Apple I’ve owned an iPhone every year since its 2007 debut. Every one. The reward for such reckless upgrading has been a sense of the iPhone’s evolution over those years.

Whether the Apple TV undergoes a full transformation into something representing the future of television, a number of apps are attempting to take us there today. Live TV and the increasing number of streaming-video apps on iOS present a seemingly unbridgeable gulf, but apps like Dijit’s NextGuide are doing their best to synthesize the experience. Much like TV Guide’s recently …

Despite Sony’s focus on mobile games via the PlayStation Vita, there’s been a second, parallel path in the mobile game front taken via PlayStation Suite. That initiative, now called PlayStation Mobile, was detailed with additional hardware partners and promises of indie-friendly openness at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.

That’s the same estimated delivery time as the 8GB Nexus 7. Since the 16GB …

Editor’s note: The iPhone is 5 years old. Last year, I reflected on my very first iPhone, and what owning one was like before the smartphone landscape had utterly changed…before the App Store…before iPads.

I’ve always been a 32GB iPad kind of person. It’s done me well the last two generations, although I’ve come up against my storage limit pretty frequently. So, this time I’m going 64. Am I mad?
