Eco-friendly iPhone users, this one’s for you. Case-Mate, the popular phone case maker, unveiled a new rPET (as in “recyclable PET”) collection of green iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S cases. Made out of 100% recycled post-consumer PET bottles, each case is made from one recycled water bottle. You can choose between few color options, including Lipstick Pink, Tangerine Tango, Lime, Turquoise, Black and White. The price you ask? It’s $30 per case.

But that’s not all — to get some media love for its green collection, Case-Mate will showcase the new products as part of the DASANI Designed to Make a Difference experiential tour, which kicked off on April 17th at Saint Catherine University in Minnesota. The tour consists of some 50 event days spanning college campuses, amusement parks, and music festivals from April through October.

A new survey conducted by Guohe among mobile users in China reveals who is buying mobile apps, user preferences for iOS or Android, and user tolerance for ads appearing in their apps. Here are the highlights:

• 54% of users interviewed had Android phones, and 39% had jailbroken iPhones.
• Users were most accepting of ads within news apps and least tolerant of them in apps such as photography, graphics, or even location and map apps.
• Gaming as a category is a hit with both iOS and Android users, and it works well for advertisers.
• iPhones tend to be more expensive than their Android counterparts in China, with iOS users gravitating toward game, utility and shopping apps. On the other hand, Android users are more into reading apps.
• Only 23% of the study’s Android users ever purchased any apps, while about 25% of iPhone users surveyed prefer paid apps that are ad-free.
• Only 13% of Android users would rather buy an app that is ad-free rather than get a free app monetized by inserted ads.

And you can see how all this comes together from the following infographic…

Minneapolis, MN, May 10, 2012 –(PR.com)– The dictionary software team at Ultralingua is at it again. In response to Ultralingua user requests, they are rolling out a huge round of updates to 29 of their best dictionary apps. The update to version 1.5 is available in the App Store now (http://bit.ly/xHluo3).

Mobile dictionary users will appreciate the intuitive design and effortless features of Ultralingua version 1.5. The apps contain reworked features that heighten the language dictionary experience: infinite scrolling, retina art and ability to copy terms from the dictionary to paste into other apps.

Infinite scrolling

After Ultralingua for iPad users named infinite scrolling their most loved feature, Ultralingua decided to bring it to the iPhone version so all users could browse related entries more easily. With the infinite scroll function, dictionary users can search once and then browse through the dictionary alphabetically in either direction. Users simply swipe vertically to scroll through hundreds of thousands of entries.

Watch Ultralingua’s video highlighting this feature to see it in action (http://bit.ly/ultra15ios).

“We know our users probably won’t want to search forever through the hundreds of thousands of terms,” Ultralingua’s Chief Technology Officer Jeff Ondich said, “But sometimes you just want to see the nearby term without starting your search over again. Connecting the entries this way makes the dictionary apps much easier to use. Of course, we kept our advanced search technology in place, since some users will always prefer to jump straight to the next term they need.”

Retina display upgrades

New retina art illuminates the iPad version to make any dictionary search look fantastic. The crisp retina display allows users to look at larger amounts of text with clearer results. Users can zoom into crystal clear words and images without any fuzziness obstructing the view. With updated text and icons, the 1.5 version utilizes the iPad’s new retina display to the fullest extent.

Copy dictionary entries

The option to copy dictionaries to paste into other applications is back and better than ever in this update. Both the iPhone and iPad versions of the universal Ultralingua dictionary apps

Ready to hear some more new iPhone and iPad rumors? Well, everyones favorite Apple rumor starter, Digitimes, has gotten word that Pegatron Technology has landed orders for a new-generation iPhone to be launched in September and a 10-inch iPad to be launched in the fourth quarter. Pegatron is currently an OEM for the iPhone 4S and new iPad.

The company has already gotten its work staff expanded to properly handle the high demand for the for next upcoming generations of the two wildly popular iProducts. Furthermore, the chinese-based site is still holding true to the launch of a 7-inch iPad made by Foxconn. Digitimes got the scoop from its usual Taiwan-based supply chain makers. Pegatron makes other products, but the company is focused in on meeting Apple’s orders.

To mainly focus on Apple’s orders, Pegatron has also internally decided to downsize its SI motherboard department and to shift resources to Apple’s orders. Since Asustek has been reducing its motherboard orders to Pegatron, while gross margins are also rather low, the shifting in resources is expected to benefit Pegatron in its operations, the sources noted.

Like we always say over at IntoMobile, please take this with a heavy dose of salt, as nothing is official. Expect to see the Apple rumor mill ratchet up in the next couple of months as the summer begins to approach.
