The mobile gaming world is certainly not bereft of superhero titles. In fact, they're incredibly popular, and now, it's the turn of Captain America to take center stage. The forthcoming title for iOS and Android, which is entitled 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' is being developed by Gameloft, and will be hitting both the App Store and Google Play Store late next month.

The iOS jailbreak game is an ongoing cat-and-mouse battle between the developers who spend their time seeking holes in the iOS software to exploit, and Apple, the company behind said software. The jailbreak community, or specifically, the Evad3rs team, really threw down the gauntlet to the Cupertino company with the release of Evasi0n7, a universal untethered jailbreak utility for all devices running the latest software, but having already taken steps to plug some of the kernel exploits with iOS 7.1 beta 4, the fifth beta shows even more signs that Apple is taking steps to foil the efforts of the jailbreakers.
It's no secret that Microsoft is rather struggling in the mobile industry, with the uptake and general market share of Windows Phone devices having not improved a great deal since its inception as Windows Phone 7. But Microsoft is trying its utmost to get folks on board, and right now, is offering a free Nokia Lumia 520 as leverage to anybody willing to purchase an Xbox Music pass. Although the device is mid-range in every sense of the phrase, it's still a free handset, and since it nicely ties in with the Xbox / Windows family, surely any prospective Xbox Music subscriber would find some use for it.
Apple has just rolled out iOS 7.1 beta 5 download, which carries the build number 5B103i. Details on how to update / download iOS 7.1 beta 5 on your iPhone or iPad are given below. As ever, it contains a number of fixes and general enhancements, and we've got all of the info right here.
Samsung already took a stab at the Windows Phone 8 market with the ATIV range, and is now back with a bigger, badder model for Windows Phone 8.1. According to a snap posted by the ever-reliable Evleaks Twitter handle, the device is codenamed "Huron" (model SM-W750V), and as well as looking very much similar to the Galaxy S4 (as the ATIV S rather did the Galaxy S3), it will also be carried by Verizon Wireless in the United States.
In what will undoubtedly be the biggest news story of the day in the technology industry, Microsoft has announced that Satya Nadella will be taking the helm as the company's next CEO. The outgoing Steve Ballmer announced his retirement back in August of last year, and since then, there has naturally been quite a bit of speculation regarding who would fill these rather large shoes. Now Nadella, who has been with the Redmond-based software maker for 22 years, becomes only the third CEO in the company's near 40-year history after co-founder Bill Gates and Ballmer.
Instant messaging apps are ubiquitous, but although we all have our favorite third-party utilities such as WhatsApp, Skype, and others, the stock Messages app for iOS still gets plenty of use. This goes a long way to explaining why we have currently such a large count of tweaks being made specifically for Messages, and while there are swathes of great, powerful, and robust tweaks for this very purpose within Cydia, sometimes, we only want to make a subtle alteration here and there. MessageRenamer7 falls squarely within this category, allowing you to tidy up your list of messages by renaming them to whatever you like.
Dell is one of the foremost manufacturers of desktop computers, notebooks, monitors, and other such peripherals based around computing. In recent years, it has tried with a notable amount of gusto to tap into the hybrid market, with some success. But in an ad for its latest laptop-plus-tablet, it makes the cardinal sin of showing both Windows 8 and OS X at the very same time. With a simple sideways gesture, the user seems to move from the Start Screen to a Mac app, and although there are ways of running both of these operating systems on one machine, Dell certainly didn't intend to market this fact to the world.
The fortunes of Apple TV have completely transformed during the past year or so, with the Cupertino's set-top box having been dragged from relative obscurity to now being a serious contender in the battle for supremacy in the ever-evolving TV market. Speaking of battles, it looks like Apple TV users will have plenty to look forward to, with today's news that the World Wrestling Entertainment Network Channel will be joining its roster from the 24th of this month. Details after the break.
The Cydget tweak, released by Cydia creator Saurik, has long since offered a novel way for jailbreakers to widgetize their iOS lock screens, and with support for iOS 7, other developers have been hard at work updating and creating widgets for the masses. iOS 7 LockScreen Weather is one such Cydget theme, and although there are no prizes on offer for those managing to guess what it does, you may instead be surprised by how elegant it appears when installed.
