I've been using an iPhone as my daily runner since the iPhone 3G, which I bought brand-new. Suffice to say, I am about as confirmed an iPhone user as you're likely to find. But despite having had few issues over the past four or so years, I have felt compelled to jump ship to Android with the HTC One, and here's why.

With the introduction of the Hulu Plus for Windows Phone app on Monday allowing it to finally be scrubbed from the list of "apps Windows Phone needs but doesn't yet have," a couple more significant apps for the platform have today seen updates. The Foursquare app has finally been updated for Windows Phone 8, while Microsoft has made some novel alterations to its home-cooked YouTube app. Details and the download link, as ever, can be found after the break.
Viber, the popular cross-platform VoIP service, has just been given a large-scale update. Both the Android and iOS versions of the app have been refreshed, and notably, Viber is also now available on both Windows and OS X. With 200 million users worldwide, Viber is right up there with Skype in terms of reach, and today's update is easily the most significant in its history. More details, as well as download links, are coming up after the jump.
Many of those looking to grab the new Samsung Galaxy S4 in the U.S. will have picked up the 16GB model, but if you have been waiting on the retail of the 32GB variant, you won't have to be waiting for much longer. The 32GB Galaxy S4 will go on sale from Friday, May 10th in the States as an AT&T exclusive, and will set you back $249.99 on a two-year contract. More details after the break.
After quite a long wait, the official Hulu Plus app has finally reached the Windows Phone Store, and we've got all of the details along with that all-important download link coming up after the break.
There's little doubt that, in its current state, multitasking in iOS is very limited in terms of functionality. In fact, it's about as one-dimensional a feature as any within the entire operating system, and with iOS 7 now well and truly on the horizon, it is something concept makers have really focused their attentions on in recent weeks. Ran Avni is yet another designer with fresh ideas of how iOS multitasking should play out in the future, delivering a rather intriguing concept which sees windows for different apps form a card-like UI.
The Sims franchise is the undisputed king of the real-life simulator, and Electronic Arts has just revealed that The Sims 4 will be arriving for both PC and Mac at some point next year. It has been almost four years since the release of the third Sims, and although some of the details have yet to be revealed, this is very exciting news for all Sims fans out there. More details can be found right after the jump.
The iWatch concepts have been rolling through thick and fast these past few months, and with Apple said to have a team of over 100 developers and engineers on the task of bringing such a device to market, it doesn't feel as much of a pipedream as it used to. Martin Hajek is one designer that has really taken to this particular Apple project, and having cooked up a number of concept designs already, has come through with yet another attractive set of iWatch renders. More details, plus lots of images, after the jump.
Bill Gates has stepped out and described Apple's iPad as "frustrating" to use, noting that the device should take a leaf from the book of Microsoft's Surface. He believes that iPad users miss key features such as the use of a physical keyboard and access to Microsoft Office, and if the Cupertino company were to take some cues from the Surface, owners of the Apple slate would enjoy a more gratifying experience.
Samsung does pretty well to pack in some impressive specs into its handsets, in particular those of its flagship Galaxy S range, but even though the 2012-released Galaxy S III packs in a very workable 1GB of RAM, sometimes, it doesn't seem to stretch far enough. Now, I wouldn't count myself as a Galaxy S III "user" as such, for I have never used one as my daily runner, but I do interact with the device several times a week, and one thing I've noticed is that even though there is a gig of RAM, it does seem to get used up rather quickly, and naturally, this brings about the rather unwanted issue of lag. If you feel your device also uses up a lot of RAM but you're uncertain of where it's all going, we have sensitive information which could well result in the successful recapture of some of that precious random-access memory; details after the leap!
