Samsung and Apple’s international court drama continues to heat up, folks. After having sales ban for their Galaxy Tab 10.1 extended by a week, good news has come up for the Korean company in the form of a US court denying Apple of a preliminary ban on sales of Samsung products.
A few days ago a video surfaced of one YouTube user comparing the abilities of Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Tellme software. With Siri found on the new iPhone 4S and Tellme being part of Windows Phone 7, it was really only a matter of time before the two were compared head-to-head.
Microsoft is stepping up their game to compete with their rival, the iPad. According to a new report by Electronista, Windows 8 on ARM tablets may ditch the traditional desktop to a Metro only design. The move seems to be a reversal from original suggestions from the tech giant.
With Samsung recently managing to convince an appeals court to lift the sales ban placed on its Galaxy Tab device, many thought that we might be coming to the end of the long, drawn-out saga which has seen Samsung and Apple fight tooth and nail. Apparently, they were wrong. Apple has now been successful in asking for a one week extension of the ban, apparently in order to give the iPad manufacturer time to appeal the decision.
Social networks such as Facebook and Google+ (well, mostly Facebook) have become increasingly popular over the years. Benefits include being able to stay in touch and interacting with more people at the same time and making new friends along the way. They also help remind you of important events, birthdays and anniversaries that you otherwise may miss or forget. They do have their downsides too.
It’s been quite a steady year for mobile OS usage this year. Worldwide, the top eight mobile OS platforms have relatively stayed in their same positions, in terms of usage, for most of the year. While Symbian OS has kept its throne successfully, the real action is between iOS and Android.
If you're an iPhone 4S owner then the chances are you're also a fan of Siri, Apple's latest big thing. The idea behind Siri is actually a simple one - to help make interacting with your iPhone as simple as asking it a question, or asking it to perform a task. Using real language, Siri should, at least in theory, be able to understand what you want and then act upon it.
Because of their tight integration with iTunes, easy to use software and powerful features, iOS devices generally get higher satisfaction rates than, say, Android devices which, despite being quite powerful, aren’t as easy to use (this is coming from an Android enthusiast). The latest smartphone from Apple - the iPhone 4S - is no exception as results of a recent survey indicate that the iPhone 4S has the highest customer satisfaction ratings for any Apple smartphone yet. Details after the jump!
Over the last couple of weeks various reports have begun circulating that some Android, Nokia and BlackBerry smartphones feature a piece of software which logs certain key software events, as well as keeping track of some hardware functions, too. The world is up in arms about the whole thing, as it tends to be when anything even remotely related to privacy rears its ugly head.
Fire can be a wonderful thing, you just ask the cavemen! Those flickering orange flames aren't so great when they're emitting from your smartphone, though.
