Sony's PlayStation Vita is on its way to becoming an impressive mobile gaming system, but could apps potentially be where its strengths really lie?
I personally feel that Android needs a strong, unified syncing solution that harmonizes your desktop computer with your smartphone and tablet. Apple has got this nailed with iTunes and iCloud but Android is severely lacking in this department; users have to install a bunch of different apps that sync different kinds of files: you have Dropbox for photos/videos, Google Docs for documents, doubletwist’s excellent AirSync app or Google Music for your music library etc. etc. Android enthusiasts tend to see this as a plus on Android’s part but I don’t.
The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 was (and arguably is) one of the most talked about Android tablets, and for good reason - it packed premium hardware, is developer-friendly and still receives support from its manufacturer. Yes, the Transformer TF101 received Ice Cream Sandwich just a few days ago and it has already been rooted on it. We’ve got an easy step-by-step guide ready after the jump for those of you who are on Windows. Check it out after the jump!
Progress on official CyanogenMod ROMs was pretty slow these past few weeks because of the lack of build servers. The CyanogenMod team asked for donations for new servers and a large number of people from the Android enthusiast community responded to the call.
With the expected announcement of the iPad 3 coming in the next few weeks, the bar looks likely to be raised once again by the Cupertino company, meaning we will look forward to seeing what competitors come up with in the coming months in an attempt to compete with the famous Apple tablet. In the meantime, Korean-based Samsung have taken the opportunity to announce a new tablet device to its Android line up.
We have recently brought some news regarding the Samsung Galaxy S III handset, which was originally set to be announced and shown off at this year’s Mobile World Congress which is happening in Barcelona as we speak. However, Samsung decided not to showcase the new handset at the MWC, instead opting to delay the announcement amid rumors that they wanted to unify a global launch date for the device which could happen in as many as fifty countries or cities in one go.
With us only about a week away from the rumored iPad 3 launch date, AYTM (aptly an acronym for Ask Your Target Market) have prepared an infographic about the shiny upcoming tablet that answers various questions about consumer intent to upgrade, and consumer use of the previous and current iteration of the device.
VLC Media Player is one of the most popular media players on the desktop, and with good reason - it is free, light on system resources, works on multiple platforms and will play just about any kind of media file you throw at it.
Today, during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Vimeo have pushed out the major update to their iPhone app that they said was coming earlier this year. Finally introducing a proper, native iPad UI, the update also packs improvements to the iPhone UI, on top of an array of other enhancements.
Ah Skype, the world wide web’s voice-over-internet protocol of choice and probably the most well known brand name to offer VoIP services. When Niklas Zennström originally created the Skype service, I often wondered if he had any idea that it would become such a popular platform around the world and that the might of Microsoft would ultimately come in and acquire the company like it did last year. For those that may have been living under a rather large rock for the last few years, Skype allows registered users to make worldwide voice calls via the internet as well as offering instant messaging-type services and is available on multiple platforms.
