Despite all the negative comments about its neither-a-phone-nor-tablet display size, the Galaxy Note is now among Samsung’s more successful products. According to official figures released in June, the company sold a cool 7 million units of the device seven months since its launch. Samsung later announced the technically improved Galaxy S III-based Galaxy Note II. Now, while the next Galaxy Note announcement is months away, the folks over at Concept Phones have come up with an interesting mockup called the Galaxy Note X. Check it out after the jump.
If you are still deciding whether or not Apple's latest iPhone release is the right device for you, then maybe you should consider listening to external opinions on that matter. It's understandable that a lot of consumers prefer to play the waiting game before purchasing a new device, opting to give it a few weeks after launch and see what owners have to say about the hardware after gaining some hands-on experience. If you are easily swayed by marketing releases, then AT&T's iPhone 5 related announcement could be the catalyst that sets you heading towards that pre-order button.
With the iPhone 5 stocks running dry within an hour of pre-orders going live a couple of days ago, Apple today has issued a press release stating that their latest smartphone has been pre-ordered a staggering 2 million times in just 24 hours.
The iPhone 5 event has been and gone, and although Apple didn't really announce anything that hadn't already been leaked or speculated about beforehand, it was deemed to be a major success. The immediate depletion of the pre-order sales stock confirms that Apple has a commercial success at hand in the for of the iPhone 5, but now that the excitement is over, consumers need something else to get their teeth into and get excited about.
If you find yourself regularly using an iOS powered device like the iPhone or iPod touch then the chances are that the official App Store is your best friend. One of the great benefits of mobile smartphones and tablets is the ability to carry around information with us at all times, but on occasion that information can become overwhelming and seem like there is just too much of it for us to manage. Being able to take snippets, screenshots or small parts of documents isn't a new thing and bookmarking services have existed for as long as we can all remember, but Clipboard for Clipboard.com attempts a new way of handling this action.
A few days ago, I reviewed Wonderful Days for iOS – an app that lets you maintain a diary / journal on the go. In that post, I mentioned Momento for people who wanted their journal entries to have more context in the form of tweets and Facebook updates they’ve posted online; I thought it would be a nice thing to review Momento on its own as it is a whole lot more than a diary with tweets / status updates.

Devices like the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad are becoming increasingly popular simply due to the fact that they allow users to remain connected to the surrounding world no matter where they are. The great thing about humans is that we are, by nature, a social species who love nothing more than interacting with one another and creating connections that last a life-time. Smartphones and mobile devices have allowed those connections to be made on the move and the UpTo app from Rock City Apps certainly makes that easier.
Both at the Yerba Buena Center keynote and later online, Apple made no mention at all of the specifications of the new A6 chip or the RAM inside the iPhone 5. It’s not even made known if the chip is dual-core or quad-core; we only found out about that yesterday when the folks over at AnandTech did some digging and discovered some very interesting things about it. Well, the same folks have now come up with information regarding the quantity, design and speed of RAM inside iPhone 5. Check it out after the jump.
When Apple announced the iPhone 5 at their recent media event, they lifted the lid on what was possibly the worst kept secret in the smartphone world. The numerous leaks that had emerged in the months leading up to the announcement had pretty much enlightened us on what to expect, and when Apple officially introduced the device, there weren’t any great surprises. With that said, one aspect of the device that hadn't had much pre-announcement coverage was the processor within the device, which turned out to be the new Apple A6 CPU.
You've already taken the time to wake yourself up at the crack of dawn to pre-order the shiny new iPhone 5, which in itself shows that you happen to enjoy the finer things in life when it comes to consumer technology. Sure, the smartphone market plays home to a large number of fantastic and highly capable devices, but the iPhone is the only one that seems to be surrounded by that sense of wonder and extreme levels of consumer interest.
