HTML5 and the Future of Mobile Apps and Gaming
01 Feb 2012 by Jake Joraanstad
HTML5 will change the way we view mobile apps, and will change the way we think about how software has to be viewed on a mobile device. It will even change the way we view desktop applications. HTML5 is the biggest game changer since Apple’s App Store. But if what I am saying is right, then why hasn’t this all come true yet? The reasons are many, some minor and easily overcome, and som...

First Look: Using Windows 8 on a Tablet
30 Jan 2012 by Kevin Schulte
Microsoft is aiming high with Windows 8. Not only will Windows 8 be their next flagship desktop operation system, Microsoft is also looking to make it their first OS that’s actually usable on a tablet (anyone who has used any version of Windows on a tablet up to now will tell you that it makes for a less than stellar experience). I recently had the good fortune to play around with a tablet (...

Transfer files and control your phone wirelessly with AirDroid for Android
20 Jan 2012 by Kevin Schulte
Managing files and data on an Android device can be a chore at times. To move files back and forth you have to keep a micro USB cable handy. Not only that, in order to move files to your phone’s SD card it has to first be unmounted from your phone, which can take a while if you’re still using an ancient phone with limited internal memory (like me) and have tons of applications installe...

Use Bubbles and Your Android Phone to Create Memorable Phone Calls
19 Jan 2012 by Kevin Ivanca
In a world filled with short attention spans and thinning short-term memories, it can sometimes be difficult to remember to mentioning important topics while making a phone call. Heck, give a person 30 minutes of phone conversation to wander, and their mind will stray further than the island of Lilliput (hint: it’s a fictitious location from a book). Well I don’t know about you, but ...

CES 2012: Day 2 Recap – LG, Samsung, Vizio, and Microsoft
10 Jan 2012 by Craig Lloyd
The second day of CES-ness is now behind us and wow, was it a busy one! Numerous companies held their press events today, including Microsoft, which hosted the opening keynote for this year’s CES. To say the least, tons of stuff happened. Since I won’t cover everything (that would literally be like writing a book) and to save your sanity, I’m just going to go over the bigger high...

Launcher 7 Brings the Windows Phone 7 Experience To Android
08 Dec 2011 by Kevin Schulte / 4 Comments
Windows Phone 7 may not have caught on like Microsoft was hoping it would, but it does present some interesting ideas. One of those is its minimalist, tile-based homescreen. Thanks to the wonders of Android, you can now get that same experience on your Android phone with Launcher 7. Windows Phone 7 (and by proxy Launcher 7) eschews the familiar rows and columns of icons used by stock Android and i...

Windows Phone 7 Alert: HTC Connection Settings app is bad for your phone
07 Dec 2011 by Bryant Sombke / 2 Comments
If your Windows Phone has “HTC Connection Settings” installed on it, remove it immediately. If you come across this app in the Marketplace, do not download it. It’s a pointless app that serves no real purpose, anyway, so I doubt anyone would miss it. I know I don’t.

“Batch” is the ultimate mobile photo sharing app for iPhone
02 Dec 2011 by Brian Nelson
In the smart phone era, everyone is an amateur photographer. Equipped with high-def capabilities and nearly bottomless storage, we produce a lot of photos on a daily basis which we’ve opted to share individually on Twitter or in bulk on Facebook. The problem is that sharing full albums with friends requires a bit of effort — downloading to your desktop, uploading to Facebook — wh...

Is Nokia building a Google Wallet competitor?
16 Nov 2011 by Brian Nelson
Nokia has alluded to a Near Field Communication (NFC) driven wallet app for a long time, but is it finally almost here? According to NFC Rumors, Nokia is in talks with JP Morgan to bring an NFC payment app to Windows Phones and possibly devices powered by Symbian, their home brew OS. Nokia is still the reigning leader in the number of handsets they produce each year, and this could provide much-...

Adobe kills Flash for mobile in favor of HTML5
15 Nov 2011 by Craig Lloyd
That’s it, folks. Adobe Flash Player for mobile devices has officially packed up its bags and walked out the door never to be seen again. Of course, Flash for desktop operating systems will live on (and probably not all that well), but Adobe has decided that Flash on mobile devices just isn’t in the cards. Many critics may think that the sole reason behind this was that Apple didn̵...
