You know the feeling. You and a friend are having a conversation via text and the little bubble with the blinking dots shows up indicating that she’s typing. So much anticipation! You’d stare at those dots for hours waiting for a text, wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t it be funny if the dots just kept blinking?

It was nearly one month ago when Apple announced its iPhone 5C, which went on sale shortly after its announcement. The colorful iPhone 5C is a device people either love or could absolutely do without considering the iPhone 5S is around. We’ve seen both devices go through some torture tests in the past, but have you seen the iPhone 5C getting shot with a .50 caliber rifle? Probably not, although we’re looking to completely change that right now.

Google’s Eric Schmidt was involved in a Q&A at the Gartner Symposium, a time during which he didn’t mince words when asked about Android‘s security. Said Schmidt in response to the question, “Not secure? It’s more secure than the iPhone,” not surprisingly kicking off a series of both agreements and hasty dissension. Not deterred, Schmidt […]

It goes without saying that these days, whenever you pick up a new handset or particular mobile device, chances are there is already a ready array of protective cases at your disposal. After all, why take the risk of ruining your spanking new smartphone with a scratch simply because you do not want it to look too bulky in the first place? The folks over at Booq have come up with the Complete Protection Kit which is meant to work as it has been named, boasting modern simplicity and intelligent design so that iPhone 5c as well as iPhone 5s users will be able to keep their brand new Apple devices in tip top condition right from the get go. This is certainly the smart thing to do if you want to make sure that it has a good resale value when the iPhone 6 arrives, right?
The Booq Complete Protection Kit would offer an all-encompassing solution for their iPhone devices, where it is composed of four different parts. There is a tempered glass screen protector, an ultra-thin snap case, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and a couple of adhesive home button covers. Needless to say, the Complete Protection Kit is scratch-resistant and lightweight in nature, where protection is a snap to apply and will never peel so that this ends up as a permanent solution which would make your device looking as pristine as possible for the longest time even years down the road.
Just how is this made possible? Well, thanks to an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and polycarbonate lining, the Complete Protection Kit delivers the relevant and necessary fortification required without sacrificing on its pocket-ability. A tempered real glass, crystal clear exterior is ultra-resistant against scratches, and the two adhesive home button covers will offer protection for the iPhone 5c so that no functionality is sacrificed along the way. The Complete Protection Kit for iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s will retail for $34.95 a pop.

Japan’s NTT DOCOMO was the last of the major Japan carriers to start offering the iPhone, although they did kick that off with Apple’s new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. One of the reasons the carrier decided to sign on with Apple was because they were tired of losing subscribers to their rivals, such as KDDI and Softbank who offered the iPhone way before NTT DOCOMO did. Unfortunately it seems that despite offering the new iPhones, NTT DOCOMO is reportedly still losing subscribers to their rivals and they are blaming limited stock as the reason. According to a report from Reuters, the carrier saw a drop of 66,800 subscribers in the month of September which is a stark contrast to those of KDDI and Softbank who saw an increase in subscribers.
We’re not sure how the other two carriers are enjoying success while NTT DOCOMO isn’t. It is not news that the iPhone 5s is currently experiencing shipping delays due to its production not going as well as it should have, with some blaming the Touch ID sensor as one of the reasons why production is slow and supply is constrained. Either way or the folks at KDDI and Softbank were allocated more units, or NTT DOCOMO underestimated the demand. In any case this is not a short-term solution for the carrier and the benefits will probably show up in the long-run, but for now it does not look like they are off to a good start.
