The word innovation is something that is being thrown around the mobile computing and smartphone industries at the moment. Although it generally has an extremely positive meaning, it is currently being used in a rather negative context in discussions, or the lack thereof, within Samsung HQ. Not wanting to get bogged down by recent events between Apple and the Korean electronic giants in San Jose, it's probably time to step away from that trial and concentrate on the wonderful things which both companies are attempting to bring to the marketplace.
Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II is only a couple of months away from public release. To raise the excitement level just that little notch higher, the guys at Activision and Treyarch have today announced limited collector’s edition sets for their much awaited upcoming title.
Apple products are among the most frequently-plagiarized across the world, and even though the next-generation iPhone is yet to be announced, the knocker-offers are already hard at work creating devices similar to the upcoming smartphone.
If you enjoy being sociable, catching up on trends or just generally wasting time on the web, then the past week's releases will have been pretty useful to you. Facebook finally pulled its finger out and delivered a decent mobile app (well, at least for iOS), so your social networking can be done at light-speed, and now the new YouTube app for Xbox 360 is said to be up to five-times faster than its predecessor.
It's approaching that time of the year again when the live iTunes Festival begins, this time featuring a string of well-known artists who will descend on The Roundhouse in London to entertain the masses. One of the fantastic things about the festival is that every ticket is totally free of charge and lets music lovers see performances from their favorite artists while also letting Apple heavily promote the iTunes brand that has been so influential in the music industry over the last decade.
You may have thought, with the San Jose court ruling, Samsung has to pay Apple in excess of a billion dollars for infringing on its patents and keeping it cool for copying its ideas - at least for a bit. The video of Samsung's new Sydney retail store made us all chuckle a couple of days ago for its almost inch-by-inch emulation of an Apple retail store, and now, it looks as though the Korean outfit is after snippets of Apple's desktop operating system.
The release dates of the next downloadable content (DLC) of DICE’s popular title Battlefield 3 has been revealed! Check them out after the jump.
The Apple versus Samsung trial in San Jose has been grabbing all of the media attention in recent weeks, but now that the verdict is in and the judgment has been made, we can claw our attention back to what really matters, which in my opinion is the fantastic devices that both companies manufacture. Apple are looking to re-energize the smartphone industry with the announcement and release of the sixth-generation iPhone in the coming weeks, but until then our attention sits firmly with the gorgeous and very popular Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone.
I think it's a pretty safe to assume that many iPhone users have found themselves in a precarious situation of being out and about somewhere miles away from home - or any usable power source - only to answer a phone call or send that all-important text message and watch their phone power down as the battery sinks past that horrible 1% mark. It's a horrible but an oh-so-familiar feeling, and unfortunately one that comes as part and parcel of owning a portable but power hungry device like the iPhone.
If you happened to have saved up all of your hard earned dollars in order to eventually get rid of your virus magnet Windows-based PC and move across to a gorgeous but rather expensive OS X toting Mac, hoping to never worry about malware or viruses again, then it may be time to update your views and stop listening to internet chatter about how Macs can never get infections.
