Tim Cook and the official Apple websites around the world paid their own tribute to Steve Jobs in their own way yesterday, as did many others around the world who have been touched by the passion and inspiring glow that seemed to follow the late Jobs wherever he went.

The developer is said to have spotted signs of an "iPad3,6" device showing up in his app analytics - a model previously unknown. The device, which, taking into consideration the name, we'll presume to be an iPad, targets the new ARMv7s architecture used within the A6 SoC Apple has just showcased as powering the iPhone 5.

It may not be everyone's favorite subject but mathematics is integral to the world around us and plays a part in all of our lives in some form or another. Giving the importance of the topic, it makes perfect sense that mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad will have some pretty powerful and complex apps that allow us to learn math and assist in problem solving techniques.

PlayStation Mobile has just been released for Android, but as often the case with Sony, only certified devices have been able to enjoy the new app. Owners of the company's own branded smartphones and tablets - as well as some HTC One handsets - can download and begin using PlayStation Mobile, but for the tens of millions of PlayStation users and PlayStation Mobile fans not running one of those select few Android devices, a solution is at hand - providing you're rooted.
With millions of units flying off the shelves and plenty of back orders still waiting to be fulfilled; it is safe to say that Apple's new iPhone 5 has made a rather impressive start to its life in the real world, but that doesn't mean that every iPhone 5 owner is a happy camper. Any seasoned iPhone owner will remember when every iPhone box was packed with a white slab docking stand to safely and comfortably keep the phone upright while charging or syncing, but it seems that those days are long gone.
Announced back in mid 2011 and publicly previewed earlier this year, Windows Phone 8 is the next major release of Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform.

Apple’s very own Maps app which comes as a part of iOS 6 has been under fire for quite a while, but the decision to build their own vector-based mapping system definitely has some distinct advantages for iOS users.
