It has been claimed that Apple is sharpening its claws for an assault on the mobile fitness industry, with a so-called Healthbook app presenting a Passbook-esque interface of stacked cards, each containing different snippets of information related to your overall personal fitness and well-being. Today, designer Carlos Quijano has thrown up a concept design of Healthbook for iOS 8 in action, featuring, among other ideas, integration with the elusive iWatch.
No device is safe from the perils of malicious software, and Google's Android, being an open source and ubiquitous piece of firmware, is particularly susceptible. As such, it's important for Droidsters to arm themselves against the hackers looking to scrape their data and use it to unscrupulous ends. What's even more alarming, however, is that many seemingly legitimate apps are collecting info on us, often without our knowing, and you find this fact to be more than a little disconcerting, then a nifty little firewall app for Android will help you regain control of the data you share.
The iPhone 6 has been a hot topic of discussion during the opening stages of this year, and from what we've heard so far, the Cupertino company could be planning to release two versions of the upcoming handset. We're expecting one model of around 4.7 inches, and another, similarly-equipped handset of around 5.5 inches, and both will, according to reports, look very much identical. Now, it has emerged that Apple may be opting for a "bezel-free" display, which would not only look great, but maximize display real-estate without adding too much by way of bulk.
Microsoft has just unveiled a new stereo headset for the Xbox One, the features of which will make for a premium in-game and general entertainment experience. But if you already have a headset that you wish to use with your Xbox One rather than buying a whole new one, then the good news is that you can hook it up to your new console by means of a legitimate Xbox One Headset Adapter, which the Redmond is selling separately. Further information can be seen after the break!
A new study carried out by Annalect has discovered that men prefer Microsoft over Apple. The research was devised to look closely at the 'Changing Role of Men', and found that, in terms of brands that "resonate" with the male population, Microsoft edged it over old rival Apple.
The developer of the immensely popular Flappy Bird took the decision to remove the title from both the App Store and Google Play Store over the weekend in a move that left many stunned and confused. With over 50 million downloads and banner ads generating a reported $50,000 per day, it was the kind of overnight success story that many developers dream of, but developer Dong Nguyen didn't see things that way. After a few says of silence, Nguyen has finally stepped out and explained his motives behind removing Flappy Bird, details of which you can find after the break.
It has already been confirmed that Samsung's Unpacked 2014 event will occur at the opening of Mobile World Congress in a couple of weeks time, with the Korean company having already sent out the invitations last week. And while we've heard much about the device itself, including a recent benchmark leak that has all-but confirmed the existence of two very different versions of the Galaxy S5 handset, new leaked media has given us a flavor of a significantly-revamped TouchWiz interface.
It has long since been suspected that Samsung's Galaxy S5 could spawn two separate editions. The first model, from what we've gathered, will be a relatively high-end affair, while the second will be an outright powerhouse, packed with all the very latest tech. More evidence has today emerged to corroborate this notion, thanks to a new set of leaked benchmarks, which paint a more specific picture of what's in the offing.
As with anything that becomes part of popular culture, recently-pulled Flappy Bird game has already spawned one or two copycat / spin-off titles. Doge, for those unfamiliar, is an Internet meme depicted by a Shiba Inus dog, and since said meme is predominantly used to invoke humor, one particularly funny guy has come up with the idea of 'Flappy Doge,' a Web-based browser game that essentially replaces some of Flappy Bird's graphics with those relating to Doge. But hey, if you just want your old game back, there's also a HTML5-based clone edition of Flappy Bird, too!
Around this time last year, we featured a jailbreak theme by the name of Carla, which offered some well-designed, beautifully-detailed icons and aesthetics to the iOS 6 experience. Now, the developer has come through with a version for iOS 7, and although bears many remnants of the previous edition, looks even more polished and appealing this time around.
