25 Things New Android Phone Does That Make iPhone Feel Like It Comes From The 1990s
ZNet's David Gewirtz says there are (at least) 25 things his iPhone 4S can't do that his new Samsung S4 Android phone can.
He says he knew the S4 had a lot more features than the iPhone. But until he started playing with it, the scope of the advancement of the device over even the iPhone 5 wasn't immediately apparent.
Gewirtz affirms that he knows there were no smartphones in the 1990s, but while the iPhone seemed advanced five or seven years ago, using it now, holding it next to the new Android phone, it feels dated, like older than just the last decade.
Going through his list, your editor has to agree that it is in some ways compelling. However, what would be missing would be the Apple user experience and lack of hassle. Gewirtz acknowledges that messing around with his S4 has given him a new hobby he really hasn't time for. A lot of us don't want that sort of new hobby.

TeamViewer Extends Remote Support for iPhone, iPad, And Android Devices From Any Computer
TeamViewer, one of the worlds most popular providers of remote control and online meeting software, announced today the launch of TeamViewer QuickSupport, a new app that makes remote support available for Android and iOS based devices. The TeamViewer QuickSupport app provides the ability to access and troubleshoot mobile devices via TeamViewer software.
The mainstream acceptance of mobile device usage in business has led to some unexpected support challenges. TeamViewer responds to this requirement, providing IT departments with a comprehensive solution that complies with the changed needs, and which helps them to resolve queries and support issues with mobile devices quickly and easily.
The remote support of mobile devices via the new QuickSupport app is available for TeamViewer 8 and requires an additional license. The release is designed e.g. for mobile operators, customer care, IT help desks and system administrators. It simplifies support for iOS and Android devices, making it easier for help desk staff to better serve customers and employees. At the same time, personal users receive the ability to provide remote support to family members and friends who need guidance and assistance.
TeamViewer QuickSupport allows IT specialists to connect to a mobile device and remotely support it from their computer. This can be helpful in various situations, e.g. when a remote user has problems with receiving emails while on a business trip. For accounting purposes and better transparency, the beginning and ending of all remote sessions are logged in the TeamViewer Management Console.
Depending on the manufacturer, different support features are available:
For Android devices, technicians can deliver comprehensive remote support including the ability to remove apps or kill processes on the remote device. In addition, full screen sharing and remote control is available on Samsung, Sony, Medion, Alcatel One Touch / TCL devices.
For iPhones and iPads, technicians can set up and push customized configuration profiles using Apples iOS Profile Configuration Tool to the device, in order to govern user access to corporate software applications and data. This makes it very easy to set up email, calendar, and contact accounts (including Exchange), create VPN connections, or enable restrictions for how the device can (and cannot) be used, over the air.
The following feature highlights are available on both iOS and Android devices:
Chat: Technicians can chat with the end-user to better understand the issue and educate them, without the need to have a telephone call. To get their attention, they can use the nudge feature.
Real-time screenshots: Technicians can request a real-time screenshot from the mobile device very easily. Once a screenshot is captured, the image is automatically sent to TeamViewer on the computer making it easy to share information.
Full access to device settings: The technician can access device settings and configure them, including connectivity settings, e.g. setting up Wi-Fi. They can see running processes and a list of installed apps on the remote device. All information is shown in a clear and understandable dashboard.
System logs: Viewing system information and system logs can help to diagnose issues.
File transfer: Files can be transferred easily to and from the device.
Secure connection: Every remote session is encrypted with the highest level of security, based on RSA private-/public key exchange and AES (256 Bit) session encoding.
The mainstream acceptance of mobile device usage in business has led to some unexpected support challenges. TeamViewer responds to this requirement, providing IT departments with a comprehensive solution that complies with the changed needs, and which helps them to resolve queries and support issues with mobile devices quickly and easily, said Kornelius Brunner, Head of Product Management at TeamViewer.

Depending on the manufacturer, an add-on may be required. Support can be provided from any Windows or Mac computer.
In order to be able to use the remote support of mobile devices via the TeamViewer QuickSupport app, an additional license is required. The costs depend on the existing TeamViewer 8 license. Further information is available at: http://www.teamviewer.com/licensing. For personal users, TeamViewer software is always free of charge.

WritePad Turns iPads, iPods and iPhones Into a Complete Writing Hub
PhatWare Corp. has announced the release of WritePad 6.7 onto the iTunes App Store. A powerful note taking solution, this utility gives users a single mobile hub that mixes together conventional digital text creation features such as text copy, paste, cut and spell checking options among many others with a unique self-improving handwriting recognition system which learns individual users' writing patterns to be able to better assist them. The result is an intuitive writing platform that redefines how users take notes and write documents. Featuring Microsoft SkyDrive integration and a slew of other note saving and sharing options, WritePad 6.7 is currently available for $4.99 - down from its normal $9.99 price tag - in celebration of its recent enhancement for a limited time only.
WritePad brings the functionality of conventional text and document creation software and blends them with the on-the-go usability of a touch based note taking platform. Users don't simply have a novel platform to write a few words and play around with their mobile devices - something that inadvertently happens to most if not all gesture based writing apps - instead WritePad enables them to write as deeply as they want to, regardless of whether that's to take notes during lectures or begin writing papers, business documents, and everything in between. Furthermore, now available with the power to save notes and documents to Microsoft SkyDrive, users can rest easy knowing that their hard work will still be there even if for any reason their mobile device isn't. SkyDrive complements WritePad perfectly, giving users the power to safely store all of their created notes the same place right next to photos and other important documents. SkyDrive is a great cloud storage solution for Android and iOS users, and especially helpful for Windows users, where SkyDrive is a built-in functionality. Saving and sharing via Google Docs, Evernote, Dropbox, iCloud and email are available as well.
Thought is what makes users written content valuable at the end, but technology is what helps them get there as intuitively as possible with WritePad. The app boasts inline gesture, spell checking, context analyzing, and shorthand writing recognition features, all of which work regardless of whether users use their finger, a Bluetooth Pressure Stylus, or their devices' digital keyboard to write. Meanwhile a wide array of text, pages, and ink/ font color editing features offered as part of the app's innovative 'Styles' toolbox ensure users can customize their notes exactly how they want to each and every time. Social media integration gives users the power to share notes via Twitter and Facebook with the click of a button as well. With over thirteen global languages supported, and a handwriting recognition system that gets better and better the more its utilized, WritePad is the perfect solution for anyone who needs a complete writing platform even when they can't bring their laptop with them.
Device Requirements:
(*) Compatible with iPad
(*) Requires iOS 6.0 or later
(*) 44.2 MB
WritePad for iPad 6.7 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
