Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference commences from next month on June 10th, and the well-informed Jim Dalrymple has waded into the ongoing debate by casting his expectations on the forthcoming event. He suggests that, in terms of new hardware, we shouldn't hold out any hope of a significant new iOS device, but we could see some alterations to the Mac line. As well as that, he goes into detail with regards to OS X and iOS, both of which will certainly be seeing new versions. Details can be found right after the break.
Gmail is widely considered to be one of the best email services going, and one of the main reasons for its continued success is the fact that Google has been resilient in updating and improving it over the past nine years. Today, the Big G has announced new services for both desktop and mobile which aim to "put you back in control."
It isn't exactly a well kept secret that the best way to drum up interest and excitement about your upcoming app or tweak is to release previews and beta copies well before the final product hits the market. Consumer interest is always at its peak when they have seen something that they want but can't quite get their hands on immediately. Show them something that they want and them make them wait for it. That seems to be exactly the case with the recently release Badger tweak that was previewed a month or so ago, but has now finally made its way onto Cydia for the BigBoss repository.
If you find the speaker volume of your iPhone to be a little on the quiet side, help is at hand thanks to a jailbreak tweak by the name of Volume Amplifier. Just released over at the BigBoss repository, it delivers fairly impressive results, and if you want to give your Apple smartphone's volume a little kick up the backside, check out the details below!
A new concept video for iOS 7 features has just been released by designers Christian Lue and Ran Avni, which takes into consideration the lack of functionality with iOS Messages, revamps Siri, and offers a whole host of other interesting tidbits. More details, as well as a video demonstration of the design, can be found below.
Switching from one smartphone to another is not really an easy feat, and even more so if the platform is different from the one that you’re currently using. Just recently, I decided to make the switch from iPhone to Android as my primary business phone, mainly because my work relies heavily on Google Apps and Android binds relatively better with those (and because my company promotes Android over iPhone). Nevertheless, while the rest of it was pretty smooth, one area that took some thought was getting my text messages from the iPhone to the new Xperia Android phone. Thankfully, there is a solution, even though it takes some time, we’ll show you how to go about it.
Concepts concepts concepts, as far as the eye can see. There's a golden rule when creating concepts, and that's to come up with something that's not been seen before. If that doesn't happen, then borrow features from something that does them better than whatever you're making the concept of. That's exactly what we've got here.
Google may be all set to bet the bank on Google Glass, but all the rumors suggest that Apple is set to come up with its own wearable technology, but not of the spectacled variety. If all the analysts are right, then Apple is set to announce a watch based on iOS. If they're really right, then it'll be an iWatch.
At last week's I/O dev conference, Google made a whole host of announcements, among them a potentially Spotify-killing update to its Music service. Named "Google Play Music All Access," the new streamer boasts an impressive catalog of tunes right off the bat, but as is typically the case for fledgling Google products, it remains available only to Android users at this moment in time. But, as is often the case in these circumstances, a workaround has been created for those on Apple's iOS, so if you're rocking an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and were looking for a peek at All Access Music, a recent update to the popular gMusic app will enable you to realize your dreams.
Keeping our smartphones charged up for when we need them most is something we're always considering, subconsciously or otherwise. As such, the third-party accessory market makes an absolute killing in flogging docks, retractable cables, charging mats, juice packs, and other such products. Considering there are so many different types of charging accessories available, you might have thought the scope for innovation in this field was somewhat limited, but iLoveHandles' "Trunk" Lightning cable for the iPhone 5 proves this not to be the case.
