Apple’s iOS does a pretty good job at performing as an excellent mobile operating system and is debatably one of the best options available, if not the best. With that said, when it comes to the finer details of how the operating system works, users are obviously going to have differing opinions on how things should be implemented. The goal for Apple, or any similar company for that matter, is to produce something that attempts to satisfy the majority.

While Samsung’s yet-to-be-released Galaxy S III device has divided the opinions of the tech world, from a software point of view, it boasts a fair amount of exclusives – many of which users of other Android devices are dying to get their hands on.

Imgupr is a new iPhone and iPad app that makes getting images and photos from an iOS device and into Reddit or Imgur, as easy as possible. Oh, and it’s free.

Android on tablets is something of a mixed bag. Effectively taking the smartphone incarnation of Android and turning into a larger version, Google added a few visual niceties that some would argue still don’t quite take advantage of the extra screen space afforded by something like a tablet.

Tennis has to be one of the most underrated but highly contested sports around. When it comes to major tournaments, they don’t come any bigger than the French Open, otherwise known as Les Internationaux de France de Roland-Garros. Named after French aviator Roland Garros, the French Open spans across a period of two weeks and features some of the best tennis players in the world all coming together on the clay courts of the Stade Roland Garros.

It’s always nice to wake up to some good news relating to the jailbreak scene, and that is exactly what has happened this morning. Continuing the tradition of keeping his fans and users informed, French researcher and jailbreak producer Pod2g has taken to his Twitter timeline to let the jailbreak loving world know that the up and coming jailbreak 5.1.1 untethered should be ready for a public outing in the next few days.

As far as weeks go, the last seven days haven’t been too bad for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Following the well-documented IPO, which saw his web company valued at over $100 billion, he’s announced – via none other than his 900 million strong social network – that he has gotten married.

Samsung’s Galaxy S III announcement was either a roaring success or an abysmal failure, depending on your affiliations. Regardless of your feelings on the phone or indeed that whacky announcement event, what you cannot ignore is the fact that Samsung’s software is arguably the star of the show. Or that was the plan.

The iPhone 4 and 4S are two of the best looking smartphones on the market, with their all metal and glass finish giving an impression of class. The problem with having so much glass on a smartphone though – the iPhone 4/4S has glass on both the front and back of the device – is that it can get scratched all too easily.

When purchasing a PC from one of the main manufacturers, the “unboxing” experience is swiftly marred by the barrage of unnecessary programs pre-loaded onto the computer. Known as “bloatware”, it can be anything from free trials of various internet security suites, to vendor-specific programs – none of which the consumer has asked for.

Predicting the weather is a notoriously difficult affair. While the technology used to predict what the weather will do has improved greatly over the years, as has the end result, it is a well known fact that trusting the weatherman is still not the easiest thing in the world to do.

Camera-based apps for Apple’s iPhone aren’t exactly in short supply, and while they all use the same quality of camera, the results from app to app can differ greatly. Some of the more popular ones can yield fantastic results, but the indifference of many image and photo apps mean it’s always good to do a little research before parting with any money.

All the talk right now is of the next iPhone. There have been rumors about everything from whether the new handset will sport a 4G radio, to how large the screen will be this time around.

More legal shenanigans today, with the news that Motorola is on the receiving end of some bad news with regards to an existing spat with Microsoft over the use of technology inside Android tablets and smartphones.

Regardless of how much Apple improve iOS – their mobile operating system – there are always going to be parts of the software that just don’t sit right with users. Unfortunately, you can’t please everyone all the time, but the technology giants could do a little bit more to implement certain features and capabilities that seem like a glaringly obvious omission from the OS.

The latest leg in the long running, never ending and exceedingly tiresome legal battle between Apple and Samsung sees the Cupertino firm once again seeking an injunction against the Korean firm’s Galaxy Tab slate.

Cydia is overflowing with packages, tweaks and extensions relating to pretty much every part of iOS, but one area that hasn’t really received a great deal of third-party developer attention is the Mobile Safari web browser that ships as part of the OS. Granted, it is a pretty decent web browser by default, but nothing is perfect, and like a lot of other parts of Apple’s mobile operating system, it needs some work.

In my opinion, iOS developers who exist within the jailbreak community should be placed high up on a pedestal and praised for their efforts in making Apple’s mobile operating system a nicer and more functional piece of software to use. Don’t get me wrong, a stock installation of iOS is still an iconic piece of work, but with the help of a few carefully chosen tweaks and packages, it becomes almost perfect.

When an individual makes the kind of impact Steve Jobs managed to make in the consumer electronics industry, more often than not, a movie is made to offer a deeper, dramatized insight into proceedings – particularly when that individual has passed away. Such was the impact of the late, great Apple co-founder, that there are two movies being produced contemporaneously, both of which will undoubtedly claim to offer the most accurate, entertaining account of Jobs’ life.

Although Microsoft has born the brunt of much criticism throughout the tech industry over the years, the Redmond-based software maker has had a comparatively good last couple of years. The Xbox 360 is the number one console, Windows Phone is growing steadily, and the Windows 8 Consumer Preview dropped earlier this year to widespread critical acclaim.
