Gameloft, arguably the foremost creator of premier mobile titles, could be about to bring its fist Android game powered by Epic's Unreal Engine, although there is no information available with regards to what the title might be. A teaser image has been released via Gameloft's Facebook page, and although the blogosphere seems, for obvious reasons, the title will be of the Android variety, the company is yet to confirm this.

As we head closer and closer to the months of September and October, rumors, reports, and leaks related to the next iPhone are becoming quite frequent. A few days ago, we saw purported images (and a video too) of the next iPhone with its body fully assembled, showing a smaller dock connector, a larger, more elongated display, and a metal back.
One of the most popular uses of the iPhone has to be mobile gaming. The App Store is packed to the rafters with numerous gaming titles, and it seems that more often than not, most of the top twenty five free and paid apps fall under the gaming genre. If you happen to be one of the those individuals who love a bit of mobile gaming then the chances are that you've heard of and experienced the Real Racing games that are currently in their second iteration.
Social networking sites have become such an integral part of our every day lives that I actually struggle to clearly remember a time when they weren't around. The need to be social has, and always will be, a part of our genetic make-up as human beings, but that has been accelerated to a whole new level thanks to the likes of Facebook and Twitter which allow us to easily connect and interact with people all over the globe. Facebook is by far the largest of the world’s online social portals, boasting over 900 million registered members, connecting people from all over the world together through common friends and interests.
Depending on which report you happen to come across, we could be anywhere between six or ten weeks away from a possible Apple announcement regarding the technical details and visuals of the next-generation iPhone. Over the last few weeks, it has been widely reported that the new iPhone will launch during the month of October, exactly twelve months after the announcement of the iPhone 4S. However, recent speculation seems to be pointing towards a September 12th Apple media event where we could see a new model iPad as well as a couple of new iPods and the new iPhone.
Want to watch the BBC's live coverage of the Olympics but don't live in the UK? No problem, thanks to a company that believes it has the technology to hook you up. The best bit? It's free, at least for now!
It is always a nice and refreshing change to see new designers, developers and manufacturers putting their brains into gear in an attempt to invent and produce a product that doesn't conform to normality and isn't just a blatant copy of something that is already out in the marketplace. Thankfully, that is exactly what Ballantine has done by introducing the world their wearable and programmable t-shirt that comes with an engaging built-in display that takes pride of the place on the stylish garment.
As part of their ongoing desire to produce innovative and truly remarkable products which push the boundaries of an already progressing industry, Apple has filed a patent application for a cover attachment that comes with an embedded flexible display. The application has been brought to public attention by the United States Patent Application Office that published it on their website this morning, but the interesting thing about this application is that it was filed originally in August of last year, only five months after the release of the initial Smart Cover with the second-generation iPad.
Apple and Samsung may be currently locked in a rather ugly trial centered around various alleged patent and design infringements, but that doesn't mean the owners of either company’s products needs to needlessly suffer. Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one of the products that finds itself right in the middle of the ongoing dispute between the two technology giants, but even in the midst of all the legal wrangling, it still manages to find itself receiving a nice new software update which brings new and improved Android features.
