Daily Tip: How to navigate through your home screens in three different ways New to iPhone or iPad and wondering how to quickly navigate through your home screens, if you have multiple pages of apps and folders? Well the good news is, there are three different ways to do this, which means you’ll likely find at least one that suits you. We’ll show you how, after the break! There are three ways to easily switch between your iPad, iPod touch, or iPhone home screens. The way most common way to switch between pages is by swiping across your home screen from right to left (or left to right depending on which way you need to go). If you have an aversion to swiping, you can tap the bottom right or left corner of the screen, between the bottom row of apps and just above the dock. This takes you to the next screen depending on where you touch it. This way is probably the worst way of getting to different home screens, as it is a little hit and miss. Looking at the bottom of ...

Daily Tip: How to turn off GPS geo-location for iPhone photos, protect your privacy: Curious how to turn-off the GPS geo-location information your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad can store in the photos you take? Geo-location can be a handy feature to keep track of where you took travel photos, but it can also raise privacy concerns, especially if you ever lose your iOS device, or someone decides to start tracking you — or your child — via pictures posted online. iOS will ask you to opt-in to the location for the Camera app the first time you launch it, but if you later change your mind, it’s simple to opt-out of and turn off. Launch Settings Tap Location services Toggle Camera to OFF If you’ve already taken photos with your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad and want to share them but are worried that they might contain location information, you can quickly and easily wipe them clean before posting.

Apple iPhone 4 vs HTC Desire S   The HTC Desire was the most popular HTC device to date, so what's changed with the HTC Desire S and is it better than the iPhone 4? Screen The iPhone 4's screen has been touted as the best out there, with crystal clear resolution and tip top brightness. The display is a 3.5-inch, LED backlit IPS TFT number and offers a higher pixel ratio than any other device. Apple has named this pixel density 'retina display', although it's more technical jargon than anything else. It basically means you won't be able to clearly see any of the pixels. The HTC Desire S's display is Super-LCD and although it's top quality, it doesn't come close to beating Apple's stunning screen Winner - iPhone 4 Camera  The iPhone 3G and 3GS didn't rank very high in the camera stakes, but the iPhone 4 takes this to another level. It's a 5-megapixel snapper and features an LED flash for highlighting those dark moments...

HTC EVO Design 4G review It's no secret that we were downright smitten when HTC dropped 2010's proverbial bombshell: the EVO 4G . A knockout device that served not only as WiMAX's ambassador, but also catapulted us into expansive "superphone" territory with what was then a gargantuan 4.3-inch screen. Since then, however, subsequent EVOs haven't exactly been what we'd call up to snuff. The EVO 3D , while "good," made gimmicky trade-offs that kept it from being the home-run we'd hoped for. And others, like Samsung, who were once an Android wallflower have seriously stepped up their game -- so much so, even Google's repeatedly taken notice. Where does that leave us with this year's EVO Design 4G? With middling single-core specs and a mid-range $100 on-contract price, things aren't exactly looking up for a device tasked with wielding a torch branded with the EVO's name. Does it pass muster as a device worthy of its ancestr...
