| ‘Cate’ combines Gmail, Twitter and other services into one unified messaging app Posted: 02 Sep 2013 04:21 PM PDT
I hate email. Even with innovative apps like Mailbox, I’d rather iMessage or talk with someone on Twitter than email back and forth with them. There’s subject lines, headers, signatures, and loads of other useless text—it’s just all way too complicated. I would be willing to reconsider my predisposition, though, if an application like this one ever makes it to market. It’s called ‘Cate,’ and in addition to being gorgeous, it promises to make communication easier with direct Gmail messaging and more…(...)

| The best apps for creating, editing, and sharing documents on the go Posted: 02 Sep 2013 04:00 PM PDT
When it comes to productivity, Apple's iOS ecosystem is chocked full of apps to help you get things done. It may not have the full Microsoft Office Suite, but there are many other apps that make it possible for you to access and edit your Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents just as easily as if you were on a Windows phone or tablet. Plus, Office is overrated anyway. The App Store has hundreds of productivity apps that will make your working life easy. In the App Store right now, Apple has made a list of top productivity apps. We've narrowed their list down to our 10 favorite apps for creating, editing, and sharing documents on the go…(...)

| Is this Samsung’s new smartwatch? Posted: 02 Sep 2013 02:13 PM PDT
It appears that Samsung is going to beat Apple to the wearable tech space this week. The company has an ‘Unpacked’ media event scheduled for Wednesday, September 4, where it’s widely presumed to unveil a new smartwatch. Now, this category is still fairly new, so we really don’t know what to expect to see on Wednesday. But if these images from VentureBeat are legitimate, Samsung’s Galaxy watch will feature a 3-inch display and a chunky design…(...)

| Apple revamps its bug-reporting tool Radar Posted: 02 Sep 2013 01:48 PM PDT
Apple’s Bug Report is among more than a dozen services that were disrupted during a ten-day Dev Center outage earlier this month. The web-based tool, also known under the ‘Radar’ moniker, gives Apple’s registered iOS and OS X developers the official venue to file all sorts of bug reports. The improved version of Bug Reporter went live after this year’s WWDC, but soon got pulled because- oh, the irony – it was riddled with bugs. The old, pre-WWDC Bug Report had long been a running joke. Seriously, it was so bad that a few hundred developers signed a ‘Fix Radar or GTFO’ petition demanding that Apple squash pesky bugs and rethink the tool with a more intuitive approach. The redesigned version has now gone live for all developers with an Apple Developer Account, featuring improved searching, attachments and other improvements…(...)

| Nintendo should make great games for iOS Posted: 02 Sep 2013 12:14 PM PDT
Although Nintendo made it clear on multiple occasions that they will not port their games to other platforms, things aren’t looking up for the Japanese company that’s been slashing prices left and right in a hope it will sell more of its gaming devices. Apple pundit John Gruber chimes in and shares his views about what Nintendo should do to keep relevant in a market it helped define:(...)

| Verizon confirms $130 billion purchase of Vodafone stake in Verizon Wireless Posted: 02 Sep 2013 11:41 AM PDT
It’s official, Verizon has reached an agreement with Vodafone to buyout its 45% stake in Verizon Wireless for $130 billion. The news comes after several months of rumors and speculation, and a report from The Wall Street Journal this weekend. The deal, which is expected to close by the beginning of next year, is significant for a few reasons. For one, it will put Verizon in full control of the largest wireless carrier in the US. And two, it will rank as one of the largest acquisitions in history…(...) "Verizon confirms $130 billion purchase of Vodafone stake in Verizon Wireless" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Activist investor Carl Icahn could push Apple to buy Nuance Posted: 02 Sep 2013 10:34 AM PDT
A lot of watchers hit the panic button after the billionaire investor Carl Icahn announced taking a “large position” in Apple (think north of $1 billion), which more often than not acts as a Wall Street code-word for impending board/CEO changes and hostile takeovers. But these people needn’t worry if an article by the New York Post is anything to go by. As it turns out, Icahn may be simply looking to leverage his newly acquired influence to force Apple into buying Nuance Communications, whose technology powers Siri’s speech recognition. Icahn just recently has conveniently increased his stake in Nuance and now owns 16.4 percent of the company. Coincidentally or not, the investor said that both Apple and Nuance in his view are currently undervalued…(...)

| Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition is coming to iOS Posted: 02 Sep 2013 09:30 AM PDT
Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, BioWare's classic role-playing game set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, launched on the App Store last December combining the original Baldur's Gate game, the Tales From the Sword Coast expansion pack, an additional monk character, a new 'Black Pits' adventure and lost more content. The game was yanked from the App Store a few months later due to a number of contractual issues with published Beamdog. It has since returned to the App Store as those problems had been resolved in a mutually satisfactory manner and now we’re hearing that the official sequel, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, will launch on the iPhone and Android later this year…(...)

| Shazam previews now play right in Twitter Posted: 02 Sep 2013 08:20 AM PDT
Apart from bringing out the ability to purchase multiple songs at once through iTunes back in June, the music discovery service Shazam has been pretty quiet in terms of its iPhone and iPad app, releasing only a few maintenance updates. Today’s version 6.2.1 update changes that. The just-refreshed application now features way faster song recognition on older devices and brings integration with Twitter, allowing everyone to play tweeted out Shazam song previews right in Twitter, thanks to Shazam’s new Twitter Card. The micro-blogging service recently released an iOS music discovery app called #music so this Shazam update ups the ante in terms of social music discovery. More tidbits right after the break…(...)

| Blue iPhone 5C packaging surfaces online, gets removed at the request of a ‘relevant party’ Posted: 02 Sep 2013 07:15 AM PDT
After sharing blurry photographs of the supposed plastic iPhone 5C showing the devices’s packaging and printed manual, the same Chinese source is back at it and now has posted a pair of new images. The photos appear to picture the blue, white and yellow iPhone 5C units in their boxes and a close-up shot of the blue iPhone 5C. The latter is especially interesting as we’re treated to a nice scene of the device’s supposedly rounded edges, part of its Unibody enclosure in matte finish. It’s quite compelling, have a look below…(...) "Blue iPhone 5C packaging surfaces online, gets removed at the request of a ‘relevant party’" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Alleged red iPhone 5C running Safari shown off in blurry video Posted: 02 Sep 2013 05:48 AM PDT
This past weekend, a set of blurry photographs sourced from China claimed to have showed us the plastic iPhone 5C packaging along with color-matched wallpapers and the Quick Start manual. As we approach Apple’s September 10 reveal, a suspicious looking video has now surfaced online showing what looks to be Apple’s plastic iPhone running the Safari browser. Needles to say, the clip is making rounds and has already prompted a pretty heated exchange among the Apple watchers, have a look below…(...)

| Images of alleged iPhone 5C packaging and manual hit the web Posted: 02 Sep 2013 01:01 AM PDT
A new image surfaced online this weekend, claiming to depict a dozen iPhone 5C units in their retail packaging. The phone, which is believed to be Apple’s long-rumored budget iPhone, is shown in a transparent box similar to that of the iPod touch. The image was accompanied by two other photos, which also claim to show 5C packaging material. If legitimate, they offer a sneak peek at the handset’s user manual, including a device diagram and legal information, and its SIM card ejection tool…(...)
