If you’re anything like me, then you probably need your hourly dose of tech news from the best and here is a tool that could give you just that.
I have just recently downloaded and installed the app on my phone and I gotta say, it’s looking pretty good on my scoreboard. The app displays articles from different tech blogs as they are posted.
There’s a centralized news feed that could update you while a category view makes it easier to track certain topics that interest at the moment.
You can download the app for free from the iTunes App Store.
StumbleUpon had just released an update to their iOS and Android apps today. Now, version 2.0 brings a revamped StumbledUpon app to its users. The update brings a new “Explore Box”, a feature that is not new to the web-based users.
The update also brings a new swipe to stumble option for easy stumbling. Moreover, the update will bring a new interface that would make images and other results mor vibrant.
You can download the app free from the Android MarketPlace and the iTunes App Store.
Cross-platform mobile messaging has gotten a little bit cooler today as Samsung has unveiled its plans of launching its very own cross-platform mobile messenger app. The service being called the Samsung’s ChatOn app will allow users to chat with friends who own phones with other platforms.
Even cooler is that the company will include feature phones in this project.
The service will offer 1 on 1 private messaging, a conference chatting option, free sms and mms sending through the app and more.
Unfortunately, there’s still no actual release date for the app but we will update you as soon as more information about this has been announced.
Facebook has just released their newest iOS app version named version 3.5. The update brings a number of bug fixes and appearance enhancements to its users. Updates include chat bugs fixes, a fix wherein the notification bar disappears, and fixes with its newsfeed filtering options. Enhancements on the other hand include a few UI changes to the profile and groups page.
So that’s that. I’m still hoping for an iPad version of the Facebook app, I wonder when would that be?
You can download the update from the Apple App Store for free.
Just last week, there have been reports about a number of fake Apple Stores in Kunming, China. Now, the government has taken action against this and has reportedly closed down two of them while hunting down three more in the area.
As you can see from the photo above, the fake Apple Store is too similar that you can’t tell whether its a real store or not. China is known for copying gadgets but I didn’t think that they would go as far as copying an entire store’s concept and design just to make an extra buck.
Acer has just confirmed the US release for their AC700 Chromebook and according to the announcement, it will come for $350 with a 3G version to be released soon after. The device will probably make it to a number of online and electronic retail stores in the country upon release.
As a reminder, the Acer AC700 Chromebook will run Google Chrome OS and features cloud storage options for customers. Its processor will boast of an Aom N570 processor with 2GB of DDR3 memory.
Also, it sports a 1.3 megapixel cam, and a combination of 2 USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port and memory card reader.
