The company might be in the process of being sold to Microsoft, but Nokia isn't going to sit on its hands and wait for the assimilation to happen. Instead, it's forging ahead with its new product lineup and perhaps the most interesting new device to be on its way out of Nokia is the Lumia 2520 tablet.
The new versions of Android have been arriving thick and fast over the past year, and although Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is still only a couple of months old, Android 4.4 KitKat has already been confirmed by Google. Since it first came to light that Android 4.4 was incoming, the tech world has been diligent as ever in its search for details, and has just unearthed some screenshots of the upcoming release in action. As you'll spot below, those previously-visited UI tweaks are present for all to see, as well as larger home screen icons.
Although the launch of Grand Theft Auto has been, as recently confirmed by Guinness World Records, an unprecedented success by all accounts, it's fair to note that Rockstar's efforts to get GTA 5 Online up and running has been more than a struggle.
Samsung, it would seem, simply cannot stop selling smartphones, and with the Galaxy Note having only been released a matter of weeks ago, rumor has it that the next flagship - the Galaxy S5 - could be set to arrive as soon as January. If true, it would be a real break away from the spring-summer launches we've witnessed these past couple of years, and would leave Galaxy S4 users feeling more short-changed than they perhaps already do.
What do you get when you lock two of the world's most rockstar designers in a room, infuse them with inspiration and throw a charitable cause into the equation? It might sound like the beginning of a terrible joke doing the rounds on the Internet, but the reality is actually a lot more inspiring, heart-warming and aesthetically attractive. What you actually get is a bespoke, purpose made work-surface crafted out of solid aluminum that has been designed to raise money for one of the world's worthiest causes.
Apple, known for its painstaking attention to detail and unerring design principles has been accused of losing its charm of late, with the iPhone 5c's official case proving quite the catalyst for much discussion about whether the Cupertino firm is as focused on the details as it used to be.
We may yet to have heard anything official from Rockstar Games, the creator of the record-smashing Grand Theft Auto 5, but Intel has chimed into GTA 5 for PC release by suggesting that a version for Windows computers will indeed be happening at some point in the near future. We already heard NVIDIA's director of investor relations slip that the popular title would be hitting the market at some point later on this fall, and although it's hard to take anything as gospel until we hear it from the horse's mouth, it's certainly encouraging for the many millions waiting for that PC release.
We know what you Android users have been thinking: there is nothing worse in this world than thinking that you have root privileges on your favorite smartphone or tablet only to find out they have magically gone missing. Okay, so maybe the harsh reality of life does throw a few challenges at us that are significantly worse than that, but it can still be extremely confusing, annoyingly problematic when such a thing occurs without warning. If you've found yourself in this head-scratching situation then it's time to check out Simple Root Checker.
Apple's incredible growth over the past ten to fifteen years has seen replications of its iconic Retail Store crop up all over the world, and as already confirmed by CEO Tim Cook, Turkey is about to get its very first. The big city, Istanbul, will play host to the unmistakably distinctive retail outlet, and specifically, it will reside within the Zorlu shopping mall.
With Twitter having recently made like Facebook and gotten its IPO filing - and inadvertently revealed the IPO date as being November 15th - the company will really need to pull its finger out and begin impressing shareholders, particularly in mobile space. As with Facebook up until recently, the official Twitter apps have been rather lackluster, outshone by various third-party offerings, but with Mark Zuckerberg's rivaling social company now offering top-notch apps across the board, we'll be hoping for more of the same from the guys behind The Twitters.
