Perhaps Apple has set a personal record: the latest beta version of its mobile operating system, iOS 6.1 beta 5, "lived" all day. After all, today officially released the final version of iOS 6.1, which can be installed on most apple gadgets right now.
For Russian gadgets significant updates, according to most Apple, only two: the ability to download songs from iCloud separately for subscribers and the new iTunes Match reset button identifier advertising. 2 more important changes are not available in all countries: first, to support more devices become network operators LTE 4th generation (subject to availability of LTE-module, of course), and, secondly, in the U.S. Siri learned buy movie tickets through Fandango service .

On the device, Sony middle segment called Sony Xperia C5303 HuaShan we learned in mid-December last year due to service images Google, Picasa. Then the network was a photo taken of the device camera, giving us reason to believe the presence of his 5-megapixel camera. And then, finally, the smartphone was photographed live in Germany, so now we can evaluate and its appearance.
The first thing that catches the eye when looking at the device - a high level of resemblance with the flagship of Japanese company presented earlier this year at CES 2013 - Sony Xperia Z. One of the most notable of borrowing is probably the round button on the side of the unit.
Also reported that the Xperia C5303 HuaShan receive HD display with a resolution of 720p, though unknown diagonal and dual-core processor (most likely from Qualcomm processor with a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz). Wait for the official announcement of the smartphone is the next month at the exhibition MWC 2013.
Since more and more popular acquire smartphones with screens of 5 inches and more with FullHD resolution, many users are faced with dilemma: abandon the use of the flagships or suffer disadvantages to using the main functions - calls. The company HTC, which announced the world's first smartphone with a screen 1080p, offers a creative solution.
Featured Today HTC Mini - neither more nor less than Bluetooth-headset in the form of a mobile phone with highly advanced features. Sure, you can say that such devices on the market for many, but it is a Taiwanese manufacturer has made the gadget is not just a headset.

In addition, HTC Mini even be able to help find the device, if you have lost it among things.
Of course, on the other hand, the mobile device to mobile device management is reminiscent of progress for progress, which is a user innovation to the detriment of the simplicity and ease of use. But perhaps it's just a matter of taste.
About whether or not the HTC sell the gadget separately while it is not known, but at least the Chinese buyers smartphone HTC Butterfly can find it bundled with your device.
About that, when will be released an update for your device running a mobile operating system from Microsoft to release Windows Phone 7.8 there were a lot of rumors, but until recently was not known to the official start date of distribution updates. Apparently, this happens for 30 January, and the first WP 7.8 will camerawork Nokia Lumia 900.

Development efforts for the integration of mobile devices and desktop operating systems are commendable. Creator of Ubuntu, Canonical, aims to offer the convergence of desktop and mobile devices in one. This means that when you attach your smartphone to a second display, and additional sources of input (eg, keyboard, and mouse), you get a desktop computing experience.
This may be the holy grail of mobile computers for people who are always on the go, because it can reduce the dependence on data synchronization in the cloud or carry multiple devices. Ubuntu announced its own mobile operating system as a contender against today's current mobile operating systems - namely, Android, IOS, BlackBerry and even Windows Phone - they have one significant advantage, namely the possibility of choosing an operating system (Ubuntu and Android) at boot device.
This possibility was announced early last year, before MWC in 2012. The project "Ubuntu for Android" lets you choose between Ubuntu and Android, provided that the hardware side devaysa strong enough.
But do not bet on that official smartphones that support the "dual-boot" soon to hit the market, because Canonical want to release the first smartphone running alone Ubuntu. "We plan to follow our original plan - to release a smartphone that will have a high-performance components to run Ubuntu as a desktop system operitsionnoy when the smartphone is attached to the dock," said Richard Collins, in an interview with Engadget.
Given that Canonical will have to negotiate with device manufacturers, as well as mobile operators, we may have to wait about a year. So, if you want to be able to have a Ubuntu-mobile and get a chance Ubuntu Desktop, you have to wait until 2014 - then there will be some official device.
