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.
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.
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.
There are situations I face on a daily basis where I just wish I could just press a button and shut down all of the world’s noisiness. You might think it would take some super-advanced technology to make this happen, but really all it takes is a good pair of (preferably in-ear)-headphones and a specialized piece of software that offers brainwave entertainment. We’ll be covering one such app today. Check it out after the jump!
While Samsung's yet-to-be-released Galaxy S III device has divided the opinions of the tech world, from a software point of view, it boasts a fair amount of exclusives - many of which users of other Android devices are dying to get their hands on.
Tennis has to be one of the most underrated but highly contested sports around. When it comes to major tournaments, they don't come any bigger than the French Open, otherwise known as Les Internationaux de France de Roland-Garros. Named after French aviator Roland Garros, the French Open spans across a period of two weeks and features some of the best tennis players in the world all coming together on the clay courts of the Stade Roland Garros.
Samsung's Galaxy S III announcement was either a roaring success or an abysmal failure, depending on your affiliations. Regardless of your feelings on the phone or indeed that whacky announcement event, what you cannot ignore is the fact that Samsung's software is arguably the star of the show. Or that was the plan.
If you cast your minds back a few months, you might remember the Raspberry Pi USB dongle, which one intuitive chap had turned into a fully-functional PC running Android. Enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that an equally tasty alternative has now gone on general sale, and can be bought for the unbelievably cheap price of just $74!
Whether you go unsubsidized or take out a contract with one of the carriers, the purchasing of an iPhone is an expensive gig, and after paying an arm and a knee for the thing, it figures you'd also want a decent protective cover for it. This, of course, means more expenditure, and although cases and sleeves can be picked up for a couple of dollars on eBay, the ones that'll actually help shield your device from the daily grind are not only fairly pricey, but can add quite a few extra millimeters of bulk to your device's form factor.
