In the ever-changing world of Android handsets, there has been one device that has consistently stood out among the crowd — The Samsung Galaxy S II. The phone has been dominating European sales charts for several months, and has recently landed stateside.
Nearly 4 times as fast as the iPhone 4, the Galaxy S II's processor/GPU combo is the fastest in the industry according to Anandtech. But how will the speediest smartphone in the business stack up against Apple's yet-to-be-announced iPhone 5?
I've reviewed tons of DreamBoard themes over the last 6 months, and I've stumbled upon some really spectacular work.
Themes such as Asymmetric HD and AppleWeb HD set high bars for what to expect out of the DreamBoard framework.
As good as those themes are, nothing could prepare me for the meticulously detailed OS X Lion Ultimatum, which is far and away the best iPhone theme I've ever seen or used...
You might not know it, but HTC (High Tech Computer) has been around for more than a decade. In its earlier years, the company produced smartphones sporting older versions of Windows Mobile OS.
With the rise of Android in 2009, HTC started to focus on the up-and-coming OS. The move has helped grow the company exponentially over the last few years. In 2010, it also joined in on the Windows Phone 7 party.
But the landscape has changed in the mobile OS industry over the last several months. Microsoft and Nokia have announced a strategic partnership, and then there was Google's Motorola purchase. So where does that leave HTC?
When Apple unveiled AirPrint last year, there were only 12 printers that supported the feature. Since then, manufacturers have been dragging their feet on supporting the wireless printing option.
Until now, HP has had the lion's share of the AirPrint-compatible printer market. But it seems like Epson is looking to get in on the action, as MacRumors reports that the Japanese company has several printers coming out this Fall that support the feature...
First you had Atari, and now another old-school gaming company is hoping to ride the waves of interest that the original iCade has mustered up.
Japanese video game developer and publisher, Taito — the same company behind the old school classic Space Invaders — has apparently seen enough; now it wants a share of the iPad peripheral pie...
Apple has been building up to a climactic event set to take place in the next 4 weeks. In the past, new iPhone hardware had always been introduced during the summer at Apple's WWDC conference, but 2011 has proved to be a totally different year in terms of Apple's product cycle.
The Verizon iPhone 4 in February helped to throw everything off, and more factors seem to be at play. Apple is up to something different this year, and the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 5 alongside a second model this Fall.
With all of the rumors and heated speculation, average consumers are still perfectly content with the iPhone 4. In fact, last year's iPhone model is still selling better than ever...
Apple's MacBooks stand out in a crowd, thanks to their sleek design and bright Apple logo. Apple designed the logo on its laptops to glow, but the iPhone has lacked such a feature. Until now.
iPatch has teased a mod for the iPhone 4 that turns the device's rear Apple logo into a glowing work of art. Whenever the iPhone's screen comes on, the Apple logo lights up. Now that's magical.
As the industry eagerly awaits Apple's next media announcement, products like iOS 5 and iCloud are nearing final testing stages. A new report claims that Apple is set to release the final iOS 5 Golden Master build to iPhone assemblers in the next two weeks.
Previous reports from supply chains overseas have said that Apple has already begun iPhone 5 production, with the claim that suppliers are making an upwards of 150,000 units per day. iOS 5 has, up to this point, not been installed on the new hardware. But the mobile software is set to reach its final build version very soon...
If you're the kind of person who likes to play around in the snow, probably with a pair of skis or a snowboard, then chances are you're familiar with the problem of finding a way to listen to your music while flailing around in the white stuff. See, it's a bit cold out there, and taking your gloves off to skip a track or change the volume on your iPhone isn't that fun.
New gloves from Burton, manufacturer of snowboards and the like, aim to fix that little problem once and for all, by embedding iPod controls right into the fabric of some truly magical gloves...
Yesterday, we reported that the iPhone 5 might not receive the bump in storage that some have been expecting. Rumors swirling around a screen-grab from a Vodafone inventory listing, suggests that the iPhone 5 will arrive in one of four flavors — a black 16GB or 32GB option, and a white 16GB or 32GB option — 64GB of storage capacity was nowhere to be seen.
Now, at first, that might seem weird considering that Apple's created 64GB iterations of the iPod touch and iPad lineup. But iCloud is right on the horizon, and with it, Apple has effectively eliminated the need for increased local storage capacity in their mobile devices. Check inside to see why...
There are good ideas in this world, and then there are bad ideas. Giving your $650 iPhone to a young child has to rank amongst one of the worst ideas we've heard of for a long while, but that's exactly what Fisher Price wants us to do. The toy company has created a handy-dandy little iPhone case for that exact purpose.
Dubbed the "Laugh and Learn Apptivity Case" and set to go on sale next month, the case protects your iPhone or iPod touch while a 6-36 month-old child does its best to eat it, drool on it, or do other generally bad things to it...
Could Android app downloads soon outpace those of iOS apps from the App Store? According to research done by Ovum research (via CNET), all outlets currently offering Android apps will serve up approximately 8.1 billion downloads this year alone. This is opposed to an estimated 6 billion in the App Store.
It's important to keep in mind, however, that the sheer number of app downloads doesn't necessarily translate to a healthy or profitable ecosystem...
