Jumsoft (www.jumsoft.com) has released the first batch of new designs for Toolbox for Pages 1.1 and Toolbox for Keynote 1.1 apps.

The two updates feature a total of 74 new templates and 55 sets of illustrations. The designs are built for creating and illustrating brochures, newsletters, slide presentations, and various other types of content.

Phase One (http://www.phaseone.com) has updated its Capture One 6 software with the release of Capture One 6.4.5. While the company has recently introduced Capture One 7, this release is in response to the needs of its legacy software customers.

Capture One 6.4.5 update provides several key bug fixes including support for Canon tethering on Mac OSX 10.8 and better support for Samsung EX2F files. This update is free to existing owners of all versions of Capture One 6, including Capture One Pro 6, Capture One Express 6, and Capture One DB 6 (digital back) software.

As noted by "TechCrunch" (http://tinyurl.com/botllys), Apple’s iOS is consolidating its grip on the enterprise market and taking share from Android, according to customer data Egnyte, an enterprise file sharing and hybrid cloud storage company that offers cloud back-up and storage services.

In 2012, iOS marketshare rose to 69% (the iPhone and 42%; the iPad, 27%) compared to 30% for Android phones and tablets. Early 2013 data from Egnyte shows that for this year so far, the iOS has 78% marketshare (48% for the iPhone and 30% for the iPad) compared to 22% for Android phones and tablets.

"Apple seems to have at least temporarily won the hearts and minds of business users with its products accounting for about 70 percent of our traffic," Egnyte told "TechCrunch."

Aquafadas (www.aquafadas.com) -- a developer of digital publishing solutions and creative software for HTML5 creation -- has announced that ePublishers can now consolidate multiple magazines, newsletters, dailies and more publications into a single app using the new Aquafadas multi-title AVE AppFactory template.

A tool that allows independent publishers to create multi-title kiosk apps, the new template lets users manage title purchases via one single app rather than creating a dedicated App for each individual title. With only one app to manage all titles, publishers have many more opportunities to cross-market titles and strengthen brand recognition, says Aquafadas CEO Claudia Zimmer.

Once a customer downloads the publisher’s app, they are able to browse through and purchase titles in one outlet. The Aquafadas multi-title app template offers banners that can be easily managed, says Zimmer. Publishers...

Egger Apps is now offering a free trial of MDB ACCDB Viewer, which the company says has helped 13,000 Mac users reclaim the data stored in Microsoft Access databases.

Previously, MDB ACCDB Viewer was exclusively available as a paid application on the Mac App Store. In addition to the free trial, customers now have the option of purchasing the app outside the Mac App Store.

What is MDB ACCDB Viewer? Access databases (ACCDB and MDB files) are ubiquitous in the Windows world. They're used for everything, ranging from personal expenses to medical databases to genealogy research. Novice Mac users are often taken by surprise when they learn that they can no longer access their data after switching to the Mac. MDB ACCDB Viewer allows them to view databases on the Mac, and to export the data for other applications such as Filemaker or Bento.

MDB ACCDB Viewer 2.2.2 includes bug fixes and adds support for exporting to the newer XML based Excel format. It requires Mac OS...

iPad and iPad mini shipments may be affected by a lack of touch screen sensors, according to "DigiTimes" (http://tinyurl.com/adhdwhy)

Japan-based Nissha Printing, Apple's main supplier of thin-film touch sensors for the iPad mini, may not be able to supply enough of the sensors for Apple's next-generation tablets due to a lack of production capacity, the article adds, quoting unnamed "industry sources."

According to "DigiTimes," the next-gen, full size iPad is expected to use the same touch sensors as the iPad mini's thin-film DITO (G/F2) touch panel structure. This means that Apple will be looking mostly to Nissha to supply the touch sensors for both devices as the Japan-based firm is a leading provider of the technology, the sources said.

Nissha currently has an annual production capacity for 60 million 9.7-inch equivalent touch sensors, per "DigiTimes." Approximately 33 million iPads...

Judge Christopher Floyd ruled in a London court that Apple's products don't infringe Samsung's patents around the ability to send and receive information from a device over a 3G network, reports "ZDNet" (http://tinyurl.com/dy5owaz).

"We are disappointed by the court's decision. Upon a thorough review of the judgment, we will decide whether to file an appeal. For decades, we have heavily invested in pioneering the development of technological innovations in the mobile industry, which have been constantly reflected in our products," a Samsung spokeswoman said in a statement.

This is all part of the ongoing, global legal battle. Apple and Samsung have filed more than 30 lawsuits against each other across four continents. For example, Apple alleges that Samsung copied the slide-to-unlock technology of its iPhone and iPad devices.

Apple has introduced an iMac especially configured for the education market, reports "Digital Trends" (http://tinyurl.com/azrkmu8). The all-in-one is US$150 less than its closest non-education counterpart.

For $1,100, schools and colleges can get a 3.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i3 machine with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The $1,100 desktop computer happens to be $100 more expensive than the education-only iMac it replaces, which was introduced over 18 months ago. The new machine, however, comes with a faster processor, more RAM and twice as much storage space.

Apple has urged a federal judge to dismiss a consumer lawsuit alleging the company maintains a monopoly over iPhone applications, reports "Bloomberg" (http://tinyurl.com/b7nofad).

Attorneys who filed the suit in 2011 claim that a monopoly exists because an iPhone user who doesn’t want to pay what developers charge for applications available through Apple’s App Store can’t go anywhere else to buy them. Apple requires iPhone software developers to turn over 30% of what they charge for an application, increasing prices and excluding competitors from the iPhone “aftermarket” of applications, they claim.

As noted by "Bloomberg," Apple doesn’t set the price for paid applications. Charging a price for distribution of a product on a new and unique platform doesn’t violate any antitrust laws, says Apple attorney Dan Wall.

Apple has launched the iBookstore in Japan featuring titles from major and independent publishers, including a selection of books from Kodansha, KADOKAWA, Bungeishunju, Gakken and Gentosha. It allows book lovers to browse, buy and read books on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

In Live 9's Session View, automation can now be recorded in real time directly within clips. Automation can move together with clips between Arrangement and Session View.
