You'd have to have been living in a cave earlier this year to miss the whole Flappy Bird saga. Becoming hugely popular on the App Store and Play Store almost overnight, Flappy Bird raked in huge sums of money for its creator Dong Nguyen on an apparently daily basis. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to keep him happy though, and his newfound fame - or should that be infamy - caused him to pull the game and almost disappear.
If what they say about imitation and flattery is true, then the folks at Apple must be pretty darn flattered right now after Xiaomi showed off the new version of their particular flavor of Android - MIUI 6.
Motorola's Moto 360 is undoubtedly the nicest smartwatch to look at, and coming a while after both LG and Samsung opened the Android Wear market with the G Watch and Gear Live, Motorola should have had enough time to learn from its competition's mistakes.
Phones and tablets now routinely come with built-in gyroscopes, and our watches are well on their way to becoming sensor laden as well, so it's worth knowing what all these little sensors are capable of. That gyroscope for instance, did you know that it could also be used to steal credit card numbers?
Google’s Android Wear is one of the next big things in the technology world, and the company is ensuring that you don’t miss out on that. The Mountain View company has just released a number of ads for the Android Wear (four, to be exact) that showcase how useful the new form of gadgets can be, and what cool features they have on offer.
There are many ways to evaluate a Wi-Fi network. You can either go for the hands-on visual approach by looking at the Wi-Fi signal bars, or just run a regular speed test and see the general performance of a network. But a regular speed test doesn’t tell the complete story as it's usually done on server side to check Internet speed, not local wireless network's speed. This is where a handy app for iPhone and Android comes in.
Motorola has sent out invitations to a special press event to be held on September 4th, and along with the impressive-looking Moto 360 smartwatch, the formerly Google-owned company will take the wraps off two new smartphones and some kind of head-mounted gadget. It's quite an exciting prospect, particularly given that Samsung is likely to take the wraps off the Note 4 and, in all likelihood, another addition to its 'Gear' smartwatch line-up the day before on September 3rd. Unlike Samsung's event, which will head off IFA in Berlin, Germany, Motorola's big announcements will take place in Chicago, United States, and as well as more info regarding the beautiful Moto 360, the successor to the heavily-lauded Moto X should also be on the agenda.
Samsung may have impressed with the Galaxy S5, but even the beautiful display and rear-facing shooter of the company's flagship hasn't stopped one of Android's powerhouses from delivering a bunch of models since then. As well as the snap-happy Galaxy K (or S5 Zoom), the Korean company just took the wraps off the Galaxy Alpha, a mid-to-high-end handset with a slick, metal-fused design, and although each of these devices have their share of strengths, the Galaxy Note 4 is the one that everybody has been waiting for. If you're a Samsung fan but decided to skip the S5, then there's a good chance that you're after the fourth installment to the famed phablet series, and now, we may finally have the nailed-on list of tech. specs courtesy of an Indonesian retailer.
Samsung's long tradition of using Apple's own advertising campaigns against it shows no sign of abating with the recently introduced 'Wall Hugger' line of TV ads, but now the Korean firm has gone a step further by moving its campaign to a new battleground - the airport power outlet.
Last year's announcement and subsequent release of the iPhone 5s brought quite a few surprises along with it. Sure, we suspected long before the September showcasing that it would include a fingerprint sensor, gold color configuration and several other such treats, but even though we anticipated the customary processor bump, the 64-bit architecture of the Apple A7 caught everybody off-guard. It was a first in the smartphone industry, and while we expect the iPhone 6 to follow suit sometime next month, it also won't be too long before Android L releases adopt 64-bit SoCs as standard.
