Apple is extremely lucky to have such a cloud of interest surrounding their every move, including unprecedented interest in every hardware or software release which they introduce to the world. Every single generation of the iPhone has been more popular than the last one, with each new model doing a fantastic job of retaining customer loyalty while also managing to appeal to those who are deciding which smartphone route to go down for their next purchase. If the leaked images and reported design of the next iPhone are indeed accurate, then I won’t hesitate in saying that Apple are once again onto another winner.
It always manages to delight us when large companies and corporations release their applications onto devices like the iPhone and iPad which allow us to watch digital content such as movies and TV shows by streaming it through their app onto our devices. That's all well and good and presents itself as perfect situation in most cases, but what if we want to take advantages of AirPlay and want to wirelessly send that content to our high definition televisions? Not in this life. Certain providers believe that shouldn't be allowed and have removed this feature from their software.
When Tim Cook and his cohorts took to the stage to introduce us to the next-generation of iOS, we were pretty much expecting most of the announcements which were rumored beforehand. However, as the demonstration of iOS 6 continued, there was a couple of little additions that took us by surprise and had managed to slip through the rumor net which led up to the event. One of those surprises came in the form of Passbook, a new iOS stock app which offers a new and efficient way for users to store tickets, coupons, gift cards and vouchers in one central place for easy access later on.
As I'm sitting here writing this with my iPhone 4S sitting by my side, it's hard to get my head around the fact that in approximately four weeks time we will be welcoming the sixth-generation iPhone into the world. As somebody who has owned every iPhone since the original one which came out in 2007, it really doesn't seem like it has been over five years since Apple introduced their first smartphone that would ultimately end up revolutionizing an entire industry and make way for the introduction of another game changer, the iPad.
If you are sitting in the office right considering switching jobs, and you happen to have marketing experience that involves leading development of brand positioning, can demonstrate strength and passion for managing large virtual teams and have eight years of experience, then it is quite possible that Microsoft could be looking for you to help bulk up their marketing department in time for busy eighteen months. It shouldn't really come as a shock that Microsoft is looking for staff, but it's the actual content of the job posting that resonates with us and leaves us a little bit excited for the future.
Porting big name games to modern smartphones and tablets is something we hear about every now and then; whether it’s in the form of a professionally done port of Call of Duty, games that simulate other games or ports of older PC games done as a side project. We discuss such ports quite regularly here at Redmond Pie, and the latest of such ports is the latest game in the Doom series of video games. Check it out after the jump.
Anyone who is remotely interested in the release of next-generation Apple hardware must have been paying particular attention to all of the leaked images and reports that have been circulating around the world wide web for the last couple of months. Various sources have thrown up a plethora of photographs which show varying parts, that are speculated to be part of the sixth-generation iPhone, and will more than likely be introduced to us next month.
Although we have seen a few packages and enhancements for jailbroken iOS devices that allow users to copy information to the clipboard and then manipulate it in some shape or form, we haven't actually seen something that goes above and beyond the basic functionality and offers the end-user some additional power clipboard management features. Copying information to the memory of the device is a highly underrated feature and something that I'm sure a lot of people would like to see more attention given to.
Remote desktopping has long since been an integral part of computing, but tablet devices have made this practice a whole lot easier. The quality of remote desktop apps for mobile devices varies as much as the prices do, and although there are plenty available for both iOS and Android, only a handful of them seem to be worth bothering with.
OS X Mountain Lion has been with us for long enough, and users can form their own opinions on Apple's latest cutting edge operating system and certainly decide themselves if they feel it is an improvement over OS X Lion, or even the latest version of Snow Leopard if they refrained from upgrading to Lion. Judging by the fact that Mountain Lion notched up over three million downloads in twenty four hours and the Mac App Store is littered with positive reviews, it would seem that the majority have greeted OS X 10.8 with positivity.
