If this post makes next to no sense, we apologize in advance, but we're sure you'll forgive us just this once when you realize why. See, we've just learned that VideoLAN is set to bring VLC player for iOS back to the App Store, and as if that wasn't already great news in itself, here's the kicker; it's coming back tomorrow.
There's nothing worse than being in the middle of an action packed multiplayer shooter on your smartphone only to have someone call you right at the worst moment. You're immediately kicked out of the game you were playing, and if you're really unlucky that game will have reset, losing all your progress since the last save. It's an annoyance that's not just reserved for games, either, and something that many jailbreak tweaks on iOS have sought to correct.
The HTC One has been a true competitor in the high-end Android game these past few months, but since it also has a high price to suit its stature and quality of build, not all fans have been able to run out and make the purchase. If you've been sold by the One's design but don't want or need such a high caliber of smartphone, you may be interested in the HTC One mini, which after umpteen rumors, has just been officially announced by the Taiwanese company.
As a long-time user of the iOS operating system through a number of devices, I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with the autocorrect feature, which can often decontextualize or otherwise make nonsense of my hurriedly typed messages. It can be of immense annoyance at times, but hey, it’s there to help us type in an efficient manner, so we begrudgingly persevere. However, while the system also tries to learn certain utterances we tap in on a regular basis, there appears to be a list of controversial, edgy, or potentially inflammatory phrases and words that autocorrect simply won’t autocorrect.
As a continuing sign that Google means business when it comes to getting the best experience for its products onto iOS, the search giant and social network has today offered up a sizeable update to one of its most popular apps for the iPhone and iPad; Google Chrome.
The follow up to the Nexus 7 has been a hot topic in the blogosphere of late, and now, we may well have the prices of each different configuration of the forthcoming device. Through a leaked inventory screenshot, which could easily have been faked, show a 16GB model priced at $229 along with a 32GB version, which hits the mark at $269. As we've come to expect from the entire Nexus range, the prices are more than competitive, and with an impressive list of rumored specs to match, there's much to look forward to with the next-gen Nexus 7, or the Nexus 7 2 as we like to call it.
Whenever a big company announces an impromptu special event, chins begin wagging as to what products or services said company will be bringing to the table. With the incessant talk of a follow up to the ASUS-manufactured Nexus 7 arriving soon, it's more than likely the Android community will begin talking and speculating about its possible announcement this time next week.
Apple may be keeping quiet on what it has planned for the next iPhone, and indeed when that next iPhone will be made available to us mere mortals, but that isn't stopping anyone and everyone claiming to have the inside scoop. The latest line out of Taiwan comes courtesy of the Commercial Times, who are suggesting that Apple's next iPhone - the iPhone 5S, they call it as opposed to iPhone 6 - will not be going into production until later this year. The delay, the publication claims, is being caused by Apple's late decision to jump from the expected 4-inch display to a new, larger 4.3-inch part.
Although the vast majority of Windows Phone 8 apps found over at the WP Store are available to any and every consumer in ownership of a Windows Phone 8 device, the same cannot be said for those thrown out by OEMs. With the exception of Nokia Maps and one or two others, those without the OEM-branded device have had to survive without the apps that particular manufacturer has thrown out for its handsets. Thankfully, there's a workaround at hand, and it arrives courtesy of none other than XDA-Developers in the form of Nokia Portal.
It was just a few days back when Google Maps 7.0 APK for Android was released, and the same day, the Big G also promised that the iPad version of their famed Maps offering was on its way. Having stayed true to their word, version 2.0 of Google Maps for iOS has been released. We have all the details and the download link right after the jump.
