Rue Liu, Sep 27th 2011 Discuss [2]

Microsoft rolled out its major Windows Phone 7.5 Mango update today and has also opened the doors to a new web-based Windows Phone Marketplace that's looking rather slick.

Apple injunction demands over Amazon Appstore denied

Chris Davies, Jul 7th 2011 Discuss [1]

Attempts by Apple to have Amazon's use of the name Appstore for its download store blocked have failed, with the Cupertino company's legal argument failing to convince the judge presiding the case.

iCloud Lets You Re-Download Apps No Longer Available On The App Store

Rue Liu, Jun 9th 2011 Discuss [7]

It's been discovered by CDFXapps.com that the new iTunes with iCloud, at least in the beta version, lets users re-download apps that have been removed from the iTunes App Store. Apple has made it clear during their WWDC 2011 keynote that the new iCloud enabled App Store will let users re-download apps, but is it an oversight that previously purchased apps that have been removed or banned are also still available?

KORG iELECTRIBE Gorillaz Limited Edition Mini Review

Chris Burns, Apr 19th 2011 Discuss [12]

This isn’t a limited edition review, instead this is a review of a limited edition app – interesting, yes? Actually what they’re saying is that the app will be $9.99 for the first 10,000 units. What that generally means, when you’re purchasing artwork anyways, is that the rest will be MORE expensive. Could it be that this app will tear through 10,000 downloads then demand more money because it’s doing so well? Have a look at our miniature review below.

iPad 2 Review

Vincent Nguyen, Mar 9th 2011 Discuss [153]

The iPad shaped the consumer tablet market. Now, just as Android 3.0 Honeycomb slates are rising to the challenge, the iPad 2 is here to move Apple’s game on even further. Squeezing a faster processor, boosted graphics and twin cameras into a 33-percent thinner design, yet keeping the same 10hr battery and – perhaps most importantly – the same price, the iPad 2 promises to refine what rivals were still struggling to beat. Is the Apple iPad 2 the best tablet today? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
