I’m out of the office today but here’s today’s daily Tech fix.
Apple’s mission to cut the cables out of your life continues. The tech giant recently filed a patent application that outlines a wireless hotspot, but not like you know it: instead, any devices in the area would get charged. Is this tech headed to the iPhone 6?

Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas has spared no expense – though perhaps much common sense – in crafting the most extravagant and ridiculous case for your iPhone. Not only does his line of i.am+ foto.sosho cases add a ton of extra bulk to your Apple smartphone, but each one also looks like a camera and adds some rather unnecessary features too.
Nike is not getting bored and is continuing to monitor your fitness with some brand new Nike+ Training and Basketball iPhone apps. Buy the Nike Lunar trainers and track your fitness. The shoe manufacturing company have also released a Basketball app letting you measure just how high that slam dunk goes.
The Samsung DA-E750 is a wooden hi-fi music system which uses something called vacuum tube technology, a pair of glass fibre speakers and one powerful subwoofer to deliver music of up to 100 watts to your ears. If you own a Samsung Galaxy S3 simply pop it into the holder and you’re away. Same goes for Apple owners.
O2 owner Telefonica has unveiled a new app called TU Me that lets users make free calls, send free text and audio messages and photos using Wi-Fi and your phone network data instead of using up your inclusive minutes in what is sure to be direct competition to the likes of instant message service WhatsApp and Skype.
Shooting games on mobile phones never really quite manage to replicate that console feeling. Aiming down the crosshairs on a mobile phone just feels unnatural. Maybe if your iPhone or Android device looked like a gun, that would solve it, right?
Anyone who has ever dropped their Apple iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S will already know just how badly its glass exterior can cope with a nasty fall. With this in mind we draw attention to Nissan. The car company has developed the Nissan Scratch Shield iPhone case.
We’ve seen it been released on the Android platform and now its just launched on the Apple iPhone making it downloadable direct from the App Store. Plus, Apple can reveal that an iPad version will follow soon.
No re-design for the new iPhone.
I personally like the appearance of the iPhone 4, I think it looks attractive and stylish. The sort of phone you’re not afraid to get out in public. Apple have taken this into consideration and my thoughts and others are that we will not see a re-design but more of an upgrade to the internal side of the phone. We’ve previously seen this with the Apple 3G, then the 3GS. Both have the same design but tweaks to the internal side of the smartphone.
Your camera will be getting an upgrade too, rumour has it that Sony will be supplying the camera for the new iPhone 5 and it could feature 8Mp and the capability of shooting in full HD.
Other news suggests that the iPhone’s storage capacity will be boosted up to 64GB, which is up from the previous storage space of 32GB. Also rumours show that iOS5 will come loaded with a new cloud-based service will enable you to say documents to the cloud. This will save your storage space says Gadgets and Gizmos.
You will also be able to find NFC technology included on your new iPhone 5 which I mentioned in a previous blog post. Its basically an alternative payment solution that will enable you to purchase various items up to the price of £15 with an easy swipe of your smartphone states Gadgets and Gizmos.
