A new bug found in iOS 5.0.1 may allow an unauthorized user to access your contacts, make phone calls, or use FaceTime on your passcode-protected iPhone. But stop panicking, this bug isn’t easily reproduced – it requires you to have either no service or the sim card removed. Your average snoop won’t find it worth their time.

Screens 2.0 review: The best designed, easiest to use VNC app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Screens 2.0 from Edovia lets you use your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Mac to take control of anything from your home computer to a secure server room, from the couch while you watch the big game, to poolside, half a world away, while you sip an umbrella drink. Mobile VNC (Virtual Network Computing) and RDP (Remote Desktop) is the dream every geek has had since we first saw prop tablets on TV starships, since we first heard talk of ultra-thin clients. And Screens 2.0, thanks to its design and usability, opens that dream up to a wider, more mainstream audience than ever before.

Screens 2.0 from Edovia lets you use your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Mac to take control of anything from your home computer to a secure server room, from the couch while you watch the big game, to poolside, half a world away, while you sip an umbrella drink. Mobile VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is the dream every geek has had since we first saw prop tablets on TV starships, since we first heard talk of ultra-thin clients. And Screens 2.0, thanks to its design and usability, opens that dream up to a wider, more mainstream audience than ever before.
There are many VNC apps available for iOS, and several of them are excellent. Which you ultimately prefer will come down to personal tastes and requirements. Do you want your finger to move the screen, or move the mouse cursor on the screen? Do you want something that stands alone, or is tied to a subscription service, perhaps one your company or enterprise uses? Do you want something specifically designed for iOS, easy to set up and intuitive to use, or something incredibly bare-bones and expert-user focused?
Screens is a universal binary for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and a separate app for Mac
Screens 2.0 makes deliberate, Apple-style choices. It’s gorgeously designed, intuitive to use, and as consistent with iOS and OS X standards as can be. If you’re coming from an enterprise environment where you’re used to using a specific, point-and-click based PC tool, Screens can take some getting used to at first. If you’ve never used VNC before, Screens makes it incredibly accessible.
When you first launch Screens, or any time to tap Help in the Settings menu, you get all the information you need to get going with VNC.
Screens setup is ridiculously easy. If you’re not already familiar with the basics, Screens give you a quick how-to on startup, including connecting to Mac, Linux, and Windows, using Screens Connect on Mac and Windows (more on that later), and using the Screens app itself, including gestures, Siri dictation, the pasteboard, and more.
Screens will automatically detect and help set up any computers on the local network, but also allows IP connections and SSH tunneling for experts.
To add a screen (remote computer view), just tap the button at the top left. Screens will automatically detect nearby and remote computers on your network. For most users, when on their home or work network, this is the fastest, easier way to get up and running. Just tap the tab, tap the name of your computer, and Screens will populate most of the general connection info for you.
Screens options include scrolling type, color depth, and custom gestures for everything from Mission Control to CTRL-ALT-DEL
You still have to enter your own username and password, either your Mac user account, or VNC account. If you’re a more advanced, or security conscious user, you can also add machines via IP address or Hostname, enable SSH tunneling, toggle color-depth, and create custom gestures.
Your available screens (machines) are beautifully rendered — even with multiple display configurations — and available at any time with a swipe and a tap.
Once you have a screen set up, you’ll see it available on the Screens desktop. On the iPad you can switch to a grid view to easily re-oder them as well.
Tap a screen to launch it. If you haven’t saved or recently entered your password, you’ll be asked to enter it for security. Then your screen will open up. It’s literally that simple to get remote access to your desktop or laptop from your iPhone or iPad (or other Mac, if you’re using the Mac version.)
Once in your screen, swiping with your finger moves the screen around (not the cursor, as it does in some other VNC apps), and two-finger swipes scrolls the content within the active window (for example, scrolls through a document or web page). You can pinch to zoom, and touch-and-hold one finger to drag a window around or drag and drop an icon or highlighted text. Responsiveness for panning and zooming is remarkably fast and fluid. Scrolling within a window is a little slower.
A single tap is equivalent to positioning the mouse curser and clicking. A double tap is a double click, a two-finger touch-and-hold is a right mouse click (or ctrl-mouse click). These can be a little trickier to accurately pull off, especially on the physically smaller iPhone display, so you’ll want to make sure you’re as zoomed in a possible first.
If you’re connecting to a Mac, three finger swipes default to changing Spaces or launching Mission Control. Other Mac options include launching Spotlight, showing Dashboard, etc. Windows options include Open Start Menu, CTRL-ALT-DELETE, etc. Four finger swipes are currently used for for system-wide multitasking gestures on iPad, but if you disable them in Settings, you can reassign them for specific Screens actions as well.
Screens can display your computer in portrait and landscape orientations, and has regular and special function keyboards.
Screens 2.0 for iOS has a great new unified toolbar. Escape, tab, shift, control, alt/option, and command/Windows keys, as well as arrow keys, the Action button, and a special purpose as well as default keyboard are all accessible along the bottom of the screen. The standard keyboard is just what you’re expect, and the second, special purpose keyboard lets you quickly minimize, close or quit an app, undo, redo, or send to pasteboard, copy, paste, or cut, and similar, as well as offering function keys F1 through F12.
On the [iPhone 4S](http://www.imore.com/iphone-4s], Screens’ default keyboard includes Siri dictation for easy voice-to-text entry.
The keyboard doesn’t automatically appear when you tap into an editable area of the screen; you have to open it manually. That’s typically been my experience with other VNC apps as well, and I can see the reasoning behind it, but it feels a little un-iOS-like.
The Action button lets you quickly disconnect, snap a screen shot, or access help and settings.
Closing a screen is as simple as tapping the Action button and hitting Disconnect. You can also use the Action button to quickly take a screenshot (of just the desktop, not the entire display the way a built-in iOS screenshot would) and quickly access Settings and Help.
Overall, the iPad feels like it was made with a VNC app like Screens in mind. The large 9.7-inch display just works so well. The iPhone and iPod touch can feel a little cramped at 3.5-inches but the density of the Retina display mitigates that a lot. And yes, Screens 2.0 just screams for a Retina iPad 3.
Screens 2.0 for Mac is every bit as easy to setup and even easier to use, since you’re driving a windows-mouse-pointer interface with a windows-mouse-pointer interface, and don’t have to worry about mapping multitouch gestures to point and clicks the way you do with iOS. If you’re familiar with Apple’s own Back to my Mac service, it’s almost as elegant (just not built into the system), but it works with Windows and Linux machines as well, not just OS X.
Screens Connect lets you easily, almost effortlessly open a VNC session to your computer while on a different network
Completing the picture is Screens Connect, which lets you open a screen into your home or work computer while away from home or the office, on a different network. After setting up a free Screens Connect account via Edovia’s website, you download Mac or Windows clients and install them on your local machines. They keep track of your machine’s IP address, so you can always find that computer remotely, over the internet. Because most of us don’t have static IP addresses, a service like Screens Connect is really a must-have for remote connections.
On a final, fun note, with AirPlay mirroring you can even beam your screens via Apple TV your big screen HDTV, which is great for conference room demos.
With iCloud integration, SSH keys, and a re-designed Screens Connect, Screens 2.0 handles remote computing better and faster than ever before. While other VNC clients have some advantages, such as more precise mouse placement, or integration with popular subscription RDP solutions, Screens is the most iPhone, iPad, and Mac-like remote computing app on the market today. It’s the easiest to setup and the most familiar to use. That makes it a great VNC app for anyone just getting started with remote computing, or anyone who wants something with a great user experience that “just works”. If you’re a pro or a network admin, you might cycle between several different VNC apps depending on the situation. Screens 2.0 will almost certainly become one of them.
Screens 2.0 requires iOS 5 on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and OS 10.7 Lion on Mac. It’s is available now, and is a free update for existing users.
Special thanks to our resident networking wizard, Anthony Gabriel, for his assistance with the testing.

We’ve seen a number of supposed iPad 3 parts recently, and this latest one shows the front glass and digitizer assembly with the layout remaining largely the same as that of the iPad 2, with no changes to the Home button, front-facing camera position or ambient light sensor arrangement. If the pictures, which come by way of Sina Weibo, are accurate, the only recognizable change is the ribbon cable on the side of the glass, which extends roughly half-way up the device as opposed to the iPad 2 which has a shorter cable with a sideways orientation.

As far as Tetris goes, most variations look quite similar. You’re usually looking at a “wall” of bricks directly from the front. Torus takes that notion and throws it away; as you might have guessed from the name (or screenshot), this Tetris clone is played on a ring-like 3D surface.
You rotate the ring itself with the arrow keys, while a Tetris-like piece slowly (excruciatingly slowly, in fact) descends from the top. As soon as you make a solid line, it disappears.
Not all pieces are Tetris-like; some of them wouldn’t really work with a regular Tetris game but are a good fit for Torus’ 3D format.
Torus is ideal for playing at the office, because it has absolutely no soundtrack. The game is dead-quiet. It’s also very very slow (slow enough for me to mention it twice in one post) so you can safely look away for a moment and then keep playing. Also, as soon as the game loses focus, it automatically pauses.
Bottom line: It’s an impressive demo of the power of HTML5; if it were a bit faster, it would have some serious addictive potential.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on this tasty little computer, you’ll know it’s a pretty exciting concept already. To further sweeten the deal, it just got its own version of Fedora. A special “remix” edition has been ported over to the micro-machine by a team at Seneca College. Although there’s already a Debian release for the diminutive device, the project’s official blog states that Fedora Remix is the distribution it’ll be recommending to users. The OS image fits on a 2GB memory card, and comes complete with a GUI, programming and system administration tools, web browser and other essential apps to get you going. If you want to see the Pi in action, there’s a video after the break demonstrating the OS, along with a look at that user interface. As for that February 20th release date, sadly that seems less reliable.

What the Atrix 4G first promised, it looks like the folks at Canonical may deliver. Think back to CES 2011, when Motorola showed us a future where our phone was the only computing device we would need — only to leave us wanting when its webtop app didn’t deliver the requisite functionality for such a future. Well, it turns out Ubuntu now runs on multi-core Android devices and your handset can grant a full desktop experience when docked with a display and a keyboard. It’s a customized version of Ubuntu that plays nice with Android, the two OS’s sharing data and services while running simultaneously. So, you can still access telephony and texts from the Ubuntu environment while enjoying all the computing capabilities it has to offer, including: Ubuntu TV, virtualization tools for running Windows applications, desktop web browsers, and Ubuntu apps built for ARM. It isn’t clear exactly what hardware you’ll need to run Ubuntu on a handset, but Canonical has said it works on multi-core devices with HDMI and USB connections. We’ll get more info next week when it’s shown off at MWC, but until then you’ll have to settle for the source below and PR after the break.
Update: Have a look at the slick integration in a video we’ve embedded after the break.

We have covered how you can export your text messages on iPhone to CSV and keep it on computer. So how do you export the SMS as a PDF file? Here we will show you two ways to do it.
Recently an iPhone developer has put up a cydia app called Messages2PDF that allows you to export your text messages to a PDF file.
The app is very simple. Once installed, you can launch it from your iPhone’s home screen. The app reads all the text messages from the Messages app and displays them in a list. You simply select the text messages you want to export and follow the procedures to export them as a PDF file. After the PDF file is generated, you can send it to your email account via its built-in mail function.
Messages2PDF is available through cydia for $1.49. You need to have a jailbroken iPhone to install the app. For procedures, you can check out our step-by-step jailbreak guide for iPhone.
Developed by Ecamm Network, PhoneView is an alternative solution for exporting SMS to PDF files. PhoneView is a backup tool for iPhone that allows you to backup different kinds of data such as call log, contacts, notes on iPhone. Apparently it also lets you save SMS as a PDF file.
PhoneView offers a simple and intuitive interface. After you connect your iPhone to computer, you can click on Messages and the application automatically reads all your text messages on iPhone. It may take some time to read your text messages. Just wait for a couple of minutes and PhoneView displays your text messages in the form of conversation. To save the messages as PDF, click “File” and select “Save as PDF…”.
From my test, PhoneView works as advertised and it’s a comprehensive backup tool for iPhone. However, the tool is not free and costs $19.95. The company provides a demo version of the software, which is available for free download. If you’re interested in it, you can download the demo version to test it out.

Pastebin is a very popular website aimed at coders and other nerdy types, which allows them (or should I say, us) to paste and share snippets of code with lovely syntax highlighting.
It has recently undergone a major overhaul which includes the release of a brand new Windows client. The new client lets you create new “pastes” and manage your existing ones. It joins a host of other tools from Pastebin, such as the Google and Chrome extensions, OS X widget and the mobile apps.
If you’re currently using Pastebin, the new client is a great addition. And if you haven’t tried it before, next time you have a piece of code you want to share or get some feedback on, you could do worse than try out Pastebin.
[Thanks, Jeroen!]

Transistors — the basic building block of the complex electronic devices around you. Literally billions of them make up that Core i7 in your gaming rig and Moore’s law says that number will double every 18 months as they get smaller and smaller. Researchers at the University of New South Wales may have found the limit of this basic computational rule however, by creating the world’s first single atom transistor. A single phosphorus atom was placed into a silicon lattice and read with a pair of extremely tiny silicon leads that allowed them to observe both its transistor behavior and its quantum state. Presumably this spells the end of the road for Moore’s Law, as it would seem all but impossible to shrink transistors any farther. But, it could also points to a future featuring miniaturized solid-state quantum computers.

Dropbox offers a lovely client for Android, but it’s lacking true “sync” functionality. You can merely browse your Dropbox, pull files into the device, and manually upload specific files.
DropSpace is a little Android app that makes Dropbox on Android work like Dropbox – that is, you get real folder synchronization in the background.
When you run the app you’re prompted for your Dropbox credentials. After logging in to Dropbox, you get to select which device folders you’d like to sync to the cloud. It’s a straightforward mapping process: You select a folder on the device, and then specify where in Dropbox it should go.
The interface is rather clunky, at least for now. The biggest annoyance is that you can’t edit your “sync list”: if you add a folder and then wish to remove it, you must delete the entire list of folders and start over.
In terms of functionality, it works quite well. I tested it with the camera folder, and it was nice to be able to take my photos using the lean default Camera app and have them sync up to the cloud instantly.

Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner review: Fastest, easiest way to track food points on your iPhone
If you’re a Weight Watchers subscriber using Weight Watchers Mobile for iPhone, Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner is a great companion app for quickly calculating points values. Manually typing in fat, carbs, fiber, and protein can be a daunting task especially when grocery shopping. The barcode scanner app makes the task super simple and easier than ever, and is a great way to avoid impulse junk food purchases.

If you’re a Weight Watchers subscriber using Weight Watchers Mobile for iPhone, Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner is a great companion app for quickly calculating points values. Manually typing in fat, carbs, fiber, and protein can be a daunting task especially when grocery shopping. The barcode scanner app makes the task super simple and easier than ever, and is a great way to avoid impulse junk food purchases.
The biggest hurdle I’ve had to face since starting back up with Weight Watchers is grocery shopping. I’ve stuck with buying healthy foods but it can be a task to manually enter in the contents in order to decide whether or not a food I want is a healthy decision.
Once you've sign in you can start scanning and managing foods and point values quickly and easily
The Weight Watches Barcode Scanner helps cut the time I spend looking for healthy foods in half while shopping. If you’ve used any type of QR code scanner on your iPhone you’ll be right at home.
The first time you launch the app you’ll be asked to sign into your Weight Watchers account. (You can choose for it to remember you in the Settings tab). Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner will load the scanner by default on launch. Then all you do is simply align a bar code and it scans away. It’ll read it and tell you the PointsPlus value for a single serving. If it can’t find an item, it’ll allow you to manually enter in carbs, fat, fiber, and protein into the points calculator.
Quickly scan an item to see the PointsPlus value in seconds. If the app can't find a value, it'll allow you to manually enter nutrition information.
If the app doesn’t know the serving size it will simply say unknown. I’ve found most of the time that it calculates a points value but says unknown serving size, it’s on items that are off-brand or measured in cups. You’ll just need to follow the serving size on the box. If you can’t get a good view of the bar code with the scanner, you can also choose to enter it in manually.
Quickly add scanned items directly to your favorites or tracker in a few quick taps. No need to jump into another application.
Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner will also keep track of all the foods you’ve scanned under the Lists tab. Not only can you view the items you’ve added, you can add them to your favorites or your tracker directly from the application. Since Weight Watchers stores all your information online, you’ll see the information added to your tracker via Weight Watchers Mobile as well next time you launch it.
There are a few apps in the app store that spit out Weight Watchers point values. I’ve found this one to be the best simply because it ties directly into your online tracker and integrates nicely as a companion app to the full Weight Watchers Mobile app. I don’t have to jump out of whatever I’m using to scan bar codes and into Weight Watchers mobile and re-enter information. I just add the item I want directly to my tracker from Barcode Scanner and it’s already there.
If you’re looking for an easier way to find PointsPlus values than typing in numbers each time, BWeight Watchers Barcode Scanner is exactly what you’re looking for and a great companion app to Weight Watchers Mobile for iPhone. While there are competitors out there, they just can’t provide the tight integration into the Weight Watchers system that the official app can.
The fact that I can add things directly to my tracker and favorite items while I shop without jumping into multiple other apps makes it a hands down winner.
If Weight Watchers is your diet plan of choice, let us know your experiences in our Health and Fitness Forum and check out what the rest of our staff is picking to get healthier during Mobile Nations Fitness Month.
Weight Watchers Barcode Scanner is free to download but you’ll need a Weight Watchers subscription in order to log in and start using it.

Angry Birds Heading To Space

Get ready for more ‘Angry Birds’. That’s right people; you heard what I just said. The war between the green pigs and the little colorful birds isn’t over yet. Heck, the war has gotten bigger! Rovio, the developer of the massively successful franchise has just revealed that the next chapter of ‘Angry Birds’ will take place in space.
As mentioned above, Angry Birds will be heading to space in the next installment of the game. A March 22nd release date has also been revealed, and a teaser site for the game has also been launched, and you can check out a 20-second trailer along with an image, there as well. The image is quite interesting as it shows the moon, the Earth and a slingshot and gives a feel of what the games going to be like. According to Rovio, they are very excited about the launch of the game and according to him; ‘Angry Birds Space’ will be the biggest launch since the original ‘Angry Birds’, and it will be a completely new game with innovative gameplay but will have some familiar features that were present in the original. Below you can look at the teaser trailer that has been released:
Some people aren’t very happy about the fact that the game has taken a whole new turn. According to them, if the game is in space that would mean that there won’t be any gravity and thus, the trajectories won’t be necessary in the game, and the birds might even float around when they are shot from the sling. The point still remains that it’s a game which is meant to provide entertainment, and we should wait for its release before we can pass any judgements.
According to reports, Angry Birds has been downloaded more than 500 million times and whether this new installment is going to help in the sales or not, we will just have to wait and see. Leave your thoughts if you think ‘Angry Birds Space’ will be a good game or not!

A while back, we told you about AVG’s new LiveKive service, a new cloud synchronization and backup tool which appears to have been named after a vat in which mash is made during the brewing process. But enough about AVG’s odd choice of monikers — LiveKive has launched and is now ready to accept your files into the AVG cloud.
LiveKive takes aim at services like Dropbox and SugarSync, though at the moment it’s lagging behind in terms of features. As it stands, LiveKive is only compatible with Windows and OS X. There are no mobile clients yet, though with AVG’s strong presence on Android we wouldn’t be surprised to see an app arrive in the near future.
The company is offering a heck of a deal right now, however. If you sign up for a paid account during the launch phase, you can score unlimited storage for $80 for a whole year. You can’t even score 50GB per year at that price from Dropbox, so if cost and space are more important to you than cross-platform availability, LiveKive might be worth checking out.
If you’re not interested in ponying up any cash at the moment, you can still get a 5GB account free of charge. Just head on over, and create a LiveKive account.

Moments ago, Mozilla stripped the release candidate moniker from Firefox 4 Mobile and pronounced it fit for public release. If you have a Nokia N900 phone, or a fairly-modern Android 2.0-or-later device, go ahead and install it from the Market, by using scanning the QR code after the break, or by visiting Firefox.com/m.
Accompanying the release is the launch of Spark, a cute social game that’s designed to fuel the adoption of Firefox 4 Mobile, much like last week’s use of Glow and Twitter Party during Firefox 4 PC’s release.
While the browser still feels a little rough around the edges, it’s definitely worth trying out if you’re still using Android’s stock browser. Its JavaScript performance is significantly better than any other Android browser, and if you use Firefox on your PC, its built-in Sync functionality is awesome.
Over the next few days we’ll have plenty of tips and tricks for Firefox 4 Mobile, and a list of the best add-ons available for the new browser.

Confession: I’m not a big Star Wars fan. I know it’s against nerd culture and geekdom to admit such a thing but hey, here I am, in the flesh, an unabashed Star Wars non-lover. Sure I thought the movies were enjoyable but I only watched them once *gasp*. But even without loving the movies, you just pick up on things because EVERYBODY ELSE on this planet loves Star Wars. One thing I didn’t pick up on was that Yoda was not some sort of uberfrog. Why not? He’s green! And froggish! And that’s why this Star Wars Science Dagobah Frog Habitat for $14 would have been so funny. Because get it? A real frog in fake Yoda’s home planet! Whatever.

Firefox is a powerful web browser that has been loved by many web surfers in recent years. This could mainly be because of the fact that Mozilla Firefox has been a much better alternative to the now virtually obsolete Internet Explorer. Moreover, Firefox enables users to use amazing add-ons that makes internet browsing easier and more enjoyable. In recent times, many people have begun browsing the web through iPads.

It sure has been a long time coming for our brothers over in the BlackBerry camp, but today is a day to remember. PlayBook OS 2.0 has finally been released, bringing with it access to Android applications through the Android Runtime.
Many have been tinkering for some time now with the Developer Beta of 2.0 and porting apps to try out on the device. But as of today, any Android apps that were repackaged and submitted to BlackBerry App World will be available to everyone.
We won't boast too hard about how great they're all going to be and that everyone will enjoy all of them — that wouldn't be fair, a lot of them will probably suck. But with the level of interest seen at the recent Devcon Europe, it might not work out too badly.
There has been at least one big name Android developer who has ported over for launch though. Automattic who produce WordPress for Android have relaunched the same app as WordPress for Playbook. It also looks like the built in keyboard is BlackBerry's very own version of the Android third-party keyboard, Swiftkey. Pretty sweet.
A little easter egg too for any of you out there that are running a BlackBerry smartphone and an Android Tablet. Our very own Chris Parsons has been doing some investigating, and it seems that with version 2.0 of the BlackBerry Bridge application it's not just PlayBooks that can be remote controlled. Because it utilises the Bluetooth HID standard, Bridge can be used with all sorts of devices like a PS3, and even Chris' Motorola Xoom. Hit the link below to check out that video.
It just leaves us to say — welcome to the family, sort of. It's been a long road to OS 2.0 that's for sure. We hope that Android developers will really get on board and show you some of the great quality applications that we're used to in this part of the Mobile Nations. For full coverage keep it locked to our sister site Crackberry.com.

For far more than a year now, a semi-secretive series has graced the pixels of a Tumblr blog as well as the pages of Esquire magazine. Dubbed "Me in My Place," the series was shot by "a notable photographer, who has shot portraits of many notable people," said Esquire. The man behind the camera wasn't the point, after all. (He's since been unmasked, but we're going to make you work for it, too.) It was the subjects — the various girls next door, Manhattan (and later L.A.) style — who made the series at hit. The tag line: "Real girls in their own place. Not too crazy and just a pinch of naughty…"
Yes, the portraits are what they are — probably not-safe-for-work photos of "real" women in their homes, comfortable in various stages of undress. The pics are sexy and a bit raw, and that's the appeal. Not too crazy and just a pinch of naughty.
Esquire magazine got involved, the odd actress made appearance and things, erm, took off from there. An app was promised. And now, an app has arrived.

If you’ve ever used a cell phone while moving, then you’ve probably experienced the depressed network connectivity that becomes more of an issue as you move further away from any given tower. Some of us are even unfortunate enough to reside or work right at the edge of a cell, forced to live with poor connectivity for much of every day. A new feature called HSPA+ Multiflow may offer some relief, “delivering double the data speed and up to 50 percent faster response compared to existing HSPA+ networks,” according to Nokia Siemens, which will be demonstrating the technology at Mobile World Congress later this month. Essentially, Multiflow allows compatible devices on the edge of a cell to connect to two sites simultaneously, letting your device send and receive data between two base stations at once. Multiflow will be available as a software update for Single RAN systems, so it could make its way to a cell site near you just after Nokia Siemens flips the switch during the second half of 2013. Full PR is just past the break.

Leaked promo videos reveal more of Sony’s new ‘UXP NXT’
As we approach the launch of the Sony Xperia S, we're starting to see more details of how Sony has refined its software experience for its new flagship product. Two videos leaked today over on XperiaBlog show that much of the user interface — dubbed UXP NXT — has been given a lick of paint. The gallery, music player and TimeScape features in particular being dramatically changed, with plenty of animations and 3D effects throughout. Underneath all the visual finery, though, the Xperia S still runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, although an ICS update is expected shortly after launch.
The Xperia S is due to launch in Europe from early March. In the U.S., AT&T will carry the Xperia Ion, a device closely based on the Xperia S, but with a larger 4.7-inch display.
We're expecting to see more of the Xperia S, along with rumored devices including the Xperia P and Xperia U, at Sony's Mobile World Congress press conference in just under a week.
We've got both videos after the break.

A lot of iPad applications now enable users to engage in online audio and video conversations. Of course, the iPad contains a built-in mic and speaker system to be used in such conversations. However, using an iPad Bluetooth Headset is still preferred by many because it gives a relatively clearer sound and more focused mic as compared to the built-in sound devices.

GNOME 3, after more than two years of development, has been released into the wild. GNOME 3 is not merely the logical successor of GNOME 2: it is an entirely new project, started from scratch, to create a “completely new, modern desktop designed for today’s users and technologies.”
The best way to check out GNOME 3′s new features — and it has lots of new features — is to run a live version of openSUSE or Fedora, or simply head over to the GNOME 3 website and watch the (rather pretty) introductory videos. If you want a synopsis, though, here it is: GNOME 3 looks a lot like Mac OS X, with a healthy dollop of iOSesqueness for good measure, but yet it still somehow retains an underlying feel of Linux.
The overall aesthetic is very simple, very elegant, and despite being slightly out of fashion, there are plenty of rounded corners, too. The main addition, workflow-wise, is the addition of an app-launcher-cum-alt-tab screen, where you can launch apps, or flip through your open windows. For a complete list of the new features and changes, check the GNOME 3 release notes.
Despite GNOME 3 being officially launched, there aren’t actually any releases for existing, stable Linux distros — it’s the live CD/USB images, or Ubuntu users will have to wait for the launch of 11.04 for a GNOME 3 PPA, but it will break Unity in the process. Fedora users will have to wait for for the May 24 release of Fedora 15. Of course, if you’re feeling crazy, you can always build GNOME 3 from source.

Update: Tech From 10 seems to be offline — but we have lots of images and a hands-on review if you want to see what the new Music app is like.
In what is probably a bit of a big-G whoopsie, the folks at Tech From 10 woke up to find a new, test version of Android Market installed on their Galaxy S.
Visually, the new version is almost identical. The carousel of featured apps has been updated slightly, and apps now have a ‘Content rating,’ but that’s it (image after the break). The interesting bit, however, is the inclusion of alpha and beta apps — most notably, there’s a new version of the Music app, which looks like a scaled-down version of the Android 3.0 Honeycomb Music app (see right).
Also available from the test Android Market is ‘Google Gallery 3D New 10.2′, ‘Google – Camera v12′ and ‘Google Desk Clock 10′ — but, curiously, all of the apps refused to launch on Tech From 10′s Galaxy S (Vibrant) smartphone. Are they Honeycomb apps? Or, more likely, are they destined for the next Android smartphone OS, Ice Cream?
If you want to try out the new Honeycombish Music app, Tech From 10 has made the APK available for download. You can also download the three Google apps, if you want to have a poke around.

Apple Is Planning Big For The iPad 3

The folks over at 9to5mac have published a report in which they inform about a post over on ilab.cc which has images of iPad 3’s leaked components such as LCD panel, dock connector and a back plate.
The post says that the back panel will be comparatively thicker almost 1mm, which will accommodate new components and will come with a battery that is bigger in size to display more pixels and a dual LED backlit system. Other than these features, back panel will be the same as that of the iPad2. If we talk about 2,048-by-1, 536-pixel resolution display allegedly manufactured by Sharp, it complements it perfectly.
It was also mentioned that the back panel fits the iPad3 perfectly because the screw holes on the back plate are in the right places making that perfect fit possible. Due to this, the author is so sure that the Retina Display LCD panel of Sharp is designed for the leaked iPad 3 chassis, and another indication is the way the cable of LCD’s panel folds and connects to the base. In the product cover the iPad3 dock connector also fits. On top of it, the camera hole in the iPad3 case looks same as iPad2 when seen from outside. The diameter of the outside hole is 7mm as compared to the inside hole which is almost similar to the iPad 3. From the inside, there are design differences noted which indicated a change in the camera system which might be similar to the iPhone 4S.
This indicates that the camera lens and sensor are upgraded on iPad3 which is not a surprise given the low quality of the camera on iPad 2. Upgrading both the cameras is a clever idea from future perspective as the Retina Display of iPad 3 is of 3-megapixels.
These are just the leaks of the iPad 3! One can’t say surely what the actual tablet would turn out to be. These leaked parts could easily turn out to be prototypes so don’t read too much into them.
Another report form ChinaTimes informs that Apple has ordered 65 million 264PPI Retina displays from Samsung and LG. Whether this number includes order from Sharp is unclear. However, the production has reportedly begun.
9to5Mac informed that Apple ordered 40 million displays for the iPad 2 for comparison and indicates a substantial 60-70% increase over iPad 2. If this is true, Apple is going for the big thing with the iPad 3. iPad 2 sold over 15.4 million in the holiday quarter. With the Retina display coming in the iPad 3, previous sales records wouldn’t be hard to break. Emerging markets like China could compliment the sales.
For comparison, Apple ordered 40 million displays for the iPad 2. Today’s report indicates a substantial 60-70% increase over iPad 2. If these reports are true, Apple is thinking big for their new tablet.
Also the expected date of the announcement is during the first week of March, with 7th March the likely that. The shipping would start shortly afterwards. Apple is introducing a 10 inch Retina display which is bad news for Samsung, MotoGoogle and the 7-inch Kindle Fire.
Can’t wait for March! Your thoughts?

While we get ready for MWC to begin Samsung is apparently next to reveal a few new handsets, as it just posted the details for its new Galaxy Ace 2 (left) and Galaxy mini 2 (right). Like their earlier incarnations, the Ace 2 has the best specs of the two, with a dual-core 800MHz processor, HSDPA 14.4 connectivity, GPS/GLONASS, 1,500mAh battery and 4GB of internal storage hiding behind its 3.8-inch WVGA screen. The mini 2 has HSDPA 7.2Mbps connectivity, an 800MHz CPU, 1,300mAh battery and 3.27-inch HVGA screen. Both will ship with Android 2.3 this spring, with the Ace 2 hitting the UK in April and mini 2 coming to France in March before beginning a global rollout. Check after the break for the press release with full specs.

Mozilla, continuing its year-long crusade to speed up Firefox startup and shutdown times, has published a name and shame list of the Firefox’s slowest add-ons.
The list is just one part of Mozilla’s new efforts to highlight slow add-ons, and to help developers make their add-ons more efficient. Over the next two weeks, ‘slow performance warnings’ will be introduced in the add-on gallery so that users can see, before installation, which add-ons will slow down their browser. If that isn’t enough to spur developers into cleaning up their add-ons, Mozilla has also begun reaching out to developers of slow add-ons with tips on how to improve add-on performance. Finally, add-on developers will soon have the ability to perform ‘on-demand performance testing,’ so that they can test their add-on before it’s deployed publicly.
Mozilla reports that the average Firefox add-on slows down Firefox’s start-up time by 10% — which means, if you install 10 add-ons, you will double your start-up time. On fast desktop PCs that kind of slowdown might be negligible, but on older computers, laptops and smartphones, it could be the difference between a 5 and 10 second startup. Mozilla has obviously realized that while massive performance gains might’ve been made with Firefox 4, the addition of third-party add-ons can destroy any user-perceived improvements.
In other news, Mozilla says that a future build of Firefox will block the installation of add-ons (such as toolbars) by third-party software. Add-ons and toolbars that are bundled in this way will require explicit approval when you next open up Firefox. Hooray!

Prada phone by LG 3.0 launches on T-Mobile UK
It's been available off-contract for a while, but now T-Mobile UK has launched the awkwardly-named Prada phone by LG 3.0 at subsidized prices. The Prada phone, which we first saw at its launch party in late December, features mid to high-end LG internals and a Prada-designed chassis and user interface.
Tmo UK is offering the phone for free on its 24-month, £36-per-month "Full Monty" contract, which includes unlimited texts, unlimited data and 2000 minutes. If you want to spend a little less, it's also available on a number of £31-per-month deals with unlimited texts, data allowances between 100 and 1500MB, and 300-900 minutes.

Looks like ZTE couldn’t hold its horses until MWC. It’s just unveiled product names and key specs (but alas no product photos) for two Android 4.0 thoroughbreds that’ll be shown off in Barcelona. The first and more interesting is the PF200, which the press release suggests will house an unidentified “1.2GHz chipset,” along with a 4.3-inch qHD display, eight-megapixel rear camera and 1080p (i.e. two-megapixel) front-facer. The handset will support LTE, UMTS and GSM and come with the usual range of sensors and connectivity, as well as DLNA, mobile high-definition link (MHL) and NFC. Meanwhile, the N910 comes with LTE FDD, CDMA and EVDO support, a 800 x 480 resolution, five-megapixel camera, 1080p front-facer and a 1.5GHz processor. There are no prices or release dates, but these phones are claimed to be mere “fore-runners of a wide range of LTE devices ZTE will bring to the market in the coming months.” At least one of those as to be Tegra 3, right? Full PR after the break.
Update: Now with product shots: the PF200 above, and the N910 after the break. Thanks, Xiong Jiao!

Without a doubt, the purveyance of personal electronics has changed our lives — not only have they put oodles of information at our fingertips, but they’ve also made pushing fully-clothed friends into the pool a warranty-voiding social faux pas. If you do get dunked, however, Apple wants to make sure you aren’t going to blame your phone’s apparent water damage on one of the (potentially faulty) detection stickers in use today, rather than your own perilous plunge. A new patent application uncovered by AppleInsider imagines an iDevice that detects water damage using a sensor covered in water soluble conductive glue that, when dissolved, allows the sensor to detect its absence and log damage. The patent outlines several different setups using one or more sensors, and hopes to provide a more reliable indicator of water damage than today’s methods. Of course, you wouldn’t have to worry about that if you were insured, would you?

I have a thing for full-screen text editing. I use WriteMonkey for my creative writing needs, and VIM in a full-screen PuTTY session for my Web development work. That being the case, I’m all over the monospace, dark-background, focused editing scene.
OmmWriter attempts to take that aesthetic and make it somehow more spiritual, with three picturesque backgrounds and ambient background audio tracks (there are seven of each in the paid version).
I’m of two minds about this app. On the one hand, yes, it’s beautiful. But if you want music as a background to your writing, why not pick your own soundtrack with Winamp or Foobar2000 running in the background?
OmmWriter also offers three keyboard-clicking sounds, which are kind of nice. None of these features are groundbreaking, really. OmmWriter could be seen as a way to gently ease into the world of distraction-free writing — in case something like WriteMonkey’s dark background is just too oppressive for you.
After the fold you can see a video showcasing several of OmmWriter’s features and creative soundscapes.

Rather surprisingly, it turns out that Mozilla’s numbers could be significantly wrong — and if they’re not wrong, the factors that Mozilla uses to tabulate an add-ons final score should definitely be made more transparent.
In the first set of tests, Palant shows that FlashGot’s position in the top 10 is probably due to a fault in Mozilla’s testing setup, and that add-ons can perform very differently depending on which operating system they’re being tested on. In the second analysis, Palant uncovers an irregularity that doesn’t seem to have an obvious cause — but it could be due to an I/O bottleneck on Mozilla’s test machines. Basically, even though performance testing of Read It Later is disabled because of a bug, it still (somehow!) manages to record a 14% slow-down on Windows 7.
Palant concludes both analyses by scolding Mozilla for going public with the performance data before its testing methods had been confirmed accurate. It definitely looks like Mozilla has been more than a little reckless, considering the importance of Firefox’s add-on ecosystem.

iPad Waterproof Case – The Best For All Weather
When you’re rushing out of the door you don’t always think about your technology and how the weather is going to play a roll in what you’re doing.

When you’re rushing out of the door you don’t always think about your technology and how the weather is going to play a roll in what you’re doing. If you live in certain areas where rain can happen out of the blue, you will not be able to use your tablet as fast as you would in other areas. It’s interesting to see how much weather can impact your daily routine, and when it’s cascading rain you’re going to find that a good iPad waterproof case is just what you need to get productive no matter where you are.
A waterproof case is not what everyone needs, but for those that are running between offices, and have to run and gun their way into meetings, and make notes, type documents and so much more, a good waterproof case will save the day each time. There are a lot of different options that you can choose from when it comes to cases, and only you would know what your overall needs are. If your needs involve going through different weather types, even early mornings when deep fog can cause condensation on your tablet, you’ll want a waterproof peripheral to add to your gadget. When searching through the options, consider the following well reviewed items.
• Aquapac Waterproof Case
• TrendyDigital WaterGuard Waterproof Case
The above are just two quick options that you can invest in, and is something that you’ll enjoy for the present and future of your business or personal dealings with the number one tablet on the market. The Apple iPad can go with you anywhere, if you simply invest in a proper iPad waterproof case.
While individually cheap, the cost of your streaming subscriptions can pile up. If you’re feeling the pinch, check out Splitflix. The new service facilitates splitting the cost of your Netflix and Hulu subscriptions with another person. Awesome, as long as it lasts. More »

I have a thing for physics games, and I’ve been known to post the occasional platformer or action game here and there. But Let it Slide is one of the brainiest games I’ve posted to date.
The idea is very simple, and far from original: You get a board with pieces arranged in a particular pattern; you have to slide those around until you get the special piece into its target location.
It’s not even about finding out where the target location is – you can just hover over “dim tiles” and instantly see where you’re supposed to bring the special piece. But getting it there is a whole different story.
There are five tutorial levels, which I strongly recommend you do. Then there are twenty “beginner” levels, but that’s really a misnomer. If those are the beginner levels, I don’t want to know what the intermediate and advanced levels look like!
Every time you finish a level you get a score based on how many clicks it took you – each level has a “par” (the minimum number of clicks it could be completed in), and your performance is compared to that gold standard. Because it’s such a brainy game, getting it right is quite satisfying. I was downright proud of myself when I managed to finish a few levels. All in all, quite recommended, especially if you’ve got a few minutes of quiet. It might actually help you focus better later on.

Groundbreaking green architecture burst into life in Sweden this week as Inhabitat reported that Plantagon began construction on the world’s first ‘Plantscraper’ vertical farm. We also marveled at artist Yayoi Kusama’s dazzling Infinity Mirror Room, which shines with the reflections of thousands of LEDs, and we shared the bubbly modular AMPS living wall system. Meanwhile, the MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program announced that HWKN’s bright blue spiky sea-urchin shaped pavilion will be popping up this summer, PinkCloud.DK unveiled plans to transform oil refineries into giant energy positive communities and the UK granted planning commission for its first amphibious house.
We also showcased several amazing applications for LEGO bricks this week: a NYC apartment renovated with 20,000 plastic bricks, a gigantic LEGO-inspired church in the Netherlands and a remarkable fully articulated prosthetic LEGO arm. Speaking of next-gen prosthetics, this week Israeli scientists demoed a real-life “Star Trek” VISOR that enables the blind to see, and Nike took the wraps off a prosthetic running sole for amputee triathlete Sarah Reinertsen.
This also marked a heated week for energy news as solar power heavyweight Sunpower sued Solarcity over stolen data, and Aquamarine Power geared up to connect its new wave energy generator to the UK’s national grid. We also got ready for rough days ahead with the waterproof, armageddon-ready, solar-charged, battery-powered iPhone case, and we got things cooking with Biolite’s brilliant new camping stove, which converts waste heat into electricity for USB gadgets. Last but not least, we were wowed by several amazing new applications for discarded tech: Sean Avery’s astounding animal sculptures made from shattered CDs and Paola Mirai’s elegant jewelry fashioned out of discarded computer circuits.

It is just over a month since Notion Ink set loose their alpha build of Ice Cream Sandwich for the Adam. Today that build gets bumped up to beta and as before has been posted to the Internet for anyone willing to try it out.
As before, this is nowhere close to a finished product so expect bugs galore. There are still a number of fixes to bugs found in the initial alpha build. 3G, Youtube HD, the sleep issue, graphics acceleration, Wi-Fi and USB issues all get fixes and improvements.
What we still don't have working includes a list of key items such as the camera, microphone, light sensor, compass and disabling notifications.
It's Ice Cream Sandwich though, and seeing any manufacturer actively trying to push the software to their devices is a good thing. Hit the source links below for more information and full install instructions. There's also a nice little selection of images showing where they're at so far for anyone interested.

Di tastiere supertecnologiche, dal design più o meno consono alla postazione multimediale utilizzata, di colori differenti ed equipaggiate di svariate funzioni ve ne sono oramai a bizzeffe in modo tale da andare incontro ai gusti di ognuno ma, nonostante il vasto assortimento, di certo nessuno di voi lettori di Geekissimo avrà avuto modo di vedere, tanto nei negozi in strada quanto in quelli online, Brand Keyboard… una tastiera molto ma molto particolare!
La tastiera, di cui è possibile visionarne sia un ingrandimento (la prima immagine illustrativa) sia una panoramica completa (la seconda immagine illustrativa… è presente dopo il salto!) si distingue infatti da tutto quanto di analogo presente sul mercato per una particolarità ben precisa e, di certo, dandogli una rapida occhiata non è poi così difficile capire a cosa si fa riferimento… i tasti!
Ebbene si, Brand Keyboard, il cui nome dice già tutto, va a configurarsi, nello specifico, come un concept di tastiera per computer davvero singolare nel suo genere presentando, piuttosto che i classici tasti a cui tutti noi siamo abituati, pulsanti caratterizzati dalla presenza di tutta una serie di loghi facenti riferimento a rinomate marche la cui iniziale, ovviamente, corrisponde alla lettera che, normalmente, si trova impressa.

In the olden days of CableCARD circa 2004, only a select few devices and software could leverage the card’s power to watch premium cable TV, but not today. Today just about any adventurous dev can take advantage of the fact that an OCUR is a network tuner and access premium cable TV — as long as the content is marked Copy Freely, that is. The latest to unleash that power is XBMC which also helps extend the functionality to iOS via GoodPlayer and Buzz Player as well as any UPnP client with the help of a Serviio media server. Essentially this custom code is acting as a middleman, but fulfilling the dream that any software could directly control and stream from a CableCARD tuner like the InfiniTV 4 is within reach. The only drawback left is that even with the current sale price of the InfiniTV 4 at $199, it still isn’t as low as the cost of entry of something like a ClearQAM tuner.

We’ve all thought it, but never dared think it could be true: what if Microsoft, Yahoo, and AOL actively monitor our instant messenger chats? What if mentions of ‘bomb’ and ‘underage’ are tracked and sent to law enforcement agencies? What if chat providers don’t agree with the things we say, or the links we share, and filter or censor the content of our transmitted messages?
Well, it looks like our fears may actually have some basis in reality: Yahoo Messenger strips FilesTube links from instant messages. It doesn’t tell either party that a URL has been removed from chat — it just deletes it. Poof. FilesTube, in case you were wondering, is one of the largest file hosting meta search engines on the Web — it indexes RapidShare, Megaupload, Mediafire, and many other ‘cyberlocker’ services.
It’s fairly obvious why FilesTube links are being removed — the Censor General at Yahoo is probably one of those perplexed primates who think all uses of BitTorrent are illegal — but this situation poses a far more important question: is Yahoo censoring messages on the client side, or the server side. Does the messenger client itself maintain a list of ‘blacklisted’ words — and if so, why are we not told that FilesTube links are banned? What other words and terms does Yahoo protect us from?

Version 5.3 of Skype for Windows has just been released, with the main emphasis of the new release being improved call quality, and the quality of video received by mobile Skype users. Presumably one party of the video call must be using Skype for Windows 5.3, though.
Beyond improved call quality, not much has changed. You can now see your friends’ presence icons when contact cards are collapsed, and the topic editing button is now always visible on the conversation header. For a complete list of changes, hit up the Skype Garage blog.

There’s no dearth of multiplayer games either for Android or for iOS. But finding multiplayer games that can cross the platform boundary is an entirely different matter.
Jay recently posted Words with Friends which is one such game. It’s actually an ideal example, because it’s turn-based so you don’t necessarily both have to be next to your device at the same time (great for long-distance gaming).
But what other examples are there? What multiplayer games are there that let iOS users play with Android users?

Rejoice! No longer will you have to fork over $700 for a Photoshop CS5 license! Adobe has unveiled a new subscription scheme where you can rent the entire Creative Suite, or individual packages, by the month, or for an entire year.
Adobe Photoshop can be yours for $35 per month if you agree to rent it for 12 months, or $49 per month if you require its services for a shorter period. Dreamweaver can be had for even cheaper, at just $19 per month. The entire Master Collection is still rather expensive, though, at $125 per month.
Today, Adobe also ushered in the release of Creative Suite 5.5, and simultaneously upped its release cycle from 18 months to 24 months. This means, if you rent Photoshop for two years, it’s actually the same cost as buying it outright. There’s no rent-to-own option, though — so you wouldn’t have access to the cheaper upgrade price once Creative Suite 6 rolls around next year. Still, if you need access to Photoshop, After Effects or Premiere for a one-time project, the new rental scheme could be exactly what you’re looking for.
In other news, Adobe has announced that it will be launching three rather exciting iPad apps that work in conjunction with Photoshop: Eazel, Nav, and Color Lava. Eazel lets you five-finger paint on your iPad, and export the result into Photoshop; Nav acts as some kind of workspace, brush and menu extension, and the hopefully named Color Lava is a paint mixing palette. The apps are expected to appear in the App Store in the next 30 days.

Study: App Economy Created 500,000 U.S. Jobs

The explosive growth of smartphones and tablets has been a blessing in disguise for the struggling global economy. Ably led by the Apple iPhone and iPad, the app economy has created a staggering 466,000 jobs in the U.S. since 2007. These findings are reported by TechNet as part of a study that shows the impact of app-related jobs on the economy, based on data from the last three months of 2011.
Out of these, a lion’s share (311,000) of jobs is related to app development and marketing while the rest (155,000) is an indirect result of the booming app market. Unbelievable as it sounds, the size of this market was practically zero before Apple changed the game with its revolutionary iPhone launch in 2007. Half a million jobs for an industry that hardly existed five years ago is a massive achievement by any means.
The best part – app economy has benefited organizations of all sizes – ranging from big software and gaming companies like Electronic Arts and Zynga to small one person start-ups working out of a home. While the study captures the app economy effects in the U.S., I strongly believe appification (as it’s called) has been a global phenomenon of sorts.
To put things in perspective, the App Economy in U.S. is now twice the size of Apple’s Chinese manufacturing units. From a geographical perspective, the highest number of app jobs in a metro area were created in the New York-New Jersey-Long Island area (9.2 percent), followed by San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont (8.5 percent), San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara (6.3 percent) and the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue (5.7 percent) area. As expected, California generated the most app jobs by far with 23.8 percent of all jobs, followed by New York (6.9 percent) and Washington (6.4 percent).
The TechNet report further states that it’s still early days for the App Economy and the best is yet to come. Are you a budding app developer or reviewer? If so, it’s never too late to start and be a part of the phenomenal ‘App Economy’ success story.
Do you want to be part of the App Economy and build your iPhone App? We’re launching a free course to teach you how to code an iPhone app. If you’re interested, register at AppCoda.com. Join us and learn iPhone programming together!

It’s uncommon you receive email with an attachment in zip format. Or you want to download a zip file while browsing the web. The built-in Mail app or Safari browser, however, is not capable to unzip the compressed file. So how can you open a zip file on iPhone or iPad?
If you’ve purchased GoodReader or Air Sharing, both apps already come with the zip feature to uncompress any zip files or email attachment. Both apps are great but they’re not free apps. If you don’t want to spend a dollar, you should check out Winzip which is currently available for free download.
I think I don’t have to introduce Winzip. It’s the leader of file compression and I believe most of you have used Winzip on your desktop. Lately, the company brings its flagship utility to iPhone and iPad. Best of all, the Winzip app doesn’t cost you a penny.
You can grab the app from App Store via this direct iTunes link. Once installed, your iPhone or iPad is powered with the unzip feature. Whenever you find a zipped attachment in your email, simply tap on it and you’re allowed to open the file in Winzip.
Winzip also works in mobile Safari browser. In any case you want to download a zip file while browsing the web, tap on the file and you’ll be prompted to select Winzip to open the zip file.
Not only it can unzip the archive file, the app lets you view the contained documents in the following formats:
Winzip app is a great add-on for your iPhone and iPad. So grab it now while it’s free!

There are no shortage of iPad 3 rumors out there. Quad-core A6, LTE radio, Retina Display — we’ve heard it all, but haven’t actually seen much in the way of evidence. Now MacRumors claims to have gotten its paws on part of the mythical beast. The site has a 9.7-inch LCD, in the same aspect ratio as the iPad and iPad 2 that certainly appears to be rocking a full 2048 x 1536 resolution. Without a way to power the screen its a little tough to be certain, but the same area of the alleged iPad 3 panel does seem to house twice as many pixels as its predecessor when viewed under the same magnification. Could this in fact be the Retina Display destined to put iOS 5.1 in the hands of millions of tablet fans? We’ll just have to wait for Tim Cook to reveal of its secrets to us, which should be happening sooner, rather than later.

Microsoft, citing Google’s tyrannical 95% share of the European search market, has lodged a formal complaint with the European Commission. It’s not like Microsoft is breaking any ground here — the European Commission has been investigating Google’s alleged violation of European competition law since November 2010 — but there’s no doubt that the addition of Microsoft’s gravitas will affect the proceedings.
Microsoft’s complaint reads like a sincere and plaintive cry for help against the Google Overlord. Microsoft lists no less than six damning reasons why Google’s behavior is anti-competitive — from Windows Phone 7′s incompatibility with YouTube, to its nefarious handling of Google Books — and finishes with a wide-eyed plea to the European Commission to please find Google guilty.
For those of you that have been following Microsoft’s own antitrust troubles over the last decade, don’t worry: MS is quick to point out the irony in the situation. “There of course will be some who will point out the irony in today’s filing. Having spent more than a decade wearing the shoe on the other foot with the European Commission, the filing of a formal antitrust complaint is not something we take lightly. This is the first time Microsoft Corporation has ever taken this step. More so than most, we recognize the importance of ensuring that competition laws remain balanced and that technology innovation moves forward.”
It sounds like Microsoft, having well and truly gone through the wringer, wants Google to be held similarly accountable. That’s fair enough, right?
