| Insiders say Amazon could unveil smartphone tomorrow Posted: 05 Sep 2012 05:02 PM PDT
We’re nearing the end of the two-week run of product announcements leading up to Apple’s iPhone event. Last week, Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Note 2. And today, both Nokia and Motorola showed off new hardware. Tomorrow, Amazon will play the final opening act with a media event in Los Angeles, where it’s expected to unveil a handful of new Kindle tablets. But according to a new report, it may have a few surprises up its sleeves…(...) "Insiders say Amazon could unveil smartphone tomorrow" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Android marches: 480M devices, 1.3M daily activations, 70,000 tablets per day Posted: 05 Sep 2012 04:00 PM PDT
Google chairman Eric Schmidt shared some headline-grabbing updates related to the Android platform during today’s unveiling of the refreshed Razr family by Motorola Mobility, now a Google division. Most notably, we learned that Google now counts a whopping 480 million Android devices in the wild. That’s a cool 80 million units improvement over a total of 400 million activations announced at Google I/O on June 27-28 of this year. Yes, Android smartphones and tablets collectively outsell all iOS devices combined. Afraid? Don’t be, Google actually beat Apple on that metric back in June. Daily activations surged from a million Android devices back in June to today’s number of 1.3 million daily activations. No matter how you look at it, that’s a very, very impressive figure, one proving there’s no shelter from the Android carpet bombing. But what about tablets?(...)

One of the latest accessory crazes to hit the mobile industry are smartwatches — wearable computers that share data with smartphones. There’s the Pebble, the Meta Watch, and now Casio has one. Casio announced a new addition to its G-Shock line today — arguably one of the most recognizable wristwatch lines in the world. It has built-in Bluetooth, and can talk directly to the iPhone…(...)

With just a week left to go until Apple unveils its new smartphone, the next-gen iPhone leaks are in full swing. Yesterday, we saw pictures of the handset’s battery. And today, this. A repair firm has just uploaded photos of a nearly fully assembled iPhone 5 laying next to an iPhone 4. And the shots give us a good idea of just how thin the device is going to be…(...)

| Adobe Photoshop Touch goes Retina, gets 12-megapixel canvas Posted: 05 Sep 2012 03:05 PM PDT
Adobe today issued Photoshop Touch for iPad version 1.3, a major update that finally brings the much-needed Retina graphics to do away with fuzzy user interface elements on the third-generation iPad. Also new in Photoshop Touch 1.3 are two additional image effects called Shred and Colorize and a new pixel nudging mode for precise movements. It now supports Apple’s Photo Stream, an iCloud feature that keeps up to a thousand most recent photos in sync across your devices. Most importantly, Photoshop Touch 1.3 finally supports bigger canvas and up to twelve-megapixel images on the iPad 3 (ten-megapixel on the iPad 2). As is the norm with software release, the app also sports various bug fixes and minor improvements, including a snappier interface and faster animations…(...)

| Deceptive advertising: Nokia admits to faking the PureView ad Posted: 05 Sep 2012 02:18 PM PDT
Nokia has always been the smartphone imaging king so no wonder the ailing cell phone giant emphasized advanced camera capabilities as the headline feature of its new flagship Lumia 920 smartphone, launched earlier today. PureView technology debuted last year on Nokia’s Symbian-driven PureView 808 handset. It’s based on a pixel oversampling technique which reduces an image taken at full resolution into a lower resolution variant in order to enable lossless zoom and improve light sensitivity and crispness. Though the new Lumia 920 only has a 8,x-megapixel sensor versus a whopping 41-megapixel on the PureView 808, it still takes in five times more light than other camera phones and taps image signal processor for some cool image stabilization technology (the iPhone 4S also does that). Unfortunately, Nokia has gone too far in promoting PureView’s ability to stabilize shaky video, as proven by its latest commercial…(...)

The company unveiled the Droid Razr HD, the Droid Razr Maxx HD, and the Droid Razr M. With a subsidized price of $99, the Razr M is the cheaper of the three handsets.

| Google Drive iOS app to gain native editing capabilities Posted: 05 Sep 2012 01:19 PM PDT
Google earlier today accidentally (or intentionally, perhaps?) published a post meant to accompany an upcoming update to its Drive cloud storage client for iOS and Android devices. The new version, which should go live in just a few days, brings with it the ability to edit documents right inside the app, making the app much more useful, especially to avid Google Docs users who keep their presentations, spreadsheets and documents in the Google cloud. Previously, there was no way to natively edit your Google documents in-app. You can always edit your documents online via the Safari browser, but that experience is not satisfactory due to sluggishness and the clumsy interface that lacks full capabilities of its desktop counterpart. The updated iOS client should also let you view Google presentations on the device. Full changelog, courtesy of the Google cache, is right after the break…(...)

Inspired by a cord covered kitchen counter, MagSkin’s humble beginnings centered around a hobby project for friends.

| Apple says it had nothing to do with leaked UDIDs Posted: 05 Sep 2012 10:58 AM PDT
A few nights ago, a group of hackers known as AntiSec published a list of over 1 million Apple device IDs. The group says it obtained the UDIDs, and tons of other information, from the laptop of an FBI agent. Yesterday, the FBI released a statement, saying that there was no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised, or that its agents collected the data. And today, Apple commented on the situation…(...) "Apple says it had nothing to do with leaked UDIDs" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.
