While it is widely believed that this year’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference will be largely be focused on software, recent rumors suggest we could see some new hardware as well. More specifically, a report from 9to5 Mac claims that Apple will announce a new generation of its hyper-portable MacBook Air lineup. Both the 11-inch and 13-inch models are said…
Google Now is the big talk of the app world this week. The popular productivity and reference feature within the latest update of Google’s Search app for iPhone and iPad was introduced only two days ago, but is already coming under criticism for its supposed lack of efficiency. Users are reporting that they’ve seen drastic changes in expected battery…
If you’ve updated to iOS 5 since October (and there’s an 80% chance that you have) you’ll most likely have experienced the less than perfect battery performance. Almost everyone I’ve spoken to has noticed a slight dip in efficiency, some had an odd bug whereby the fuel would drain in only a few hours. Whatever you’ve experienced, it’s taken for granted…
Battery life seems like it is always an issue for Apple. Now, they are not the only one, but it seems to come up a lot.

SpareOne has just debuted a phone at CES that I think is pretty remarkable, not because it is a smartphone overflowing with awesome specs (it is quite the opposite), but because of its incredible battery life. The SpareOne phone is the first phone to run off of a single AA battery. This means that you are not tied down to a…
Battery life is probably one of the most annoying things that this generation has to deal with. Well, that and parking spaces, but that is another story. The battery of a phone, in my opinion, can either make or break the device. If the battery doesn’t last a full day, what is the point?
