Top 5 Android wishes for 2014 (video)

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

From an unknown project, to the most powerful and versatile operating system on the planet, Android has proven its impact on society. Back in 2008 we were all skeptical of covering Android here at Pocketnow, and boy are we glad we gave it a chance.

Top 5 devices we liked from CES 2014 (video)

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

Even though CES 2014 is over, and our team has returned from the show-floor in Las Vegas, there’s always that common feeling of either fulfillment or lack-there-of with the things we see at the show. CES continues to be the biggest technology trade show in the US, and even though most of the things that are covered in the keynotes are focused on mobile technology, it’s such an oddity to see that we see less of it every year. This year some things were different, and it mainly has to do with new emerging markets, like wearable technology for example. We had lots of expectations ...

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

Let’s face it, tablets aren’t perfect. We’ve had numerous editorials talking about it, and we don’t think twice about pointing these imperfections out in our reviews.

There are companies that’ll charge you the same amount of money for lesser quality products than others, and there are those that would rather lose a premium in oder to sell you what you paid for. Now that said, tablets aren’t new. We’ve used them for over a decade, and it’s interesting to note that ...

Top 5 things we hate about the iPhone 5S

Posted on by Taylor Martin

The iPhone 5S is finally official, alongside its cheaper, “unapologetically plastic” sibling, the iPhone 5C. We have heard rumors of both since not long after the iPhone 5 launched last year, and the closer today’s event got, the more secrets started to spill out. Today, we knew practically everything about both smartphones before Tim Cook & Co. ever took the stage. Many predicted today would be a fairly disappointing day for Apple fans. And ...

Top 5 biggest disappointments of iOS 7

Posted on by Taylor Martin

Today is the day every iOS fanatic has been awaiting for years. From the time iOS was first announced to the last major update, iOS 6, the operating system has looked mostly the same. Apple added features along the way but, for the most part, it has always been the same iOS. For the last six years, the interface has remained mostly unchanged. And few viewed that as a serious problem. The vocal minority and us tech writers have griped about it for years, about how stale iOS has become as new and existing operating systems have been ...

It’s about that time for Apple to show us the ropes with their next batch of products. WWDC, or World Wide Developers Conference, happens on June 10th and has always been about software enhancements to current software and services.
