Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about how Google is ditching Webkit for their own Blink in the Chrome browser, and even Samsung is doing something similar by partnering with Mozilla. Then we talk Samsung again as their new US retail experience begins this month on Best Buy. We later talk some Nokia and the possibility of the Catwalk being launched on May 15th. Later we find some leaked images of a possible iPhone prototype with a curved display and curved back. We end today's show talking about the Facebook Home Android Launcher, and also about the new HTC First which will be the ...

Apple's releases of each major version of iOS have all concentrated on WWDC, which makes a lot of sense since this is the World Wide Developers Conference that happens every year in June. As is obvious, iOS 7 was planned to be released on those dates, but that's actually only two months away if you think of it. Sources very close to Apple have begun the rumor that Apple is running behind on the development of the OS. Apparently the company is even using resources from OS X in their future 10.9 update (which sometimes varies in its release between WWDC and the fall) in order to reach the ...

Since Steve Jobs passed in the fall of 2011, right around when the iPhone 4S was announced, we've been looking for signs of what his absence might mean for the design of Apple products. Could his influence still be showing, even this far down the line? That's the impression we get from an off-hand comment made by a San Francisco politician. That city, like many other major cities, faces plenty of issues with theft, and smartphones and tablets are attractive targets. In the interest to curb such incidents, SF District Attorney George Gascón met with Apple government liaison Michael Foulkes ...

When Apple first announced the iPhone and revealed iOS to the world, it was truly groundbreaking and innovative stuff. And the flood gates were opened when App Store was finally introduced. Now with over 800,000 applications at every iOS user's disposal and 26.9 percent global smartphone market share, the operating system is certainly a force to be reckoned with. That said, it's no secret that iOS is showing its age, and it might even be slipping in mind share. Apple has released a major point update every year since 2007, currently bringing the OS to iOS 6. Each of these major point ...

When I worked in wireless retail, I would sell customers on the iPhone at least five times more often than any other smartphone, despite the fact that I wasn't a personal fan and my store made next to nothing on them. I was an Android and BlackBerry guy at the time, and had either of them been better (for basic consumers) at the time, I probably would have sold more DROIDs and 'Berrys. But back then, about three and a half years ago, the iPhone was simply the best choice for the average consumer, hands down. It was the gold standard in mobile, and for years, every high-end smartphone was ...

There's a whole bunch of new Apple hardware we're expecting to see arrive sometime this year. We've got a new iPhone – probably the iPhone 5S, but maybe the 6 – along with a new iPad and iPad mini, and maybe even some budget version of the iPhone. A number of timetables have been tossed around for when each of these products might be announced, and while the spring claims are sounding less likely, both this summer and later in October have been suggested as possibilities. Now rumors are attempting to narrow things down to a specific date. According to what Gizmorati calls an Apple ...

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the latest Phone unlocking bill, and why we've just become underwhelmed. Then we move to Nokia as we've got some new rumors of a metallic Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon. Then we move to the iPhone 5S and some weird rumors of the device supporting fingerprint scanning and NFC. We later talk about our unboxing of the HTC One, along with some issues that retailers are already reporting. We then end today's show talking about the leaked Samsung Galaxy S 4 and also Samsung's probable move away from AMOLED technology. All this and more after the break. ...

Wireless charging is an inevitable evolution whether you like it or not and companies like Nokia, LG and HTC, have already identified a market niche -- or acknowledged the trend -- offering wireless charging solution in some of their flagship phones. According to the rumor mill Samsung and Apple will jump on the wireless charging bandwagon, of course, each with its own take. Unnamed sources claim that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S IV will support QI standard wireless charging, however, with a twist: it will not be there out of the box but could be enabled by purchasing a special, official ...
