The iPhone 4 and 4S are two of the best looking smartphones on the market, with their all metal and glass finish giving an impression of class. The problem with having so much glass on a smartphone though - the iPhone 4/4S has glass on both the front and back of the device - is that it can get scratched all too easily.
Predicting the weather is a notoriously difficult affair. While the technology used to predict what the weather will do has improved greatly over the years, as has the end result, it is a well known fact that trusting the weatherman is still not the easiest thing in the world to do.
All the talk right now is of the next iPhone. There have been rumors about everything from whether the new handset will sport a 4G radio, to how large the screen will be this time around.
Regardless of how much Apple improve iOS - their mobile operating system - there are always going to be parts of the software that just don't sit right with users. Unfortunately, you can't please everyone all the time, but the technology giants could do a little bit more to implement certain features and capabilities that seem like a glaringly obvious omission from the OS.
In my opinion, iOS developers who exist within the jailbreak community should be placed high up on a pedestal and praised for their efforts in making Apple's mobile operating system a nicer and more functional piece of software to use.

While plenty of new titles have been born of the iOS ecosystem - notably the likes of Angry Birds, Cut The Rope and Tiny Wings, there's still plenty of space in our hearts for those older, nostalgic classics. Sonic the Hedgehog is an absolute classic, particularly to those who used to love collecting those golden rings on their Sega Game Gear, and with a few titles featuring Sonic and Tails already gracing iPhones, iPads and iPod touches worldwide, the second episode to Sonic The Hedgehog 4 has just been released by Sega America.
Although Apple's iPhone remains one of the most popular and sought-after devices on the market, the news earlier this month of Samsung taking its crown as the number one smartphone manufacturer will have sent alarm bells ringing. To make matters worse, it has now been revealed that Microsoft's Windows Phone has overtaken the fruit company's iPhone in terms of market share in China - the largest market in the world.
Apple's iTunes Festival has increased in popularity since first launching in 2007, and has just released details of some of this year's featured acts, including popular artists such as Usher and Norah Jones.
Five months before Apple is expected to bring the next iPhone to market, rumors are already swirling like a tornado waiting to rip out the hearts of fanboys the world over. We've had plenty of claims and counter claims already, and that shows no sign of changing before an Apple executive puts foot to stage in order to announce just what the next iPhone will be like.
While there have been many mobile gaming hits from both Apple's App Store and Google's rivaling Play Store, only a select few could be categorized as "the elite". You know, the games which consumers have on their devices so often, they could become a stock feature; the titles boasting cutting-edge graphics with addictive gameplay enticing new users to keep purchasing the sequels year in, year out.
