How many times have you forgotten to send an email, make a phone call or send a text message? If you're anything like us, then you're probably forgetting way more often than you are remembering. It's pretty important stuff, too. Forgetting to send a happy birthday text can cause more trouble than you would ever imagine, and we've all been there.
Despite actually being an altogether solid OS revision, Ice Cream Sandwich has struggled to reach the number of devices Google would have liked. Up until a couple of months ago, when Samsung's Galaxy S II began getting a taste of Android 4.0, the total number of Android devices running the latest firmware was around one percent - which is, by anybody's reckoning - disastrous.
The Xbox 360 is getting a little long in the tooth these days, leading to rampant speculation about what the next version of the hugely popular console will be like. The biggest question though, without doubt, as to be when we will be able to get our hands on the new console. When will the Xbox 360 be retired?
Google CEO Larry Page has just announced that the company has at last completed its acquisition of Motorola Mobility, which has been in the works for around 9 months now. Originally announced in August of last year, Google had plenty of regulatory approval hurdles in its way before it could finalize the move; but with the approval of the acquisition coming from China a few days ago, the company was finally able to seal the deal. Motorola Mobility has now been acquired by Google for $12.5 billion, meaning that the company paid $40 per share.
From a software perspective, the most sought feature of the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S III is undoubtedly the S Voice feature, which is a similar implementation to Apple's Siri voice assistant, which launched along with iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S back in October. That's not the only new feature on the S III's list of exclusives, and thankfully for those not planning to invest in the yet-to-be-released, uber powerful device, the Android community is frantically trying to extract the goodies from the ROM leaked earlier this week, and so far, it has been a pretty fruitful venture.
Rumors are just that, rumors, and the iPhone 5 is currently in the middle of more than its fair share. It is par for the course for any big Apple hardware release, but the rumor mill seems to only intensify as each year goes by. The latest to be bandied around is the suggestion that the next iPhone will be the first to feature a new screen, with not just more pixels but more inches, too.
Like any great and successful businessman or leader who presides over an amazingly successful company, Apple's late co-founder Steve Jobs had the right amount of charisma, intelligence, business acumen, leadership and ruthlessness to succeed at the highest level. With Apple currently riding on a huge high and having some of the most popular consumer electronic products the world has ever seen, his success speaks for itself, so does his legacy.
Ever wanted to learn how to play the guitar, but never had a great way to learn? A new Kickstarter project may just have what you need. Kickstarter is home to all kinds of weird, wonderful and plain old whacky things. Technology-related toys are always popular on the project backing site though, and the gTar is proving to be just another exciting venture that is capturing the hearts and minds of the technological elite.
Keeping track of your finances is never an easy thing, especially for us geeks. We are always buying apps, coffee and all the other trappings of being a geek. It's an expensive business, even before you start factoring in all the phones, computers and tablets we like to keep buying.
Panoramic photography has experienced a rather staggered start in the mobile spectrum, and although Apple toyed with the idea of implementing a panorama mode as a native feature to iOS 5, it never made the final cut. Much like 3DTV in a way, it yields some awesome results, but the jury remains out as to whether it has a large-scale future.
