No matter how advanced technology becomes in the future, it's unlikely they'll be able to change the weather, but with the right application on tow, one might be able to prepare themselves adequately for what might be ahead.
The initial announcement and showing off of the iPhone 5 seemed to bring that old familiar deja vu feeling, with many outlets and analysts saying that Apple hasn’t done enough this time around to win the hearts of consumers, and their latest smartphone release won't capture the imagination of potential customers. Anyone who made an attempt to pre-order the new iPhone 5 this morning will more than likely tell you that this just simply isn't true, with the same difficulties being faced due to high demand and Apple's online store getting hammered from all angles.
Mobile devices are not just great for calling, SMSing, browsing the web, sending e-mails and increasing productivity, but are also more commonly being used as high-spec gaming machines. With even your average smartphone or tablet device packing in multiple cores, one can immerse oneself in console-standards of gaming, and year by year, we're seeing many of the big publishers embracing mobile.
Regardless of what side of the fence you happen to sit on when it comes down to the old and rather tiresome Android vs. iOS debate, the fact remains that each of the mobile operating systems has definite benefits over the other. The flip side is also true that each of the firmware comes with a definitive set of issues that can, on occasions, deter users from purchasing a device that runs them. One of the oldest myths that still seems to get airtime is that iOS is security tight, but we have seen that disproven on multiple occasions. However, even though Apple still has a little work to do with iOS, the latest reports suggest that Android users are definitely at risk.
The iPhone 5 is here, and while some have pre-ordered it in a dizzy state of excitement and anticipation, some - few - despise it, and while others are thinking about purchasing it, there're likely hundreds of millions out there that simply cannot afford it.
The iPhone 5 will begin selling to consumers from the early morning hours of September 21st, and with the Cupertino's latest and greatest smartphone retailing at hundreds of dollars ($199 minimum, and that's on contract), it's always intriguing to see just how much the individual parts cost each.
Back in July, we discussed an app called Savi People that provided a very powerful unified communication experience by integrating your iOS device’s contacts with friends on Facebook, followers on Instagram and Twitter, and connections on LinkedIn. It has been updated to version 1.3 now which includes an important group-messaging feature, and the developers have also released a free, limited version alongside as part of the update. Check it all out after the jump.
S Voice for Galaxy S III may look and work a lot like Siri for iPhone 4S, but it has been shown in multiple tests that both voice-based services are, in most ways, inferior to Google Now that comes built-in with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Gaming on a Mac has been stale until recently, with so many titles being pushed out onto the Mac App Store, developers are finally realizing the potential a Mac holds when it comes to gaming.
Earlier, we brought you the ultimate battle of the two most popular smartphone vendors and their flagship devices. Having assessed the iPhone 5 of Apple and Samsung's Galaxy S III, we found both to be technically advanced, and the differences between the two - such as screen and device size - are only important if one prefers a large display, or a smaller one.
