Only two days ago, Google officially released one of their most not-so-secret products in recent months, a red Nexus 5. Unlike most releases from Google, this one didn't come as much of a surprise. The red Nexus 5 had been leaked so much that it almost felt like Google were purely putting us out of our misery by officially announcing it. But announce it they did, and order it I did. I've personally held off from purchasing the Nexus 5 up until this point because it just wasn't popping enough for me. The introduction of this color certainly fixes that.
Firefox is widely recognized as one of the best browsers in the game. Despite the incredible rise of Google's Chrome over the past few years, the Mozilla team has continued to push the updates to ensure that Firefox enjoys a decent market share. More recently, we've seen the Firefox creator attempt to branch out with the development of its very own mobile operating system, and while that particular project remains in the works, Mozilla has now gone ahead and built a home launcher for Android.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak may no longer work at Apple, but he has acquired something of a reputation for scrutinizing products released by the company he helped to build - and not always in a good way. But while the Cupertino outfit can usually take on board the musings of the Woz with an element of seriousness, his latest suggestion will perhaps go down as the most bizarre idea Apple has ever heard. For Wozniak believes that Apple could benefit from creating a smartphone running on - wait for it - Google's very own Android OS, and while Woz's position as a co-founder means that whatever he says re Apple is going to make the headlines, it's quite staggering that he would make such a suggestion.
Google Glass has been a hot topic in the blogosphere for the best part of a year now, and although not deemed ready for consumers just yet, it's worth remembering that the product is being developed with more than just the end-user market in mind. In fact, as per a report over at VentureBeat, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) is currently assessing ways in which the face computer could be used in the ongoing effort to combat crime, and if this is indeed the case, one can envisage law enforcement agencies across the world following suit as Glass becomes more popular.
Although Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch has failed to make much of an impression within tech circles during its short lifespan, the Korean company has never been one to back down in the face of adversary. As such, it should come as very little surprise that according to a New York Times report, a second-gen version of the wrist-worn gadget is being lined up for the special Unpacked 5 2014 event later on this month at the Mobile World Congress.
The HTC One was regarded by many as the best smartphone on the market last year, and despite the subsequent release of other main players like the Galaxy Note 3 from Samsung and Apple's iPhone 5s, quite a few still consider this to be the case. The Taiwanese outfit's success with the One provided a much-needed bit of respite following a steady decline in market share prior, and recently, we've been hearing that it's successor - unofficially dubbed the HTC One 2 - is en route to market. Today, courtesy of a leaked photo, we may have our first legitimate glimpse at the eagerly-anticipated handset.
The mobile gaming world is certainly not bereft of superhero titles. In fact, they're incredibly popular, and now, it's the turn of Captain America to take center stage. The forthcoming title for iOS and Android, which is entitled 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' is being developed by Gameloft, and will be hitting both the App Store and Google Play Store late next month.
The Google Nexus 5 launched towards the close of last year, and many lauded the fact that Google - with a little assistance from LG - had managed to pack so much solid hardware into a relatively cheap handset. Available in black and (sort of) white, we've been hearing for a while that the release of a red version was imminent, and today, the alternative color configuration has gone live over at the Play Store. It's just as vibrant as the leaks had indicated, and will certainly stand out among the crowd.
The Nexus 5 has proved to be a huge hit since its release late last year, and for a while, we've been under the impression that the LG-made, Google-branded handset would soon add a vibrant red color option. After numerous murmurings, we've now got something a little more plausible in the form of a press render, and considering the leaker - Evleaks - is renowned for accurate snaps and info on upcoming devices, we're more than slightly inclined to believe this latest shot is the real deal. Check it out after the break!
They may have slipped quietly under most people's radar, but Sony's odd little QX lens cameras for smartphones and tablets have received a firmware update that promises to bring some nice new features to the table. The cameras may not be as good as a traditional point-and-shoot solution, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve firmware updates!
