Android management apps for PC and Web are a dime a dozen, and every now and then, some new contender enters the market hoping to claim the throne as the king. Many of these contenders are not even worth a second look, but from time to time, we see a solid performer entering the arena as well, even if it doesn’t get to generate an enormous momentum. Mobogenie is one such utility. Available for Windows based PCs, it offers complete management for Android devices from the comfort of your desktop/laptop’s screen real-estate and better control thanks to mouse/keyboard combination. More past the jump.
YouTube for Android has long since offered a great set of features, bridging the gap between two of Google's foremost services. Today, the official app has been given a massive update, bringing the release number up to version 5.0. Full details of the improvements, as well as the download link, can be found after the break!
Apple is a company of exceptional uniformity, but with the iPad 4 currently taking quite a different shape to the iPad mini, reports of the next iteration larger device taking design design cues of the smaller slate have been plentiful. Today, new images have emerged supposedly depicting the rear housing of the fifth-gen Cupertino tablet, giving even more legitimacy to the notion that the iPad 5 will indeed be enveloped in a similar finish as the iPad mini.
Microsoft may have announced its Xbox One console significantly later than Sony did the PlayStation 4, but the software maker appears to be making up for lost time in spades. Today, the company has announced a boatload more games heading to its forthcoming console, bringing the current total up to fifty. With more on the way, we're finally getting down to the really tantalizing bit as far as the gaming community is concerned, and with such a wide variety of games now confirmed for the Xbox One, there's something for everyone.
As we continue to count down the days until September 10th's all-but confirmed unveiling of the new iPhone, an interesting tidbit has just surfaced courtesy of KGI Securities' resident Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Up until now, it was thought the iPhone 5S would retail alongside the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C as Apple's three options available to prospective consumers. However Kuo believes that instead, Apple could ditch the iPhone 5 completely, rather opting to keep the iPhone 4S running momentarily as the third-in-command to the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C respectively.
According to multiple reports floating around, iOS 7 beta 7 download is expected to arrive today for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Much has been made of the just-released indie movie starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, but while the blogosphere has continued to hype the Joshua Michael Stern flick, the first-weekend box office sales make for rather disappointing reading. Distributor of the Jobs movie Open Road Films projected a figure in the region of $8-9 million for its initial weekend, but Box Office Mojo estimates the number at just $6.7 million. Considering the movie's budget was around $12 million, it's certainly not bad going, but considering the stature of the man to which the film is based, one might have expected more movie goers to turn out.
After quite a bit of a wait, we've finally seen the first device born of Google's well-documented acquisition of Motorola. The Moto X Android Phone has certainly made waves since its grand unveiling, and like most new mobile products out of Mountain View, comes with one or two exclusive treats. The Active Display, for example, keeps users abreast of their notifications even when the device is locked, and if you've been impressed by the new feature, you can now enjoy something similar on any Android device.
The advancement of cameras within smartphones has prompted a wave of wannabe photographers, and with a seemingly endless list of apps available for said individuals to hone their new-found skills in the point-and-shoot department, mobile device owners are rather spoilt for choice. In terms of app categories, the photography section of the App Store is perhaps the most heavily loaded, and no matter what kind of snap you're trying to achieve, there's bound to be at least one hundred apps vying for your attention. But if you're hunting for something that can take burst shots like no other, then you needn't look farther than the appropriately entitled SnappyCam.
iOS has seen quite a few changes over the past few iterations, but while some, such as iMessage, have been every bit the success, other implementations feel somewhat unfinished, and it's fair to say that the multitasking feature is a prime example of this. The process of killing apps in iOS 6 makes us wonder whether Apple indeed intended to make things as cumbersome as possible, but joining the growing list of tweaks to help enhance this feature is AppSwiper, a new entry to the Cydia Store that turns the system on its head.
