If mobile gaming is your thing, but aren’t into farming on your mobile device then Spawn Studios has the perfect solution. The original all-action hero is back on the small screen, this time making an appearance in Duke Nukem: The Manhattan project, a title that was originally released for the Windows platform more than a decade ago. This isn't the first time that we've seen the Mighty Boot grace Apple's iOS platform with his no-nonsense presence, but it is the first time that everyone's favorite fictional hero has brought his chaos to The Big Apple on the platform.
Nokia, which was recently subject to an acquisition by close partner Microsoft, has struggled in the smartphone industry since the iPhone came into play, but while lackluster sales are largely attributable to the Windows Phone ecosystem, there's no question that the devices themselves - particularly the cameras - are of the highest order. DPReview has pitted the revered 41-megapixel sensor of the Lumia 1020 and the 8-megapixel rear-facing snapper of the iPhone 5s against some of its favorite DSLRs, and aside from other findings, determined that the Nokia camera is more than just a little bit better than that of its rival. In fact, it's far, far superior.
In the interest of adding additional competition in the jailbroken world of biometric detection, a developer by the name of Ryan P has thrown his hat into the ring in the form of AppScan. The package, which is available as an immediate free-of-charge download, is the developer’s equivalent of BioLockdown for iPhone 5s, Applocker for iOS 7 and BioProtect for iPhone 5s, except it has the added bonus of being entirely free. The release of the three aforementioned packages clearly proves that there's a market for this type of tweak, but is there a market for a free variant that may or may not continue to receive support?
The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has just announced WWE Network, a 24/7 streaming service. Wrestling fans with a passion for late nights will be particularly pleased about this announcement as it effectively allows subscribers to sit in front of the WWE's superstars on a 24-hour basis for a relatively small monthly outlay. The subscription based service will be billed at $9.99 per month and will require a minimum six month commitment from those wanting to get in on the action in the United States.
Apple's Weather app icon. It's never been something that users of the iPhone or iPod touch have been keen on. In fact, its inability to change its appearance as the weather changes outside the window has often been the subject of much ire and consternation amongst those of us that spend far too much time worrying about icons.
The constant scrutiny of each and every corporate decision Apple makes may provide us a little insight into the day-to-day activities of Tim Cook's company, but what it doesn't do is provide us with a rationale behind some of the decisions made. And Apple's decision to attempt to block the use of unauthorized Lighting cables within iOS 7 is one of those decisions that some consumers would like some more information on.
Back in December, we heard that the official Spotify app would be subject to an update, allowing users of the free service to enjoy uninterrupted music on shuffle. Today, the changes have come into effect for those on iOS, and the latest edition of the popular music streaming app brings forth all of the other alterations outlined just a month ago.
The festive season may be over for most, but in celebration of the new calendar year, there seems to be no-end of promotional offers on apps for mobile users. With Sephora throwing out promo codes for iOS apps like confetti, Android users are certainly not being left out, and Agent - a 5-in-1 smart assistant for those running Google's mobile operating system - has just gone free. Check the details after the break!
It's always, without any exception, nice to get things for free, and even though App Store apps are widely considered cheap (except for when the developer decides to overkill the freemium model), those promotions dropping prices to little or nothing are always worth jumping on. Even if you can't envisage yourself downloading a certain app that has gone free, there's not much harm in downloading it and simply having it there on your account, and a new Sephora deal means you can obtain the likes of Day One, djay 2 and Silk from the App Store for free. Details on how you can cash in - or not, as the case may be - can be found after the fold! A Beautiful Mess and more that are available for free.
Since Apple announced support for official MFi (Made for iPhone) gaming controllers with iOS 7, the major peripheral makers have been quick to announce and release some of their creations. However, those we've seen hitherto have shared one common trait - they're all tailored specifically to the iPhone. With cases that clip perfectly onto the form factor of the Apple smartphone, those on the iPad and iPod touch have been largely cast aside, but now, in the RP One, avid mobile gaming fans have an Xbox-esque controller to truly enhance the general user experience.
