iOS hacker and jailbreak wiz Winocm, who is currently working to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 as well as 6.1.4 has given a "definite ETA" on making his efforts a tangible success "before 2014." Thus, it would seem that he is indeed making strides, and although many iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users are currently waiting and hoping for news on a possible iOS 7 jailbreak, this is certainly a good day for the jailbreak scene in general.
Over the past couple of years, many suggestions have been made that smartphones and tablets, as well as other digital devices, will begin to take advantage of flexible display technology. Yet while the concepts and such have been aplenty, we've yet to see a smartphone rocking a flexible display, but for those sufficiently intrigued, you won't have to wait much longer to see one. Samsung, as it does so often, is first to the draw, and its 5.7-inch Galaxy Round is said to feature a flexible panel around the edges, something which was confirmed by a Samsung executive at the end of last month.
For some reason unbeknown to the overwhelming majority of Samsung users, the Korean company decided to beset its Galaxy Note 3 with a region lock, but thanks, as ever, to the tireless and dedicated work of the folks over at XDA-Developers, a workaround is at hand.

When it comes to emerging products in mobile space, Samsung is very rarely caught off the pace, and following the release of the Galaxy Gear - the first smartwatch effort from any of the big names in tech - it now looks as though the company is going to create a product rivaling that of Google's Glass. According to industry insider Eldar Murtazin, the South Korean outfit is working on its own pair of digital spectacles, which Murtazin is touting for a spring release under the "Gear Glass" brand.

All major manufacturers in the mobile industry are consistently trying to improve the devices that they launch by including some kind of innovation that will set them apart from the competition. As we know, innovation isn't always possible on the scale that some would like, so when in doubt, the next best thing is to take inspiration from those around you.
