Smartphones have terrible, terrible battery life. From truly horrifyingly terrible like the HTC Thunderbolt, to the somewhat tolerable iPhone 4, no mainstream smartphone can last more than two days with moderately heavy usage. My own smartphone - a Samsung Galaxy S II - doesn’t last more than 14-15 hours on a single charge and I have to invariably charge it overnight to make it through the next day. I love it to pieces, and the short battery life is a compromise I have to take in order to enjoy its great features, but yes, a longer battery life would be highly appreciated.
Google's latest iteration of Android will be reaching out to several handsets on the HTC roster in the early stages of next year, if a note on the company's official Facebook page is anything to go by.

We’ve got the step-by-step guide for your perusal after the break!
If there is one thing we like at Redmond Pie, it's iOS gaming. We're not sure if it's the feel of that oleo-phobic screen in our sweaty hands, or the fact that iOS games fit just nicely with out goldfish-like attention spans, but we do love us an iPhone game. Or iPad, for that matter.
According to a statistics reports; Apple is still the #1 smartphone manufacturer in USA while Android maintains its lead as the #1 mobile OS.

There's no doubt that, when it comes to fanaticism of new products, Apple has it down to a fine art. From Mac to iPad, iPhone to MacBook, there's regularly a congregation of avid techies ready to pay big bucks outside those iconic stores on release dates of new products.
