The iPad Air and the new generation of iPad mini were both unveiled yesterday, and the press reaction, as always, had been ecstatic. Alongside the hardware improvements that these devices carry, there’s one more tradition that they, as before, have conformed to, which is a new wallpaper.
For some of us, rising with the sun is second nature and is often filled with energy and enthusiasm. For others, the sound of the alarm in the morning is an alert that we dread as it signifies the time to rise from our slumber. Regardless of the category that you as an individual fall into, it seems there is a very high chance that your early morning routine will involve some kind of native mobile app usage.
It seems that Facebook is giving iOS plenty of focus of late, and after seemingly falling out with the platform following an unusually slow update cycle, the social network is now updating its iPhone and iPad apps at a much more useful cadence.
Back last week, Microsoft announced that a Remote Desktop app for iOS and Android would be forthcoming, and staying true to that promise, and in line with today’s Windows 8.1 release, the said app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android has just arrived.
Ad agencies, and the large technology companies that hire them, are always looking for new and innovative ways to get their message across to existing and potential customers. Just like in any walk of life, the agencies that have a track record of thinking outside of the box in order to boost their clients profile are usually the ones that gain the most traction and propel themselves to the top of the advertising food chain. M&C Saatchi - an ad company from Stockholm, Sweden – has come up with the idea of using an existing technology and advertising medium in an entirely different way in order to spread the word about the new LG G2 smartphone.
Apple's iPhone trade-in program has just hit the United Kingdom and Germany. First launched prior to the iPhone 5s / 5c's September announcement in the United States, it allows customers to gain some credit back for their current iPhone and trade said handset in for a shiny new one. Unfortunately, though, the return on any iPhone seems to be way below what most would perceive as a respectful amount, and thus, the trade-in program is probably just for those who find the business of private selling just way too intolerable.
If you want to get your hands on that shiny new iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c but just don't want to stump up the cash required, then trading in your existing iPhone is always going to be one of the best ways to get what you're pining for without breaking the bank. Starting this past August, the iPhone trade-in program has made it possible for people to swap out an old iPhone for a new one at an Apple Store across the United States, simply paying the difference between the price Apple pays for their old hardware and the new handset they want to buy. It has always seemed popular amongst those talking about the program on social networking sites, and now it seems that Apple is set to launch the program outside the US.
Google's Eric Schmidt is no stranger to opening his mouth and having some strange, often outlandish words come out. The man who was famously once described as Google's 'adult supervision' during some of its most successful years, Schmidt has been known to put his foot in his mouth on more than the odd occasion.
A YouTube video thrown up by members of German security research firm SR Labs has shown that the convenient access to a device's Airplane Mode via the new Control Center pane could offer assistance to hackers looking to exploit the system.
Even though the iPhone 5s remains very much mid-launch on the count of the fact that Apple is still struggling to ship the numbers to meet the rampant demand, talk has already begun of the next-gen Cupertino handset, and ETNews has cited those oh-so familiar industry sources in suggesting that the device will indeed pack a 5-inch display, which is much more in-keeping with current market trends. The report also goes on to shed some light on the heavily rumored iWatch, which, according to the report, will feature a flexible OLED display.
