Google Chrome for iOS is one of the biggest releases we've seen so far for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Maintaining a four and a half star rating on the iOS App Store and reviewed by more than a 1,000 users, it is definitely an instant success amongst the masses.
Although picking and choosing a smartphone from the hundreds available on the market can be a tricky task indeed, finding an adequate protective shell once you've unboxed your prized gadget can often be an equally tedious task. The case makers are vast, with each and every one looking to grab your attention, and although most fail with generic, unremarkable products, occasionally one does come along with that 'wow' factor.
Every year, Steam hosts its summer sale, and that time has now come. Those of you who enjoy playing and interacting on Valve's platform can now purchase some of your favorite titles and content for cheap, but you better be quick, since the annual promotional offer only runs until Monday, 23rd of July.
Assassin's Creed is one of the most popular gaming series around, and the action-adventure stealth title has millions of fans worldwide. To supplement the series, gamers will be pleased to learn that Ubisoft have laid on a series of iPad-exclusive comics named Assassin's Creed The Fall.
As with Instagram, which was recently bought out by Facebook for a whopping one billion dollars, I often wonder whether the guys over at Rovio could have predicted just how successful their mobile title Angry Birds would grow to become. Beginning on iOS, the title is now available on most platforms facilitating casual gaming, with Microsoft's Xbox 360, the Sony PlayStation 3, and Nindendo's 3DS also soon to join the party, as we revealed yesterday.
Grand Theft Auto has to go down as one of the most popular titles in gaming history. Often the center of controversy and slander thanks to its seemingly mindless levels of violence, it has, on many occasions, been blamed for invoking violent behavior from those who play it. That said, it's one of the longest-running series of all time, and as such, the anticipation for Grand Theft Auto V is extremely high.
Although we have seen snippets of what is purported to be the next iPhone, history forces us not to take anything as a given. In times past, the blogs and various tech affiliated sites have been almost certain of what Apple was preparing, only to be completely thrown off by the eventual product.

The Nexus line of Android smartphones is known for the pure Android experience that they offer, their direct support from Google and, more importantly for flashaholics, unbridled support from the Android developed community. These devices often get rooted and have a custom ROM ready before their public release.

I feel pretty confident in saying that any seasoned jailbreaker would agree to the fact that restarting an iOS device can be a painstaking chore. It doesn’t matter what type of jailbreak user you are, there comes a point in using the device where you just have to either restart it or respring it after installing a particular tweak or package.
Google Chrome has been available for iOS devices for just over a week and has already managed to steamroll its way to the top of the free download charts in the App Store. That fact alone should prove to doubters that Chrome definitely has a home on Apple's mobile platform, but as is always the case with a lot of high profile applications, they can and are always made a tad bit better with the help of the jailbreak community.
