Sony Xperia S owners have been (im)patiently waiting for news on when they would be seeing the latest and greatest Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean for their devices. Sony’s track record with such things isn’t exactly spotless. But alas, the story has a happy ending. Today, Sony’s Mobile UI Twitter account has updated the masses, saying that Jelly Bean is in fact still coming, and to look for more details around “mid-December”. By mid-Q1 2013 the...
The new iMacs are just now hitting the streets. And not even 24 hours later, someone has gone and sacrificed a shiny new model in the name of science and general geek curiosity by tearing it apart. Japanese site Kodawarisan ripped into the new iMacs, showing that once again, it’s not only the outside of Apple products that are well designed and dare we say, even nice to look at too. In the name of efficiency, cooling is centralized as much as possible and convection...
Not much has been released for the iPhone 5 by the way of battery cases. We love to test out battery cases. We’ve featured and reviewed many over the past many months. Since we muddied the Las Vegas waters in search of battery cases at CES, we’ve tried many and given our thoughts on what we found. With the release of the iPhone 5, nothing really has been featured anywhere. Not much has even been released. Lately we’ve seen some items in the works, and...
We all know The Pirate Bay, it’s a name that the internet echoes to the masses at every dark corner we stumble upon. Whether you are a pirate at heart, or an anti-piracy troop, you know the name. Whether you like the name, or the idea behind The Pirate Bay, they’re a driving force in a party of individuals that stand for something greater than you might know. Earlier in the year, The Pirate Bay decided it was time to show people they were just here to...
iPhone cases, something we are all-too-familiar with. We’ve probably had our sticky fingers on somewhere close to 200 cases, most of which we’ve featured here for you to read. We know sometimes we can throw a lot at you, but when you think about all the non-sense companies out there, slapping material together and really only producing something that ruins the beauty that is iPhone, what we’re doing is really only here to help you, the reader. We try to weed out the...
Sprint has made it plenty clear: Nextel is being killed off. The spectrum the ancient as dirt iDen currently occupies will be repurposed for much better things, namely, Sprint’s 3G voice services. But even with promises of fancy modern network technologies, there will always be stragglers. But being a straggler on the dying iDen network will now also be more costly as soon as 2013. Sprint announced today that after the new year rolls around, all Nextel subscribers on...
If you read our Incipio iPhone 5 case round-up you’ll know we absolutely loved the LGND case. The folio style was well built and good looking. The form factor is now one of our favorites. So when we saw Tech 21′s Impact Snap w/ Cover case, we knew we had to try it. So does it hold its own to Incipio’s LGND? Definitely. The leather flap on the front is actually nicer than the LGND as it has more material attaching it to the main part of the case. That...
For Microsoft, the Surface with Windows 8 RT is the future of computing – a not-so-heavy desktop-like OS with touch baked in and plenty of modern looking UI elements and ways to interact with said elements. The Surface Pro, however, is the workhorse that is supposed to supplement the RT variant moving forward. If Microsoft is to own the market as they claim they’re trying to do, both the more casual/consumer and hardcore markets are going to have to be catered...
Most phone cases you find on the market will largely ignore the rear of the device. While there might be some unique design, and in a few scenarios, a pocket or other useful addition, most often it is simply a wide swath of unused space. Popslate’s new iPhone 5 case takes the act of repurposing the backside of your device to a completely different level thanks to the built-in 4-inch e-ink display. That’s right. A freakin’ e-ink display is built into the...
In a world where we’re trying to reduce the number of standalone devices, the mobile phone is becoming increasingly popular for everyday tasks. Sitting in presentations, now you can use things such as the X-Pointer from Satechi to help emphasize data during the meeting. Satechi also has their X-Presenter app to help control the laser pointer and manage the presentation itself with the in-app controls. X-Presenter App Screenshots The app itself is pretty...
