Today several sources – and users across the USA – are reporting a bit of an annoyance in iOS 7 for their iPhones and iPads when working with apps that require log-in information. One of the most prevalent of these is Mailbox, the email app released earlier this year to iPhone and iPad for iOS […]
Oppo isn’t the only company launching a 5.9-inch smartphone today. Coolpad has just unveiled the Magview 4, which mates a similarly large display with a 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a 13-megapixel f/2.0 rear camera and an aluminum chassis. The Android 4.2 handset doesn’t offer as many built-in tricks as its Oppo counterpart, but it’s arriving alongside a trio of clever accessories. The pocketable CoolHub combines a battery with a Bluetooth speaker, a microSD card reader and NFC tag support; the CoolHub 2 extends this with environmental sensors and a pedometer. Coolpad is also launching the cWatch C1, a waterproof smartwatch with alerts for calendars, calls and messages. While the company hasn’t yet priced its add-ons, it will ship the Magview 4 to mainland China in October for ¥3,980 ($650).

We are coming out of the launch weekend for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c and while Apple has already come forward with sales numbers, it looks like that may have just been the initial launch. This launch included the big four carriers in the US market and moving forward the regional carriers are going […]
Today the folks at OPPO have revealed their next-generation smartphone “N1″ with a unique take on Android called “Color” and a set of new enhancements straight from the crew at CyanogenMod.

Apple sold nine million new iPhones in its opening weekend, the company has announced this morning, setting a new record for the iOS smartphone.

LG has unveiled one of its latest big-screen smart devices called the Vu 3. This Vu series is a rather odd line of 4:3 aspect ratio smartphones featuring big screens. The Vu 3 offers much of the same hardware and many of the same features of the LG G2. The biggest difference is the 5.2-inch […]
Considering LG’s G2 was leaked many times before it became official, we’re a little surprised that the company managed to keep the Vu 3 under wraps before today (more or less, anyway). The Korean firm’s latest Android smartphone drops the Optimus tag of its predecessor, but keeps the Vu series’ signature 4:3 aspect ratio for its 5.2-inch IPS display (1,280 x 960 resolution). Specs include a Snapdragon 800 processor, 13-megapixel camera and LTE-A radio. Aside from the stylus, translucent QuickView cases and a couple of LG software titles we recognize (like guest mode and KnockON), there’s not much else to glean from the Korean press release. If your linguistic skills (or Google Translate translation skills) are better than ours, however, the source awaits you.

Not everyone is happy with Cyanogen as a company. Guillaume Lesniak, the creator of CyanogenMod’s Focal camera app, doesn’t like that licensing changes accompanying the new venture would limit his control. Accordingly, he has just removed Focal from CyanogenMod and launched it as a standalone beta. The app includes all the features from its ROM days, including burst shooting, a panorama mode and an equivalent to Google’s Photo Sphere. While the release is a mild inconvenience for CyanogenMod users, it’s ultimately a win for anyone who wants to try Focal — they can now give the app a spin regardless of the firmware they use. If you’re curious, you can download Focal through Google Play.

Blackberry‘s on-going story is anything but boring and uneventful as the company is revealed to be developing a new line of smartphones currently being called the Blackberry 10 C-series. This supposed mix between the company’s Z and Q series could very well be added to the company’s growing list of could have been, should have […]
If you’re walking around New York City this afternoon, you may be handed a flyer by the NYC Police Department with a “Public Awareness Notice” for so-called “Apple users”. This note informs users of iPhone and iPad devices that upgrading to iOS 7 will add security features that will keep these devices from being reprogrammed […]
