Facebook only announced Facebook Home APK for Android recently, and the reviews are beginning to roll in alongside the first handset to fully support it our of the box, the HTC First, but the social network is not resting on its laurels. Instead, according to the company, it is currently working with two of the market's biggest players about bringing Facebook Home to their platforms.
One of Google's staple brands, YouTube has a presence just about everywhere. Today sees an update to one of the most popular YouTube apps around - the iPhone and iPad app.
Are you one of those iPhone users who are just simply too cool to walk around with the ringtone enabled on the device? I'm pretty sure we have all gone through a phase of leaving our devices permanently on silent in an attempt to escape the consistent ringing that comes from friends, family members and colleagues. And while it may be the best move for our social lives, it certainly does a lot for our sanity. If operating an iPhone in a permanent state of ringer silence is part and parcel of your daily usage cycle, then perhaps the new Calmi jailbreak tweak is worth checking out.
Since late last year, rumors of an upcoming iPhone have begun to take hold, with speculation only intensifying over the last few weeks and months. New pictures of the iPhone 5S motherboard have found their way onto the World Wide Web, leaving us to speculate whether these are real or just a quick Photoshop job.
Reports of Apple building an iWatch have gained a significant amount of traction over the past couple of months, and naturally, there have been plenty of suggestions that several rivaling companies could be about to make similar arrangements. Following on from reports that both Google and Samsung are considering this particular branch of wearable tech, The Wall Street Journal has chimed in news that Redmond-based software giant may too be working on such a device.
The wonders of technology seemingly know few bounds, but while we frequently see stories of how cool tech can be when traditions are broken and new benchmarks are set, it's always nice to appreciate that, in many cases, technology can be a truly inspiring, even life-changing commodity. This is certainly the case for 34-year-old Jason Koger who, having lost the vast majority of both of his arms in an accident, had a bionic limb fitted which is controlled, in part, by an iPhone app. What makes this story even more heart warming though, is that the limb has also allowed Koger, for the very first time, to hold his daughter's hand.
The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is set to proceed from the end of this month, although specific details on when the handset would land on each carrier have remained largely undisclosed. Today, however, a leaked document originating from US retailer Staples appears to have revealed the exact release dates for the handset on three of the big four carriers, and although the dates are described as "tentative," they at least offer a ballpark timeframe for consumers to begin preparing to make the purchase.
We've been witness to a number of changes in the past that have been introduced by Apple as part of their plan to enhance iOS and make it a more usable mobile operating system for its millions of users around the world. One of those changes that well and truly split opinion at the time was the introduction of the 'Camera Grabber' on the iOS lock screen that essentially allows users to launch the Camera app without having to unlock the device. Some feel that Apple should natively allow users to change the function of that particular button, but as we know where there is a will, there's a generally a jailbreak based way.
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.
We are fast approaching that time of the year again when the general public starts to wonder when Apple will release the new iPhone, and the industry analysts begin sharing their predictions on what the new iOS based hardware will actually look like when it is released. Over the last few months, we've heard murmurings about the potential of an iPhone 5S being announced during this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco. We have also heard speculation suggesting that the new iPhone could come in two different screen sizes to appease those consumers looking to get their hands on a 4.5-inch device.
