As we approach October - the probable release of the next generation iPhone 5S and the rumored budget iPhone - the rumor mill and leaks are piling up even further, and in much larger amounts than ever before. Now, Macotakara has posted a leaked video that shows in much better detail the front and back panels of what could most likely be the new, rumored “budget” iPhone. Video just past the jump.

Among other things, Google’s primary and biggest source of revenue, should you ever look at the company’s financials, turns out to be advertisement revenue. Google makes most of its income stream from the ads business that it runs, and it’s been doing that successfully for years. What’s even better is the fact that Google shares the ad revenue with its publishing partners, as well, through its AdSense program.
Usually, the utility of torrent downloaders remains limited to desktop computers, and the concept of downloading torrents on smartphones and even tablets remains somewhat alien. The whole idea of grabbing torrent based content on the move also gets bogged down by the fact that there isn’t much variety of torrent clients available for major smartphone platforms, such as iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
Almost everyone has seen Minority Report, and why not - that blockbuster flick was decades ahead of its time in terms of the technological and computing innovation that it presented. One particular theme from the Tom Cruise flick that stuck with viewers and tech enthusiasts for a long time was being able to control and manipulate computer interfaces through gestures and body movement. A lot of developers and companies have attempted to incorporate that one way or the other, with the most successful example being Microsoft’s Kinect accessory for its Xbox consoles.
Google has taken a leaf out of Apple’s book and announced Google Play Textbooks and Play Games, providing a textbook renting and buying mechanism for students, and offering a gaming portal for Android gamers. We’ll be taking a closer look at both right past the break.
The big day is finally here, with Google finally announcing Android 4.3 Jelly Bean as being the latest operating system for smartphones and tablets. The good news this time around is the fact that Google has not delayed the availability for Android 4.3 for its users - heck, you don’t even have to wait for an OTA update to show up on your Nexus device, as the factory images for all current Nexus devices - the ones to receive the update first and foremost - are available for download officially. We’ll provide the links right after the jump.
Google’s dominance in the internet and technology world is beyond question, as the Mountain View company has released a myriad of products and introduced platforms that have left biting a lot of competition in the dust. The Chrome browser is one of the most popular - if not the most - internet browsers in existence today, and Google’s customer base in terms of its applications and productivity suites continues to grow. Today, Google takes another step forward, making available in Chrome App Launcher for all users of Windows 8 and Windows 7 operating systems.
Google’s event in San Francisco on July 24 seems to be just around the corner, and as the highly anticipated date approaches, leaks and rumors seem to have increased manifold. Now, thanks to Android Central, we’re seeing what might be some leaked photos of the new 7 tablet in the Nexus line up.
One of the biggest challenges faced with using a Windows Phone device is the lack of customization options. The operating system is beautifully designed, there’s no denying that, but there’s pretty much nothing that you can do to spice up your Windows Phone experience. In Microsoft’s OEM partners, Nokia remains the only one that has had any luck changing some aspects of the operating system, but only within certain limits. Now, it seems that independent developers have taken it upon themselves to come up with concept apps that could actually serve as a guideline for Microsoft (or Nokia, for that matter) to understand how it’s properly done. Meet Nokia sWiPe, a new app debuted for free on the Windows Phone store that vitalizes the concept of a notification center on Windows Phone, as well as borrowing certain features from the likes of MeeGo. More past the jump.
The thing about Android that I love and appreciate the most is the fact that almost every area of the OS is customizable, all the way from the appearance and outlook to the actual working of the device, down to CPU speed and voltage controls. That said, there is always, almost invariably, room for “something more”. We have the ability to set custom DPI values for individual apps thanks to ROMs like Paranoid Android, allowing the user to experience a tablet UI on a phone with an abnormally large screen. Why not have more for individual apps as well?
