iPhone and iPad apps have always been considered to be much more polished than Android apps by most users. Apple's strict style guide and closed App Store create a similar feel among apps, while Google's Android Market is open for all.
In a new report from crash report analytics company Crittercism, the company says that iOS apps crash more than Android apps, despite what you might think. In their report, Crittercism found that iOS apps tend to crash three times more than Android apps. But why?
AT&T announced in October of 2011 that they would begin throttling data usage for users still on an Unlimited Data Plan.

The ability to split up the iPad's keyboard is one of my favorite lesser-known features in iOS. I don't use it all the time. But it really comes in handy when I need to rattle off an email or conjure up other large bodies of text.
Apple obviously put a lot of thought into getting the split keyboard just the right size for its tablet, and it shows. In fact, there are even some elements of the keyboard that you can't see. Did you know there are hidden keys on the iPad split keyboard?
