The mobile smartphone world is now hot and is growing at a steady rate and the growth rate is overtaking the PC growth rate. One of the key items in a modern smartphone is the processor which powers the phone. There are many companies making mobile processors like Samsung, Qualcomm, Texas Intruments, and many more. One of the similarities that there manufacturers all use in common is the architecture it is on. Most off the companies are using the ARM architecture but some companies like Apple choose to develop theirs based on their own architecture design aspect. Currently most smartphones this date are rocking the ARMv7 architecture which include the cortex A9, A15, A5 and many more. Now it seems like the ARMv8 is ready to meet with smartphones and AMD is going to be the first to use this new architecture.

If you can't wait for the update to use the keyboard there is always APK files.

Nokia Patent Might Be The Reason Why The Multiple User Feature On Android 4.2 Is Not Supported By Mobile Phones

On Monday Google officially announce the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10 and those two new nexus devices are the first tablet and phone to run the latest version of android, Android 4.2. Android 4.2 brings some totally new features to android and one of the feature is the multiple user features which allows your tablet to have multiple user support, so you can share your tablet amongst few people. This feature in particular only works on android tablets running android 4.2 so the phone is left without this feature. But there could be a logical explanation behind this. This might be because of Nokia's patent which Google might infringe in adding the multiple user support on mobile devices. 
A mobile telephone is designed to be used by several different end-users at different times. A first end-user can alter the mobile telephone so that it operates in a manner specific to that first end-user and a subsequent end-user can alter the mobile telephone so that it operates in a manner specific to that subsequent end-user; each end-user has only to respond to prompts displayed on a screen in order to alter the mobile telephone so that it operates in a manner specific to that end-user.
But this problem can be solved by Google paying royalties to Nokia like what Apple did so they can use the huge library of patents Nokia owns

Windows 8 Store Now Home To Over 10,000 Apps

Today a new report shows that the Windows 8 store is now home to over 10,000 apps and at the rate it is going at now 500 apps are added every single day. This number is expected to go even higher as adoption for Windows 8 is growing and more and more developers are coming on board. I won't be surprised to hear if the Windows 8 store reaches over 100,000 apps early next year as Steve Ballmer said that by next year there will be over 500 million windows 8 devices sold.

Google Play Store Has Now Over 700,000 Apps, Finally On Par With The App Store

Yes, the day has finally arrived, Google has announced that the Play Store is now home to over 700,000 apps and that is a major achievement for them. Also the Play Store has finally reached the point where it is on par with the total amount of apps on Apple's app store. The main reason why the Play Store could reach such phenomenal amount of apps in a short period of time is that the apps which are published are not processed by Google. Well we can also say that some of the apps on the Play Store are not having good quality and does not take full support of the hardware. But all in all Apple still reign in the amount of iPad/tablet apps which is exceeding 275,000.
