I had ordered some lenses for my iPhone from Photojojo. The review for those will come later, as I still want to take plenty of photos before posting a review. For now, I thought I'd mention something I found along the way. By looking closely at all the photos I took, I noticed a small spot on all of them. In fact, it's been hiding in my photos for about a month now, but once I noticed it, I couldn't...
Apple Working on Curved Batteries

One issue with curved phone designs is that the curved portion creates a lot of wasted space. The phones end up thicker, with wasted space inside the phone, all for the sake of a curved edge or back. That curve can either improve the ergonomics of the device, or make it appear to be slimmer than it actually is. The HTC One is a good example. The phone appears to be thin on the side, but actually...

The App Store is About to Hit 50 Billion Downloads

The App Store was introduced with the second version of iOS, then called iPhone OS. It brought third party apps to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Since then, the App Store has been the most popular of such app repositories. Very popular actually, as nearly 50 billion apps have been downloaded. To celebrate, Apple is giving away an iTunes gift card (which will also work on the App Store), valued at $10,000....

Google Proves Android Fragmentation With an iOS App

A few days ago, Google released Google Now, an Android feature for iOS through an update to their Google app. The feature is like Siri, only for Google searches. By releasing it on iOS, they made it available to over 500 million iOS users. However, on Android, it's only on at most 120 million Android phones. Yes, a key feature of Android, their version of Siri, is available on more iOS devices than...

Samsung Spokesperson Accidentally Praises Samsung... From his iPhone

Celebrity endorsements aren't new. Since companies have been marketing, they've tried to find fitting and trustworthy celebrities or actors to shill their products. Samsung may have gone too far when they paid students to say bad things about their competitors, but paying celebrities to endorse a product isn't unethical. But perhaps Samsung should pick people that actually enjoy using their devices....

Apple to Discontinue the Original iPhone

The original iPhone was released in 2007. It was both a big surprise and an expected event. Apple had been rumored to be releasing a combination of the iPod and a phone, but we weren't expecting anything like the iPhone. As impressive as it was, all products eventually become obsolete, and in the case of Apple, this is an official designation, and the iPhone will get that on June 11th. After that...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 just can't catch a break. Well, that might be a poor choice of words, considering this is the second test that shows that the Galaxy S4 could break easily. Squaretrade's system rates a phone's durability on a scale from 1-10, with 10 being the worst score. The brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 scored a 7 on that chart. Meanwhile, the S3 from last year got a better score, 6.5. In comparison,...
iOS 7 Will Feature a Fresh Yet Familiar Look

It looks like iOS 7 will be the first to contain design elements approved by Sir Jony Ive after all. According to a number of anonymous sources who have seen it, the new operating system will feature a brand new look, with flat design elements. Skeuomorphism, glass, and 3D designs will be a thing of the past, replaced instead with very clean, flat design. The app icons will be getting a face lift...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is out, and reviews for it have been mixed. It's not very tough, and is made of a plastic that David Pierce of The Verge called unpleasant to hold, even saying that it felt slippery and slimy. With the superior looks of the iPhone and HTC One, Samsung has been feeling the pressure of their competitors. Rather than turn to designing better products, Samsung has turned to their...

According to the Yankee Group, marketshare for the iPhone will surpass Android by 2016. Their prediction is based on data they collected from a survey of 16,000 people over the past year. Form the chart above, you can see the iPhone stealing marketshare from non-smartphone devices, and a single percentage point from Blackberry. Thanks to customer loyalty towards Apple, and a number of Android users...
iPad Tops Customer Satisfaction Survey

I've posted numerous stories about this before. Apple seems to top the customer satisfaction surveys in every product category they enter. It's no surprise that the iPad would do the same for tablets. J.D. Power surveyed 1857 tablet users to figure out what customers love their tablets the most. In the categories of performance, design, ease of use, and features, the iPad was on top. It only lost...
Apple Release New iPhone Ad
Apple's new iPhone advertisement focuses on the iPhone's camera. The iPhone is the most popular camera on Flickr, and presumably, the world, as the Flickr community is a good market segment. The commercial has few words, mostly focusing on the people using the cameras, and only pointing out that the...
Samsung Galaxy S4 Half Full Out of Box
By Admin_AT | At 10:43 AM | Label : | 0 Comments

The 16GB Samsung Galaxy S4 is $199 with a new contract on AT&T. Not only is that half the advertised storage capacity of the HTC One for the same amount of money, but it also has about 45% of that 16 GB used up. That's about 7.2 GB of space already used on the Samsung Galaxy S4. It's a good thing it has an SD card slot, because users are going to need it, big time. Of course, then they have to...

New iPhone in September

The iPhone 5 was released last September, so it seems logical that Apple would stick to that release schedule. Besides that, the previous rumors that the 7th generation iPhone would be released in the summer were dispelled when Tim Cook announced that Apple would be releasing new products in the Fall. Plus, with WWDC being this summer, we can assume that the hardware that will be released with the...

New Apple Devices Coming in Fall

It's rare that we get a concrete release window for new Apple hardware or software. But, yesterday, during Apple's conference call, Tim Cook answered a question about a comment he made during the meeting. He mentioned fall releases, in fact, he specifically said "I don't want to be more specific. But I'm just saying we've got some really great stuff coming in the fall. And across all of 2014". Looks...
WWDC Announced, Starts June 10th

Apple has announced that on June 10th this year, they'll be kicking off the Worldwide Developer's Conference. It's Apple's way of reaching out to developers, with classes and demos of new software. Speaking of new software, expect a preview of iOS 7 and OS X 10.9. That's not just a rumor, it comes from Apple's Phil Schiller, who said "We can’t wait to get new versions of iOS and OS X into their hands...

Tim Cook Hints at Larger iPhone Screen

The iPhone 5 was an inch taller than every iPhone before it, bringing the screen size up to 4 inches, and giving it a 16:9 ratio. Apple pointed out that while the screen was bigger, it still could be used with one hand comfortably, something that can't be said of most Android phones. Today, Tim Cook listed another reason for the screen size, while offering some hope of a larger screen in the future....

iPhone 5S Delayed?

Not long ago, the accepted rumor was that the next iPhone would be released this summer. However, it's looking as though Apple's facing some delays, and the next iPhone may not ship until later in the summer, or the fall. It's been rumored that the next iPhone would have a fingerprint scanner for secure and easy logging in, and maybe more. But, think of any fingerprint scanner you've seen on laptops....
HTC One Review

If you're a regular reader, you might be a bit confused. I constantly have articles that praise Apple, and shun Android. So, if I hate Android, then this review must be one of two things, right? Either I've switched to Android or I'm using this as an excuse to write down all the flaws and imperfections of the HTC One, showing how the iPhone is the better phone along the way. Neither is true.

Another Lawsuit Claiming Google Biased

Google is being sued once again for favoring their own services in search results over their competitors. Due to the near monopoly Google has over search results, this is a big deal. Streetmap, a UK company is now using Google, claiming that results for their service are buried underneath Google's own search results. Google actually does this. If you search for maps, you're going to get the Google...

Badnews is an example of Android malware that easily slipped past Google's anti malware software, posing as an ad network for developers. Developers would make their apps, and they could put ads in their apps to make money. Badnews offered to put ads in apps for developers. Unfortunately, that's not all it did. The ad network being used by apps would then do some very upsetting things. First, it...

Each of the fish have different personalities,...

The design may be retro (being less than half a decade old; which is retro enough for quick-advancing technology), but the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist’s inner laptop components are anything but. Before we delve into that, though, let’s talk about the laptop part that defines the Twist’s form.A Matter of PerspectiveYes, that’s right: The Twist’s design harkens back to earlier laptop/tablet hybrids, although...
