After going AWOL from the Microsoft Windows Phone Marketplace for a short while, instant messaging app WhatsApp has now reappeared, allowing users to download it once again. Importantly, the app is still free, just as it was before it went missing.
Way back when, before Apple officially announced the iPad and speculation was rife as to what the iPhone maker would make of a tablet device, we all wondered whether we would get an iOS tablet, or a Mac-like slate. We really didn't know for sure, and many people hoped, even begged that Apple would bring OS X to the touch-screen market.
As the release date of the new iPhone draws near, it isn't just the hardcore Apple or technology fan that is waiting to get their hands on said device. Spare a thought for those hardworking iOS developers who spend most of their days lovingly crafting fantastic and beautiful apps that make our iPhone experience all it can be. Keep those developers in your mind when Apple releases the new iPhone with the purported larger display that wreaks havoc on apps that have been designed to look stunning on the existing Retina display.
When we talk about jailbreaking an iOS device, the large majority of people conjure up images of running software like Redsn0w or Absinthe to liberate an iPhone, iPod touch or an iPad. Granted, those devices are the most popular and more of those particular models are in circulation but it's important to not exclude the fantastic Apple TV product when discussing the art of jailbreaking. At the time of writing we currently have the second and third-generation Apple TV units in circulation, with a jailbreak only being available on the former of those two models at present.
Although mobile devices offer a seemingly endless plethora of connectivity options, sharing media between devices can still be rather tricky. If you're an Android user, things aren't as stringent as they can often be on iOS, but even so, only a small number of Droid devices actually offer any significant form of Wi-Fi sharing.
The murmurs and speculation with regards to Apple's entertainment of a smaller iPad has fluctuated over the course of the past six months or so, and although the fruit company dominates the tablet market with an iron fist, bloggers, analysts and commentators seem generally convinced Apple will release a downscaled tablet to see off a lingering threat.
Spy Tools for Kids is hoping to take advantage of the lucrative children's app market with a three dollar app that promises to keep kids entertained for ages. There is no age restriction on Apple's iOS devices, which is a good thing when you consider that the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch are possibly at their most popular amongst kids. Children of all age ranges are picking up iOS devices and having fun with them, almost guaranteeing a never ending supply of customers for Apple in the future.
Swipe Launcher for Android gives users a way to change which apps are launched when they swipe upwards from the bottom of their smartphone’s screen. Android's biggest claim to fame has to be its ability to be customized in just about any way imaginable. If you want to change the way your Android smartphone works, the chances are that there is an app, a tweak, or a widget that will make it happen for you. As polished as iOS and Windows Phone may be, they just don't sport the same level of customization.
The Internet is a wonderful place. Many of us get lost in cyberspace on frequent occasions whether we're wolfing through YouTube, researching something on Wikipedia, or allowing Google to answer all of our burning questions. Many have attempted to visualize the Internet in the past, but Russian programmer Ruslan Ekineev has created an out-of-this-world depiction, which he calls The Internet Map, and it's certainly something of a masterpiece.
As well as revolutionizing the way we interact with technology, the development of the smartphone market post-iPhone and the tablet market since 2010's iPad release has really driven up the standards of hardware, and faster processors and GPUs are being produced at quicker intervals than ever before.
