I’ve been a huge supporter of Android over the past year. Ever since I purchased my Droid X, things have been okay. I’m checking my email, staying on top of social networks, and flinging Angry Birds around. But asking any more of my Android device is far too much, and that’s a big problem. What am I doing with an Android device, you ask? I didn’t have a choice in the matter. AT&T’s service was practically non-existent where I lived, which is amazing considering AT&T’s bold claims of their impressive network. And in 2010, the possibility of the iPhone on Verizon was only a rumor. Owning an iPhone…

With Apple in the process of suing Samsung for stealing the design used for iPhone and iPad, some interesting images have surfaced on the Internet that may reverse the claim: It just goes to show that if you’re going to go after someone, you should be sure that they don’t have a counter-claim against you….

Apple is suing Samsung for allegedly infringing on some of Apple’s patents — you know, that whole iPhone idea? — and Samsung, in response, is threatening litigation of its own, stating that Apple is allegedly infringing on some of Samsung’s wireless technology patents. This sounds typical, but this one is different. From the outside looking in, it might be acceptable to call Apple and Samsung close partners in the tech industry. Apple has purchased $5.7 billion worth of electronic parts from Samsung in 2010. That is a serious investment that can’t be overlooked. Both companies seemingly…

It’s still sort of interesting to ponder about the passing of the telephonic torch – that the shorthand ‘phone’ now typically refers exclusively to mobile phones, and that you have to clarify ‘home phone’ when discussing the landlines of Luddites still clinging to the past. Just give it up, guys. Mobile is the way. And speaking of such mobile ubiquity, check this out: an origami phone. Designed by Chengyuan Wei to be quick n’ drrty disposable, the phone is a single sheet of foam that folds into a more-or-less handset-shaped configuration – perfect for those months when you can’t even afford pay-as-you-go….

The Web browser has been a standard feature included with operating systems for years. Most of them look and act in a similar fashion, with the core behaviors being relatively similar. But the devices have changed, and now the browser is changing along with it. The 360 Web Browser is leading that change. Digital Poke’s tagline is “proving crazy concepts.” Well, 360 Web Browser truly is a crazy concept, but not only is it crazy, it is also amazing as well. It takes everything you know and love about the standard Web browsing experience and modernizes it for touch-based interfaces. Comparing…

Maybe not. Apple has now officially announced WWDC 2011, and the rumours are flying out of the mill faster than can be caught. Though Jobs n’ Friends have promised a ‘preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X’,it remains to be seen whether or not any hardware will be making the scene. The iPhone 5 might be a no-show – and according to the Loop, that’s a guarantee. Can WWDC be a rockin’ good time without a hardware announcement? Obviously an iPad 3 is an impossibility, as the second generation’s been out less than a month… or maybe it’s been a month. Time flies, y’know. Macs are approaching the morgue in…

There has been incredible discussions throughout the Web about Apple’s decision to take 30 percent of the revenues through iOS subscriptions. Many are not happy about the decision. I’m sorry to say, however, that everyone who disagrees is flat-out wrong. Apple is right. Many tech journalists — including John Gruber, MG Siegler, Dwight Silverman, and Rob Pegoraro — have their theories about this incredible pickle that Apple has presented to third-party developers. It makes for a fun, drama-filled discussion, but it also raises a few very important issues: how important are third-party…

Steve must’ve completely lost it. Not content to leave the z axis uninsulted, it would appear Jobs & Friends are still pursuing ever-slimmer, nigh-paper-thin iDevices, to the point of near lunacy. Check out this new patent, which details the construction of a new headphone jack design which would allow the use of traditional headphones in devices thinner than the adapter itself. Sorcery? Not quite – in all variants of the design, the headphone jack is only partially complete. In one version, a fleible material covers the exposed side of the jack, while in another, two small doors open to…

Lifelapse is an application for your iPhone that will take snap shots every 30 seconds, and, in turn, will give you an opportunity to replay your daily life. What does that mean, exactly? If you think about strapping a camcorder to your head and recording all day long, you have the idea. However, Lifelapse functions from a pouch (sold separately) that is positioned near your chest, giving a good view from your perspective. The only downside is you will probably look like a freak while wearing this thing — a small price to pay to have every memory of your daily life….

Perhaps you have a cell phone. Perhaps you’ve heard of Angry Birds. With appeal untold, Angry Birds has somehow climbed the sweaty ladder of the gaming industry to become what can legitimately be termed a phenomenon, as far as iPhone apps go. Maybe it’s the unpredictability of physics-based gameplay. Maybe it’s the pigs. Whatever the case, now people are making cakes out of it – as you’re no doubt already watching in the video, there. Well, carry on. As playable as this is, it would seem this particular fortress is not one knocked down easily (and not just due to the kid’s aiming ability) – perhaps…
