This is Part 2 of the App Store series and it focuses on how Apple’s iTunes App Store can be improved. Part 1 is here. Ahh I miss Genius. Specifically, Genius for Apps. I can’t say it was particularly good but it was there, and under general usage, it’s more practical than “Near Me” that’s…
There’s an app for that. Everyone loves and makes extensive use of application stores. People of all ages, of different industries, people seeking bite-sized fun on the go, people of different professions…the list is literally endless. And so are the potentials of a well-curated, well-maintained application store. Question is, are these application stores today…
Photo by Ian Zuppinger These days it’s not uncommon to see children glued to a piece of gadget one way or another. And they do so to the point where they are so completely engrossed, nothing can pry it out of their hands. In schools, IT computer rooms are less and less important compared to…
Imagine a world where battery life is no longer a concern, a restriction. Where would smartphones be or what should they be? Is it a question of software catching up with hardware or would it be the other way around? A couple months posts (been lazy) back I wrote about the Samsung Galaxy…
Samsung had been quite sensible with the Galaxy S3 and the mobile race- they didn’t compete using battery-draining killer specs. Instead, they began a whole new era in the race- the Sensor Wars. Sure everyone was expecting a never before seen design that’ll beat the current and near-future iPhones and it being made of…
We’re now so close to Samsung announcing the oft-rumoured Galaxy S3. Sadly my excitement has greatly diminished ever since I purchased the gorgeous HTC One X. And it is exactly that. The HTC One X having done a great job at kicking off the quad core smartphone era is now arguably leading both on the…
[There is now an unofficial fix/mod for this on xda developers!] Considering the amount of customization HTC has made to the phone, it is somewhat hard to understand why it stuck to Android ICS’s default navigation bar buttons convention when it designed its own physical touch buttons on the device. The reason why this…
CRAP. You know what’s good? This: The Galnet MIUI rom (Build 2.11.26) I was ready to sell off my Galaxy S2 (yes not exactly old..). All content backed up, all data partitions wiped, flashed a new fresh rom and so on. It was ready. It was to be replaced with…
first of all, let’s look at ios5’s headline features shall we?– overhauled notifications system, Android-style!– wireless sync!– OTA updates!– Widgets!…and of course quite a number of other features These additions are pretty amazing and means giving users a much larger degree of convenience and freedom. Imagine not having those intrusive notification popups, not having…
I’ve been through quite a few games with QTEs and most if not all have failed to make the fullest use of the system. And frankly Heavy Rain isn’t an exception. It’s a good improvement: the button prompts are far more legible but that was it. In fact it may well have gone a…
