Earlier on today, Nokia announced three new Android-based devices in the form of the Nokia X, Nokia X+ and the Nokia XL. As you might imagine, getting any decent amount of time with these new devices is rather difficult, but here, we present an exclusive brief overview of the Nokia XL - the largest of these three new specimens.
We first managed to get a glimpse of the Sony SmartBand during this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, with the company now announcing that the extremely lightweight wearable is set for a global launch next month. The SmartBand is the first of presumably a number of products that will be built to utilize Sony's new Core fitness tracking hardware and will come with a retail price of $130 when it lands on shelves next month.
We're really not all that far into Mobile World Congress 2014, held in Barcelona, but the announcements are already coming thick and fast. The latest to catch everyone's attention is Sony, with the Japanese technology firm today announcing that it is launching a new flagship smartphone, hot on the heels of its not-long-since-announced Xperia Z1S. The new model? The Xperia Z2. They're nothing if not predictable!
Having taken the wraps off the new Nokia X family, Stephen Elop also took the opportunity to announce that BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) would be headed to Windows Phone, along with Adobe Photoshop Express. The instant messaging service, which only arrived for iOS and Android a few months back after years as a BlackBerry-only feature, will be releasing a version for the Windows Phone Store in due course, although at this moment, it is unclear as to when exactly it will become available.
By now I am sure most of you will be aware of iOS 7.0.6 which was released by Apple only a few days ago to patch critical SSL connection verification vulnerability that can expose your device to man-in-the-middle attacks. All versions below 7.0.6 are affected by this bug.
We're all firmly in mobile mode with Mobile World Congress kicking off over in Barcelona, but that hasn't stopped Microsoft from letting everyone know what the current state of play is when it comes to an update to Windows 8.1, and the new Windows Phone 8.1.
People who are regular jailbreakers tend to have their favorite apps and tweaks in mind when setting up a new device, and invariably one of those tweaks is IntelliScreenX. A hugely popular jailbreak tweak, IntelliScreenX by the folks over at Intelliborn has been around in various guises for quite some time, and it's one of the tweaks that we here at RP like to keep an eye on. It's also one that you like to know all the latest news about, which is why we thought you'd like to get the skinny on what when a new version of the original Notification Center-like tweak will be available.
Evasi0n7 jailbreak v1.0.6 has just been released, bringing an iOS 7.0.6 jailbreak to those running the new firmware on their iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Below you'll find details on just how you can harness its powers to jailbreak your device running the latest firmware.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is expected to make its long-awaited appearance at Mobile World Congress next week, but while the Korean outfit's latest and greatest smartphone may be the main attraction, it's looking as though there'll be quite a few other products in tow. The Galaxy Gear smartwatch, which launched alongside the Galaxy Note 3 in September, is considered by many to be a failure, with generally negative reviews reflected by poor sales. But not one to throw in the towel, Samsung looks to be back with not one, but two new wearable gadgets, and courtesy of yet another Evleaks, we may just have our first proper glimpse of both.
We're sure this is something that's happened to you, because it's certainly something we've found ourselves doing on more than a few occasions. You've got an image or other piece of data that you can't just copy and paste, but you need to get that data into another app or simply use that as reference material for something that you're currently working on. The end result is lots of multitasking, which on an iOS device consists of double-pressing that Home button a lot and swiping around like your life depends on it. It's far from ideal, it takes too long and it's above all rather irritating.
