The mobile industry is currently a battle between two main platforms -- iOS and Android -- and although the fringe parties are struggling to keep up with Apple and Google's respective ecosystems, this hasn't deterred Canonical from taking its famed Ubuntu flavor of Linux and bringing it to the small(er) screen. Today, the company has released the first "true" version of Ubuntu Touch for mobile with the Ubuntu 13.10 update, and it has been optimized for a couple of Google's most significant smartphone releases including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and LG Nexus 4.
For a company that will ultimately live or die based on the interest shown in their product by the iOS community, it is vitally important to have a strong relationship with Apple Inc. In the case of Anki it can be pretty much be assumed that their bond with the Californian giants is relatively strong considering they were asked to unveil their maiden product - the Anki Drive - during the keynote speech of this year's Worldwide Developer Conference. That first Anki product managed to generate a lot of interest and it's now been announced that the innovative hardware will be available to purchase on October 23rd.
It's amazing what you can find when you go digging through various sections of Apple's iOS operating system. Those who have the knowledge and patience to delve into the inner workings of the software can often encounter some extremely interesting things that Apple may or may not want the average user to immediately know about. Before iOS 7 and the iPhone 5s was officially announced it was revealed that the OS contained references to biometric frameworks; a discovery that pretty much confirmed the existence of Touch ID. Now it seems like it's the turn of a couple of Apple's own iOS app offerings to come under the spotlight after new icons were discovered for the iOS versions of GarageBand and iPhoto.

The recent speculation surrounding South Korean based Samsung and the potential for a Galaxy S5 release date for January 2014 may prove to be nothing more than chit-chat, but one thing is for sure - the current Galaxy S4 model isn't selling as well as Samsung would have hoped.
There doesn't seem to be a shortage of big named companies that are prepared to jump on the wearable technology bandwagon. Samsung have recently hit the market with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, a device that has so far failed to impress anyone. A number of other large brands are rumored to be planning on getting in on the action with their own wearable but the latest to come forward with real intent is Adidas, one of the world's biggest manufacturers of sports clothing and accessories.
Does anyone else fondly look back on the golden days when the majority of companies announced a new product or service and then furnished us with a solid release date? No? Must just be me then. I do concede that the often cryptic clues that companies release surrounding potential releases can sometimes be fun to try and decipher and they certainly manage to keep us on our toes. The official Nestle KitKat Twitter account has been getting in on the action today by posting a number of tweets that could point to an October 28th release date for the next iteration of the Android mobile operating system.
Everybody loves to get something for free, especially if it's one of the most iconic video games the Xbox world has ever seen. The 2007 released Halo 3 is now being offered as a free-of-charge download for those Xbox users with a valid LIVE Gold membership package. With a standard sale price of $15 it represents a fairly impressive saving for those Gold subscribers who want to get their hands on their very own digital copy of Bungie's popular first-person shooter.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3, the new king on the throne that was crowned just last month when the device became available worldwide, brings a lot of improvements and enhancements over the former champion, the Note 2, in terms of software and features. Hardware was different, too, agreed, but it was mainly the software improvements that set the two devices apart, or, to put more appropriately, would make you cough up dough to get your hands on Note 3 instead of Note 2.
