The My Xbox LIVE app only dropped for Android a couple of days ago (released contemporaneously with a significant update to the iOS iteration), but already, Microsoft has released Kinectimals for Android - rendering it the very first Microsoft game for Google's market-leading mobile operating system.

Whilst many features of the next iPhone device remain a rumor or mystery, the consensus seems to be that the unofficially-dubbed "iPhone 5" device will be the first Apple smartphone to include a 4G LTE chip. With that in mind, it has now emerged that Taiwanese company Qualcomm is gearing itself up to produce it.
There is an almost incomprehensible number of apps purporting to be the pinnacle of photo editing on iOS, but in actual fact, very few actually deliver the goods. Fuelled by the rise of Instagram, which, in itself, isn't particularly wonderful for touching up images, the number of new variations of the image editor are streaming through Apple's iconic App Store on a near hourly basis.
Although Android is the most popular mobile OS in terms of reach and daily activations of devices, developers still tend to favor Apple's iOS when it comes to releasing new apps and games.

From a remote to a mouse, a keyboard to a speaker, a little software nous can easily save you money and time.

But just when you might have thought that was it, one particular developer has created a mod which allows iOS apps to run on the almost-forgotten PlayBook tablet.
According to a report over at The Korea Times, the country's leading electronics manufacturer Samsung is to light the proverbial blue touch paper at Facebook et al by launching its very own social network offering.
With WWDC wrapped up and iOS 6 now seeding to developers, the Apple-swayed community has well and truly set its sights on the next iPhone, which, depending on which report you read, is said to be shipping from September or October.
Apple certainly delivered the goods at WWDC, and although most were pleased with iOS 6, Mountain Lion, and the hardware upgrades across the board, the introduction of the new "next-gen" MacBook Pro with Retina display was certainly a sight for sore eyes.
The remote desktop market has soared thanks to the introduction of tablets, with businesses large and small - as well as individuals - able to use their computers remotely in an easy and convenient manner while on-the-fly.
