As detailed in an official blog post on the matter, the app is in the process of being reworked from the ground up, and with an already impressive app that has yielded Infuse a steady army of fans, we sure cannot wait to see if version 2 lives up to the hype.
Hot on the heels of the news that Microsoft would be bringing a touch-ready version of Office to iPad at some unspecified time in the near future, the Redmond company has just announced that Remote Desktop is also about to hit the iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store. Unlike Office for iPad, which didn't really get much of an ETA from Steve Ballmer, the software maker has issued an indirect press release on the state of RDP, noting that it will become available to those on iOS and Android by the end of the month.
The guys over at the YouTube channel RatedRR make a living destroying some of our favorite gadgets for fun, and having already shown the rather prectable outcome of .50 cal-meets-iPhone-5s, the gang are back causing devastation to the iPhone 5c. As most of you will be aware, the cheaper device is quite similar physically to its flagship counterpart, and aside from a few key internal alterations, the most obvious difference is the fact that it features a plastic shell. Although this is certainly a robust material, it's no match for the .50 cal rifle of the RatedRR team's inventory, and in something of a morbid twist, the whole event was shot using an iPhone 5s.
As well as bringing a plethora of new features and options to its user base, iOS 7 also carried a visual overhaul, with most of the UI elements having been altered in what has been an extermination job on the previously omni-present skeuomorphism. As such, developers have been readily updating their apps to comply with the new look, and while many of the major devs have already pushed their new, aesthetically adjusted versions, the famed cross-platform WhatsApp Messenger remains very much in the era of iOS 6. New leaked screenshots, however, offer a flavor of what could be in store once that update does finally make the App Store, and just like the Messages app, it appears clean and in-keeping with the rest of the OS.
Google's Eric Schmidt is no stranger to opening his mouth and having some strange, often outlandish words come out.

Taking an industry like that of the smartphone and turning it on its head in the space of one keynote can't be an easy task, but the folks at Apple managed it back in 2007 when the iPhone was announced. Demonstrated on-stage with typical Steve Jobs gusto, that iPhone unveiling is still the stuff of legends, and anyone lucky enough to have been there will no doubt remember it for quite some time.
The Beats Music brand has really taken the headphone and speaker market by storm, and while there are plenty of purists who would argue that the entire Beats product line is more about style than substance, there's no doubt that the foundations have well and truly been laid for a streaming music service. Speaking with The Next Web, a Beats executive has confirmed that an official iOS app is in the pipeline, and although an Android version, as well as a Web offering, will eventually become available, the release to the iTunes App Store is at the top of the company's agenda.
Microsoft has become the latest in a long list of large developers to update one of their native mobile apps for iOS 7. The Redmond company's latest update to the Skype app for iPhone and iPad is currently propagating its way through the App Store and brings the revamped and refreshed user-interface that we have come to expect from an iOS 7 app.
The introduction of the colorful iPhone 5c managed to raise concern levels amongst analysts who feared for the future of Apple, especially when put together with the iPhone 5s that many thought didn't represent a big enough improvement on last year's iPhone 5. Those fears were quickly laid to rest when Apple announced that opening weekend sales of the two devices had managed to break all of their existing sales records. We now have additional confirmation of the success of the new iPhone, with it being reported that the 5s was the biggest selling device on all four major American carriers last month.
