Android may be much more customizable and “open” than iOS, but it offers a much more inferior user-experience. Things don’t always work like they should, user-interfaces across different apps and even within the operating itself isn’t consistent etc. etc. you know what I’m talking about. One big issue we have with Android, or more specifically, Android developers is all app data is not deleted when a user uninstalls the app. This accumulates a lot of data over time and we’ve come across a very nice app that helps you look at which folders are taking up most space.
It's been a massive year in the tech world, with so many huge stories coming out of everyone's favorite companies. Be it Apple, Google, Microsoft or one of the many other players in the space, someone, somewhere has been busy making the news.
A powerful new tool from the Android developer community has been released today.

We’ve got the details and the relevant download link available after the jump!
Apple's TV set top box, the Apple TV is almost a forgotten device at this point. Apple themselves famously once called the iTunes streaming box a "hobby," but we all thought that may change with the redesign that brought us the Apple TV 2G and an iOS-based operating system.

Jonathan is famous around the world as the man who led the design teams who came up with the aesthetics and form factor behind the iMac, Powerbook G4, G4 Cube, MacBook, unibody MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPod, iPhone and the iPad.
Fruit Ninja, for those uninitiated, is one of those oh-so simple yet extremely addictive games which involves using your finger to slice an assortment of flying fruit whilst meticulously avoiding the game-ending bombs.
This is the time of the year when we sit pretty much in the middle of when the current version of the iPad was released and when the industry expects the next generation device to be launched. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that the rumor mill is working on overtime with alleged leaked information, images and specifications popping up all over the web.
While iOS offers a far superior user-experience than mobile operating systems like Android, it does have some pretty annoying limitations. One of these limitations is its issues with handling compressed file-types like .zip, .rar etc. There are plenty of third-party solutions to this, and Zip Browser is one of the best. The app has gone free for a limited period and we’ve discussed its amazing features after the jump!
Apple's launch of Siri certainly made people sit up and take notice. There had been voice recognition and dictation apps before, even Siri in its earliest incarnation was a standalone app that offered some of the features we all now take for granted from our iPhone 4S devices.
One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the level of creativity that developers seem to muster up in order to bypass the restrictions imposed upon them by the Apple developer guidelines.
