iOS lockscreen  for Android with SlideLock SlideLock On iOS, every time you receive a push notification to the iPhone, the screen turns on, displaying the notification right on the lockscreen. No need for the user to touch, interact, or otherwise do a single bloody thing to their phone to view new notifications. All recent notifications are available at a quick glance. When the user should decide they’d like to address one of these notifications, simply swiping on the notification (the same direction you would unlock the phone) will pull up the app. If there’s some sort of security on the device, it’s only after this swipe that you’ll be asked to input your code or fingerprint. Essentially, it’s a lot like having Android’s notification pane always visible from the lockscreen, waking the phone for a few seconds every time you receive a new notification. Sounds like it would be pretty easy to mimic on Android, right? Wrong. Really, it hasn’t been until Android 4.3 that Goog...

Reports are doing the rounds that Google has once again decided not to tinker too much with a winning recipe and will thus be sticking with LG for the unannounced Nexus 6 Smartphone, which is apparently scheduled for a July launch. This time around, we have the folks atGizmodo Germany to thank for the good news, which largely confirms what the majority of us had assumed all along. Some had insisted that Google would tap into its Motorola wing to put the Nexus 6 together, but the smart money had always been on another LG collaboration and it’s looking like this will indeed be the case.

Apple loses bid to ban Samsung devices in US: SAN JOSE:Samsung from selling 23 older-model smartphones and tablets that a jury found infringed on patents held by the maker of iPhones and iPads. A US judge has denied Apple's request to permanently ban Judge Lucy Koh said Apple Inc failed to prove that the South Korean company's patent infringement caused irreparable harm to Apple sales. The ruling came as the world's two biggest smartphone makers prepare to go to court again later this month - this time over Apple's allegations that Samsung's newest devices, such as its Galaxy S III, also copied Apple technology. The ruling stemmed from a 2012 verdict in which a jury agreed with Apple that Samsung had infringed touchscreen features. However, Koh on Thursday denied Apple's request for a permanent injunction to stop Samsung from selling the products, saying she was not convinced those features drove consumer demand. Apple has argued in courts, gov...
