Lo and behold, just two months after the launch of Windows Phone in China it has captured greater market share than iPhone has occupied for last couple of years.  Not much time has passed since Windows Phone started to gain market share in the UK, and a few days ago we saw a rise in its market share in some European countries  as well but now it looks to be doing the same in the world’s largest market too i.e China. This is a pretty interesting worldwide trend and will be a source of serious concern for Apple.

According to various blogs,  Apple intends to release iOS 6 to the developer community at WWDC in June. Among other exciting features, iOS 6 is expected to contain Apple designed factory maps application which will replace the Google Maps program running on iOS since 2007. The application interface will be pretty similar to Google Maps but is expected to be much more user-friendly.  Other than that it will include Siri APIs and will probably be released together with a totally revamped version if iTunes in the form of version 11.

Amid all the news and rumors circulating in the android community, this is the best that could be of any interest to an iOS user. Apple has released a bugfix update for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch,thus increasing the firmware version to 5.1.1. The update takes care of some outstanding issues that either went overlooked or debuted in 5.1 which meant that they didn’t went much testing hence the reason for the bugs in it. These bugs include the ones involving HDR photo taking and AirPlay video playback.

Well, like it or not my fellow Android Legion, but Google’s market giant namely Android OS has a history of having quiet a number of malware infestations. Newest in the line is “NotCompatible“.

File sharing through Bluetooth has been a feature from the time Bluetooth enabled phones started to surface. Although iPhone, iPod Touch(from the iPod Touch 2g) and the iPad had Bluetooth from the start,  OBEX file transfer protocol was never officially supported. The Bluetooth profile can only be used to pair audio headsets or speakers.

There are a lot of mainstream apps that are not yet available on Windows Phone. And while I cringe at the thought of this, but unfortunately Talking Tomcat is also a very mainstream app. My feelings for this game aside, the app is one of the most popular ones on Android and iOS and has gained world wide recognition. There really isn’t much to this game; it repeats what you say in a funny (subjective opinion) voice. More over you can beat the crap out of the cat and feed it milk. Sounds fun, no?

Nokia N9 might have been abandoned by its maker but the phone is now rumored to receive its third update, PR1.3, before the start of June. N9 got the PR1.2 update only a few months ago which brought a host of new features as well as bug fixes. PR1.3 will not be as big an update but according to Nokia it is still a critical update. Not a lot is currently known regarding the features or bug fixes this update will bring.

Stay tuned for more information on this update.

You saw a glimpse of it a few months back, and now the time for the actual app is almost here. Wazapp is a community made version of the popular IM client WhatsApp for Nokia N9 and N950. The application has been in development for quite some time but finally the dedicated developer community for Meego has been able to come up with a decent unofficial version of WhatsApp. Development for this app was started after months and months of requests to WhatsApp developers went unnoticed.
