If you can't seem to decide between iOS, Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone, then worry not, when 2013 comes around there will be another new kid on the block in the form of Mozilla's Firefox OS. Although the company has been seeding early builds of the operating system to developers since summer and actually introduced it to the world during Mobile World Congress, there is little that we actually know about it.

Samsung may have been shrouded in a little bit of controversy over the last few weeks and had their public reputation somewhat tarnished, but that doesn't detract from the fact that they produce some fantastic and popular devices, that are in some cases, ahead of the competition in the industry. I am willing to go out on a limb and suggest that their legal wrangling's with Apple are far from over, with more to come surrounding Apple's request to have specific devices banned in the United States, but until that day in court comes upon us, there is some good news on the horizon for Samsung Galaxy S III owners.
It seems that every company in the smartphone and tablet industry is making some kind of announcement or holding an event to present a new product or service to the media at the minute. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that Apple is widely speculated to be introducing the next-generation iPhone in the next nine days, but putting cynicism aside, Nokia and Microsoft is the latest companies to make their own exciting announcement in the next few days.
If you happen to be a big fan of the Hollywood legend Bruce Willis, then I apologize in advance for not bringing you the latest news about his career and when his next blockbuster movie will be hitting the big screen. Best known for his role in some of the greatest action movies ever made such as Die Hard, The Last Boy Scout and the cult classic Pulp Fiction, it looks as though Willis is temporarily putting aside fighting on-screen villains and instead choosing to fight his next battle in the courtroom as he looks to extract some iTunes related privileges out of Apple.
The Galaxy S III handset brought with it a wide level of excitement from Android users who couldn't wait to get their hands on the powerful new device, but also from the wider technology loving community who couldn't wait to see which direction Samsung had taken with the successor to their insanely popular Galaxy S II smartphone. Judging from the sales figures of the S III, it doesn't look like consumers have been disappointed with the hardware, but there was one feature that was widely expected to be included, and was notably missing in action at release.
If you are an iPhone or iPod touch owner who regularly takes decent looking photographs then the time has come to shed the shackles of mediocrity and accelerate your image capturing abilities to the next level.
It's more than feasible to assume that even though we still haven't had any official confirmation from Apple HQ regarding the purported media event that is expected to be taking place in ten days time, the company is in advanced stages of actually planning what they will be announcing to the world when the day actually comes.
If you are a Mac owner who has taken the plunge and upgraded to Apple's latest Mountain Lion operating system, then you may find that everything that Apple have chosen to include is a definite upgrade from previous versions, but unfortunately the issue occurs with the things that the company have decided to remove.
It seems that tweeting is the new form of texting these days, and if you aren't a part of the Twitter using clan, then I would highly recommend you register yourself and see what all the fuss is about. The popularity of Twitter is increasingly obvious due to the massive array of third-party apps and clients popping up everyday for different desktop and mobile platforms. One of the latest to find it's way into the mobile world is the Voice Tweet app that does pretty much as the name suggests.
Considering Facebook is the largest social network in the world with over 900 million registered members and Apple's iOS being one of the most popular mobile operating systems available, it stands to reason that a seriously large percentage of Facebook's mobile users will be visiting the site from the iOS Facebook app. Unfortunately for those users, the app itself offered a pretty terrible experience until recently when the Palo Alto-based company called the experts in to produce a native iOS experience, a move that brought notable speed and stability improvements and a number of small user-interface tweaks.
