I’m sure readers of Redmond Pie already know about Find My Friends. It’s a location tracking app developed by Apple which was released on October 12th alongside iOS 5. I don’t know if it is fair to say this, but Find My Friends is definitely Apple’s version of Google Latitude - an imitation, essentially, of a similar service which all Android smartphones have been offering since 2009. It feels rather odd seeing an innovative company like Apple doing the copying (especially after calling 2011 “Year of the Copycats” in March). The copying done here, though, is not your regular half-hearted stuff: Apple has added some nifty features which sets their location-tracking tool apart from Google Latitude.
Hello there, everyone! It’s time to do another post in our series of comparison posts in which, well, we compare stuff. In this comparison post, ‘stuff’ is the three major mobile operating systems - iOS 5, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Windows Phone 7.5 Mango - and it is their feature-list which is compared.
It's all go at Google these days. They've just shown off their latest version of the Android mobile operating system; Ice Cream Sandwich, and their hardware partner Samsung has announced the Galaxy Nexus as the first handset to sport it. Now it seems there's another Android Nexus phone packing Ice Cream Sandwich, and it's not the one you expected.
With Google currently giving all of its web apps a long-needed overhaul, it was only a matter of time before the search giant finally got around to giving Gmail a lick of paint.
At the joint Google-Samsung event in Hong Kong today, the hotly-anticipated Galaxy Nexus was finally unveiled alongside Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
We're getting to that time again, the time when the rumor-mill is in full swing, and talk of a new Google Nexus phone is already reaching fever pitch. It's almost certain that Samsung will once again be the hardware partner of choice for the Android masters, despite the Nexus S not quite taking the world by storm.
You can't really be a geek and not have played one of the super-popular and mega-successful Grand Theft Auto games. Even back in the day when the title brought top-down action and a spot of attitude to the table, the Grand Theft Auto franchise was one revered by fans.
Well, we knew it wasn't going to be too far off, and it has now been all but confirmed that Samsung and Google will join forces on October 19th to announce the elusive Nexus Prime handset along with the big G's latest version of Android, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich.
Built-in Google applications for a certain upcoming smartphone running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich have started leaking out. Earlier today, we talked about leaked Google Music app and, now, we’ll talk about an updated Google+ app which comes with support for Android devices running Ice Cream Sandwich.
It seems Apple isn't the only company that can't keep its new smartphones under wraps without one finding its way to a stranger, via some form of bar. Now, Google and Samsung are getting in on the leaking-act, with a new, shiny Nexus Prime/Galaxy Nexus finding its way into the wrong hands.
