Rarely does a new tweak come along for jailbroken iPhones that not only manages to become an instant favorite amongst the community but also creates demand for the creators to extend the offering to additional devices. On the whole Cydia based tweaks generally have a fairly limited shelf life and can be thought of as disposable downloads and purchases, with only a few managing to permanently manage to capture a place on a user's liberated iOS device. The original release of Auxo for iPhone and iPod touch by A3 Tweaks instantly became one of those loved packages with the good news being that the supported device range has been extended with the dedicated Auxo for iPad now available to purchase through Cydia.
Apple TV has managed to transcend beyond being just a little "hobby" device for the Cupertino based company, and now finds itself as one of the company's main media-based consumer products. Although, the intelligent little black box is powered by a modified version of iOS, it doesn't have all of the same functionality that we see on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, such as almost unlimited third-party apps that can be accessed through the App Store. Apple has managed to thrash out deals with various high profile companies to bring their content to the media device, but there are still some services - like Plex - that aren't supported much to the distress of some users.
We initially had the Samsung Galaxy S4. Then came the more compact and sleek Galaxy S4 mini. They say that good things always come in threes and that certainly seems to be the case as Samsung has today announced the Galaxy S4 Active smartphone to accompany the previous two releases of the S4. The Galaxy S4 Active is described as being the "perfect companion for exploration, activity and adventure" and will offer all of the technical power of the flagship Galaxy S4 but packed into a robust and ingress protected case for outdoor use.
It's generally accepted that iOS powered devices are amongst the most secure devices that are currently available in the consumer mobile market. This isn't to say that Apple has built an impenetrable device that isn't susceptible to any kind of attack, but it has been proven time and time again that hardware running Android and other available operating systems are an easier nut to crack for more malicious minded amongst us.
Whenever we hit the point where a new version of iOS is in testing, we generally hear about the potential for the OS X AirDrop functionality to make it onto our mobile devices. We all know this has never happened yet, but the latest rumor suggests that Apple are internally testing a build of iOS 7 that contains the AirDrop wireless file-transfer functionality. More details can be found right after the jump.
We know what you're thinking; why do different app marketplaces for each mobile platform need a plethora of third-party alarm apps, when the native implementation does the job perfectly well? We have to agree to a certain extent and have always found that the simplistic alarm feature on our iPhone or Galaxy S III does a perfectly good job of getting us up in the morning. With that said, there's always room for a little innovation regardless of the app genre. And it looks like AlarMe for Android app combines necessary alarm features with a very clever weather based twist.
Google has taken to its official Glass page on Google+ this Friday to reveal a short, but very informative post surrounding the potential for facial recognition apps on the Glass platform. Many technology enthusiasts have often complained that Google has shown signs of operating less than moral policies in the past, but their current stance on apps which come bundled with facial recognition for Glass is all set to take the moral and privacy based high ground. Read on for more details.
Regardless of personal opinion on Google, it's pretty fair to say that a significant portion of technology enthusiasts make use of at least one of their products - or services - on a day-to-day basis. A large section of us regularly allow the company to handle our email needs through Gmail, and it's been evident in recent times that Google has been working fairly tirelessly in an attempt to enhance its extremely popular email offering and make everything a little less cluttered for all of us. The latest of those efforts has manifested itself with a fairly significant update to Gmail for web and mobile based users, that now offers a tabbed inbox experience with mails sorted into varying categories for easier organization.
Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S4 mini smartphone, and we have all the details about said handset put together in one place. Check it out after the jump.
