Gone are the days when you had to walk around with a bulky wallet packed with banknotes, social security card, driver’s license, credit cards, membership cards and other important pieces of personal identification. With your iPhone, you can pay for your shopping, parking, utility bills, buy airtime, browse the internet and much more, using mobile […]

Traffic, road closures, and unexpected delays are all part of the daily hassles that make getting around difficult. It’s more frustrating if you go out unprepared, but it doesn’t have to be that way. With a navigation app, you can get accurate maps with voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions, and integrated navigation for walking, cycling and public […]

Its core technology later […]

One of the things I love about owning a tablet (in my case, an iPad) is that I can ditch all of my print magazine subscriptions and go digital instead. As well as magazines, there are other kinds of subscriptions, such as app upgrades and games, all of which can be accessed and monitored through […]

If it is 2.00am and you only have a few hours to get some sleep, there’s nothing worse than someone trying to call you, or ping you on chat. Turning the phone off or slinging it out of the room may be impractical if you use your phone as an alarm clock. So what do […]
