Google has been known for quite a few pranks (no, Android is not one), and their latest joke took nearly five days to uncover.
When you use your mobile device to search Google for the term "tilt" or "askew," as pictured above, the search will return with the results tilted ever so slightly to the right. The trick works on both iOS and Android devices.
Apple's App Store approval process has been known to be a very long and hard process for iOS app developers. Although Apple had loosened app approval process back in September of 2010, it seems that certain apps are still taking a good amount of time in limbo before receiving the green light.
One such application happens to be the TrapCall app by Tel Tech Systems Inc. The app went officially live today after 201 days (almost 7 months) in review by Apple.
TrapCall puts an end to those annoying blocked and private calls, claiming to be the first and only service to unmask blocked calls.
If you're a person that likes to upgrade to the newest iPhone each year, still having not completed the previous 2-year commitment you signed, AT&T offers an early upgrade price. That upgrade price is usually about double that of the full 2-year contract pricing for new customer/eligible ugprades.
The guys over at AndroidCentral seem to have obtained an internal AT&T document that shows early upgrade price increased for the iPhone by $50.
The iPhone has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the smartphone market since its release in 2007. The idea of a large, touchscreen-based phone wasn't that popular before the original iPhone, and the general design of mobile handsets has drastically altered since Apple set the bar in the mobile space years ago.
Plenty of iPhone "killers" have come and gone. Devices with copied features and designs can never really hold weight next to the original.
This clever little cartoon/infographic depicts what happens when the iPhone killers meet...
For those who didn't know or can't remember back that far, Microsoft was once a major player in the mobile platform game. It was one of the first mobile operating systems to feature a touch screen (although it required a stylus). The Palm Treo and multiple Windows Mobile handsets actually ruled the smartphone market for quite some time.
Then came innovations from companies like BlackBerry and Apple, and Windows Mobile's aging design just couldn't keep up. Last year, after almost a decade, Microsoft unveiled a completely new mobile OS to the world.
Although their initial launch was hindered by bad memories of the old, buggy Windows Mobile software, things are certainly looking brighter for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7....
Apple continues their "If You Don't Have an iPhone" marketing campaign with the latest ad focusing on Apple's iOS online multiplayer social gaming network, Game Center.
The 30 second commercial opens up by showcasing the huge library of games available in the App Store, such as Infinity Blade, and then shows the capabilities of Game Center, including friends requests, starting a multiplayer game through matchmaking, tracking achievements, and comparing high scores on a leader board.
AT&T announced today that they will buy T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom for $39 billion in cash and stocks. A deal that shocked, you, me, and our grandmothers.
But what does this mean for T-Mobile subscribers? Will they finally get the iPhone? No. Well, not yet at least...
Most people tend to jailbreak for the packages and features that don't require payment. Among the many, SBSettings, Mobile Substrate, Cydia, OpenSSH, ActionMenu, SwitcherMod, and others stand out for functionality the iPhone should have. But which apps are truly worth buying in Cydia?
We're calling for a vote for the top five paid packages and products available from Cydia. If you were to lose all of your purchases, what would be the first five jailbreak tweaks that you spend money on to perfect your iPhone's configuration?
The iPhone has been known for many useful things, but hacking Times Square billboards is a first.
A video has been posted on YouTube showing a man who uses his iPhone to hijack video billboards in Times Square. CBS news has commented on the video, claiming that they would assume it's fake, but if it's in fact real, they'll be the first to purchase one...
Love 'em or hate 'em, if there's one thing Verizon has going for them, it's coverage. The network that brags that it is the "nation's largest and most reliable", once again proves it has the test scores to back it up. J.D. Power has just released its latest study on customer satisfaction among the nation's top 4 carriers, and the results shouldn't surprise you.
The study addressed such things as frequency of dropped calls, voice distortion, static, and delays in messaging. In testing done between July and December of last year, Verizon had the best or tied for the best satisfaction ratings in five of the six studied areas. AT&T and Sprint went back and forth in the second place spot , while T-Mobile received the worst scores out of the four...
If you have been looking for an RSS reader, that doesn't look like an RSS reader, then you need look no further. Now, Pulse News Mini for the iPhone and iPod touch is nothing new. Maybe you have experienced its older sibling 'Pulse' on your iPad. But this little gem from Alphonso Labs Inc. is definitely worth mention. If you are like me and enjoy the benefits of an RSS feed reader, but find the typical app in this category boring and redundant, you have to check this out.
So why would you want an RSS reader in the first place? Well, like the expanded name 'Really Simple Syndication' suggests, RSS feeds are news headlines and articles pushed out by websites. This allows its readers access to information quickly. An RSS reader application on your iPhone would allow you to get news from 100's of different websites. Typically, you browse headlines and a snippet of the article in text format, like an email inbox, and can choose whether to read further into the article or not...

What makes them different than all the other group chat and messaging applications already available for iOS devices? Reality.
"Be Authentic," is the 3rd and final rule in Yobongo's chat guidelines. "The world is full of places to be someone you're not, this isn't one of them. We value authenticity and honesty."
The folks over at Yobongo, Inc. might really be on to something...
