Geller based the posters around typical responses to ‘you should message me if…’, ‘on a typical Friday night I’m…’ and ‘six things I could never do without’. More »
Google and Apple do not really have that kind of close relationship all the time, as the dynamics of it tend to cause plenty of tension – somewhat like how Apple and Samsung are bedded together in some weird way, and yet cannot stand the sight of each other. Well, Google Maps and Apple Maps have had their fair share of documentation recently, but when it comes to social networks, Apple does not really have much leverage in that department. The Google+ app has just been updated recently for both Android and iOS platforms, where the iPhone 5 is now supported.
Regardless of the platform where you use Google+ on your mobile device now, you as the manager of a page (or pages) can post and comment on items on the go, while respective versions will also carry features that are unique in their own way. For instance, the Android version has a revamped home screen widget, while folks with Apple devices will see it pick up iOS 6/iPhone 5 compatibility in addition to being able to edit posts, save photos to the camera roll and look up people and posts on the iPad.

I guess you can put all of those questions to bed for good now, where the formal invitation for the upcoming event has splashed out all the relevant details, with October 24th marking the day where the US would see the formal announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. It will be part of the Galaxy Note 2 World Tour, so once that is done and over with, you can start looking out for the relevant mobile carriers to make their very own announcements as to when the Galaxy Note 2 will be made available to the clamoring masses who want a phablet that has a speedy quad-core processor to boot.

Earlier this morning, we talked about how there was a LG Nexus 4 spotted in a Carphone Warehouse listing, coming in both black and white shades. Well, it seems that a new rumor has pointed towards the viability of the Nexus 4 being launched in just a few weeks’ time. According to French newspaper Le Figaro, they claim that Google has every intention of rolling out the Nexus 4 range this coming October 29th which so happens to fall on the last Monday of the month. Le Figaro continued that France will not be able to get hold of the Nexus 4 hardware until December, but for us folks living Stateside, it looks pretty good that the Nexus 4 will be hitting the US sometime next month.
Of course, who are we to discount the possibility of other hardware manufacturers also stepping forward to make their own announcements of a new Nexus hardware? Right now, it does seem as though LG is taking point with their LG Nexus 4. Which hardware manufacturer would you back when it comes to the Nexus brand name?
