Dramatically improve the iPhone 5's WIFI performance
As a business traveler, I seek out WIFI hotspots where I can but am often disappointed by the actual performance. WIFI performance is highly dependent on the strength of the signal and often the entire WIFI for a location is dependent on one lonely router in a cupboard somewhere. Imagine my excitement when I learned about a cool new case called Linkcase from Absolute Technology. It is a case for your iPhone 5 that has a built in Electromagnetic Waveguide antenna.

Rumors about the iPhone 5s and its release date
As the unveiling date of the new Samsung Galaxy SIV get’s closer, we have started to hear rumors about the next iPhone. Now the team over at iMore believes that the next iPhone (the 5s maybe?) will be released in August, which matches up nicely to other rumors we have heard. In the last year, Apple seems to have moved away from a predictable release pattern which makes an August release possible. By allowing itself to have a flexible release cycle, it can respond to Android challengers more quickly and prevents customers from holding off from buying an existing phone (because the next release isn’t know, most won’t wait).
Why you shouldn't buy iCloud storage
Manufacturer specific cloud storage solutions are a bad idea. If you buy iCloud storage, it won’t work with your Windows PC or your wife’s Android device. This is the message Drew Houston , Dropbox’s CEO, shared with the audience at the Mobile World Congress. He highlighted the danger of getting locked into one manufacturer’s cloud storage solution (which won’t run on devices from any other brand). Houston talked about a user being able to store a file in the cloud and share it with any user regardless of their consumption device (Blackberry phone, Windows desktop or phone, Android device, etc).

Windows blue doesn't exist... Or does it?
Windows blue is expected to be the next major release of Windows (Windows 9 maybe). As expected, Microsoft denies everything but rumors has said the project has hit milestone 1. For Windows blue, we are expecting 2-3 milestones before the first customer preview. So far the project seems to be on track for a July/August release. The speculation started mid-2012 when a ZDNet writer, Mary Jo Foley, announced to the world that Microsoft was already at work for the next release of windows.
Blackberry converts from iPhone and Android users
Even though many of us aren’t interested in buying a Blackberry Z10 phone, we are cheering Blackberry on and hoping this is the lifeline they need to rebuild their business. As soon as we heard promising sales figures (in Canada and the UK), the naysayers jumped in and started trumpeting the lack of supply as the justification for sellouts and not excess demand. Now we learn that half of the buyers of the Z10 in Canada are migrating from competing products (1/3 of UK buyers).
