Chromebooks are still relatively new, and they’re relatively still trying to find their place in the market. Being Internet-only devices, Chromebooks appeal to a very niche group of people. For a Chromebook to be useful as a daily driver, all of your computer usage needs to be purely Internet-based, as you won’t be installing software […] Come comment on this article: Acer Chromebook R11 review Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/6004c88b2a22ac3978e2c365d71c6b77._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/32417115595c8e82418694fc1febb8e0.jpgIt's been a long time coming and now the day Apple fans across the globe have been waiting for has finally arrived: the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are now available for sale in 28 different markets around the world. Preorder availability began on September 9th and according to three of the four major wireless carriers in the US, demand has been impressive. Apple won't announce opening-weekend sales this year, but iPhone 7 preorders with carriers have actually managed to top iPhone 6 preorders two years ago.

Over the past few months, the excitement associated with the idea of Apple stepping into the automotive world blinded many to the myriad of complex challenges involved in researching, developing and ultimately bringing a car to market.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/ea8d74e19b95b222b2e5e19465351c81.jpgFBI Director James Comey, a strong opponent of Apple’s way of encrypting software and hardware, just told us again that covering up that computer webcam with a lid is recommended. That means he strongly believes people can spy on you on devices that aren’t secure. Imagine a world in which the iPhone would run an unencrypted version of iOS. We’d probably have to put fancy camera covers both on the front and the back of the device. Either that or accessory makers would simply sell premium cases that don’t have camera cutouts.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bba0aee4393c473f553c4e358506af88.jpg Portable chargers are an absolute necessity for any smartphones user. Leave the house without one and you know very well that your phone will end up running out of juice at the worst possible time. There's a downside to many portable chargers, though: They're typically pretty big and bulky. The MOTA 800mAh Credit Card-Sized Ultra Small Portable Charge Card is neither big nor bulky — it's a compact 800 mAh charger that adds about an hour and a half of talk time (or several hours of standby time) to any smartphone with a microUSB connector, which is just about every phone out there other than …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/b99ad841029a84967fcb3b09e3102388.jpgSome people usually make the mistake of dismissing certain iPhone features after labeling them as minimal upgrades compared to last year’s model. But then, last year’s model may have brought over minimal improvements compared to the two-year-old device. That’s because Apple likes to build on its past innovations and add new useful features each year, even if some of them may seem unimportant at the time. That's not the case for this year's iPhone cameras. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus cameras bring over significantly improved cameras, and a comparison between the original iPhone and the iPhon…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/7afe0b730f51c9f15df3c2378d707f4e.jpgTwo things are exploding in the mobile world right now: iPhone 7 sales and Galaxy Note 7 units. The former is hazardous to your wallet, while the latter might put your life in danger. Samsung was forced to recall its 2016 flagship phablet after a few dozen units went up in flames. It announced the painful recall just a few days before Apple’s iPhone 7 event, effectively putting a temporary halt to sales. Its best weapon against the iPhone 7 Plus is currently on pause, and it might never recover. And it turns out that Samsung’s fear of the iPhone, and of the iPhone 7 in particular, is what may …

Niantic’s thinking here is that most Pokemon Go cheat apps will require a rooted device, so blocking rooted users would weed out cheaters. However, the best Pokemon Go cheat available on the iPhone still works following the 1.7.0 update. And the best part about it is that you don’t even need to jailbreak your iPhone to make use of it.
