Posted: 27 Jul 2013 08:10 AM PDT

If you don't know, Apple managed to win the Harris Poll's Brand of the Year award in three different categories with tablets being one of them. Yes, Apple iPad was selected as the winner for the tablet category. However, according to a data by Trend force, Apple iPad is losing its grip in the market. The iPad has fallen to the lowest point in the global tablet market during the second quarter this year. Apple revealed earlier that iPad shipments fell drastically to 14.6m from 17m.

MediaTek Announced World’s First True Octa-Core Processor

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 07:46 AM PDT

Looks like MediaTek has some more announcements to make. A few hours back, we reported that the company is working on a Triple-SIM technology that will allow users to use three SIM cards in one handset. Today, the company announced the world's first true octa-core processor. When we hear about "Octa-core" the first thing that comes to mind is Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa, but in that chip, only four cores are active at a time. The same is the case with other manufacturers who claims that the chipset is "octa-core". However, this is not the case with MediaTek's true octa-core. The company says that all the eight cores work simultaneously with maximum performance and efficiency.

Android 4.3 Has A Hidden Permissions Manager

Posted: 27 Jul 2013 06:45 AM PDT

It has been a few days since Google released Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. One of the hidden features that many Android users may not have noticed is the permissions manager – App Ops. The feature is hidden by default but it can be enabled either from within the device or by using a third party application. I think it is something similar to the privacy feature in iOS that allows users to fine tune app permissions to access your contacts, camera app, photos, etc.
