by Stephen Schenck | May 16, 2013 7:55 PMRead OnIt seems like any time we're talking about Intel and mobile chipsets, it begins with a story of huge missed opportunities. After all, Intel played a significant role in the Windows Mobile days, but sort of dropped off the radar when smartphones really started picking up steam, once the iPhone and Android arrived. Since then, Intel's tried to get its chips back into phones, but it's been a struggle. Intel CEO Paul Otellini just stepped down from his position, and in reflecting back on his career, expresses his regret that Intel missed out on getting one of its chips into the iPhone. ...

by Stephen Schenck | May 3, 2013 7:53 PMRead OnDespite the sporadic sightings of components that may end up in future Apple phones, Apple's doing a pretty good job keeping us guessing at what to expect. Maybe we'll learn of a new iPhone, a low-cost iPhone, and a jumbo-sized iPhone over the summer. Maybe we won't hear about anything at all until next year. Will we see all three of those rumored models, or just one or two? Today, we've got the rumored budget iPhone in the cross-hairs, with a couple new theories landing about how the phone will be sold. First up, Digitimes and its supply chain friends have been talking about numbers. ...

by Jaime Rivera | May 2, 2013 3:23 AMRead OnFor the longest time many of the security entities of the US Government have been BlackBerry-Only territory. It's really worth congratulating the company previously known as RIM for all the security features that you could find on their legacy operating system, which as of a couple of months ago, is history. Times have changed and it seems as if the DOD wants an upgrade to something newer and cooler. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Department of Defense is now working on adding Samsung Galaxy smartphones and Apple's iPhone and iPad devices into the list of approved gadgets to use. ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 29, 2013 5:40 PMRead OnI need a beer, and I'm sure many of you need a drink as well. If this was five years ago, I'd be by my second pack of cigarettes, and it has to do with how furious I am right now. Let me explain why: For starters, I wish I could express in words how long it took me to love Android. My first device was a Google Nexus One, and man, even though I started off at the right foot, it rarely ever felt that way. What a gorgeous phone and what a great experience overall, as long as I didn't turn it on. Froyo and Gingerbread were just stale and cartoony no matter how much I tried to love the device. ...

by Taylor Martin | April 18, 2013 3:08 PMRead OnIt's always fun to discover new music, and one of the best ways to do that is through the people you know, either online or in real life. And since many of us spend a great deal of our online time on social media, various networks have become hotbeds for music discovery. Facebook, for example, teamed-up with Spotify to stream what you're listening to on Spotify to your Facebook News Feed in real time. Today, Twitter officially launched its social music discovery app, #music. (Yes, the name has a hashtag in it.) The service is only currently available on iOS and via desktop browser at ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 5, 2013 6:30 AMRead OnIt doesn't matter how hard you try, iOS Maps is useless. It doesn't matter if you're going through 3D Aerial view, ever since Google was able to launch maps for iOS, most people can't recall the last time they ever used Apple's counterpart. Obviously Apple is not sitting in its laurels, and we do know they've made significant enhancements to the platform ever since its launch. New patents suggest that Apple wants to go a little further with the service and provide "Street View" functionality just like Google does on their Maps service. The patent is called "3D Position Tracking for ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 2, 2013 12:42 AMRead OnFor those of you who thought you'd never read this headline, well, it's happening. After years of trying to figure out a way to reach iOS customers with Apple's full ban on pornography, Playboy has finally launched an app for iOS, that's curiously just for the iPhone. Now, even though the app is retailed as free, you really have to pay $1.99 a month for their subscription service, which in a way makes sense for all the content you're getting, since you have to pay for the magazine, right? Wrong! Sadly, as with a ton of things for iOS, there's a catch to this app. Yes, this app is published ...

by Taylor Martin | March 28, 2013 6:25 PMRead OnFrom the moment the Pebble Kickstarter began, nearly one year ago, it has stolen the spotlight in the smartwatch sector. Although quite simplistic in nature, it is the best implementation of wearable technology to reach consumer hands to date. Pebble will not turn you into a super spy.

by Taylor Martin | March 25, 2013 7:00 AMRead OnThe introduction of tiered and shared data plans, unfortunately, brought pesky overages along with them. Unlike minutes and text messages, however, monitoring data can be a bit more ambiguous. You can easily quantify minutes and text messages with a simple count. With data, the only option is to watch your usage and monitor a few different sources that count the bytes as they're used. However, tracking data can still be tricky, and no one likes overages. Luckily, there are dozens of ways you can avoid going over your monthly data allotment. For one, you can simply curb your usage ...

by Adam Doud | March 13, 2013 7:00 AMRead OnYear after year, rumors surface that this is the year Apple introduces the “Cheap iPhone” and year after year, Apple does. They introduce discounted pricing on last year's iPhone. And they sell, and sell and sell. Maybe not at the rate at which the new iPhones sell. But they sell because they're still really good phones. Not the latest and greatest, not the sexiest, but they're still very good. This is the position at which Samsung finds themselves this Thursday. With the Galaxy IV set to be unveiled in just a hair over 36 hours, it is time for the GSIII to move on to the next phase ...
