HTC has been delivering good news to consumers today, and it looks like it is about to continue for those smartphone owners who already use one of their Android powered devices. This morning saw the company announce the official details, device specifications and release date for the fabulous new HTC One X+ smartphone, as well as making it known that owners of the original One X and One S devices would soon be able to benefit from over-the-air updates that take them up to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Whether, in actuality, smartphones and tablets make us more organized, functional beings is a matter of debate, but certainly, being in possession of a device offering calls, SMS, web, e-mail and pretty much everything in between, is supposed to make our daily digital (and indeed, non-digital) errands just that little bit easier to run.
It may not be news that will appease disgruntled iPhone 5 owners immediately, but it looks like Apple could be working hard on a solution that could potentially lay to rest the issues surrounding accessory compatibility with iOS devices that are built with the company's new Lightning port embedded within. The launch of the iPhone 5 didn't throw up any surprises in relation to the smaller dock connector port, mainly due to the fact that we had already seen multiple reports of the change but that didn't mean it was any less controversial.
HTC has today officially announced details and specifications of their much talked about HTC One X+ handset that will be available in the Asian and European markets during October. The new physically imposing Android-powered handset is an evolution over the company's previous One X device, with HTC hoping that this latest release will take things to the next level and offer even more power and functionality to consumers.
If you are an iPhone 5 owner and looking for something that might enhance the sixth-generation hardware, then the Keyboard Buddy case might just be right up your street. The iPhone 5 dedicated case brings a fully-functioning keyboard that's ergonomically designed and beautifully backlit.
The iPhone 5 has been in the public domain for over a week now, and during that period it has managed to shift over five million units, showing just how popular the device is going to be. The initial popularity doesn't detract from the fact that a number of users have been experiencing issues with the sixth-generation device, one of which is centered entirely around a purple glare appearing on images taken with the 8-megapixel rear-facing camera on the handset. In a rather surprising email response, an AppleCare customer support agent has issued a response to one disgruntled photography fan.
Apple's two major operating systems - OS X and iOS - each have their distinct advantages, and in an attempt to pick the fruits of the mobile, touch-friendly iOS, Apple's OS X Mountain Lion included many features we'd become accustomed to on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. That's great if you've always wanted iOS features at desktop level, but what about the other way around? Have you ever fired up your iPad and longed for the OS X Dock, Finder or a fully-featured Safari? Well thanks to the upcoming Modbook Pro which we've covered earlier, you'll be allowed to enjoy all of Mountain Lion's features right from your tablet.
Although the iPad Mini, which has recently been speculated as launching later this month, doesn't have a solid list of leaked specs as yet, there have been plenty of mockups purporting to represent its final design. To give us an idea of how it'll stand against its competitors once released, Nowhereelse.fr has compared the mockup with the Google-ASUS Nexus 7, and the Kindle Fire HD, recently announced by online retailer Amazon.
The release of Windows Phone 8, and all the associated products and gadgets therein, has always seemed like a long way away, but with October now upon us, we're just a couple of weeks away from the big launch, and if you've been looking forward to owning one of the first Windows Phone 8 handsets, your wait is almost over. Today, the HTC 8X has been spotted in the wild - just a week after the highly-anticipated Lumia 920 was also spotted out and about - and the world gets its first glimpse at the Taiwanese company's Windows Phone 8 effort courtesy of some testing done on the streets of San Francisco.
With the launch of the iPhone 5 and subsequent furor regarding iOS 6, the murmurs regarding the iPad Mini have died down somewhat over the past couple of weeks. However, CNN Fortune has learned through a “major Apple investor” that the Cupertino, California-based company will be releasing invitations for the special iPad Mini event on October 10th. This not only indicates the launch will likely be toward the latter stages of the month, but also infers shipping will begin early November, as opposed to this month, as some had previously speculated.
