The wait is coming to a close, as the teaser tweet from Nokia USA aims to tout. The US division of the Finnish company tweeted a teaser image showing off two Lumia 1020 devices; one from the back with the impressive 41-megapixel PureView camera in all its glory, while the other showing the same device running - you guessed it - Instagram for Windows Phone!
Windows 8.1 and OS X Mavericks may be the two foremost operating systems available at desktop level, but they weren't always as slick, intuitive and feature-rich as they appear in the present day. Over the past 30+ years, the respective OSes for PC and Mac have seen many changes, and although we certainly couldn't go through a day using the old software from the eighties, nostalgic heads will probably want to check out an interesting Web-based emulator that runs both Windows 1.01 And Mac OS System 7. It's certainly a bit of a throwback, and even if you're not perhaps old enough to remember either of these vintage release, it's definitely worth taking a peek.
A few years ago, it would have been unthinkable for Apple to be preparing official support for gaming controllers on iOS, but the Tim Cook era of the Cupertino company seems a lot more open to new ideas. For quite a while, it's been of public knowledge that iOS would be allowing third parties to create gaming controllers for iPhones and iPads to take full advantage of the App Store's increasing gaming prowess, and MOGA's Ace Power effort looks to have been inadvertently showcased thanks to a YouTube clip.
There's always going to be a subset of the technology loving community that simply can't force themselves to get on-board with a particular piece of tech, but the overall opinion about Google Glass seems overwhelmingly positive thus far. The good news coming from Google today is that reports of a Google Glass Explorer Program expansion are most definitely true with Google themselves confirming the imminent introduction of an invite system.
Apple has officially published their latest financial results that give a thorough insight into how the Cupertino based company has performed in the last fiscal quarter. Many technology analysts and industry insiders have been using the days running up to the Apple Earnings Conference Call to declare their predictions that the company would fall short of projections due to lackluster demand for the iPhone 5 because new devices were on the verge of being announced. With posted revenues of $37.5 billion it seems that Tim Cook and his executive team can take a lot of positives from the financial performance.
Amid celebrating an unprecedented success in the gaming industry, it must have slipped the mind of the folks at Rockstar that its GTA 5 iFruit app for Android was still pending, and despite having released the iFruit app for iOS users in the middle of last month, it's taken a full six weeks for the Android version to manifest. With the launch having passed and GTA Online now well and truly establishing itself, the release of GTA iFruit seems a bit of a futile gesture, but nonetheless, it's now available over at the Google Play Store.
The iPad Air is almost ready for release, and naturally, Apple's accessory partners are hot on its tail. We've already seen the first batch of what Belkin has to offer the Cupertino's rebranded slab, and now, Logitech has come through with a substantial helping of cases and accessories for the fifth-gen iPad.
We all thought that writing down notes was dying off, especially with services like Evernote fast becoming the place where we put just about everything. Note-taking has become a much more digital experience these days, and jotting things down on an iPhone or iPad is just a way of life for many of us. But that doesn't mean that there isn't still a place for the humble pen, especially if there's a good way to combine the traditional act of handwriting notes with the highly organized, highly digital way that Evernote users would keep track of their notes. That's where Livescribe comes in.
Samsung may be currently sitting at the top of the tree when it comes to smartphone sales, but it seems that the competition isn’t ready to let the South Korean company have it all their own way when it comes to hardware innovation. Korea based LG Electronics may not currently be known for being Samsung's main competition in the smartphone game, but they may soon be competing against one another in the curved display stakes. After keeping quiet as a number of leaks flew around the Internet, LG has finally come clean and announced the existence of the LG G Flex handset, which aims to take on the Galaxy Round straight on.
If you've been patiently waiting for BlackBerry to give you access to its BBM service on iOS or Android then you're in luck, because the Canadian firm has now opened its instant messaging system up to anyone, allowing existing users to invite their friends to join them on what was once the world's up and coming instant messaging service.
