The research agency, Yankee Group, has released a few of its findings in the last study they performed. Part of those findings show that at least 40 percent of Europeans that are considering purchasing a smartphone, will indeed choose the iPhone. Part of the same group of people is leaning towards an Android, a BlackBerry, and a Nokia phone. However, the iPhone is the winner with the bigger chunk of pie.
The agency stated that these findings only come to support the strength and presence that the iPhone has in the old continent. The company’s VP Declan Lonergan stated that other mobile phone giants such as RIM and Nokia should pay attention to the growing popularity of iPhone.
The research project has only published certain findings, and besides the percentage of the market share for iPhone, they also shared that employees find the tablet as a reliable device. +Continue Reading
The battle between Apple and Nokia has finally come to an end after 20 months of dispute. The battle was in regards to the lawsuit that Nokia filed against Apple in 2009, stating that they were crossing the patent border.
The Finnish giant alleged that all iPhones violated 10 of their Espoo patents that were associated with Wi-Fi, GSM, and UMTS. Nokia continued to state that countless of other companies had paid for a license in order to make use of the technology, yet Apple was the only one to disagree on the terms. Finally, this has been settled and it has been decided that Apple must make one single payment upfront but also continuing allowances to the Espoo-based giant.
The detailed stipulations of the agreement are not to be disclosed. In addition, the resolution also includes that both parties will proceed to remove their complaints from the United States ITC (International Trade Commission). Nokia continued to announce that they were very satisfied with the conclusion of the 20-month litigation, and that they were more than happy to finally have Apple onboard as one of their licensees. +Continue Reading
It seems that these last few months have been hacker months. This time the victim is Apple – once again – with their latest iOS. Allegedly hackers were able to jailbreak the newest iOS version in less than 24 hours after it was released in beta mode.
Before discussing about this we have to say that iOS 5th version was announced at WWDC 2011(along iCloud) and has more then 1500 new APIs for developers and a total of 200 new features for its users. It was a necesary update and it seams that this time Apple made the right move and corrected some of the issues that users were experienced problems with. During the WWDC keynote, Apple featured 10 of the iOS features: Notification Center, Newsstand, Twitter, Safari, Reminders, Camera, Mail, PC Free, Game Center and iMessage.
The group that perpetrated the iOS 5 hack is known as iPhone Dev Team, and they made it known through their Twitter account that they had successfully jailbroken the brand new iOS 5. According to the group the OS is vulnerable to limera1n, which is the popular jailbreak technique that releases iOS 4, 4.1, and 4.1.2. +Continue Reading

Many of us have probably tried to expand our vocabularies by reading a book or playing crosswords puzzles. Although the second option might be more fun than the first, chances are you’re give up halfway through the puzzle.
A new app for iOS 4.0 compatible devices can be the next best thing when it comes to helping you learn new words to enhance your current vocabulary. The app is called Vocabology and luckily it is free of cost. It has been well received among most users because it combines words that are pulled from the Merriam-Webster dictionary and also words from the Urban Dictionary.
One of the many cool things of this app is that it challenges the user to really learn the word by testing them with different quizzes and applying the new words in the social media world. This pushes the user to apply the new words in sentences, making it more of an everyday thing rather than a one-time challenge.
Vocabology also provides the user with new words in German, French, Portuguese, and Italian which can make it a lot more fun and interesting. +Continue Reading
