Hacking, as we've seen on many occasions, can be used for good as well as evil, or at least unscrupulous ends, but a new game for iOS by the name of 868-HACK plays down the wider issues by letting you have fun and essentially become a computer geek yourself. Of course, since it's made purely for entertainment, there's nothing amiss (although one suspects some App Store browsers may be initially off-put), and once you get into it, there's much fun to be had.
Although the simple puzzlers continue to rule the roost when it comes to gaming in mobile space, the marked improvements made to processor and graphics performance have enabled developers and publishers of the more substantial titles to bring an experience to smartphones and tablets something like console quality. In terms of driving games, there are a few noteworthy offerings including the Real Racing trilogy, and joining the race for supremacy is 2K DRIVE, a new iOS exclusive that has just debuted at the App Store.
It's almost iPhone announcement day, and if we're honest we can't wait to be able to tell you about what Apple has announced, rather than play the guessing game that invariably accompanies any new iOS device's launch. Will it have that, or will it do this? What colors will it come in and will I get a free vial of unicorn tears with every iPhone I buy?
We're headed towards that time of year again when Activision releases its next installment of Call of Duty. This year's offering - Call of Duty: Ghosts - is not due for a while yet, but to whet the appetites of the many Call of Duty fans, a new mobile title has just made its way to the iOS App Store. Call of Duty: Strike Team is set in the year 2020, and with more of that first-person action fans love now refined for mobile space, it's not one to be missed. Details, as well as the download link, can be seen after the jump.
At the IFA 2013 Press Conference today, Sony unveiled a bunch of new gadgets, such as the waterproof Xperia Z, including the much hyped DSC-QX10 and DSC-QX100 Cyber-shot smartphone lens cameras. Both the devices are scheduled for availability starting September 27, based on Amazon’s official listing, and are going to provide “DSLR-quality shooting from the convenience of a smartphone”. Let’s take a deeper look at both these models right after the break.
Know what's cooler than an iPhone announcement event? Two iPhone announcement events, and that's exactly what Apple has on the books for the 10th and 11th of September.
With Apple having sent out official event invites for their September 10th iPhone event only a while back, there’s little doubt left that Apple will in fact be debuting two different iPhone models this fall, including the iPhone 5S and the cheaper iPhone 5C. Now, we have what can only be termed as an almost-confirmed leaked image of what the latter, the iPhone 5C, would look like, courtesy of Evleaks.
So here we are, only a week away from Apple’s iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C announcement. Apple has already sent event invites for its September 10th iPhone event, a date that the internet as a whole seems to have designated 'new iPhone day.'
A while back, it was revealed that a vulnerability within OS X / iOS left users potentially susceptible to a DoS-like attack. Although Apple is usually fairly swift in clearing up any issues that could defame the relatively secure nature of its major ecosystems, renowned jailbreak developer Filippo Biga has come through with a tweak-based solution for those on jailbroken iOS devices.
Apple is set to announce the low-cost iPhone 5C alongside the new flagship on September 10th, and with very little time between now and then, we're seeing a lot more by way of seemingly legitimate leaks. Yesterday, we caught a glimpse of the manual to be bundled in the iPhone 5C packaging, and now, more images, as well as a video, offer even more insight into the handset as well as the casing it will be shipped in when it makes retail.
