“In an eventual future JB upgrade, LG will introduce Eco-Mode specifically for the Optimus 4X HD which will allow users to manually shut down any of the Tegra 3′s cores for even more control over power consumption and performance.“

It’s difficult for a company to accept blame for a crappy product or service. But it’s also a good PR move to do so, which can help everyone — the company itself, customers, and the media — move on and find a resolution to the issue. In this case, the problem is Maps on iOS 6. Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledges that the company has fallen short on quality, and suggested alternatives while they fix their mapping service.

But reading between the lines, there’s still an attempt to justify their move in Cook’s letter. He says that Apple “wanted to provide … even better Maps,” and that in order to do that, they have “had to create a new version of Maps from the ground up.”
And so, while Apple is working at a better mapping service from ground up, Tim recommends other services, like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, which are available on the iTunes App Store. Then, there are also Google Maps and Nokia Maps, which can be accessed through mobile web.
If that means anything, it’s that Google has not likely submitted its native iOS 6 app to Apple yet, or that Apple has not yet approved it. Otherwise, Tim would have already mentioned that Google Maps was coming soon.
Admitting your mistake is a good move, especially if the aim is to improve the product. With the millions of Apple fans out there, I’m pretty sure Apple will be quickly forgiven, along with the host of other mistakes the company has made in the past. Remember MobileMe? How about Antennagate? How about the “hockey puck” mouse. Let’s not even talk about the Newton!
The question here is timing. Apple took it sweet time — one full week — before publicly acknowledging the issue. Let’s hope they get to really working on an improved mapping experience. Until then, Android users will have a common advantage over iPhone 5 and other iOS 6 users. Our native maps are better!

It’s been a rather slow start for the Jelly Bean update wave for all major Android manufacturers, but several of the big players seem to finally start getting cracking. Things seem particularly promising for 10-inch tablets, seeing as the Asus Transformer Prime has been updated to Android 4.1 yesterday, while the Infinity will be getting JB next week.

Now another 10-incher looks ready to be joining this exclusive club, even though we haven’t heard anything official on the matter yet. Acer is very secretive on the timeframe of the Iconia Tab A700 Jelly Bean upgrade, although several XDA forum members are reporting they’re already enjoying the new buttery smooth OS.
The update is not coming as the surprise of the century, seeing as Acer announced ever since late July that Jelly Bean will roll out to “several tablets soon”, but it’s still unusual to see a tech company get from words to actions in such a straightforward fashion.
That said, you shouldn’t be doing the JB celebratory dance just yet (oppa Jelly Bean style), because there’s a good shot this is only a Europe-bound update. The only A700 users reporting to have gotten Android 4.1 own German or Dutch versions of the tab, so other regions might be left hanging for the time being.

There are also a couple of fellows who’ve encountered issues with the installation and have been unable to go through with it, so caution is advised for anyone getting an automatic prompt message for an OTA update.
As for the few users who’ve managed to install Jelly Bean on their A700s, they are mostly saying good things, as expected. The 332 MB upgrade brings noticeable performance bumps, a slightly tweaked and smoother UI, browser improvements, more photography features, as well as loads of fixes to bugs that plagued the user experience on the 10-incher until now.
All in all, Acer seems to be stepping up its Android game significantly, with two of the company’s tablets now running Jelly Bean, while others are still “working on updates”.
Is there anyone tuning in that has received the Android 4.1 update on the Acer Iconia Tab A700? If so, please tell us where do you live, how did the installation go, and what are the most noticeable changes to your tabs’ software.

Love it or hate it, the iPhone 5 is the most talked about device of the season.
Yes, it’s just a taller iPhone 4S. iOS 6 isn’t what Tim Cook wants you to think it is. Apple Maps is a mess. LTE connectivity has been standard fare for more than a year. Yet in spite of all those shortcomings, the new iPhone is selling like hotcakes.

Truth be told, Cupertino’s latest creation has its strong suits. The iPhone 5 did much better than the Samsung Galaxy S3 in our drop test. It did so well that we walked away with a pretty much intact phone, even after Darcy dropped it four times, the last time from more than six feet.
So, what to do with the slightly damaged iPhone 5? Destroy it, of course.
But first, we decided to do some torture tests, all in the name of science. We abused the new iPhone 5, to see how it would fare in real life. We drenched it in hot coffee. We put in our homemade pocket simulator to see how it withstands the assault of keys, coins, and other scuff-inducing items. Finally, we submerged it in water for 15 seconds.
So, if you wondered if you could use your iPhone 5 without a case, or you just get a kick from seeing expensive electronic devices ruined, check out our iPhone 5 torture test.

The ordeal is not over for that poor iPhone. We pitched it against a car. And a hammer. Stay tuned.
