Cached files can readily build up on a smartphone or tablet, taking up vast amounts of excess storage space often without the knowledge of the device's owner. There are plenty of apps out there offering to help clear up these files, but App Cache Cleaner for Android packs in a decent array of features and notably, also does not require root access in order to function.
According to sources of Digitimes, Microsoft is planning to release the second generation of its Surface tablet computer at the BUILD Developer Conference commencing from June 26th. Digitimes is famously hit-and-miss with this kind of "upstream supply chain" information, but with the Redmond company certainly playing catch-up in the tablet market, a swift follow up to the inaugural Surface would certainly help the Windows maker's cause.
As well as the popular Galaxy S range, Samsung also has a semi-flagship device in the larger-than-life Note, often described as a "phablet" due to its sizable display real estate. As well as looking similar to each other in terms of form factor, the devices tend to use many of the same components, and according to a specs leak, the Galaxy Note 3 could be following in the footsteps of the Galaxy S4 by offering an octa-core processor.

The Loop's Jim Dalrymple, famed for his "Yep" responses in corroboration of Apple rumors, has pulled off his trademark one-liner once more on the topic of the Cupertino company's iOS 7 shipping on schedule. Earlier today, it was revealed that Apple was having some difficulty readying the next major revision of its mobile operating system, and with sources of AllThingsD suggesting that Tim Cook's men are in an iPhone/Leopard situation (pulling developers away from OS X development to muck in with iPhone), Dalrymple's sources also seem to be singing a similar tune.
It was leaked by two retailers last week, but Call of Duty: Ghosts was officially announced today, and we finally know when it will be available for us all to rush out and buy. More details can be found right after the break.
Often when in the midst of a major new smartphone release, Samsung provides prospective buyers with an opportunity to test out the new user interface by means of an online simulator, and with the Galaxy S4 perhaps being the company's biggest release to date, it should come as no surprise that interested parties have once again been presented with the opportunity to test-drive the device. The simulator is rather limited in what exactly it will allow you to do, but at least offers a vague idea as to what it's actually like to use the Galaxy S4. It can be accessed via the URL provided at the bottom of this post, and we've got all of the details coming up after the break!
The HTC One has made waves in its very short lifespan, with commentators tripping over each other to praise the beautiful, simple design and wealth of features. As we've seen with Samsung and other big-name vendors, releasing a cheaper, less feature-rich equivalent handset for those with less extravagant budgets is never too bad a call to make, and having begun retailing the One for upward of 800 bucks off-contract, it would appear as though HTC is going to be doing exactly that.
It's well documented that Jony Ive has transcended within Apple in terms of responsibility since Scott Forstall, the company's former Vice President of iOS Software, was rather unceremoniously ousted following the botched release of iOS 6. As well as being the lead designer of most of company's hardware, he has also assumed major responsibility for the iOS software, and although his visionary nature has led to many high-profile alterations with iOS 7, according to reports, and it's a move which could cause big delays and leave Apple behind, reports Bloomberg.
