What with Sony being a major smartphone and camera vendor, the Japanese outfit has recently sought to combine its specialties and create something of a middle-ground. Back at IFA last year, smart lenses were introduced - high-end attachments for smartphones that would offer a premier shooting experience on-the-fly. Like most first-time efforts, it was a concept that didn't quite hit the mark, but never one to give in so quickly, the PlayStation maker appears to be back with a revised approach in the form of the QX1. With rumors suggesting that it'll separate the image sensor and lens components, it could, in turn, allow device owners to hook up their E-mount lenses, and if you're in the market for a superior point-and-shoot experience, the QX1 may be your perfect purchase.
We have a large selection of paid apps going free for iOS, and to mark Labor Day in the United States today, many developers are currently running epic deals. Below, you can find the entire selection worth well over $20, so be sure to join us after the break!
The fact that all iOS apps need to be approved by Apple in order to make their way into the App Store is both a blessing and a curse for the platform, but nobody can deny that it, most of the time at least, guarantees at least some sort of minimum design quality. It also means that developers often need to jump through hoops in order to get their hard work in front of those that they hope will download it.
Big breaches of security are never fun, but when you're the provider of cloud storage that holds all kinds of personal data, things can get particularly hairy when someone finds a way through. That's the situation Apple finds itself in today, or at least, that's the claim.
Popcorn Time, a BitTorrent service / app that allows you to stream movies, was initially thought to be fraught with legal issues and general negative baggage, but having established a strong user base on Android, Mac, Windows and a number of popular platforms, an iOS version is now just days away from releasing as promised before. It's not so much a case of Popcorn Time as iPhone Time, and what's more, the app will be able to stream content directly to Google's Chromecast as well as AirPlay devices like the Apple TV.

Samsung has a humongous marketing budget. Time and again, we see the Korean company spend lavishly on strange, interesting, and simply grandiose PR campaigns, but when it isn't renaming terminals at London's Heathrow Airport, the Galaxy maker does occasionally keep things nice and simple. Given that the Apple iPad Air is a direct competitor to the Galaxy Tab S, Samsung thought it would be a good idea to take both to the streets of NYC and record the reactions of consumers asked to compare the two.
Although many of us have now adapted to the idea of a touch-based keyboard, there are still limitations to this feature. One of the glaringly obvious caveats is that when a keyboard is in use, it can often command half of a device's display real estate, and in some instances, we're forced to cease typing in order to review the content we've written or are replying to. Inconvenient indeed, but the author of the Minuum keyboard, which has a popular following on Android, has pledged its name to the long list of developers porting products over to iOS 8, and with it, confirmed that it will include a neat feature that will see the keyboard adjust in height.
Earlier this month, we learned that the famed BioShock was to be released on Apple's iOS, and after a few weeks of making the final preparations, the iconic title is now ready to download for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
