Dropbox was one of the very first cloud services to really establish itself in the consumer market. Despite facing stiff competition recently from the might of Apple's iCloud, Microsoft's SkyDrive, and most recently, Google Drive, Dropbox continues to be the cloud hub of choice for many digital consumers.
Everyone is a big fan of Instagram here at Redmond Pie. We're not happy unless we are posting photos of our cats on the social network that was built to enable sharing of photos. Now that the company has shared an Android version with us after a long wait, then there really is no reason for anyone not to be as enthralled as we are.
After including major missing features in iOS 3, 4 and 5, iOS 6 has turned out to be more of an incremental update than anything else. Other than Maps, there are no downright mind-blowing features. Everything iOS 6-related announced by Forstall at WWDC 2012, we’ve seen in one form or another whether as a Cydia tweak or a minor feature on other platforms.
Gameloft has officially announced a Batman: Dark Knight Rises mobile game in conjunction with the upcoming movie, which will support devices running both Google's Android and Apple's iOS mobile operating systems.
On Monday, the world got its first look at iOS 6 after it was officially announced by Apple at this year's WWDC event, and of all the features anticipated and discovered, the replacement of Google Maps with the new, Cupertino-engineered offering was easily one of the most exciting.
We get through many impressive iPhone concepts here at Redmond Pie, and the most recent has already gained a significant amount of views on viral video hunt YouTube.

The latest public release of the firmware is currently sitting at version 5.1.1, with the first developer seed of iOS 6 being in the wild, but the battery issues still haven't been entirely eliminated.
Whilst many features of the next iPhone device remain a rumor or mystery, the consensus seems to be that the unofficially-dubbed "iPhone 5" device will be the first Apple smartphone to include a 4G LTE chip. With that in mind, it has now emerged that Taiwanese company Qualcomm is gearing itself up to produce it.
The guys over at the Dropbox development team have been working hard on pushing out version 1.5 of their iOS app, which now has been given the green light by the Apple review team and released into the App Store for download. If you head on over to the Updates section of the store, the latest version should be showing up for immediate download. Although Apple and Dropbox have had their differences in recent times, this latest release has obviously done nothing to rub Cupertino up the wrong way.
We live in a world that contains multiple file types, all of which serve their purpose on devices like the iPhone and iPod touch which are capable of doing so many wonderful things. It is understandable why Apple allows only certain file types to be included when sending and receiving iMessages and text messages, after all, it could get extremely messy if every file type could be used within short messages.
