Back in January early this year, Google had revealed that they will soon be adding native support for 360 degree videos to YouTube. That promise is now a reality.
YouTube is now officially supporting 360 degree video formats in most of its web and mobile platforms. Specifically, it will support 360 degree video viewing in the YouTube website, in the YouTube app for Android, and in embedded videos on the Chrome web browser.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially released a 400 page PDF that states in detail the new and more rigid rules and regulations it has formulated for broadband services.
After a very competitive holiday period in which wireless carriers in the United States threw seemingly endless promos after promos, it seems that the price war in between network providers are beginning to subside. Indeed, we have seen some carriers raising back their fees and ending their special offers.
John Stephens, Chief Financial Officer of AT&T, certainly agrees. According to Stephens, the field of competition in the wireless industry seems to have stabilized and he expresses confidence about AT&T's chances of competing in the next quarter or so.
iTunes Match, Google Play Music, and Amazon Cloud Player are providers that all you to access your music files in the cloud. The setup with their services usually involve scanning your songs from your personal library and then matching them with the same songs already saved in the cloud. If a particular song is not available in the cloud, you will be given a chance to upload that song from your personal library. All three of them have different advantages to offer to music lovers, and on the flip side, they also have their own set of disadvantages.
We all may have heard it before. The one about wearable devices being the next big thing. Certain circles have even gone to the extent of declaring that wearable devices will soon supplant smartphones as the foremost mobile device of choice for everyone. But so far, we haven't seen anything like that yet, especially in the minds of most consumers (save perhaps for fitness tracking geeks) who generally still think of wearable devices as more cute than functional.
Last year, Apple bought Beats Music to the tune of $3 billion. But since completing its acquisition, the company has been relatively quiet about its plans for the Beats Music streaming service.
Mobile payment systems are gaining traction today, especially with the high profile release of Apple Pay, the near field communications (NFC) based system that Apple developed and released late last year. Since then, we have seen lots of retailers, banking institutions, credit card companies, and soon, even vending machines, gas pumps, and federal agencies support Apple Pay. The good thing about the launch of Apple Pay is that is also encouraged consumers to pay attention to mobile payment systems in general, including those that existed way before Apple introduced its own system.
China, particularly its urban areas, make up the biggest smartphone market in the world today. And it appears that Apple has managed to capture a quarter of all smartphone sales in that market.
According to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, for the period spanning November 2014 to January 2015, Apple's market share in urban China is 25.4 percent. For the record, that is the biggest market share that the company has ever scored in that country. Last year, Apple only had a 17.4 market share in the same three-month period.
It appears that BlackBerry is back to making touchscreen smartphones again. It recently introduced the Leap, a touchscreen device that the company hopes will attract users, especially those who are startup founders or those that belong to the young demographic.
The free iOS app Phhhoto is far from being just your regular photo or video mobile app. That is because it doesn't just snap static, individual photos. Instead, this mobile app takes a series of pictures and stitches them up together to form a moving, animated picture that loops.
