Now this accessory is a neat way to share files between your iPod, iPhone and iPad with the lightning connector. It’s is a 16gb USB drive in capacity. It works in conjunction with an app. Connect the lightning connector into your iPhone, open the app and your files are shown. Copy or move from your phone or from the USB stick. Once finished, plug the USB end into your mac and repeat.
Only one downside, and its a big one, this gadget cost $150. Now who said Apple accessories were expensive.
On February 9th, Nike Support informed people through Twitter that they’re only focusing on iOS and web right now. “We’re not working on an Android App.”
So the Nike Fuelband is only available on iOS. Another win for iOS.
Bump has been updated on iOS and android. The link shown is for the iOS app.
The new update removes the need for using a USB stick as you can send and receive files from your pc.
That’s in addition to sharing contents between devices using the bump app.
Now if the iPhone had a decent file sharing system you wouldn’t need this app.
Below is the image of the black unannounced HTC One.
Looks good but I do wonder what’s unique about it. Some wild rumour suggests it will have detachable camera lenses made by Canon. Guess we won’t have long to wait.
I would just like to say thank you to everyone for taking the time to read my blog. It’s officially 2 months old and I am humbled to think that people from over 100 countries now read it.
The blog viewing statistics have accelerated beyond my wildest expectations.
I am thinking of changing the header photo of the mac keyboard but I am not sure what to. If you have any ideas or have a header photo you could donate then please let me know.
Thanks everyone.

Apple has released a shorter USB lightning cable of 0.5m. Personally that’s really short and I wonder why they reduced it from a metre length.
The in ear headphones have also been slightly redesigned with curvier controls to match the earpod style.

The best camera is always the one you have with you. I took this photo with an iPhone 5 using the panoramic mode. The camera options are limited but you can take good snaps.
This is a view of London.
Opera in a surprise move has announced it has bought Skyfire for $155 in cash and stock.
CEO Jeffrey Glueck of Opera commented that he believed there is a lot of synergy between the 2 companies and benefits to be had with their purchase.
If only iOS allow you to set a different default browser then this might be really interesting.
They say the best ideas are the ones you have in a moment of inspiration.
Well if Apple released a 5 inch phone they would be seen to be copying others like Samsung. However, maybe if they used my idea, it would be seen as innovation.
The concept is simple. Take the iPad Mini and fold it in half to create a clam shell device thats as thin as the iPad Mini when folded and is half the weight.
Simple don’t you think?
So do you think this would be viable or do you have a better idea?
