickering issue said to be on the way

One thing leads to another. First we get a slew of reports of screen flickering from folks using an HDMI to DVI adapter with their Apple TV , and now an Apple rep has confirmed on the company’s support forums that Apple is indeed “aware of this issue and working on a fix.” No more details than that at the moment, but it seems like you can rest assured that Apple won’t be leaving you behind just because your TV doesn’t have an HDMI port.

Apple TV update reportedly causing screen flicker issues with HDMI to DVI adapters

We’ve seen reports of strange video behavior with Apple TVs before, and it looks like a new problem has now cropped up with the most recent update . According to a growing number of reports on the Apple support forums, those using an HDMI to DVI adapter to connect the device to their TV seem to have been hit with an annoying issue that causes their screen to flicker every few seconds. That’s apparently happening with a wide range of TVs, and at least some are also reporting the same thing happening even if they aren’t using an adapter.
