All About Smartphones

Every week Apple gives an app for free. Most times, these apps are very worthy to have and this week Apple have decided to make the popular Printer Pro app made by Readdle available to download for free.  For those that don't know, Printer Pro is an app that makes it possible for you to print documents on your iPhone or iPad even if the printer is not a wireless printer. If the said printer is a wireless printer, printing from your smartphone is just a tap away. However, if the printer isn't a wireless printer, you would need to install a windows app on your windows computer, and then pair your iPhone with the computer and then print from the printer.   Printer Pro is a great app and I have used it many times so if you're interested in the app, all you need to do is go to the App Store and download the app for free before it becomes a paid app again in the nearest future.  Like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter for more smartphone gi...

This means that the message isn't stored at all. Furthermore, someone can't do a screenshot of the message. If an attempt to do a screenshot is made, the sender would be notified immediately and the message scrambled. Message sent according to the maker are private and encrypted, which means that its not susceptible to sniffing. When a message is receive, you can glide your finger over the message to view what's in the message. Furthermore...

Apple App Store offers more useful apps Than Google Play Store and the reason isn't far fetched.  While we live in an age where software and applications have become more relevant than ever, any smartphone maker that do not have a huge application base in its app store is doomed and would suffer in sales of its devices, this is especially glaring with BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices.  That being said, having huge applications present in the app store isn't only the factor that determines the high adoption of a mobile operating system. What is the point of having over one million apps and 70% are not really useful to mankind? Definitely no point and this why having the largest application in the store is not enough.  Considering Google Play Store and Apple App Store boasting of almost a million apps each in its app store, there's nothing that can't be installed on an Android & iOS device thereby making devices running these Operating Systems m...
