Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 16, 2018

It's been nearly a year since we first saw a preview of Gameloft's Modern Combat 5, and the game has yet to see a release date. In fact, we've heard almost nothing about the title in the past 11 months, leading some folks to believe that the project had either been shelved or canceled.

But today, Gameloft reassured MC fans that the game is still very much alive and coming along nicely. The studio confirmed that the title will be 'Modern Combat 5: Blackout,' and offered up some new details regarding the title including some info about the storyline and gameplay...

Suited Up review: target your jump to hit your mark

Lory Gil ∙ Updated January 26, 2018

One of the most popular types of games in the App Store is the physics-based aim-to-shoot kind. We can attribute the success of the genre to Angry Birds. It may not have been the first, but it was certainly the most popular. If you are a fan of physics-based games, but are getting tired of the same old slingshot style mechanics, there is a new bird in town.

Suited Up uses the idea of aiming to shoot, but players must select the point at which the jumper will arc. Instead of dragging to aim, just tap the screen to mark your target and see where you land…

iWatch said to be entering production ahead of fall launch

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 16, 2018

According to a new report from the China Times, Apple's manufacturing partners have begun producing the iWatch. Citing supply chain sources, the outlet says that the company's highly anticipated smartwatch has entered production in small quantities ahead of an expected fall launch.

The report echoes previous chatter, which has mostly pointed to a fall iWatch release up to this point. It also lines up with predictions from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo earlier this month, claiming that the wearable will be built using system-in-package modules, instead of PCBs...

Christian Zibreg ∙ April 29, 2014

A glaring omission from the initial release of the free Word, Excel and PowerPoint for Apple's iPad, printing has now been added to these apps via Microsoft’s first major update to the Office for iPad suite. The software update has arrived on Tuesday, a little more than a month into the suite's iPad launch last month.

UnShaker7: unlock your iPhone with a shake

Jeff Benjamin ∙ April 29, 2014

Unshaker7 is a new jailbreak tweak that was created to allow iOS 7 users to unlock their iPhones using a shake gesture. Although that's the intention of the tweak, the execution of the idea didn't exactly go as planned.

The tweak is extremely simple, and only contains a few options to configure, but it's flawed. Have look inside at our video walkthrough to see what I mean.

If you're a fan of Yahoo's gorgeously designed iOS apps and spend a lot of time using their Mail service on your iPhone and iPad, you're going to love the newly released Yahoo Mail 3.0, available free in the App Store.

Christian Zibreg ∙ April 29, 2014

Games maker Sega last week switched its iPhone and iPad kart racing game, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, from paid to freemium and now the company has put a pair of other Sonic titles on sale.

Both Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 are now available on sale for 99 cents each, but for a limited time only. These games were previously available for $2.99 each so the combined downloads could save you four bucks right off the bat.

If you ask me, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to pick up these remastered for mobile classic titles at really low prices...

Refurbished MacBook Airs now start at just $599

Christian Zibreg ∙ April 29, 2014

Apple this morning quietly updated its ultra-portable MacBook Air family around Intel's latest Haswell chips, switching from the i5-4250U to the i5-4260U CPU on the base model. Apart from this minor change - the new chips are slightly faster and more power efficient versus the previous generation - the biggest new "feature", however, is a change in Apple's pricing scheme - the new Airs now start at just $899, a hundred bucks less than before.

But if the though of burning $900 on a notebook is still unsettling, Apple's online refurbished store is now offering little-used 2012 Airs for as low as $599, or just a $100 more than the entry-level $499 iPad Air...

Fleksy Keyboard for iOS refreshed with revamped UI, six new themes and more

Christian Zibreg ∙ April 29, 2014

As you know, Apple has not yet opened up the iPhone's virtual keyboard to developers so you can't just go into the App Store and replace the stock iOS keyboard with a custom one, like on Android.

But where some see failures, others like Fleksy see opportunities. For those unfamiliar with Fleksy, it's the first alternate keyboard with gestures available to third-party developers across the entire iOS ecosystem.

Also available on Android, Fleksy Keyboard has seen over a million cumulative downloads across platforms, with about half of the downloads coming from iOS.

Following a 2.0 release on Android earlier this year, today Fleksy Keyboard has been bumped to version 3.1, featuring a completely revamped user interface, six new UI themes and more...
