We’re sure that many iOS users were bummed what Apple replaced Google Maps on their phones with Apple Maps, especially since there were many reports of inaccuracies over Apple’s Maps software. However when Google Maps was released as a standalone app for iOS, it’s safe to assume that many users quickly replaced Apple Maps with Google’s version, not only due to its familiarity, but with its more accurate track record. However considering that Apple invested a fair bit of money into acquiring the technology needed to create their own mapping services, they are busy working on making sure that it becomes as accurate and reliable as Google’s offering.
One of the ways that Apple is going about doing that is by hiring “Ground Truth” managers which will help improve the quality of Apple Maps in regions around the world, such as Eastern Europe and Japan. So what is “ground truth?” Well if you’re hearing this for the first time, according to its definition, it refers “to a process in which a pixel on a satellite image is compared to what is there in reality (at the present time) in order to verify the contents of the pixel on the image,” essentially helping to improve the accuracy of Apple Maps which happens to be one of the pet peeves many early Maps users were complaining about.

Apple and Samsung’s relationship is not exactly the best of relationships, no thanks to the flurry of lawsuits that they have thrown against one another in the recent year. In fact, there are whispers going around that the second generation iPad mini tablets that were rumored to feature Retina Display resolution will no longer rely on Samsung to deliver the touch panels, but rather, Cupertino has decided to call upon the assistance of Innolux to help them out.
Microsoft did set some pretty stringent standards for those who want to churn out tablets that run on the Windows 8 operating system, and among one of those would be a screen resolution count of 1366 x 768 pixels. Of course, the lower the common denominator, the better since costs would be lowered as well, but this was not the case, at least not until a few days ago, where the leaked build of Windows Blue actually depicted that the minimum resolution has been lowered all the way down to 1,024 x 768, which should come across as a sigh of relief for some of the fledgling tablet manufacturers.
The Blackberry Q10 has yet to be released, but it seems that Blackberry has no plans to slow things down. According to Blackberry’s CEO, Thorsten Heins, during the company’s Q4 FY2013 earnings call, he revealed that the Blackberry Q10 is currently being tested by 40 carriers in 20 countries, suggesting that when the device is released, we can expect Blackberry to cover as much ground as possible. No word on when the Q10 will see a release, but the end of April seems to be the general consensus. We expect that more traditional Blackberry customers might be more interested in the Q10 over the Z10, especially given the familiar QWERTY physical keyboard layout that seems to be a hark back to the good old days of devices like the Bold 9900 and so on. The Q10 will be running on Blackberry 10, and just like the Z10, it will 
We’re pretty sure that many a Blackberry loyalist would have jumped at the opportunity to swap out their older Blackberry device in favor of the new Blackberry Z10. At the same time we expect that there are other users from other platforms who might have liked what they’ve seen and might have jumped shipped as well, but the question is, how many? During Blackberry’s Q4 FY2013 earnings call, Blackberry CEO Thorsten Heins revealed that not only was Blackberry 10 seeing new subscribers from older Blackberry users, but they are also seeing an influx of new users coming from other platforms, a whopping 55% to be exactly.
