Sharing of photos iOS vs Android

Sharing of photos from the picture folder is easier on Android than on iOS. There's an option in Android to share the photos with another application (as long as it's installed) while in iOS, it's limited to email, twitter, and message.

"Invalid" login in Exchange in iPhone

A couple of weeks ago, while in the mall...I suddenly got a prompt/alert on my iPhone that I can't login of some sort to my Exchange account and it's prompting me to put in my password. This is the 1st time to get this alert and even after I input my password more than a dozen times, it was still giving me that "Invalid password" in Exchange. I tried changing my password for my Google Account and it still gave me that error prompt.

After fumbling in Google for solutions (saw in a couple of support group pages that this is a common problem)...I was brought to Google Accounts page where there is this 2-step verification. What I did was, I went thru with the verification and I was given 10mins to log on to my Exchange (Google sync) account on my iPhone which I did and that SOLVED THAT PROBLEM.

iOS 6 brings fragmentation to the iPhone

 

iOS 6 brings fragmentation to the iPhone

Published on BGR: The Three Biggest Letters In Tech | shared via feedly mobile



One of the main arguments against Google's Android operating system is the fragmentation that is spread across hundreds of devices and various software versions. Apple has even taken shots at the OS, highlighting how within a year, almost all iPhones are running the latest system version, compared to about 7% of Android users on Ice Cream Sandwich. But with the introduction of iOS 6, which the Cupertino-based company claims will deliver more than 200 new features, Apple may finally have to deal with fragmentation as well.

While the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 will be compatible with iOS 6, both devices will get a version of the software that forgoes key features. As noted by Ars Technica, Apple's impressive 3D Flyover feature and turn-by-turn voice navigation found within its new Maps app will only work on A5-powered devices, meaning the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and the new iPad. To make matters worse, the iPhone 3GS doesn't support FaceTime and it won't be able to handle offline reading, shared Photo Streams, VIP lists or Flagged Smart mailboxes.

While the situation might not be as bad as many claim it is on Android, Apple will continue to face difficulties when attempting to keep its older hardware up-to-date.

Apple's list of feature limitations is as follows:

Features are subject to change. Not all features are available on all devices.

Some features may not be available in all countries or all areas. Flyover and turn-by-turn navigation will be available only on iPhone 4S and iPad 2 or later. Cellular data charges may apply. Siri will be available only on iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply. Shared Photo Streams requires iOS 6 on iPhone 4 or later or iPad 2 or later, or a Mac computer with OS X Mountain Lion. An up-to-date browser is required for accessing shared photo streams on the web. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability. Carrier data charges may apply. FaceTime is not available in all countries. VIP list and VIP and Flagged smart mailboxes will be available on iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later. Offline Reading List will be available on iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later. Made for iPhone hearing aids require iPhone 4S. Find My Friends and Find My iPhone enable you to locate iOS devices only when they are on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network or have an active data plan. Not available in all areas.

No More Cables: OSX Mountain Lion Will Support AirPlay Mirroring

 

No More Cables: OSX Mountain Lion Will Support AirPlay Mirroring

Published on TechCrunch | shared via feedly mobile



Apple has made a ton of announcements during the keynote to its Worldwide Developer Conference. But one of the coolest updates to its OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion operating system is the addition of AirPlay Mirroring, which will let users directly stream content from their Macs to Apple TV and other supported devices.

AirPlay Mirroring was first announced for the iPad at last year's WWDC, but now the Apple team is extending it to even more parts of its device ecosystem. By adding it to OSX, users will no longer have to hook up cables to their Macs in order to stream video or games from their laptops to the biggest screen in the house. All they need is an Apple TV connected to their HDTV.

That not only makes it easier to share presentations and the like on the big screen, it also creates more functionality for the Apple TV and provides even more reason for enthusiasts to pick up the $99 device. We expect more updates for the Apple TV to be announced soon, so until then…

As part of its unveiling of iOS 6, Apple has announced that the new OS will support FaceTime calls over cellular connections.

Apple reveals new AirPort Express with simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi, costs $99

Published on The Verge - All Posts | shared via feedly mobile



Along with all of the news today at WWDC, Apple has announced a new AirPort Express router that features a complete hardware redesign. The new version looks like a white Apple TV and loses the power adapter look of its predecessor. It also now supports simultaneous dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi. The previous version worked with both frequencies, but could not support the two at the same time. Additionally, the unit now has two ethernet ports, so you're no longer forced to connect every machine over Wi-Fi, and it has the same USB 2.0 and 3.5mm headphone jack as before. The new AirPort Express costs that same as its predecessor, at $99, and is available now.
