Like many, I have used iOS for a number of years, but every now and then, a YouTube clip or Reddit post from somebody out there with way too much time on their hands reveals a feature unbeknown to the vast majority of users. Seeing as Google offers a pretty functional calculator after a simple search for "calc," it stands to reason that the iOS Calculator app may not get as much use as it once did. But for ...

Windows 8 has a fair share of unique features, the top of the list being the new Modern UI that the multi-purpose OS for both tablets and desktop/notebook computer carries. The Modern UI wasn’t just about looks; it brought with it a whole new genre of apps that brought about a completely new look to how you’d operate on your Windows 8-based hardware. Granted, the Modern apps are more suited to the touch int ...

With a bunch of new devices from Samsung, HTC and Sony joining an already crowded smartphone market, this Spring is certainly a good time to be upgrading your handset. With so many reviews offering varied, mostly opinion-based coverage on which deserves your hard-earned cash, PhoneArena has tried to keep things objective by posting a display performance comparison of each of the industry’s most sought-after ...

Google offers an impressive array of useful apps, and one of the benefits of owning an Android device is that each Google App, or GApp, is offered right from the company’s famed Play Store. Akin to the Web and desktop versions of apps such as Drive, Keep, Maps and Translate, the mobile versions offer clean, minimalistic and uniform interfaces; but if you’re looking for something a little alternative to that ...

Google no longer supports Exchange ActiveSync protocol to sync email, contacts and calendar stored on free Gmail / Google IDs with third party apps. If you have setup Google Sync via Exchange on your iPhone before Jan 30th of this year, you wouldn’t notice any problem, until you reset the device and try to setup your account using EAS again. Also, if you try to setup Google Sync on a brand new iOS device, y ...

Taking a screenshot in iOS is easy. Apple has offered the feature since day one, and as long as you can master the simultaneous pressing of the sleep and home buttons, a screen capture will automatically be deposited into your camera roll. How is it so, then, that taking a video recording of the current screen is so much more difficult? The process tends to involve costly, time-consuming desktop software, b ...

Google surprised everyone when they announced that they’re going to end support for Exchange ActiveSync on all platforms except Android. iOS users took a big hit because many users were using the service on stock iOS apps to keep their Gmail, Google contacts and calendar data in sync with other devices. We’ve already walked you through the process on how to set up CardDAV to sync Google contacts on iPhone, ...

Ever wondered what the heads of these huge multinationals were like growing up?  We’re sure you have, mainly because we have, too. In fact, it’s the reason we were so interested to hear that new photos have appeared online of none other than the head of Apple, Tim Cook, as he worked his way through the education that saw him become one of the highest profile men in business. Hot on the heels of images that ...

There’s not much we like more than a good emulator here at Redmond Pie. There’s something about taking a modern, high specification smartphone and making it run software that was written long before anyone could ever have dreamt about such a think as an iPhone or Galaxy S. We’d call it magical, but Apple might try and take us to court over it. When we see new emulators make their way onto devices we tend to ...
