New web browser for your tablet

nine-Andriod

Tablet devices appear to be the new laptops nowadays.  I say this because it seems an increasing number of dedicated tablet web browsers are being created. For instance, OverSkreen is used on Android devices.  It apparently floats its web-windows on the top of the screen, which allows you to have more than one screen open [...]

What is Apple up To?

That’s a question I believe is exercising the minds of some experts in the mobile gadgetry world.  It seems there is a rumour circulating that the company is organising some sort of “strange” event this month ahead of launching the iPad 3. The news seemingly came from an unknown source inside Apple.  He is reported [...]

Apple now the Biggest PC Maker

Computers

It seems that sales of Apple’s iPad during the last quarter of 2011, has helped the manufacturer take a prestigious title – the biggest PC maker in the world. Apple even managed to outsell the former largest company, namely Hewlett Packard (HP). This rather strange news came, I believe, from a firm of analysts called [...]

Android Grabs Nearly 40% Tablet Market Share

Android

It seems that while Apple’s iPad is still the most popular device of its type, Android tablets are fast catching up.  Recent statistics show it now has a 39% market share. The growth in tablet devices overall has doubled since 2010 with 26.8 million units shipped globally last year.  Apple’s share dropped quite significantly from [...]

Apps For Children

Young Teen Girl Talking On Cellphone 10

My children have now grown up, and apps weren’t around when they were toddlers.  However, if they were I might have considered getting something, particularly since many if not most of them are very innovative and entertaining. It could be argued though that introducing your toddler or baby to a digital device and software is [...]

There’s More to the IPad Than Meets the Eye

I haven’t got an iPad, but from what I’ve seen of the device it possesses a lot of very usable functions.  However, it is the variety of different apps that can be run on the device that I think is what sets it apart from other similar devices. Of course, Android powered tablets running Google [...]

Helping Your Resolutions

It might now be a bit too late to be talking about resolutions, but if you need help for next year then help is at hand in the shape of two new apps for your iPhone. Personally, I no longer make a News Year’s resolution as I either forget or find it too difficult to [...]

iPad Downloads Top Three Billion

Have you downloaded an application to your iPad lately?  If you have then you are one of a massive number of iPad users doing the same thing.  I believe this prolific behaviour has produced a new record of three billion application downloads. This record is, I must admit, nothing short of sensational considering the iPad [...]

Apple Still Dominates

Despite the greater number of Android devices on the market, I believe Apple still dominates where revenue from application sales is concerned. Apparently the massive revenue Apple is benefiting from is also due to iPhone and iPad users in the main. The number of Google Apps available for download may be expected to equal and [...]
