Apple Product Roadmap

I don’t think a week has gone by so far this year without some kind of new rumour or suggestion about what Apple is going to be launching next.  I’ve been keeping a close eye on all of these rumours and, quite helpfully, a full list of the rumoured products (an Apple Product Roadmap) for…

It’s something we’ve been saying for a while now, but after details were released earlier this week – it’s official, mobile apps are far more popular than the mobile web.  The results have been released by mobile analytics firm Flurry who say conclusively that people prefer to use native mobile applications than responsive HTML 5…

App of the Week 31st March

There’s no real shortage of news apps available for iPhone, although you may get a different narrative from one to another, pretty much all of them provide you with a similar service. This week we’ve found a news app with a difference though, it’s called Inside.com and it’s aimed at people who want to be…

This week, we’re looking at the latest app to come from Sofia Fenichell, the founder of RockPack.  It’s called Wonder PL and it’s an ad-free video streaming platform for quality content, looking to compete with Vimeo and YouTube.  Having already attracted over $1.4m worth of investing from big names like Universal Music Group, Qualcomm Ventures…

What’s New in iOS 7.1

At the start of the week Apple launched iOS 7.1, the largest update to its iOS 7 operating system so far.  As always, people have been scrutinising the new mobile operating system, going through it with the proverbial fine tooth comb; we’re not going to go into as much detail though, just look at the…

App of the Week 10th March

This week we’re looking at an app which has actually been available for quite some time now.  It’s just been updated to version 3.0 though and made free to download from £2.99, which is nice.  It’s called Phlo, a name which I actually quite like, and it’s designed to streamline your searching experience between your…
