I can’t say I’m that into Halloween that I’d buy a special Halloween iPhone case. But I guess there are enough people who are, because otherwise Speck wouldn’t bother selling them. The company has three “spooky” cases to choose from and I think the one with the skull on it (pictured above) probably has the …

Once again risking the wrath of Apple, HardCandy Cases has announced an iPad Mini case in advance of Apple’s press conference today. Apple typically doesn’t like when other companies trot out accessories ahead of its hardware unveils, so HardCandy clearly feels the publicity benefits outweigh the repercussions. The $49.95 case is in HardCandy’s ShockDrop line, and while rumors and leaked …

It may still be years before digital books replace paper ones in schools, but Amazon is laying the groundwork for the transition with Whispercast for Kindle, a free “scalable” online tool for “deploying Kindle devices and Kindle content.” With Whispercast Amazon is also targeting businesses administrators who want to manage and share Kindle books and documents within their organizations.

Whenever Apple brings out a new iPod Touch, the specs never quite measure up to the latest iPhone’s, though the Touch is a good deal lighter and thinner.

Well, it took a little longer than expected, but today the company has announced that it’s launching Nook Video this fall in the …

For the launch of the “Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures Blu-ray,” Karen Allen, who played Marion Ravenwood in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and then returned for the fourth installment (“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”), was in New York to promote the release. Normally, we don’t do too many celebrity interviews here on CNET, but when …

If the iPhone case fits, acquit. Last year, Hard Candy Cases released an iPhone 5 case before the iPhone 5 actually was announced and got a little mud on its face when it didn’t fit the iPhone 4S.

Now playing: Watch this: Features missing from iPhone 5 3:07 At long last, the iPhone 5 is here, and now the dissection begins. Of course, whether it truly lives up to expectations won’t matter to millions of people with older iPhones (and other smartphones) who’ve been waiting to upgrade to the next iPhone no matter what. But for those who …
