The iPhone 5, the New iPhone, the next-generation iPhone, Apple's latest iPhone. It doesn't matter what you are personally calling it or what you think the actual official name will be when the eventual time comes for release, the bottom line is we all want to see it and find out what they have in store for us. It has become part-and-parcel of the release build up for any iOS device that we see leaked parts and speculated technical specifications galore, and it has certainly been no different this time around. But could this new leaked image actually be of the official next-generation iPhone?
Sharing images with friends after a social event can be a real pain, especially since there are always those shots you want, but somebody else took, or vice versa. Nagging somebody to upload certain photos to Facebook or send them via email is a bit of a hassle, and in an age where our devices can do quite a lot already, sharing images should not be as time-consuming as it often becomes.
Here at Redmond Pie, we love mulling over old concept and prototype designs, so you can imagine our glee at stumbling across a large batch of images depicting iPhone ideas which were subsequently thrown out by Apple. But the images, which were brought to our attention by TheVerge, have surfaced thanks to the ongoing Apple vs. Samsung court battle, with the United States proceedings set to resume on the 30th of July, and they range from interesting, to strange, to the downright disgusting.
Seeing that we've been able to gather a few years of experience with touchscreen keyboards, they've become relatively easy to use for most, especially for simple and short search queries. However, if you want to add a more creative and personal touch to your input, you will be able to take advantage of Handwrite, which Google just announced. It's a new feature of Google's mobile search website that's actually built into the search webpage itself, so you'll be able to try this out on any touch-enabled smartphone (or tablet, for that matter.)
Every once in a while Microsoft gets ready to push out a new dashboard update for its Xbox 360 console. Sometimes a few cosmetic changes are all that console owners can expect to see. Sometimes, though, there are plenty of juice little changes for gamers to get their teeth into.
Cooliris, renowned for its sumptuous 3D browser add-on which offered a slick image-viewing experience, was always a rather nice idea without really making too much of an impact. Now, though, the concept has been duly enhanced, and with today's version 2.0 release over at Apple's App Store, it feels as though Cooliris has finally arrived.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion was released on the Mac App Store yesterday for a mindboggling price of just $19.99. It includes 200+ new features, most of which are taken – in one way or another - from iOS. It includes apps such as Notes, Reminders and Calendar, services like iMessage and Game Center and features like Twitter Integration, AirPlay Mirroring and easy sharing from system apps. The OS is getting excellent reviews from critics and, to be honest, it’s making some of us Windows users considering the thought of getting a Mac.
This month has been pretty big for Apple with ongoing patent issues with Samsung as well as the Wall Street earnings report and the release of OS X Mountain Lion into the Mac App Store yesterday. The end of this month also represents a fairly important time for the technology giants as their legal representative head into a trial with Samsung over alleged patent infringements with Apple looking to claim more than $2 billion in damages from the world’s largest smartphone vendor.
Introduced back in 2008, Facebook for iPhone is the most popular iPhone app to date. The reason behind this is simple: Facebook has almost 1 billion users out of which more than a quarter use their mobile phones to access the network.
Jailbreaking an iOS device to liberate it from the restrictions which Apple has placed upon it is an extremely gratifying process. We love the technology and software which the fruit company provides, but we also love to have the freedom to do what we want with our purchase and that includes being able to modify the way the operating system works and how the device looks and feels. With that said, there is possibly nothing more infuriating than having a favorite tweak or enhancement that gets left behind and doesn't work with updated versions of the operating system.
