Folks who frequent the Reddit community are probably fairly familiar with Alien Blue. It's considered to be one of the best third-party iOS clients for the popular site.
Well the best gets better today, with the release of Alien Blue 2.6. The update brings new features like a native GIF player, iCloud syncing, and much more...
Since it debuted back in 2007, the iPhone has become somewhat of a point of reference for other smartphones. It seems that every time a new handset is released, we hear: "is this the iPhone killer?"
And it looks like the same thing has happened with Apple's digital assistant. "Siri competitors" seems to be becoming a popular meme, as we've already seen one from Samsung, Google, and now LG...

Earlier this year, we passed along a report claiming that Apple was looking to ditch the 30 pin dock connector in favor of something smaller. It was said that we could see this new port as early as this year.
Since then, we've seen a number of purported "iPhone 5" part leaks that feature a noticeably-smaller charging port at the bottom. And now, TechCrunch says it has just confirmed the change...
One of the most common questions we get asked regarding the third-generation iPad is, "which carrier should I go with?" Here in the US, the tablet is available on both AT&T and Verizon networks.
Depending on you're location, we generally recommend the Verizon model. The carrier has had its LTE network up and running for nearly two years. And it's now available in more than 300 markets...
So this is rather interesting: Apparently Foxconn's CEO Terry Gou has been sharing some of his famous words of wisdom lately, advising consumers to wait a bit before making their next smartphone purchase.

As expected, Microsoft has just taken the wraps off of Windows Phone 8 — the latest iteration of its mobile operating system — during a nightclub-themed media event in California.
Similar to Apple's WWDC keynote, Microsoft took this opportunity to go over a handful of new features in the software. And so far, it looks fairly solid. Should Apple be nervous?
The mobile landscape on Monday became a tad more interesting place with the announcement that Microsoft was going to enter the race with its own tablet product marketed under the Surface moniker.
We're now less than an hour away until another major Microsoft presser, this one concerning Windows Phone. With that in mind, iDB thought it'd be interesting to gauge our readers' opinion on the Surface vs. iPad dilemma...
Thanks to a report by Dutch website All About Phones, translated by The Verge, we now know that Samsung will seek "adequate damages" from Apple following a favorable ruling in the 3G patent lawsuit in The Netherlands.

When Microsoft out of the blue announced on Monday it was entering the tablet race with its own Surface-branded product, many industry watchers and, more importantly, Microsoft's hardware partners were taken aback and left scratching their head.
Just what the hell Redmond thinks it's doing, many OEMs now wonder. Aggressive pricing (think $199 or below) is seen as key to Surface's chance of success and OEMs can't exactly compete with Microsoft on level ground because their already thin margins are stretched even thinner as they pay license fees to Microsoft to use Windows on tablets.
But Microsoft may not be in it for the money or hardware sales, warns Acer founder Stan Shih who has commented that the Surface is just a ploy to drum up excitement and drive Windows 8 adoption...
