iOS 6 new features: Maps Apple is gradually severing the ties with arch-rival Google, and there’s no bigger sign of that than the dismissal of Google Maps in favour of Apple’s new vector-based map imaging. Vector- rather than bitmapped-based graphics means street plans remain sharp at any resolution, any magnification. Turn-by-turn navigation introduces real GPS navigation for drivers to Apple’s mobile devices. Apple is also touting 3D maps, giving very detailed ‘flyover’ views of city buildings....

If you can’t access Google Drive or any of the company’s productivity apps, the first thing to check (rather obviously) is that your PC or laptop is connected to the internet. If the browser is up to date and you’ve tried restarting it, and even restarting your PC, you’ll be wondering if Google Drive is down or if the problem is exclusive to your machine. There are three very quick and simple ways to check whether others also have a problem with Google Drive:...

The Jisiwei S+ is sold by GearBest, which exports it from China to countries including the US and UK. At the time of writing you can find it for £150/$200, about half of the original price, but bear in mind you may have to pay some import taxes on it too. That sounds rather expensive for a vacuum cleaner, but this isn’t just any vacuum cleaner. Also see: Best robot vacuum cleaners...

With Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system struggling to boost laptop and PC sales, vendors are reportedly turning to Android. With increasing sales of Android tablets worldwide, laptop makers are turning to Google’s operating system in a bid to rejuvenate demand. The news comes after Windows 8 was largely blamed for a huge slump in global PC sales by research firm IDC. Intel has begun promoting Android-powered convertible notebook-tablet devices despite its Windows focused Ultrabook brand, according to Digitimes which cites insiders at numerous laptop vendors....

Esta situación ha cambiado drásticamente hasta el punto de que los padres y madres del siglo XXI desean saber dónde se encuentran sus hijos o hijas en cada momento y qué están haciendo. Es aquí donde entra en juego el uso de la tecnología si quieres tener cierto grado de supervisión. El uso de los teléfonos móviles por parte de los jóvenes, cada vez con una edad más temprana, y el hecho de llevarlos a todas partes hace posible que podamos desplegar soluciones de seguimiento y rastreo....

It has a built-in stylus, front and rear cameras, a speaker, headphone socket and Wi-Fi (with a kid-safe web browser). It comes with several pre-loaded apps and some demos, and you can buy more apps from the LeapFrog app store. It’s possible to create multiple user profiles so it can be shared between siblings, and games offer age-appropriate material and questions. While there’s no getting away from the fact that the content is American, the UK school system is used for choosing the level in games and apps....

It folds closed like a regular clamshell notebook, and can be opened up for use as a Windows 8 touchscreen laptop – or, you can keep pushing the screen back until it’s revolved 360 degrees, like bending a book right around until its spine cracks....

The set looks presentable enough, with thin bezel, metallic edge trim and stylised ribbon stand. Connections comprise three HDMI (with ARC and MHL support), a trio of USB, SCART, a shared component/composite input, plus digital audio output and ethernet. Wi-Fi is built-in and there are both Freeview HD and DVB-S satellite tuners. The LG 47LB730V model reviewed here is also available in 65-, 60-, 55- and 42-inch screen sizes, so you can’t say you’re not spoilt for choice....

Most flagship smartphones launch at more than £500, and occasionally more than £600 on a SIM-free basis. However, sometimes a device turns up and bucks the trend. One of those devices is the Nexus 5 (and the Nexus 4 before it) and with the LG G2 this manufacturer also followed suit. The LG G2 launched at just £399, so not quite as cheap as Google’s subsidised phone, but a significant amount cheaper than rivals such as Samsung’s Galaxy S4....

The device boasts an impressive Quad HD 5.7in display with an aspect ratio of 18:9, taller than the standard 16:9. It ditches the modular design of 2016’s G5, instead opting for a metal and glass design with non-removable battery, but keeps the excellent dual camera set up of its predecessor. Read on for more information, or check out our extensive LG G6 review. When is the LG G6 release date?...

As one of the first makers of an Android Wear smartwatch, it’s no surprise that we have various models to choose from. The new LG Watch Urbane and Urbane LTE drop the ‘G’ from the name but look very similar. This is strange but nevertheless what LG has decided to do and what’s even more confusing is that the LTE model isn’t simply the same watch but with 4G connectivity....

What’s more, each ‘node’ (each router) in the three-pack device has four Ethernet LAN ports, which means you can hook up PCs, TV set-top boxes and any other devices that don’t have Wi-Fi but do need to be connected to the internet. Most mesh Wi-Fi systems at this price have one Ethernet port, or two if you’re lucky. The Atlas 6 is a dual-band mesh Wi-Fi system, which means that it has 2....

Since most of the developers use the same model name for several different devices, it creates a big confusion. Therefore, to solve the confusion, manufacturers started using codenames for their upcoming handsets. These codenames often then get used in the developer community to make it clear which model they are working on. HMD, for now, keeps its model names clear so, that each model name refers to a different model (they also have model numbers for each variant of a model, but these are generally very close so developers can ignore the differences)....

When is the OnePlus 6T launch? Monday, 29 October 2018. What time is the OnePlus 6T launch? 3pm GMT (11am EDT). Where is the OnePlus 6T launch? Pier 36, New York. What should I expect from OnePlus 6T? Key improvements in the OnePlus 6T include an in-display fingerprint sensor and reduced ‘Waterdrop’ screen notch, but to allow for this the entry price is expected to rise to £499. Less appealing for some fans will be the removal of the headphone jack, paving the way for USB-C audio, but an adaptor will be supplied in the box....

The company has already confirmed that UK mobile operator Three will carry its devices in store and online from 9 November, which means for the first time we’ll be able to buy a Xiaomi phone on a contract. It will also be opening its own Mi outlet store in central London. Also see: Best Xiaomi Deals What will Xiaomi announce in the UK? It’s doubtful that Xiaomi will announce any previously unseen products in London on Thursday, and based on what we know from other country launches it’s probable that we’ll see a device that has recently launched in China....

Aunque gama media suene a “peor”, lo cierto es que no tiene por qué ser así. Al fin y al cabo, el móvil que elijas tendrá que ver con el uso que vayas a darle. En la mayoría de los casos, si vas a darle un uso medio al móvil (es decir, para llamar, usar WhatsApp y poco más), un móvil de gama media será más que suficiente. No hace falta que te gastes mil euros para tener un potentísimo gama alta....

Es algo que los usuarios han sabido apreciar desde los primeros instantes y desde que la marca aterrizase en nuestro país, presentando teléfonos sumamente interesantes con múltiples cámaras y características novedosas como el hecho de utilizar pantallas con gran frecuencia de refresco a precios muy competitivos. Aunque la conexión entre ambas compañías no es tan evidente como en otras marcas, Realme opera como una filial del gigante tecnológico chino y, como tal, puede aprovechar gran parte de la infraestructura de ingeniería y distribución para sus nuevos terminales....
