Things have looked bleak for BlackBerry for quite a while now, with Apple and Google eating its lunch both in the enterprise and consumer markets. As Microsoft's Windows Phone also begins to take aim at what was once a proud BlackBerry market share, the Canadian firm was rumored to be on the verge of a reshuffle that would see approximately 40% of its workforce cut.

We at Redmond Pie have been seeing iOS 7.0.1 and .1 in the logs for weeks now, with the volume of hits growing as the time has passed, as can be seen in the screenshots below.
It may still be a week until FIFA 14 gets its console release, but that doesn't mean that those packing an iOS device can't get their (proper) football on.

As ever present on the App Store as well as just about every other mobile marketplace, Gameloft has made some of the most well received titles to ever grace a smartphone. That's why when Gameloft released Asphalt 8: Airborne, everyone took notice.
The world may be waiting for September 20th before it can get its collective hands on Apple's new flagship phone, but the folks at Burberry are getting early access to the iPhone 5s, with the clothing and accessory maker set to use the new handset for a fashion show on September 16th.
