If you're one of those people that finds the UI of Android to be a little bland, or indeed if you simply harbor the incessant need to tinker and modify aspects of your device, then the chances are, you will have encountered MIUI at some stage. Renowned for its iOS-esque interface, slick speeds, mountain of themes, it's hardly a surprise MIUI is one of the more popular aftermarket Android ROMs available.
With new releases of smartphone devices regularly offering improved hardware performance beyond belief (see the Samsung Galaxy S III, for example), the standard of gaming is improving at an incredible rate, and although hardcore gamers are renowned for sitting on their couches playing Xbox or PlayStation, more and more are now getting their fix on-the-fly.
Since its unveiling some two days ago, the Samsung Galaxy S III has become a huge divider of opinion, and while it's inarguably a powerhouse in terms of hardware, one view seems to be shared universally - it's not particularly nice to look at.
After what's been a very busy week in tech, today we bring you something a little more lighthearted and fun on the form of MeMeSelF for Android, the latest installment in our growing list of good meme-based apps for mobile devices.
As soon as a new device hits the scene - particularly one which boasts high specs from every direction - it's always interesting to see, in terms of performance, whether said device lives up to its billing.
Thousands flocked to London's Earls Court last night to see Samsung executives unveil their latest Galaxy S III smartphone to the gadget loving world. Its a no-brainer that many more thousands around the world were following the announcements very closely to see just exactly what the latest Samsung device will bring to the market, but if you happened to miss the whole event, then you can catch up on the entire event on video right now.
So, for those of you who eagerly anticipated the Samsung Galaxy S III, here's another tidbit of news to be excited about: Flipboard, the highly popular social magazine app that's currently iOS-only will be making its debut to the Android platform exclusively on the Samsung Galaxy S III. Samsung will have exclusivity to the app for quite some time, meaning that it will be a bit of a wait before we can expect the app to hit the Play store or other Android handsets.
Samsung's announcement of the Galaxy S III today has come after weeks, nay, months of speculation about what the hardware will look like from top to bottom. What size screen will it use, how big will the body be, and what cameras will it pack? Now all those questions have been answered, we are left with something possibly even more interesting than all of that - the software.
On the day of what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest Android announcements of the year with the Samsung Galaxy S III, it could turn out to be a bittersweet day for Google, as it has been issued yet another reminder of the increasing number of malware plaguing its mobile OS.
With Android malware circulating at an alarming rate, at least we can count on the most popular legitimate apps to protect our security and privacy. Or can we? Root-only app WhatsAppSniffer does exactly as its name implies, and can easily snoop a conversation using the popular WhatsApp instant messaging service, providing it is connected to the same Wi-Fi as the device in question.
