In an effort to convince existing smartphone owners to switch to Windows Phone 8, Microsoft has released an update to Windows Phone sync tool for OS X. Check it out after the jump.
Apple have just officially flipped the switch on the release of iOS 6.0.1 update for their sixth major iteration of the iOS mobile operating system for compatible iPhone, iPod touches and iPads. Users of Apple's mobile hardware found themselves able to initially benefit from the reported two hundred new features that were bundled into iOS 6 back in September when it first became available. iPhone 5 owners on the other hand had to wait an additional two days to get their hands on iOS 6 when the device launched around the world.
Visually speaking, iOS’ Springboard “launcher” hasn’t changed much over the years. If you look at the iOS 1 vs. iOS 6 image we’ve placed after the jump, you’ll find the preceding statement to be very much true.
It was only a matter of time before a UK court of appeal got involved and ruled that Apple's apologetic statement to Samsung on their UK customer facing website didn't comply with the original ruling.
We should all know by now that the large Retina display of the iPad lends itself perfectly to drawing apps, a multitude of which already exist on the App Store. The Zen Brush app offers similar functionality to a number of other drawing apps that are already available but bundled with the unique concentration on allowing users to paint, write and draw with a beautiful and realistic ink brush rather than a never ending set of pens and pencils.
Now here's something a little odd. In fact, the more we think about it, the more it doesn't really make any sense at all. Read on, and you'll see what we mean.
Nokia only recently claimed single -ore processors were all that was needed to power today's smartphones, though thanks to market pressure, compromised in bringing a dual-core chip to the Lumia 920. Look at the entire smartphone and tablet market, and you'll notice each vendor is following a similar motif in adding more cores as a form of natural progression. However, if you thought the Galaxy S III was a bit of a powerhouse with its quad-core Exynos processor, wait until you get a load of what Intel is cooking up.
The new Apple iPad mini is set to hit shelves this coming Friday and with the majority of pre-order models already sold out, it looks like the company has another early commercial success on their hands. Although consumers seem to have reacted positively to the new mid-range tablet, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the likes of Amazon have acted quickly in attempting to convince customers that they would be much better off buying the new Kindle Fire.
The reviews are in for the iPad mini, and as usual, Apple's hand-picked journalists (all of whom have a reputation for saying positive things about the Cupertino company's products, have queued up to pour a little pre-sale glory on the scaled-down tablet.
When it comes to a product launch, few companies manage to draw in the swarms of consumers quite like Apple does. Every time a new iDevice hits the scene, thousands of fans queue for long hours and in all weathers to be among the first to get their hands on it, and last month's launch of the iPhone 5 was no exception.
