The technology industry is an extremely vibrant and ever-growing space to be a part of. Innovation and coming up with different approaches to existing ideas is always an approach that is rewarded by consumers, but the market is also very reliant on trends and what is generally perceived to be the " in thing" at any particular time. Smartphones and tablets are looking likely to always be popular going forward, but companies are falling over themselves at the moment to penetrate the market with a so-called "smart watch". South Korean based Samsung Electronics are no different with a recent trademark filing confirming that their in-development wrist wear will be released under the Galaxy Gear name, which has been commonly known as the Galaxy Smart Watch for quite a while.

In a move that is likely to grab the attention of those potential consumers sitting on the fence, Microsoft have taken the decision to slash $100 off the price of Surface Pro. The Redmond based company is no stranger to price reductions when it comes to the Surface. It was only last month that they reduced the price of all Surface RT hardware by $150, a move that many seem to think signals the company's intention to refresh the line in the near future.
If you happen to be an avid Apple Inc. fan, or just a general lover of innovative and influential technology then it's always good to have a trip down nostalgia lane. The Jobs movie - starring Ashton Kutcher - is set for an August 16th release in theatres around the United States. In preparation for that launch, Open Road Films have released a new clip from the movie that not only gives us a taste of what to expect, but also takes us on a trip down memory lane to learn how one of the world's richest companies came to have the Apple Computers name.
The rumors surrounding the existence of a lower-cost, budget based iPhone simply won't seem to go away and have even accelerated to the point where a number of sources are suggesting that the device is already in production. Although the alleged hardware is yet to be confirmed - or strenuously denied - by any official source, a number of leaked components that are said to be from the device could potentially give an insight into the expected specification.
The Temple Run franchise has undoubtedly been one of the many success stories of the iOS and Google Play Stores. If you are an owner of an iOS or Android device, and are into mobile gaming then the first and second iterations of Temple Run will more than likely have a permanent home in your 'Games' folder. The idea of running through expansive jungle environments while trying to evade being captured by an evil monkey definitely appeals to our primal early-man instincts. But now, things have gotten a little more extreme with an app update that offers gamers the chance to play as the fastest man on the planet - Usain Bolt.
We should all know by now that when it comes to pre-release versions of iOS there is generally no stone left unturned by those investigative minds that love nothing more than ripping through the internals to see what they can find. The latest iOS 7 beta SDK release is no different, and this time it seems that a keen-eyed developer has cottoned on to Apple testing out an enhanced iPad mini, evidence of which is located deep inside of a hidden file within the SDK.
If you’re the type of individual who want their music under control at a party then the chances are high that Algoriddim are on your radar. Their vjay and djay apps for the iPhone and iPad have gone down with a storm with audio and video mashup loving individuals, but when you're at the top of your game, and the fire is hot, there's always room for an additional release. Algoriddim have today pounced on that fire by introducing djay 2 for iOS , and take it from us - it's hot.
Best Buy is usually known for their ability to be on the ball when it comes to the latest technology releases, but this time, they even outdone themselves. In an effort to ramp up interest in Google's new Nexus 7 tablet ahead of today's Android press event, the company has listed the 16 and 32GB variants of the new tablet for pre-order on their official website. Not only do they have the two models available for immediate order, but they also list extensive details pertaining to the technical specifications of the device. More details can be found right after the jump!
One of the great things about being able to jailbreak an iOS device is the ability to have the freedom to customize and amend specific areas of the device in question. There's no denying that Apple produces premium, extremely powerful pieces of kit, but sometimes not everything is to our liking and it definitely benefits power users to be able to tweak key areas. The new Gotha iPhone and iPod touch tweak definitely falls into that category by bringing a new gesture based initiative into the Contacts and Phone app on the device.
According to reports coming from executives within official supply chains, Apple is in the middle of testing large-form displays that could potentially be used as part of any future iPhone or iPad product refresh. The fresh reports are suggesting that the Cupertino based company has been working closely with Asian suppliers on a number of potential changes that could include the release of a significantly larger iPad model, or even an iPhone phablet.
