The best sketching / drawing apps for iPhone and iPad, have just gone free for the first time ever at the iTunes App Store, and if you're the kind to use your digital device for the purpose of channeling creativity, then be sure to check out the details and download link provided below.
Last week, Crazy Taxi: City Rush was rolled out to those rocking an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The title, designed specifically for mobile rather than being a port of one of the old classics, has enjoyed a bright start since making its début over at the App Store, and fashionably late, the Android version has just arrived over at the Google Play Store. Details, as well as the download link, can be seen after the fold.
Let's not beat around the bush - the Apple TV remote is a pretty poor imitation of how a remote control should function. Sure, it's nice and slim, but for me, the minuscule form factor only makes it easier to lose down the side of the sofa. Suffice to say that I, like many Apple TV users, tend to use an iOS device for the purpose of controlling the set-top, which makes for a much more enjoyable experience overall. While using iPhones and such for remote controlling is nothing particularly new, what you may not have known is that you can also train Apple TV to use ordinary third-party remotes, and below, we'll show you how to do so.
Google's Android Wear initiative may be in the midst of what could be called a false start, but that problem maybe alleviated once the big software companies start to integrate wearable support into their apps. Two giants of the messaging world have done just that over the last couple of days, with both Facebook and WhatsApp issuing updates to their Android apps that give Android Wear, err, wearers a little taste of the future.
Google's Android L, which the search giant took the unprecedented step of launching at I/O this time around, offers a bunch of improvements over KitKat. Notably, it's laden with an all-new "Material Design,” but aside from tweaking the aesthetics, there are plenty of enhancements on the functionality side of things. As it has just emerged, multi-user support is also in the offing for smartphones, and given how families and groups like to share devices, seems a natural progression that perhaps should have arrived much earlier.
Apple's iPhone 6 is apparently being unveiled on September 9th, and although we'd gathered plenty of details already, we've now got some unofficial confirmation of several key features. It's naturally assumed, given the A7 processor of the iPhone 5s, that Apple will bundle an improved A8 chip into the next handset, and along with improved Wi-Fi and Touch ID, this will definitely be the case.
There seems to be a real glut of paid-for apps going free of late, and that's no bad thing as far as we're concerned. Here we have a range of new titles to add to that list, and some are great examples of titles that are normally a bargain even at their usual price. Make them free, and they really are apps that you should be trying out.
It became something of a myth that turned out to be true, but there really was a guy called Sam Sung that worked for Apple as recently as late-2013. Even while both Apple and Samsung were going at it tooth and nail over patents and general hatred of each other, there was a cheery guy working as a specialist in Apple’s Pacific Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was almost too good to be true.
Even though Uber had its fair share of naysayers from the get-go, it has established itself as a genuine threat to the ordinary cab, with folks happy to pay for the efficient, smart, high-end travel. Only what started out as a plush experience has become gradually more affordable, and today, Uber has launched UberPool, a service that connects strangers riding similar routes and allowing them to share the fare.
When Google first took the wraps off Android Wear, a smartwatch-flavored variant of the famed mobile software, a number of manufacturing partners were also outlined. On the very day of the announcement, both LG and Motorola showcased their inaugural efforts, with the respective G Watch and Moto 360. Among most of our readers, as well as the whole team here, the Moto 360 was the stand-out, featuring a slick, traditional design, and after handing out samples at I/O, we're now beginning to see some accessories and peripherals. Below, we take a look at the wireless charging dock, which also morphs your device into a night stand / bedside clock.
