Windows Phone 8 emulator hints at a Full HD future Jul 2nd 2013, 14:05, by Kate Solomon 
Some code spotted in the Windows Phone developer kit suggests that the next generation of devices will come rocking full 1080p HD. One plucky dev eked the files out of some newly-released updates to the Windows Phone 8 Visual Studio 8 emulator beta. Windows Phone 8 currently supports up to 720p HD, but these developer files speak of 1080 x 1920 resolutions alongside the existing pixel counts. Building blocksConsidering Microsoft just held a big event last week (take a bow, Build 2013), the timing of this find is a little odd - but as luck would have it, the 'soft's BFF Nokia has a phone-based event on the cards for next week. Will we see the first full HD Windows Phone launch then? Given that the word on the street is that the Nokia EOS (or should that be Nokia Lumia 1020?) handset will feature a 41MP camera, a full HD display option would come in fairly handy too. Either way, the question of a full HD Windows Phone handset isn't so much an if as a when.    | Blip: Microsoft wants to know how you're feeling with mood-sensing phone Jul 2nd 2013, 14:00, by Hugh Langley 
Thought phone tech was reaching its apex? It hasn't even started. A newly discovered research paper by Microsoft Research in Asia shows that the company has been playing around with the idea of a smartphone that can detect your mood - and has even built a prototype with a 66 per cent accuracy rating. No, we have no idea either. Microsoft refers to the technology as MoodScope, and the feature - should it ever get off the ground - would share your mood with friends via social networks. We can't see too many useful applications of this feature, though it would no doubt be a big win for companies who could target products perfectly. Feeling hungry? Bored? Like a holiday? You see where we're going with this. More blips!We're trying to sense how you're feeling right now...you're feeling like you want to read some more blips.    | Motorola Droid Ultra pops up on Moto website, advises you to Think Thin Jul 2nd 2013, 10:31, by Kate Solomon 
Size zero phones are going nowhere if the latest Motorola leak is anything to go by; the company's website promises a device called the Motorola Droid Ultra and tells us to "think thin". It's not clear if this is part of a well-planned whisper campaign on Motorola's part, or simply that fat fingers have accidentally set a web page live early by accident. Either way, the page is not giving much away. Above a spec list that PocketNow posits is a copy'n'paste of the Razr M's facts and figures, a grey boxout heralds the arrival of the Droid Ultra. Feel fatIt tells us that we should Think Thin - which sounds a bit like something that sleazy agents tell aspiring models - before teasing "a bunch of glossy colours" and a DuPont Kevlar body. No photos to speak of, unfortunately. While the Motorola X Phone leaks have come thick and fast, we've not heard tell of the Droid Ultra before. The Droid brand is a US-only Verizon-friendly affair although differently-monikered handsets with similar spec sheets do make it out to the rest of the world. So if you like the sound of something thin, strong, multi-coloured and Motorola branded but you aren't in the US then don't despair just yet.

The budget iPhone (or perhaps not-so-budget) is expected to touch down alongside the iPhone 5S later this year, and a trio of colourful cases have just surfaced that could be the biggest indicator of what the cheaper handset will look like. While there's no evidence to support that these are the real deal, the green one does look very similar to another alleged budget iPhone shell we glimpsed last week. The similarities don't stop there either, as both the new and previous leaked pictures show an identical layout on the inside part of the casing, which also doubles up as proof that these aren't simply a bunch of accessory cases. - Check out everything TechRadar knows about the budget iPhone so far
Fake plastic iPhone case?If all indicators so far are to be believed, the cheap iPhone will be the first to sport a plastic shell since the 3GS. The picture's came from China are were picked up by French site Nowhereelse, and are apparently of different dimensions to the upcoming iPhone 5S, suggesting they're very much their own thing. So either someone's fake plastic mockup is getting a lot of exposure, or this is in fact what we'll be getting our hands on in a few months.    | Android 4.3 notification update may herald wearable tech revolution Jul 2nd 2013, 09:43, by John McCann 
Details on Google's impending Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update are beginning to leak and the latest news to slide out of the rumour mill claims the notification system is getting some love. Android doesn't currently allow app developers to do much with notifications, especially if you're looking to view them on a synced device such as Google Glass or a smartwatch. According to Android Police, an Android obsessive by the name of Kevin has discovered new features as part of the notification service in version 4.3 of Jelly Bean, revealing that apps may be able to read, dismiss and activate buttons on notifications. Smart, watchThird party apps may be able to replicate the notification panel, which would be a great benefit to the smartwatch world as it's currently tricky to get the messages synced between devices - perhaps there really is a Google Watch on the cards? The code as it stands at the moment apparently only gives the special access to Google's own suite of apps, but it's thought that third party applications will be able to get in on the action soon. Google itself hasn't said anything about the next version of its mobile platform, although if rumours are to be believed then we're going to be seeing Android 4.3 Jelly Bean in the next few months, ahead of Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie later this year. - Wondering what all this smartwatch fuss is about? Then take a gander at our QuickRadar video below, and read all about the potential iWatch Apple may be cooking up over in Cupertino.

As bring your own device (BYOD) infiltrates SMBs' IT strategies, Google's Android operating system (OS) is becoming more widely used at work. There are productivity gains in its wide range of apps, so it is fast becoming an option for firms that don't want to spend a fortune on mobile devices. The low cost of Android smartphones compared with those running other OSs such as BlackBerry's is one attraction, and their lead in the consumer market ensures they are familiar to many users. But BlackBerry is still most prominent in the workplace as many CEOs are worried about integrating Android into their businesses because of concerns that it is insecure. With 99% of malware created for the OS, it's important that if Android is adopted, a clear internal strategy is in place. Apps ecosystemAndroid can be easily customised to provide some interesting and useful enterprise applications. "There is a huge ecosystem of productivity applications and software readily available for Android, as well as native support for Java based sites and improved security measures," says Ernest Doku, Product Relations Manager at price comparison firm Uswitch Communications. "The OS is fast becoming a good bet for those businesses looking for a stronger infrastructure and fewer overheads," he adds. In addition to the choice of apps, surfing the web is often easier on an Android device than a BlackBerry, and there is often less lag time when using instant messaging apps such as Skype on Android. But it's difficult to leave behind what is familiar. BlackBerry is still thought of as the business staple, and the Balance software on the new BB10 operating system allows a partition to be created between work and personal applications and data. BB10 provides tools for delivering work apps to mobile devices, solving many of the issues associated with the BYOD trend. At the moment, Android does not have the equivalent to Balance but, if managed properly, the OS can be partitioned using third party software so that work and consumer apps and information remain separate. David Emm, Senior Security Researcher at Kaspersky Lab, says: "Android can be attractive because it is so easily customisable and if you have the software in place you can partition it." He adds: "There is nothing intrinsically insecure about Android OS, it's the open strategy." Android partitioning In addition, enterprise users will soon be able to partition Android in the same way as BB10 using Knox software, which Samsung announced at Mobile World Congress in February. The company is hoping to take on BlackBerry and bolster the adoption of its Android devices in business by offering a more secure version of the OS, which separates business and personal information on smartphones. The Knox software runs a security enhanced version of Android, which has been developed by the National Security Agency (NSA), and users get enterprise-focused tools such as email, browser, contacts, calendars, file sharing, collaboration, CRM and business intelligence applications. Whether a business decides to use Android, BlackBerry or Apple's iOS, the security measures are crucial. "When you have confidential business data you need to make sure it is secured," says Emm. A well planned strategy is needed, involving measures such as remote wiping if a phone is lost or stolen, and a code of practice for employees that includes rules on multiple use. "If you haven't thought about what would happen if a device is lost or stolen you could run into more problems," Emms says. Effectively it's about management. "You create sandboxing, looking at what is on there if, for example, you lost a device. You can then remote wipe it. That's attractive to companies as they can wipe a phone." With tightening budgets, BYOD and a business requirement for advanced capabilities, it is likely that many SMBs will look to Android as a mobile OS, especially with the signs from Knox that more secure software is on the way. BlackBerry could struggle to maintain its lead in the enterprise. Doku says: "As the Android market continues to expand and iOS bleeds into the corporate space from consumer popularity, BlackBerry may have a tough task on its hands remaining relevant in the SMB space." Once there a security strategy in place, Android can provide benefits to many SMBs. "Android has the benefit of flexibility but you must have a strategy in place," says Emm. There is one more twist to the plot, with BlackBerry's recent indications that it is working on a secure workspace for Android and iOS apps on its phones. This could make it a little harder for the business user to decide which of the two they should choose.  | Official Facebook app finally accepts Windows Phone 8 friend request Jul 1st 2013, 21:08, by Michael Rougeau 
The official Facebook app for Windows Phone has finally arrived. The app, titled Facebook 5.0, is available now through Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 app marketplace. It's the first official app from the social network to make it onto Microsoft's mobile OS, but the 5.0 indicates that it includes improvements made in previous iterations on other platforms, like iOS and Android. Only third-party Facebook apps were available on WP8 handsets until now, and the official app looks like the only one without any glaring shortcomings. Go figure. This is not a testThe Windows Phone 8 Facebook app brings an altered look and functionality exclusive to the OS, fitting well with the tile-based aesthetic of Microsoft's mobile UI. It was available previously in beta, and that beta Facebook app is still available in a separate listing from the official Facebook 5.0. Word is the Facebook beta app will host new, untested features that may eventually make it into the official WP8 app. Both apps are available now for Windows Phone 7.5 in addition to Windows Phone 8. Microsoft used its Build 2013 conference last week to announce that the official Facebook app would arrive shortly alongside a new Flipboard app. - Stumped by Windows Phone 8's relative lack of apps? TechRadar compiled the best Windows Phone 8 apps in one place for your convenience.
   | HTC One Verizon pictured, maybe, as Droid DNA price plummets Jul 1st 2013, 20:27, by Michael Rougeau 
A photo of what just might be the HTC One Verizon emerged from the bowels of the internet today. The photo's mysterious appearance, at the start of July, could be a sign that the long-awaited Verizon version of HTC's beloved flagship really will arrive this summer as Verizon promised. Infamous leaker @evleaks sent the image above skittering across Twitter with the simple label "HTC One, for Verizon." In this photo the phone appears only in silver, though other finishes may be available when the One launches on Verizon. It's coming"It's coming - the HTC One will be available on the #Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network later this summer," @VZWnews, the official Verizon news handle, tweeted last month. Is it a coincidence that the price of Verizon's HTC Droid DNA was slashed (via Android Community) the same day that the Verizon HTC One photo leaked? Maybe, but even so it could indicate that the One will replace the DNA on Verizon's wide-reaching 4G LTE network. 
The DNA on Verizon can now be had for just $49.99 with a two-year contract, and though Verizon says it's for a limited time only, it's likely the carrier wants to move as many DNAs as possible before the One launches. Last in lineThe HTC One is already available on Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile, the other major U.S. carriers. TechRadar asked Verizon whether they had any additional comment, but a spokesperson for the carrier pointed us toward the aforementioned tweet and reminded us that they don't comment on rumors or leaks. TechRadar originally gave the Android HTC One a full five stars, praising its sleek design and innovative camera, among other things.    | Apple sidesteps paying taxes, but not anti-trust accusations in Europe Jul 1st 2013, 20:17, by Lbrown 
Back in May, it was reported the European commission was looking into alleged anti-competitive practices Apple may have engaged in to push the iPhone. At the time, a series of questionnaires were sent to retailers asking whether or not Apple convinced them to participate in such behavior, and included questions about purchase agreements. Now, a little over a month later, French anti-trust group Autorite de la Concurrence is digging deeper into Apple's potentially harmful practices. According to French paper Les Echos, the authorities searched numerous Apple offices, wholesalers, and retailers in an effort to uncover the truth behind possible anti-trust violations. NappletismThe whole issue was raised when EBizcuss, an Apple retailer in France, went bankrupt last year, prompting the company to file a suit against Apple with claims of "abuse of economic dependence" and "unfair competition." EBizcuss' issue with the Cupertino company stemmed from a perceived favoritism for its own proprietary Apple stores, which left secondary retailers allegedly without product or scrambling to offer competitive pricing. Whether or not the French authorities will find any conclusive evidence Apple's own stores were the first to get products remains to be seen, but the accusations are clearly being taken very seriously. As if Apple wasn't drawing enough unwanted attention over the anti-trust issue, the iPhone maker is also now drawing the ire of the U.K.'s tax collectors, as it somehow managed to avoid paying any taxes last year whatsoever. iLoopholesDespite earning £68 million (US$103.6, AU$112.1) during the last fiscal year, the Financial Times reported Apple paid a grand total of zero in taxes in the U.K. Just for some comparison, Apple paid out £11.4 million (US$17.3, AU$18.8) in taxes for the 2011 fiscal year. In order to avoid dropping so much wasted money on taxation, Apple reportedly granted millions in stock awards to its employees, all of which was 100 percent tax deductible. Apple is already under scrutiny for its practice of funneling 80 percent of its international income into an Ireland-based subsidiary, where the tax rate is a mere .05 percent. While not illegal by any stretch, the lengths to which major corporations like Apple will go to save a few million a year is quite impressive. That said, it likely won't earn any favors should more of these anti-competitive complaints come to light, or should any of the accusations be found to be true.    | In Depth: How to make the ultimate Story Album photobook with the S4 Jul 1st 2013, 16:21, by Your Mobile Life 
The danger of the digital-age is that all the incredible photos we take reside on our phones and cameras until the end of time. Samsung knows this, which is why the Samsung GALAXY S4 has such a stunning, Full HD Super AMOLED display measuring 5-inches – absolutely perfect for showing off your snaps. Some photos, however, deserve something special; something a little bit more polished than just a bunch of digital pictures. Sometimes, it's nice to have a book of photos; one you can share digitally, or easily have printed. Meet the Story Album app on the Samsung GALAXY S4 1. Take photos on your GALAXY S4
The first step to creating a stunning Story Album is to use striking images. The GALAXY S4 sets you up nicely, with its 13-megapixel sensor and an array of smart shooting modes. Choose Drama shot for movement captured in a still, or HDR for a deep, atmospheric shot. 2. Import pictures to your GALAXY S4
Pictures don't need to have been taken on your GALAXY S4 to make it into a photo album. In fact, if you're lucky enough to own a pro-sumer camera like the Samsung EX2F, you can import photos taken on it to your Samsung GALAXY S4, either using a cloud service like Dropbox, by inserting your camera memory card into your GALAXY S4 or transferring the images using your PC. This is a great way to infuse your Story Albums with blurred backgrounds and slow shutter speed shots you can only really achieve with high end, dedicated cameras. 3. Choose your theme
The versatility of the Story Album app comes in the form of its themes. With six in total, odds are, you'll find one that represents the pictures you've got. Collage is a light, breezy theme which fades pictures into others; the Scene theme is a neat, gridded picture book while Scrapbook is fun, with a home made look and feel. The Gridded theme is clean and slightly more formal; Puzzle places pictures in hexagons and positions them across the page for a novel look, while the last theme, Snap shot floats pictures in the centre of the page, giving high quality snaps the space they deserve. 4. Choose and edit your front cover
Once you choose your theme, you can see a preview of your Story Album by tapping the front cover of your picture book preview. It's worth noting, you'll get to play with photo positions later, so don't get too weighed down with misalignment here. To edit your front page, tap the option titled 'Cover image'. This lets you choose which image to use for the cover. Once you select your image, you'll be given your first chance to reposition a picture. Using simple finger dragging and pinch to zoom, you can frame your front cover to perfection. Given the fact Story Album uses white text when overlaying images, it's worth picking a cover shot with a dark area to lay behind it. 5. Caption pages
Some pages will have text boxes displaying the date pictures were taken. These are acquired from the photo's metadata, so may be wrong or, more to the point, may not be the best use of that space. If you would rather insert your own caption, or the correct date just tap the text. This takes you through to a text entry field. Here, you can write whatever you want – though bear in mind, long entries may be cut short. 6. Edit album for viewing on the S4
Once your album is captioned, you can align your pictures for viewing on the Samsung GALAXY S4 in portrait mode. If you're creating a Story Album specifically to print, you might want to skip to the next step. When viewing Story Album in portrait mode, single pages are displayed, taking advantage of the whole screen. When viewing the app in landscape mode, Story Album instead displays a two page spread, which is also the orientation used when printing your photobook. To adjust a picture's positioning, just long-press it. This will then let you frame it by dragging it around or zooming into it. To shift its position, drag it where another picture sits – this swaps the two pictures' positions. You can also tap on a picture to add a hidden caption. This won't be visible when printing, but you can see it when thumbing through on the phone itself. 7. Edit album for printing
Editing for printing is a similar affair to that described above, with just a couple of caveats. First of all, as with printing any bound book, there's a portion in between the pages that is interrupted. The rule of thumb for a graphic designer is 'never place a face or text across a spread', and you should take heed. Heaven forbid, your Happy Birthday was missing a B or your aunt Sheila was missing an eye! The second thing to note is that images that don't have a border pack more punch. These images are what's known as a 'full bleed' images, and should be chosen carefully to give your Story Album that bit more oomph. 8. Viewing albums on S4
Once you've edited your Story Album for your Samsung GALAXY S4, you might as well enjoy them to the max. The coolest thing about viewing Story Albums on your S4 is Air View. We mentioned how to create captions for specific photos; hover over these photos with Air View and these are displayed in a pop up bubble. Tapping a photo will also show it off in full screen view, coupling traditional photo viewing with a rich photo album experience. 9. Order a photobook
The great thing about the Story Album app is that it's a one-stop shop. You can create an album and have it printed without even turning on a computer or leaving the house. To print an album, just open one up, tap the menu button and select 'Order photo book'. The next step will be to choose your size and cover type. These include 5x5 or 7x7 paperback, or 7x7 hardback. Priced around £8.20 to £19.50 for a 30 picture Story Album, the rest is handled by Blurb, the guys who partnered with Samsung to create this incredible app. 10. Exporting images
Want to share your Story Album by email instead of, or in addition to printing? No problem. Just open an album you want to share, tap the menu button, then select 'Share via'. The next menu presents you with three options – share image files of each of the pages, share a PDF document of all the pages or share a Story Album file. Sharing the pictures is the best way to share specific pages, with the following menu prompting you to select pages you want to export. To share the entire album, just select PDF file, and if you're sharing to another Samsung GALAXY S4, select the 'Story album file', or '.ssf' option. The .ssf file is particularly great as enhanced features like Air View accessible image captions are also supported. There you have it - our top tips for creating a stunning Story Album – Samsung's masterful combining of cutting edge tech with good old-fashioned scrapbooking. Enjoy the app and be sure to check out our Samsung GALAXY S4 Camera Guide to get the best pictures possible for your Story Albums.    | iPhone 5S to support superfast LTE-Advanced? Jul 1st 2013, 16:04, by Hugh Langley 
The iPhone 5S, which we're expecting to arrive later this year, may support 4G LTE-Advanced if rumoured negotiations are to be believed. South Korean carrier SK Telecom is said to be in talks with Apple to release an iPhone capable of LTE-Advanced speeds, which a source speaking to The Korea Times believes to be the iPhone 5S. "SK Telecom is approaching Apple to put our LTE-A technology on the upcoming iPhone 5S," said an anonymous SK Telecom executive. "We are in the middle of negotiations." The upgrade could see the iPhone 5S achieve downloads that are the double the speed of current, though only the South Koreans will be able to reap the benefits for the time being. Speedy... for someSamsung pulled the same stunt just recently, with its LTE-Advanced Galaxy S4 going official last week after SK Telecom announced it had launched the world's first 4G LTE-Advanced network. With the UK and most of the rest of the world currently without any running LTE-Advanced networks, it's unlikely that we'll be taking advantage of the greater speeds soon. Still, having both Apple and Samsung on board could prove a catalyst for a global rollout, so if a super-speed iPhone 5S does surface, we'd expect to see LTE-Advanced make its way around the world before too long.    | In Depth: Top 10 peripherals for your GALAXY Note 8.0 Jul 1st 2013, 15:44, by Your Mobile Life
