While everyone is fawning over the idea of Apple announcing a watch with a 2.5-inch touch-screen, Withings has announced its own offering, called the Activité. Shipping this fall in two colors - white and silver - for the rather high price of $390, the Activité is actually more a fitness tracker than a smartwatch, though. Designed to be absolutely stunning rather than packed with more sensors than a Terminator, the Activité 'only' tracks steps taken and quality of sleep, with the number of calories burned also being calculated based on those steps.
Motorola has established a reputation for building cheap, feature-rich smartphones of late, and the Moto G, which first hit the scene late last year, is no exception. Having launched in the United States at a cost of $179, the 4G-enabled refresh of the Moto G has just arrived on UK shores, retailing at a cost of just £160.
With Google I/O right in front of our face, speculation is understandably rife as to what the search and Android giant will have to say. New versions of Android are usually on the agenda at Google's big developer outing, and we see no huge reason why this year's event would be any different. With that in mind, the next version of Android could be just around the corner, and with the next letter in the alphabet-based naming convention used for Android being 'L,' we may have our first real look at what it is going to look like.
When Microsoft bought Nokia, many understandably thought that the latter's brief flirtation with Android would come to an end. After all, Microsoft makes its own mobile operating system and having its own hardware to run it on made perfect sense. Why compete with yourself by letting Nokia make Android phones? Right?
As you might already have learned by now, Chinese group Pangu just took the jailbreaking world by storm with the release of its new, untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1. Although some tweaks should work right off the bat, others will require developer intervention before they can be deemed ready for prime time, and below, you'll find a list of currently-compatible tweaks for Pangu-jailbroken devices.
The iPhone 6 is, according to reports, primed and ready to go into mass production from next month, with Foxconn once again having been tasked with assembling the vast majority of those initial units. As far as we know, the handset will take on a curved form factor akin to the iPad Air, and although we can never be 100 percent certain given Apple's stringent veil of secrecy over the entire design and production progress, the sheer volume of leaks draw an almost irrefutable conclusion. Today, a new leak has surfaced that ties in nicely with everything we've heard, and notably, offers the best look at the forthcoming iPhone that we've clapped eyes on to date.
Having spent the best part of a year developing its head-mounted technology in the United States, Google has just rolled out the Explorer Edition of Glass to interested parties in the United Kingdom. At a price of £1000, it works out at roughly the same cost as the U.S. version, and although Google alluded to a wider roll-out across more countries in its announcement post on G+, the UK is the currently the only group of countries officially outlined as beneficiaries of Glass.
Pangu iOS 7.1.1 and iOS 7.1 untethered jailbreak was released moments ago, and as promised, here are instructions on how to use said tool to jailbreak your iOS device untethered.
If you're into those life simulation titles such as the famed Sims series, then you might be interested to learn that a vaguely similar title - available on iPhone, iPad and Mac - has just gone free for each device. With a total saving of around $13, this is is a deal not to be missed, and as ever, you can catch the details and download links after the break.
Apple's iPhone 5s offered many new features and perks over the preceding iPhone 5, and the most obvious - aside from the gold color option - was the introduction of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Like many marquee features before it, Touch ID has been exclusive to the iPhone 5s for the duration of its tenure as Apple's flagship, but with the iPhone 6 now looming, it seems almost certain that the fingerprint sensor will also be added to the Cupertino's iPad roster. As well as bringing Touch ID to the iPad Air 2 and Retina iPad mini 3 later this year, it is also being reported that Apple is making some design changes for a more durable, reliable experience moving forward.
