BioAid App: Transforms Your iOS Device Into A Free Working Hearing Aid
As a hearing impaired adult who wears hearing aids in both ears, I can confirm one thing - hearing aids are expensive. They are rarely covered by health insurance and frequently cost over $2,000 apiece. Many hearing impaired individuals, myself included, require two hearing aids to assist with their ...
Jony Ive Spearheads Minimalist Design Overhaul For iOS
Ever since Scott Forstall was dumped from Apple over the Maps debacle and Jony Ive took over the “human interface design” section of iOS, many believed that this signalled the beginning of a change in the direction of Apple’s mobile operating system, which has remained largely the same (in terms of ...
iOS App Switcher: Smartest Multitasking Concept Yet
It's like waiting for an avalanche. The smartphone interface has been the same for a long time. I don't mean 'same' in the real sense of the word, but there has not been much innovation around it. It's pretty much the same incremental upgrades like what the iPhone has had lately. It's time for somet ...

iOS Version Timeline: Milestones Throughout The Years [Infographic]
It's funny to me how we blast Apple for not being innovative anymore. For a company that has introduced 9 new hardware devices and 51 total iOS updates in five and a half years, they are certainly not getting credit for what they do. Apple is a proactive company, and one that is way more innovative ...
Bluetooth Handset Gloves: Answer Phone By Putting Fingers To Your Ear
A month ago, Richard wrote an article about some rings (the kind you put on your fingers) that allow you to answer your phone when you put your fingers to your ear. It was a pretty rad concept, and you can read about it at Cell Phone Rings Incorporate The Ancient "Call You" Gesture. That isn't a pro ...

All-In-One Dock For iOS & Android Has Features For Everything
Do you think you have the most robust and universal smartphone dock there is? If so, think again. Recently it seems manufacturers have stepped up their game a little and started incorporating really useful features into smartphone docks. These are features we can actually use and that would be helpf ...

This Is What A Typical Female Mac User Looks Like [Chart]
We've all seen the comparisons of Mac vs. PC people, and they're always good for a giggle. Obviously everyone is different so those studies are half-baked from the get go, but they're still entertaining to read. I remember about a year ago when Richard wrote a Mac vs. PC People article. According to ...

What You Didn’t Know About Mobile Advertising [Infographic]
If you are an online marketer, I'm sure you're well aware of the huge spike in mobile advertising over the past year. When I say a huge spike, I'm talking around a 180% increase. This of course has a lot to do with Facebook. There is a statement in an article I read on Venture Beat about a week ago ...
How To Create Custom Vibration Patterns On Your iPhone
We all know about the various customizations of the iPhone's ringtones and alarms, right? Since the beginning of the era of the cell phone, we have been able to personalize our ringtone to almost a ridiculous extent, but that has been about it really. The iPhone has incorporated many new features ov ...

Android vs. iOS: Loyalty Among Users [Infographic]
Android and iOS users have always competed about pretty much everything. It's an interesting rivalry that constantly spawns new products and innovations, not to mention never ending arguments about which one is best. There are of course statistics that could settle every single one of these argument ...

88 Best iOS Apps For Mobile Learning [Infographic]
Do you ever stop to think about how you gathered information before the Internet? If you needed to find an answer about anything, what did you do to find it? I don't really remember, but I think we called people on the phone, asked our parents or looked it up in an encyclopedia. No wonder learning w ...

Android vs. iOS: Which Users Are More Social? [Infographic]

The companies that do these ...
Move Over George Jetson, The Future Is Now (Mobile Video Chat)
I don't know about you, but there were two pieces of technology on the Jetsons that used to make me drool: flying cars and video calls - although now, as an adult, Rosie-the-robot maid sounds pretty good too!
While I don't have a flying car, maybe I don't need one since I can have "face-time" alm ...
Detailed Video On Why iOS Multitasking Is Killing Your Battery
It's so simple to fall into the habit of thinking that technology should just work. Sometimes we think that a gadget is released because it is flawless, and it can be used without having to think about anything other than the way we want to use it. Well, that is unfortunately not the reality of thin ...
