Although Apple has now officially confirmed that there will indeed be a media event taking place on September 12th at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, we can all breathe a heavy sigh of relief and get our credit cards ready for whatever the company announces on that day. It's widely expected that Apple will introduce us to the sixth-generation iPhone, but considering the rumor that we will see up to eight new Apple products released between now and the end of October, the possibility still remains that the Cupertino giants could announce a couple of new iPods on Wednesday or even the new iPad Mini that we have all been expecting. The chances for the latter actually happening are extremely low, though.
If Angry Birds is the iconic representation of mobile gaming of the modern day, then FarmVille has to epitomize the social gaming made possible by the likes of Facebook. Having witnessed grown men discussing their virtual farms in Starbucks, it's a tad comedic to see just how gripped many folk were by the title, and for those who've just finished weaning themselves from the original edition of FarmVille, you'll be pleased to know FarmVille 2 has just arrived!
Apple has always been extremely quick to refer to the Apple TV as their "hobby" project whenever the little black box gets a mentioning at any kind of press event. When the second-generation Apple TV was announced and launched, I got the feeling that it was a result of damaged pride, with the company needing to prove that it could be a viable product after their initial soiree into the set top box market failure. Even though they have continued to develop the product, release a new and improved 1080p version of it, and dumped significant resources into it, they still publicly refer to the gorgeous little entertainment provider as a hobby.
Motorola has introduced three new phones at their joint event with Verizon Wireless just moments ago: the DROID RAZR HD, RAZR MAXX HD and RAZR M. Let’s discuss them bit by bit, after the jump.
Although the official unveiling of the iPhone 5 remains a week away, we already have a pretty solid idea of what'll be in store in terms of aesthetics and vital hardware specification. Yerba Buena in San Francisco, California will place Tim Cook and Co. in familiar surroundings come September 12th, and even though we've been treated to a glut of images and videos of the next-generation Apple smartphone, it now appears as though we've gotten our first look at the device in action. Well, sort of.
Windows Phone 8 was announced by Microsoft some time ago, and the recent special event gave us even further insight into the features on offer with the exciting, metro-laden user-interface. In order to retain interest in and anticipation for Windows Phone 8, the Redmond company held several features back since its original announcement, and at today's keynote with Nokia, it has been revealed the upgraded ecosystem will indeed include a screenshot feature.
After weeks and weeks of almost blind speculation, Nokia has finally taken the wraps off its Lumia 920 Windows Phone 8 device, which will no doubt serve as the company's flagship smartphone. With Microsoft allowing vendors to really push the hardware boundaries with Windows Phone 8, the Finnish outfit certainly hasn't disappointed with the 920.
If you're familiar with the process of flashing ROMs onto your Android device, you'll know that although it's usually a fairly simple set of steps, things can sometimes be tricky when modding and backing up is thrown into the mix.
With Apple sending out media invites today for the official unveiling of the next iPhone - or the iPhone 5 as the subliminal message reveals in the invite image itself - we’re just days away from getting a glimpse of what is going to be yet another game changing smartphone from Apple.
The patent fight has often been analogized as being like the Cold War, and it's a battle which Apple appears to be winning right now, given that Judge Lucy Koh recently ruled in favor of Apple in the well-documented San Jose fiasco. Samsung was hit pretty hard by the decision of the jury, and as well as losing a billion dollars plus (barring a successful appeal), the Korean outfit has been made to look like the inferior, copycat company.
