The StubHub app for iOS has been updated with some nifty new features. One of these new features that many may find useful is price alerts, which means exactly what it sounds like, you set what price you are looking for, for a specific event, then if StubHub gets something matching that you will get a notification. That is a time saver, so that you don’t…
Lodsys is back after news broke about it suing Disney over the “Where’s My Water?” game on iOS. If you remember, Lodsys has been suing people since 2011 over in-app purchase patents that it has, with Apple even intervening on the side of the developers at one point. Well, now it is back at it, bringing in more developers that it claims has an application…
Patents – where the rumormill gets its power. That’s right, we have some more patents to talk about, and these ones look pretty awesome actually. The first of the bunch involves the lockscreen, aka one of the most criticized parts of iOS. What this patents shows is a possible way to access applications directly from the lockscreen. What?! That’s right,…
Samsung recently unveiled its long-awaited fourth addition to the ‘Galaxy S’ family, predictably named the Galaxy S4. The device directly competes with Apple’s not-so-new iPhone 5, but how much profit will Samsung make from it? Well, that should be easily calculable, as we already know how much each Galaxy S4 costs Samsung to build. IHS Suppli came up…
I would bet that when you first used iOS 6, the first thing you did was head over to the ‘Maps’ application and search for your home town. Annoyed that it wasn’t supported in Apple’s 3D flyover mode, you then searched for your nearest mapped city. Satisfied by the 3D buildings, you then moved to the outskirts of the city, only to find that the maps had…
I know, I know, it is hard to believe that the iPad is popular. Actually, who am I kidding? Everyone knows the iPad is popular, just look at the market share of tablets, it’s overrun by the iPad. Well, a recent survey decided to ask consumers what tablet they plan to buy (assuming they plan to buy one). The results were, well, overwhelmingly…
Today is the birthday of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. Some of the best selling children’s books ever, the series of Dr. Seuss books have been digitalized in the form of iOS applications, and to celebrate the man behind the whole thing, Oceanhouse Media (the publishing company behind the apps) has discounted 40+ of the Dr. Seuss applications….
According to what the rumor mill is churning out today, there is a possibility that iOS could see a complete rewrite to support up to 8 core processors before the iPhone 6 release. This coming from Jeffries analyst Peter Misek and the usual “supply chain sources”, the rumor says that Apple could be looking to “re-architect” iOS in order to…
Sprint customers have something to be happy about today. Well, if you live in one of a select 28 cities, that is. A press release from Sprint just announced 28 new cities that are getting lit up with LTE, but some of them seem to be random places, and aren’t large areas. Not to say that they aren’t important, I would just expect the larger metro areas…
