The tablet industry has had plenty to talk about given last week's introduction of the Microsoft Surface, and now, according to a leaked internal training document, we've a stronger insight into what we can expect from Google's Nexus tablet.
We are all hoping that everyone at Apple headquarters will wake up in an extremely good mood one day and decide that it will be a perfect time to arrange a spur of the moment media event, announcing the immediate release of the new iPhone. However, we all know that the likelihood is we won't see a hardware release until October of this year, but that doesn't stop us from speculating and discussing what Apple's next-generation iPhone will bring.
Pretty much every regular user of the internet will have heard of, or used torrent files and services in order to download some type of content. I'm also pretty sure that the majority of world wide web regulars will have either a basic or a premium Dropbox account, something that is a perfect solution for storing files in the cloud that can then be synchronized across multiple devices and machines.
The social network behemoth, Facebook, is undeniably the company of the moment after hitting the headlines in recent weeks for not only snapping up the popular Instagram mobile app in a one billion cash plus stock deal, but for also becoming a public company with its initial public offering.

I’m a big fan of music discovery services but, unfortunately, the most popular ones like Pandora, Spotify, last.FM don’t work outside a handful of supported countries where streaming music from big music labels is allowed. Outside these countries, you have services like GrooveShark which, really, is the poor man’s Spotify. There is, however, one not-so-famous service that not only works outside the USA and Europe but also offers excellent music discovery features for free.
The iPhone 4S takes photos that one would generally expect from a (low-end) dedicated point-and-shoot camera. In smartphone speak, that is class-leading image quality.
I would feel quite confident in going out on a limb and guessing that most owners of the iPad use the device in some form to scroll through albums of images and photographs. The large and engaging display, especially the Retina screen on the new iPad, is perfect for reliving the memories that photographs portray with the iPad also offering excellent multitouch and zooming features for viewing photo details.
Remember Apple’s suing spree of 2011? The company filed lawsuits against multiple popular Android manufacturers like Samsung, HTC and Motorola in regions across the globe from USA all the way to Japan. A few weeks ago, Apple sued Samsung again on basis of their Galaxy S III; while that and many other cases are ongoing, one very major case in one very major country has been dismissed – that of Apple vs. Motorola Mobility.
