Google has followed the lead of a number of other well-known developers in the last few days by pushing out a well-timed update for their official iOS Gmail app that brings full optimization for the latest Apple smartphone as well as offering support for iOS 6. The official Gmail experience can now be enjoyed across all of Apple's mobile devices that run iOS 4 and above, with iPhone 5 owners no longer needing to view their incoming mails through a letterbox interface.
Last week, we notified you of the Steve Jobs waxwork set to be arriving at the Hong Kong Branch of Madame Tussauds, and today, we've got a video of the fully finished statue. Uncannily similar to Jobs in many of his public appearances, it includes those trademark New Balance trainers, Levi Strauss 501 Jeans, and the turtle-neck jumper he was always dressed in.
Tim Cook's open letter, published earlier in apology to the public for Apple's shortcomings with the new Maps app of iOS 6, was certainly required to try and calm the storm which has built up over the past ten days. The letter itself wasn't particularly surprising, but Cook and Apple's decision to recommend other, rivaling apps for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users to utilize until iOS Maps is sorted out, was a bit of an eyebrow raiser; and now the App Store echoes those recommendations made by the company's CEO.
The HTC One X+ is, all things considered, fairly sought-after for those seeking a powerful, non-Samsung new Android smartphone, and although we’ve seen tidbits of information with regards to the upcoming device, O2 UK has leaked the juicy details through one of its sales magazines.

Having launched in the United States, United Kingdom and several other key areas last Friday, Apple has today further added 22 more countries to the roster, starting today where the new Apple flagship smartphone will land. Apple smashed first-weekend sales for any smartphone release by shifting in excess of an incredible 5 million units, and with the furor surrounding iOS 6 and Apple's own Maps offering, it'll be intriguing to see whether consumers who've had an additional weeks' wait will have been deterred.
Nokia’s Lumia 920 scored a lot of negative press from the technology blogosphere when it was discovered that the demo videos and photos they had shown at their announcement event were actually taken using professional DSLR cameras to “simulate” the smartphone’s advanced optical features.
Since the much-publicized IPO earlier this year, Facebook has worked tirelessly to improve its range of products and, most notably, monetize the huge mobile reach it currently possesses. A large chunk of the social network’s 900+ million users login using their smartphones and tablets, but Mark Zuckerberg’s company has, as yet, failed to turn those numbers into cold, hard cash.
Google today launched its latest Android app that it is hoping will become an indispensable tool when we all go out and explore the big wide world. In a similar way to how Google Now is aimed at giving users as much information at their fingertips as possible, Google's new Field Trip app promises to keep people in the loop as they take themselves on a mini adventure.
