With the release of the iPhone 5, the debate of which phone to choose, the Samsung Galaxy S3 vs iPhone, is hotter than ever. I weigh in on the pros and cons with my feedback on the Samsung Galaxy S3.

To be quite honest, I generally use my phone for email, voice calls, texting, calendar and not much else. So bear with me, because this review will only focus around the usability of these items.

The iPhone 5 was just released this past Friday; I’ve been pleased with my iPhone 4 for just over 2 years now so I was sure I would love the iPhone 5, but I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something better out there. I was super excited when Samsung sent me the Galaxy S3 to review; the timing couldn’t be better!

Wild About Trial is a mobile app for trial enthusiasts. The app provides the latest details on trials, including case background, key players, and updates on what’s happening in court.

There are occasional court trials that sweep the nation, garnering national (sometimes international) attention (think of the trials of O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, Scott Peterson, and Casey Anthony, to name a few). Some cases have been so captivating, I’ve found myself scouring Google for the latest updates on what happened in court. If you’ve ever found yourself needing to stay up to date with a sensational trial, there’s an app for that; it’s called Wild About Trial. 

There are a multitude of iPad apps for kids, but selecting the right ones for your child isn’t always easy. From games to books, here are our top picks (based on a child’s age and interest). 

The Apple Store has plenty of iPad apps for kids that can keep children busy for hours. While apps are a great way to entertain your kids, they can also be an educational tool. Here are our top five iPad apps for kids. 

Fitness for geeks is a new concept; utilizing gaming technology to help geeks stay fit while they play digital games. A health prescription to the tech addicted.

Geeks inevitably play games, not always because they love them (but some do) but because they are victims of circumstance. It’s illogical to sit in an office for hours, doing absolutely nothing but designing or coding so many geeks can’t help but engage themselves with tech games. This is more of a boredom killer than a health prescription, making fitness for geeks an issue.

After over a year of speculation, the long awaited iPhone 5 release is a mere week away. Apple has a way of keeping its cards close, especially when it comes to new releases, so Apple’s invite to next week’s media event is no exclusion. Just take a look at the above invitation, which was sent citing no reason for the invite. The only clue? A not so subtle 5 in the shadow of the event invite.

SheBytes began reporting on the much anticipated iPhone 5 release all the way back in June of 2011 (just check out these iPhone 5 mockups).  Back then, the iPhone 5 rumor mill had been sadly dissapointed by Apple’s release of the iPhone 4S. Now, a year later, we are finally ready for the iPhone 5 release!  And if the media invite above is any indication, it will most definitely be an iPhone 5 that is announced. 

Review: Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer by HP

I’ve been on the hunt for a printer wonder machine for a while now. I finally found it: the Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer by HP. I have to tell you, I couldn’t be any happier! This printer (really) has it all! And the best part? Wi-Fi!

The Facebook gaming platform is going through changes to compete with other platforms. Kabam, a major social gaming company, recently shared with VentureBeat that only 30% of its revenue is coming from Facebook. Similarly, many other leading Facebook game developers have migrated to other platforms, including iOS and Android, in the last six months or so. Some think Facebook is losing its grip while other think it’s just an evolution phase. 

Instagram 3.0 is a free photo-sharing app for iPhone and Android phones. The new version of Instagram introduces a few new features such as Photo Maps. The focus of the 14-person team behind this update was to tweak the user-interface to make it more responsive and organized, unlike the earlier releases that mainly focused on adding new features and filters.

Facebook and other social networks are finding it hard to fight off increased mobile usage and some pundits are even suggesting that social networks are dying. Based on stats, however, social media platforms do not seem to be going anywhere. For instance, we have reports on the increase in the number of social media users and even tweets on Twitter; we also have reports that clearly indicate an ever-increasing population on Facebook. We know for sure that 15% of adults on the internet use Twitter, and the number is even higher for Facebook. So how could social networks possibly die?

Bar Call is an app that allows users to save their voice at the bar. Type your requested drink and expand the text so the bartender can visually see it.

Porters, Stouts, or Ales – what are you ordering tonight? If you’re tired of yelling at the top of your lungs at the bar only for the bartender to serve you the total opposite drink than ordered, this app is for you. With Bar Call you can order a drink conveniently by holding up your iPhone to the bartender. The bartender will notice the enlarged text even if you are holding it from across the bar. Impressively enough, Bar Call uses large black font on a white background to make text prominent even in disco lights.
