There's been plenty of talk centered around iOS and Windows Phone 8 of late, but today seems to be the turn of Google and their fabulous Android OS as the Android Open Source Project is seeing the release of 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The 4.1.2 incremental update is only a minor improvement over the previous 4.1.1 release, but will definitely bring some notable improvements to Nexus 7 owners.
We’ve been hearing this rumor for a long time now, that LG is working on a super high-end smartphone in collaboration with Google. After consistent rumors, we are finally seeing first leaks of the actual device out in the wild. Thankfully, the photos aren’t blurry. Check them out after the jump.
Facebook may be the world's largest social network with over one billion monthly active members, but Mark Zuckerberg's attention towards mobile users has been somewhat lacking, until now. The official Facebook app for mobile devices is generally one of the most downloaded apps available, regardless of the platform, the company's decision to produce their mobile software using HTML5 is one that dramatically backfired and resulted in the the founder himself admitting that it was a fairly large and costly mistake.
The Nexus 7 tablet, which was the brainchild of a collaborative effort between Google and ASUS, proved to be a huge hit with consumers thanks largely to its low starting price and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean implementation. Talk has been rife recently regarding a 32GB model - offering a little more storage for folk who find 8 and 16GB configurations as requiring too space management - and to throw a little more weight behind the murmurings, a 32GB Nexus 7 looks to have made an appearance in Japan.
Rovio's latest Bad Piggies title on iOS and Android definitely brought a new challenge for mobile gamers to sink their teeth into, but if you happen to be a huge fan of the company's Angry Birds creation then November 8th may be a date that needs to be added to your diary. Fans of the Angry Birds franchise may have seen a teasing image from Rovio last week that had a number of people wondering if those pesky birds were about to move to the dark side. It seems that they are.
If you've been paying attention to the official T-Mobile Twitter account then you will probably be aware of the unexpected but not so surprising announcement which they made last night. It seems that consumers are falling over themselves to get their hands on Apple's sixth-generation iPhone, but it's actually the Samsung Galaxy S III that has been breaking records on the T-Mobile network.
A couple of years back, before rooting of an Android device had advanced to the stage it's at now, many used to pursue the rooting of their handset without unlocking the bootloader. Nowadays, it is generally an accepted prerequisite, but in the early Nexus One era, for example, bootloaders couldn't be "re-locked" once unlocking had taken place, so alternative methods were frequently sought. If you are in ownership of the Samsung-made Galaxy Nexus, you'll be pleased to know that now it can also be rooted without the unlocking of the bootloader.
While only a very tiny fraction of Android smartphones are running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, rumors and reports of the next version of Google’s popular mobile platform are starting to emerge online.
The 2012 Mobile Choice Awards have just taken place in London and the results are in - with Samsung's Galaxy S III coming out on top as Best Smartphone of 2012. Despite its main competitor - the iPhone 5 - enjoying a great deal of early success and record sales figures, it is the Korean company's quad-core effort which came out on top this time around.
With the Galaxy Nexus being over a year old now, rumors for the next device in the Nexus series of Android Experience smartphones are getting stronger and stronger by the day.
