When iOS 5 finally hits the Internet this fall, it’ll include a number of cool new services from Apple. The biggest, clearly, is iTunes in the Cloud, which takes the entirety of Apple’s iTunes software and turns it into a cloud service. One portion of that – Apple’s cloud music service – is called iTunes Match. Read More

HTC Prime and Ignite Windows Phones leaked by retailer

Posted by admin under iPhone News on Friday Jul 29, 2011

We haven’t seen the HTC Ignite or Prime since March, but a new leak from cell phone retailer The Phone House suggests that HTC is planning to launch both handsets in the near future. The phones will pack Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system, presumably the Mango release, but it is unclear when they will hit the market. If we were betting men we would wager that both handsets will launch in the early fall, when Microsoft has said it will deploy Mango to existing handsets. Earlier this week, the Redmond-based company announced that it has already released the operating system update to manufacturers, so we’re expecting to see a number of new Windows Phone leaks to start cropping up.

Thanks, Andrew

iPad vs. Android Tablets: A Kids Perspective

Posted by admin under iPad, iPad News on Wednesday Jul 20, 2011

Ever since the original iPad came out people have loved it. There is online web browsing on a big screen, applications of all different categories, music, movies, games and much more. And after the new iPad 2, more and more people think that the iPad is the best tablet on the market.

That is, for adults.

But what about kids like me? After all, the iPad is not the only tablet out there. The Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and Asus Eee Pad are all new tablets on the market. HP is also out now with a new TouchPad, which uses the WebOS operating system. But which device would kids like?

The Options

The iPad 2, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy 10.1, and HP Touchpad are all great tablets. To be honest I’d be really happy if my parents got me any of these tablets. Any of these tablets will be good for most of the things kids would use a laptop for, except for typing and homework.

Most people use the iPad for browsing the web, doing e-mail, using Facebook and watching movies. Some adults love to play games on the iPad, as well. My mom likes her iPad for web browsing, reading e-mail, and using Facebook because she finds it easy to use, and light.

I currently use an Android phone right now, as well as an Android tablet. Android has more customization features such as home screen widgets and moving backgrounds, and there are a lot of free Android apps, which is great for kids who have limited allowances. Even though the iPad has more apps than Android tablets, it doesn’t make much difference because most good apps such as Angry Birds or Homerun 3D are available on both platforms. Android apps get updated faster than iPad apps, due to Apple’s harder update process. Android devices offer a lot of

Top Smartphones for Internet Browsing

Posted by admin under iPhone News on Monday Jun 13, 2011

We’re all obsessed with the mobile internet and the ability to stay connected wherever we go, which is all well and good. But what’s the best device for the job? Well, that’s an often-asked question and not one that’s easily answered, because everyone has different requirements from their handset.

Go large

If you’re a fan of browsing the internet, which most of us are, then the more screen real estate you can pack into a smartphone makes it all the more appealing. A great example of that is the HTC Incredible S, with its four-inch offering, while the HD7 offers up a whopping 4.3-inch Super LCD deal with WVGA resolution.

It’s hard to overlook the HTC Desire HD handset though, which has been incredibly popular with smartphone fans, although this manufacturer turns out bigger and better models all the time. Even the HTC Wildfire Pay as you Go phone makes a worthy model if you’re looking for fun, convenience and features,

Then, of course, there’s the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S, with a 4-inch viewing area and that’s even better thanks to the colour and clarity supplied via Super AMOLED. If you’re a fan of Nokia, complete with its operating system quirkiness, then the new E7 could be worth a look as it too has a 4-inch AMOLED screen plus a funky slide out keyboard for keying in your web addresses.

More power

Of course, with many smartphones being able to do lots of other things alongside taking you on a tour of the internet, its processing power that is another big consideration when you’re looking at a do-it-all phone. With more of us needing beefier specifications to keep us happy then it’s little wonder that the dual-core processor is making a regular appearance on new handsets.

Take a look at the LG Optimus 2X, for example, alongside the Motorola Atrix; two phones that deliver a power-packed performance as well as running the ever-popular Android operating system. While Windows Phone 7 is proving popular, many phone users are quickly adopting the Android OS as their system of choice. That’s largely due to features such as a killer web browser and wonderfully simple email and social networking tools.

All in all then, there are rich pickings for connoisseurs of the smartphone and while some of the higher-end iPhone models may be a little on the expensive side, you can still bag great deals on new handset just as long as you take the time to shop around.

Microsoft provides migration tool for iOS developers

Posted by admin under iPhone News on Wednesday May 4, 2011

Microsoft is aiming to assuage the pains of mobile application developers looking to migrate their iOS applications from Apple’s mobile operating system to Windows Phone. “Launched today, the iPhone/iOS to Windows Phone 7 API mapping tool helps developers find their way around when they discover the Windows Phone platform,” writes Microsoft in a blog post. “Think of the API mapping tool as being like a translation dictionary.” The tool will allow iOS developers to easily find the equivalent API calls, classes, methods, and notification events  in C#, as well as download working bits of sample code. “Don’t expect a mapping for all of the APIs, simply because the platforms are built upon different architectures and user interfaces,” the post continues. “For this first round we focused on identifying the one-to-one mapping when it exists. In the following versions we’ll expand the scope and anytime the concepts are similar enough, we’ll do our best to provide the appropriate guidance.” Microsoft’s tool can be found here.

iPhone users can now protect sensitive core components of their iPhone devices, including personal and business contact information. Due to the lack of inherent encryption capabilities on most iPhones and the exposed weaknesses of iPhone 3GS encryption, personal contact information can easily be accessed from a lost, stolen or compromised device.

SMobile Systems‘ ContactCrypt 1.6 is now available on the iTunes App Store. The software application is built to encrypt sensitive personal and business data including contact names, home addresses, account numbers, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and other critical data stored in the Contacts section of the iPhone. While other iPhone App Store encryption applications simply provide a vault mechanism to store user passwords, ContactCrypt is the first, third-party security application on the App Store to specifically protect and encrypt core components of the iPhone operating system itself.

With the recent release of iPhone encryption for 3GS devices proven to be easily bypassed by numerous security experts, the release of ContactCrypt has become all the more critical.
