It's as much of a yearly tradition as the iPhone release itself, and some would say it's even more fun. That's right folks, it's that time of year when we all start guessing what Apple will do with the next big release of iOS. This year's version number of choice is 7.0, and plenty of people are taking the opportunity to lay out just what they want out of Apple's next big release of iOS.
The stock Messages.app on the Apple iPhone is undoubtedly one of the most used apps that exists on the device. Sending and receiving text messages as well as multi-media communications and iMessages are all handed through Apple's native Messages app, and although it hasn't changed a great deal in the last six years, it still remains extremely functional. It's usually been left up to the jailbreak community to bring additions to this application in the past, and now is no different with the new MessageSwiper package that brings additional power to the app that is likely to be extremely well received.
Waiting for an important event in your life is never fun – in fact, it’s simply waiting that isn’t much fun anyway. Nevertheless, when something exciting is going to happen, you do tend to count down the months, days, hours and even minutes down to the exact moment that it comes to your life. Counting down to an event is something that has been around for a long time, with a time where people used to mark off important dates on their wall calendars and then crossing off the remaining days as they approached closer. Where technology has made so many improvements to other areas of our lives, it has also impacted this area, and if you own a smartphone, you’re bound to have some sort of a countdown app that will help you keep track of exactly when something of worth to you is going to happen. In its most basic form, these apps are usually countdown timers embedded within the stock clock app on your device.

New reports suggest that Samsung has finally heard what everyone's been saying for quite some time; its handsets just don't look or feel as nice as some of the competition.
When any company launches a new product, an ad campaign is just part of the process, so it should come as no surprise to see Facebook showcasing its new Facebook Home APK for Android launcher in an ad for exclusive carrier partner AT&T. What is rather surprising, however, is that the star of the "Launch Day" ad is none other than the social network's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who, in excitedly attempting to gee his employees up for the big launch, finds the workforce unresponsive, instead completely immersed in the experiences offered by Home. Check out the ad itself after the break.
For me, one of the greatest features of the smartphone is the ability to tether out a connection to a computer, laptop, tablet, or any other compatible Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled device. When on-the-fly, it means I don't have to waste any time sourcing a decent hotspot, and can instead get on with the task in hand. While most smartphones offer this feature natively though, often it is hidden which means you can often browse the Web on your smartphone, but cannot replicate the experience on your external device. Hotspot Control from Chainfire is a nifty little app which will enable (or indeed disable) the hotspot feature of your Android, and so if you've been having trouble accessing your hotspot settings, you may want to give it a try.
With Google commanding such a huge presence in the productivity field nowadays, every new app the company drops is treated as the next big thing. This trend continued with the announcement of the Google Keep app, which integrated a simple, effective note-taking facility into the Google Apps infrastructure, and as well as popping up on Drive, the customary Android app was also released to the Play Store. The market for apps that let users quickly take down lists, thoughts and musings is extremely fierce though, and although Google Keep won't be struggling for competitors, another has just arrived in the form of a very nicely polished app called Got-It.
The ownership of a high-end smartphone comes at an equally high price, and I'm not just alluding to the dollars in your bank account. Thanks largely to all the of the great hardware packed into the modern handset, the battery is now more strained than it has ever been, and although the vast majority of devices can manage a day at the office without seizing up, it mightn't allow you to play any Infinity Blade on the train journey home. As such, many of us get out there and hunt for a decent battery case to provide that extra lifeline, and although there are some really solid efforts out there, the ZeroLemon pack for the Samsung Galaxy S III easily offers the very best value for money, and by best, we mean the very best.

Yesterday saw the conclusion of the Hack In The Box conference over in Amsterdam, an annual event where some of the most talented hackers and security experts gather to share insights, knowledge, and discoveries. The event saw some very interesting talks, particularly one in which pilot-turned-security-guru Hugo Teso showed how he could commandeer a Boeing jet remotely using an Android smartphone, but one which will certainly pique the interests of some Redmond Pie readers was that of the Evad3rs jailbreak team.
