Motorola's highly anticipated Moto X is set to be officially announced on August 1st, but at this rate there won't be much left to announce. After leak upon leak over the last few weeks, today sees yet more images of the unannounced Google Android-powered handset.
You can now download Google Play APK 4.2.3 for Android, which contains one or two intriguing alterations. The APK also sheds some light on the expected multiple user functionality of Android 4.3.
Not a day goes by right now where we don't receive a new concept video or image into our inboxes, and most of the time that concept revolves around the iPhone. Be it the rumored iPhone 5S, or the budget and so-called iPhone Lite, concept videos in particular are cropping up more and more often. Throw in those showing what people think next year's iPhone 6 may look like, and that's quite a few concept videos hitting our inbox on a weekly basis.
If you've ever held off buying an iPhone because it was just too darned expensive, then it's looking increasingly likely that you'll be good to go some time later this year. Rumors of a new, budget iPhone have been doing the rounds for a good while now, and even the most skeptical amongst us has to surely admit that a cheaper iPhone is more of an inevitability than a possibility at this point.
Folks are always looking for easy ways to make money, and with advertisements as prominent as they've ever been in this Digital Age, it's perhaps more surprising we don't see many more apps like Locket, a new Android gem allowing users to earn a cent by unlocking their ad-befuddled lock screens. With a maximum of $0.03 cents to be earned per hour, the maximum one could amass during the course of a year - working 24 hours day - is little over $250, and considering the amount of effort involved, Locket won't be making anybody rich anytime soon; except its developers.
Cloud-based productivity apps have long since been seen as the naturally progressive route of the industry, with Microsoft's Office 365 having enjoyed a relatively successful launch since first hitting the scene earlier this year. Given how Apple's flagship cloud service has quickly established itself as a secure, reliable and popular service, it was only a matter of time before iCloud and iWork joined forces in offering another dose of collaborative cloud fare, and the iWork for iCloud beta implementation has just begun rolling out to non-developers.
VideoLAN's VLC is a media player used by millions worldwide on a daily basis. Famed for its robust functionality along with its ability to handle anything thrown at it with relative aplomb, VLC spans most of the major platforms, including Windows, OS X, and Android. One place it has never managed to established itself is the App Store, having been acrimoniously pulled by Apple's armed moderation team, but today, and as promised by the team yesterday, VLC for iOS dramatically returns for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Details after the jump!
Google’s event in San Francisco on July 24 seems to be just around the corner, and as the highly anticipated date approaches, leaks and rumors seem to have increased manifold. Now, thanks to Android Central, we’re seeing what might be some leaked photos of the new 7 tablet in the Nexus line up.
One of the biggest challenges faced with using a Windows Phone device is the lack of customization options. The operating system is beautifully designed, there’s no denying that, but there’s pretty much nothing that you can do to spice up your Windows Phone experience. In Microsoft’s OEM partners, Nokia remains the only one that has had any luck changing some aspects of the operating system, but only within certain limits. Now, it seems that independent developers have taken it upon themselves to come up with concept apps that could actually serve as a guideline for Microsoft (or Nokia, for that matter) to understand how it’s properly done. Meet Nokia sWiPe, a new app debuted for free on the Windows Phone store that vitalizes the concept of a notification center on Windows Phone, as well as borrowing certain features from the likes of MeeGo. More past the jump.
Changing how iOS handles notifications is one of the biggest reasons to jailbreak, at least in the pre-iOS 7 beta days. There are countless tweaks in Cydia for doing just that, and as many again that change the way the iOS lock screen looks and functions. It's arguable that the lock screen is the area of our iPhones that we see the most, so having it work just the way you like it can be of high importance to many - that's probably why there are so many tweaks, really.
