If there are two things that Android has over its iOS competition, they are both personified by the app we are about to tell you about. It is an app that would never see the light of day in Apple's App Store, and shows just how useful having a wide open app development playing field can be.
The rise of Instagram has seen a boom in accompanying image-editing apps, and because there are so many around, developers are having to work harder and harder to offer something quirky and unique in order to entice the increasingly-fickle mobile community.
While the MacBook Air has garnered a strong following for its ultra-sleek design and form factor, the MacBook Pro remains a beautiful marriage of craftsmanship and high-end hardware. Recently, there's been talk - since quashed - of the Pro following the motif of the Air in bringing a sloped shell, but despite not expecting such a design from Apple any time soon, that hasn't stopped designer Guilherme Schasiepen from spreading his wings and teasing a truly marvelous-looking MacBook Pro concept.
As well as being a great opportunity for Apple developers to learn of the latest and greatest advancements within both iOS and OS X, WWDC has been the springboard for many a significant announcement over the years. With the event to kick off in just two weeks' time, there's plenty to be excited about, including details of Mountain Lion and of course, iOS 6, which is set to finally be unveiled to the world at some point during the course of WWDC'12.
The next iPhone, which has unofficially been dubbed the "iPhone 5," is expected to arrive some time later on this year. From reports, rumors and leaks gathered hitherto, it will remain the same width and of a similar depth to the current iPhone 4S, but the screen - and subsequently the device itself - will become longer, adding more pixels while keeping the same pixel density of the Retina display seen in Apple's flagship device of today.
Like most iOS users, I rely heavily on Google Maps to spring to my aid whenever I become lost. The days of preparing a journey turn-by-turn in advanced are long gone, in my opinion, and I usually aim for the vicinity of my goal destination and type in the postal/zip code again to check the exact spot once I'm there.
After the announcement by Samsung of its eagerly-awaited Galaxy S III back on the fifth of this month, consumers have had to remain content with video reviews and hands on previews in order to catch a glimpse of the device. The wait for the release is finally over, though, and the grand launch is today taking place across 28 different countries.
Some detective work by a popular online gaming blog has turned up some potential evidence that a new Avalanche game, Just Cause 3, is on for a release alongside Microsoft's next Xbox console, with a PlayStation 4 versions also to begin development.
Although the Samsung Galaxy S III has yet to be released, the Android community is having a field day in extracting some of its prized exclusive features and porting them through to other devices on the market.
PaperLock is a tweak which is set to land in Cydia very soon that brings a variety of different transitions to a jailbroken device’s lock screen. The package itself comes from well known iOS developer Chris Simpson, also known as Apocolipse throughout the online world, with users probably being more familiar with his RecognizeMe package. When it comes to the PaperLock tweak, I think it is worthwhile that we should immediately differentiate it from the Unfold and Unlockize tweak, which alter the transition that is applied when unlocking the device but all offer different and unique implementations.
