Because of just how many liberties Android offers before you even root your phone, apps that replace built-in functionality like the keyboard, launcher, and our category of interest today, the gallery app are very popular. We’ve covered a good variety of high quality gallery replacements over the last few months, and we’ve come across another interesting gallery app today called iGallery. Check it out after the jump.

iPhone 5 Sales To Exceed 8 Million During Launch Weekend, 46.5 Million iPhones To Be Sold In Q1 2013
As we’ve been reporting over the past few days, the iPhone 5 is selling like hotcakes / lemonade / gangbusters. Whether it’s technology enthusiasts, bloggers, cellular networks, or Apple itself, no one expected 2 million pre-orders in under 24 hours; it is an unmatched number in the smartphone industry. Now, the question is: will the iPhone 5 continue its momentum through the launch weekend, and further through the quarter? According to multiple analysts, the answer is a resounding “yes!” Details after the jump.
While the iPhone 5 remains one of the hottest news topic for almost the entirety of the technology blogosphere, Microsoft has silently sent out invites for the launch event of their upcoming desktop operating system Windows 8. As expected, the date is in the last few days of the month of October. Check out all the details after the jump.
As many technology enthusiasts and bloggers will tell you, the iPhone 5 might be a bit of a disappointment. Apple may be calling it the “biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone”, but I still believe that that description is for the iPhone 4 which introduced a sensational new design, considerably faster internals and, of course, the industry leading Retina display - significant improvements over the 3GS. Compared to that, the iPhone 5’s main new features include a tweaked, taller design and display, faster internals and support for 4G LTE - a wireless technology that is available only in very selected regions around the globe.
A few days ago, I reviewed Wonderful Days for iOS – an app that lets you maintain a diary / journal on the go. In that post, I mentioned Momento for people who wanted their journal entries to have more context in the form of tweets and Facebook updates they’ve posted online; I thought it would be a nice thing to review Momento on its own as it is a whole lot more than a diary with tweets / status updates.

Both at the Yerba Buena Center keynote and later online, Apple made no mention at all of the specifications of the new A6 chip or the RAM inside the iPhone 5. It’s not even made known if the chip is dual-core or quad-core; we only found out about that yesterday when the folks over at AnandTech did some digging and discovered some very interesting things about it. Well, the same folks have now come up with information regarding the quantity, design and speed of RAM inside iPhone 5. Check it out after the jump.
After four iterations, Apple has upped the display size of the iPhone from 3.5 to 4-inches, with an appropriate increase in resolution (1136 x 640). It is arguably the biggest feature of the iPhone 5 for most people, as the other big feature - 4G LTE - is still restricted to limited to a select number of cities in the U.S. and Europe.
According to multiple publications, Microsoft has internally signed off Windows Phone 8 as “code complete” or, in more formal terms, released to manufacturing (RTM). Check out the details after the jump.
S Voice for Galaxy S III may look and work a lot like Siri for iPhone 4S, but it has been shown in multiple tests that both voice-based services are, in most ways, inferior to Google Now that comes built-in with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Now that Apple has officially revealed the iPhone 5, it’s time we compare it against previous iPhone - the 4S. Check out the full comparison after the jump!
