We now have additional evidence to suggest that Samsung's recent decision to overhaul the user-interface in its PRO Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab tablets could soon be followed up with a new look throughout. The fresh and modern magazine based design that graced the aforementioned devices definitely managed to capture the imagination of users, which can only be seen as a positive as it seems that upcoming Samsung smartphones will also benefit from a fresh lick of interface paint, as the latest leaked images show.
It's true that not everyone is a big fan of what Apple has done with iOS 7. In fact, it's probably more accurate to say that there's something of an anti-iOS 7 movement on the internet, and while Apple has rolled back some of its more outlandish changes, it's never going to take all of its alterations back.

When Apple announced the iPhone 5s last September, one of the features that it made quite a fuss about was the new phone's ability to record slow motion video.
Although, thanks to the most recent major update, the iOS home screen isn’t as boring and uneventful as before, it still draws criticism for its one-dimensional nature and general lack of customizability. Even with a jailbreak, you’re never quite going to be able to enjoy the eclectic mix of launchers, widgets and multiple home screens a la Android, but thanks to the recent work of Evad3rs, you can bring a little bit of life to your home screen. Random Icon Flip, as you will probably have gathered, will flip random icons around for no other reason than aesthetic enjoyment, and although it is almost as pointless as it sounds, does help to rejuvenate the otherwise monotonous view. Originally released back in 2011, the tweak now has received an update, bringing with it support for iOS 7, Apple’s latest and greatest mobile OS.
Battery life and network signal strength received by the iPhone is definitely up there at the top of legitimate concerns that users have, and thankfully both can be addressed in some form. Signal Booster, a package for jailbroken iPhones, has just been updated to support modern hardware, meaning that there could be some level of improvement for those who are facing signal problems, regardless of version of iOS which the user is running.
While it's true that Apple has worked to make inter-app sharing of data a more complete experience in iOS over the years, there's little arguing that Google's Android is the current leader when it comes to letting apps talk to each other. Apple's walled garden makes sharing photos, snippets of text and other data much more complicated than it needs to be, no matter how much it has improved.
Apple may be on a quest to rid the world of buttons, but it hasn't quite managed to pull it off just yet. Our iPhones have touch-screens that can take the strain for the most part, but we still have hardware Home and power buttons. In many ways it's the way it needs to be, but that's no consolation when either your hardware buttons stop working, or you have a specific accessibility need that means pressing those hardware buttons isn't practical.
The App Store and Google Play Store is far from short of remote control apps. That is, apps to control a PC or Mac from a smartphone or a tablet. With apps like LogMeIn and Splashtop proving popularas well as countless other lesser lights keeping the big boys honest, owners of phones and tablets aren't short of choice when it comes to remotely controlling their computers. Still, that apparently isn't going to stop Google from entering the fray.
As soon as iOS 7 was jailbroken, Cydia was opened up to the inevitable plethora of iPhone 5s-only tweaks. By that, we obviously mean tweaks that use the iPhone 5s's Touch ID fingerprint sensing system, and with it being such a prominent feature it was really only a matter of time before jailbreak developers started to use it in some interesting ways.
The number of larger iPad, or so-called 'iPad Pro' reports have been aplenty over the past six or so months, and a new piece over at DigiTimes, which claims that Apple is aiming to drop the 12.9-inch slab by the third quarter of this year, only serves to fuel this burning fire. Once upon a time, the blogosphere would have laughed at any notion of Apple delivering a slate so much larger than the full-sized iPad Air, but the iPad mini has shown that under Tim Cook, anything is apparently possible, and the iPad Pro will serve as the higher-end option for consumers seeking the ultimate performance.
