Remember the iPhone 5 Conversion Mod Kit we covered about ten days ago here at Redmond Pie? Well, after being stopped by Apple from selling their kit (for reasons we’ll discuss in a minute), the kit has been re-launched temporarily for people who missed it in the first round.
Photography apps are going hot on the iOS App Store these days, with the category being one of the most active in the marketplace and users downloading them by the bucket-load everyday. With that in mind, it doesn't really come as a surprise that developers keep pushing out powerful apps that make use of the embedded camera on iOS devices. The Gif Camera app is one of the more fun photography apps and has been made free by the developer for a limited time.
If you can't seem to decide between iOS, Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone, then worry not, when 2013 comes around there will be another new kid on the block in the form of Mozilla's Firefox OS. Although the company has been seeding early builds of the operating system to developers since summer and actually introduced it to the world during Mobile World Congress, there is little that we actually know about it.
Two days ago we discussed a report from Bloomberg which claimed that Motorola’s next smartphone - to be announced on September 5th at a joint event with Verizon Wireless - would have one very distinctive design feature: an edge to edge, bezel-less display. Later in our post, we provided two pieces of evidence that strongly suggest that Bloomberg’s claim would turn out to be true.
Samsung may have been shrouded in a little bit of controversy over the last few weeks and had their public reputation somewhat tarnished, but that doesn't detract from the fact that they produce some fantastic and popular devices, that are in some cases, ahead of the competition in the industry. I am willing to go out on a limb and suggest that their legal wrangling's with Apple are far from over, with more to come surrounding Apple's request to have specific devices banned in the United States, but until that day in court comes upon us, there is some good news on the horizon for Samsung Galaxy S III owners.
Angry Birds is one of those games which either invokes emotions of extreme joy with mobile gamers, or manages to send you down the other path entirely and frustrate and annoy you to the point of deletion. As an iPhone and iPad owner, the game has single handedly managed to drive me round the bend as well as filling countless hours of boredom with the excitement that comes attached with flinging rage filled birds with varying powers at lethargic and nomadic swine. Regardless of my personal love-hate affair with the Angry Birds franchise, it's an undeniable fact that Rovio has enjoyed phenomenal success with the game, and if the latest teaser is anything to go by, then it looks like we could be in for another installment.
If you happen to be a big fan of the Hollywood legend Bruce Willis, then I apologize in advance for not bringing you the latest news about his career and when his next blockbuster movie will be hitting the big screen. Best known for his role in some of the greatest action movies ever made such as Die Hard, The Last Boy Scout and the cult classic Pulp Fiction, it looks as though Willis is temporarily putting aside fighting on-screen villains and instead choosing to fight his next battle in the courtroom as he looks to extract some iTunes related privileges out of Apple.
If you were one of the many people around the world who took the plunge and purchased the Google Nexus 7 when it was first announced during the annual I/O conference back in June, then congratulations on making a great decision. Google has managed to work together with ASUS to design and develop a rather fantastic little tablet that really manages to sit in a class of its own within its size category. Google may not be everyone's company of choice, but they have managed to release a product that has immediately become one of the best tablets on the market for the price point it sits at.
Microsoft has been unusually quiet since the original announcement of their Windows 8 powered Surface tablet back in June. We have heard no new details regarding its most important aspect: pricing. While Microsoft ponders over the final price of the Surface, a company by the name of FVIEW is prepping to launch a tablet that looks almost exactly like Surface, but runs on Android! Check out the details after the jump.
The Galaxy S III handset brought with it a wide level of excitement from Android users who couldn't wait to get their hands on the powerful new device, but also from the wider technology loving community who couldn't wait to see which direction Samsung had taken with the successor to their insanely popular Galaxy S II smartphone. Judging from the sales figures of the S III, it doesn't look like consumers have been disappointed with the hardware, but there was one feature that was widely expected to be included, and was notably missing in action at release.
