APP OF THE DAY: StumbleUpon review (Android and iOS) Time-sapper mobile The internet is a vast and cavernous place. In fact, it’s often so very big that it’s impossible to find anything of interest at all. With absolutely anything you can think of available to read about online, it’s sometimes difficult to think of anything to search for. That’s where today’s App of the Day on Pocket-lint comes in handy. It’s an oldie but a very goodie indeed, and one that’s just turned up on our handsets. StumbleUpon StumbleUpon has arrived on mobile phones pretty much everywhere now that it’s brought its fresh-faced good looks to Google...

Another Samsung Galaxy S3 image appears - thank heavens there's only two more days to go Bigger than the Galaxy S II We suspect this may not be the last of them before the Samsung Galaxy S3 (or Samsung Galaxy S III, as it could turn out to be called) will finally be unveiled - on Thursday 3 May - but another "leaked" picture of what is purportedly the most sought-after Android handset has appeared online. This time an "anonymous tipster" sent the image to mobile phone website Know Your Mobile and, if true, it reveals a couple of interesting things. First, the successor to the hugely popular Galaxy S II is larger, measuring over...

Nokia no longer biggest handset maker as Samsung ends 14-year reign Samsung top dog Samsung is now the biggest-selling mobile manufacturer in the world, with the Korean company overtaking Finnish giant Nokia. It’s the first time in 14-years that Nokia hasn’t remained on the top spot as the manufacturer has struggled to maintain dominance in the wake of Android and Apple devices. According to an industry study, Samsung shipped 93.5 million handsets in Q1, compared to Nokia’s 82.7 million. Samsung has already issued impressive financial results for Q1 of this year and with the imminent arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S3 it’s happy days for...

Samsung Galaxy S3 specs revealed in leaked service manual A leaked image, purportedly taken from the new Samsung Galaxy S3’s service manual, has been circulating among the online tech community. The image shows a sketch of the phone, which is officially unveiled in London on 3 May, along with a list of specs. Before we delve into those, it’s important to point out that this tipster has sent this alleged leak to several sites and as such we remain a tad sceptical, especially as some of the specs don’t add up. For example, the document alleges the processor will be a 1.5GHz, but Samsung has already announced that its flagship device will run on an Exynos 4...

Anda mengalami rasa nyeri di punggung, pinggang, dan leher? Bisa jadi hal itu terjadi karena posisi duduk Anda tidak benar. Secara gender, menurut Drew DeMann, spesialis tulang dari New York City, Amerika Serikat, posisi tubuh yang salah lebih sering memberikan gangguan pada kesehatan wanita ketimbang pria. Kesalahan duduk yang sering dilakukan oleh seseorang adalah terlalu merosot ke bawah, terlalu maju ke depan, lupa berdiri, atau lupa meluruskan kaki, sehingga pada akhirnya pinggang dan punggungnya terasa nyeri. Orang yang bekerja di kantor harus menghadapi hal ini selama sekitar 8 jam. Berikut ini tip posisi duduk yang benar ala DeMann. 1. Posisi kepala belakang,...

Punya ponsel atau tablet Android memang sangat menyenangkan. Berbagai aplikasi bisa dipasang-lepas dengan mudah dan cepat. Gratis pula, namun setelah penggunaan cukup lama, banyak pengguna yang merasa perangkat Androidnya berjalan lebih lambat. Sebagai sebuah perangkat cerdas, ponsel maupun tablet Android dipersenjatai oleh prosesor yang bertugas untuk menjaga kinerja dan stabilitas perangkat selama digunakan, selain tentu saja merespons perintah yang kita berikan. Kemudian ada juga peran memori (internal) yang dibutuhkan untuk menyimpan ‘cache’ dari tugas-tugas yang telah kita berikan sebelumnya, agar perangkat lebih mudah jika kita mengulang perintah yang sama di lain...

Smartphone Lumia 900 telah memukau banyak orang dalam Consumer Electronics Show di Las Vegas beberapa bulan lalu. Namun, smartphone tersebut masih belum bisa menyukseskan Microsoft dan Nokia dalam persaingan smartphone di Amerika Serikat. Kini, Nokia dan Microsoft berusaha melonjakkan angka penjualan smartphone tersebut melalui kerjasama dengan AT&T. Salah satu perusahaan operator seluler di AS tersebut menawarkan Lumia 900 dengan harga hanya US$100, hanya separuh dari harga iPhone 4S yang ditawarkan oleh Verizon dan AT&T. Menurut para analis, Lumia 900 memiliki kesempatan untuk menjauhkan perhatian konsumen dari iPhone dan smartphone Android. Pasalnya, smartphone tersebut...

APP OF THE DAY: Plex review (Android) Stream everything to your phone One of the biggest frustrations with media streaming around the home, is how difficult it still is. You can buy boxes to do it, or use DLNA-compliant software on your phone, tablet or laptop. But it's never easy. Plex, which ties a desktop client to a mobile app, and full-on Windows, Mac or Linux media centre, seems to offer a solution. And we think it's a pretty elegant one too. Plex for Android Platform Price Where The idea is simple: take all of your photos, music and videos and stream them to almost any device you want. Here we're looking at the Android app, but...

No 3D camera for Samsung smartphones Manufacturer has no plans to follow the crowd Apple is rumoured to be working on one. HTC and LG already have one. Yet it seems Samsung has no plans to follow suit by introducing a 3D camera to its smartphone range. Speculation had been rife that the new Samsung Galaxy S III might house some kind of 3D technology when it arrives later this year. But Samsung has vehemently denied working on a 3D camera for the Galaxy S III or any other potential handset for that matter. In a statement to Engadget, Samsung said: “Although Samsung Electronics is constantly exploring new technologies for our mobile devices, we have no immediate plan...

Samsung Galaxy S III appears in leaked 'invite' Seems unlikely This will probably keep happening until Samsung announces the phone itself, but another leaked image has appeared online of what is, purportedly, the Samsung Galaxy S III. Taking the form of an "invite" sent to press (which we haven't received), the phone looks unlike the other leaked images we've seen before... It's shiny and sleek and curvy and, most likely, utter codswallop. For starters, Samsung doesn't generally unveil a phone before the actual unveiling. Also, we have it on good authority from Pocket-lint's own sources that the Samsung shindig to launch the Galaxy S III will be...

Over 3 billion Draw Something sketches already 20 million downloads since launch So we knew Draw Something was big. We just didn’t know how big. Since being launched just seven weeks ago a staggering 20 million people have used the app, with more than three billion - that’s billion - sketches drawn. Of course the app is free (a paid for ad-free version is also available) and is available on both iOS and Android platforms, all of which are contributing factors to its mass appeal. However, the game’s creators Omgpop are said to have earned more revenue in a single day from people downloading Draw Something than they have with all of their previous games combined. For...

SIM-free Samsung Galaxy S II last to get Ice Cream Sandwich Waiting on all network providers Samsung has confirmed that the last group of Samsung Galaxy S II owners to get the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) update will be those who bought their devices SIM free. The explanation given by the manufacturer is that it has to wait until all of the different UK network providers finish releasing their updates so that the blanket upgrade can be tested on all networks. Simon Stanford, VP of Samsung Telecommunications and Networks UK and Ireland, told CNET that it will be possible only "once we've got all of the operator pieces on board". "As an open-market customer you...

Google hasn't made just $544 million from Android in four years Updated: Guardian report wrong Last week, UK newspaper the Guardian reported that Google’s business model had been called into question. Additionally, research published online went as far as to speculate that the internet giant makes as little as $3.5 on every phone it sells over the device's lifetime. However, those assumptions were made on a misunderstanding over a $2.8 million settlement offer in Oracle's lawsuit against Google. The Guardian claimed this represented royalties based on revenue, but in reality, as revealed by Business Insider, it's actually the value placed on the patent at...

Instagram for Android lands, we go hands-on Was the wait worth it? Instagram, the darling app of the iPhone world, has finally arrived on Android. Turning up on the Google Play store relatively unannounced, the new application lets Android users share retro-style images. Incorporating all that "new age fun with a vintage feel" which iPhone lovers have so long boasted about, it works virtually identically to the iOS counterpart. You sign in and are greeted with a feed of all those you follow on Instagram. This will show all the pictures taken in recent history by friends; you can then comment or favourite them. On top of this - and this is where...
