I don't think I've been this ignorant of what's coming software-wise for a keynote since the iPhone one back in 2007. Which is great. I'm super excited about it....Gruber: The one thing I keep hearing over and over again from friends who would know. The one word I keep hearing is that some of the stuff they're gonna show is "polarizing".Moltz:...

Sony still has a lot to prove at E3 2013
Despite Microsoft's messaging missteps of late, E3 won't be an easy win for Sony. Here's what it needs to communicate next week.
Heading into E3, Sony has more to prove with the PlayStation 4 (PS4) than its console-making competition. Microsoft has already shown that, in its quest to take over your living room, the Xbox One will offer more than just upgraded graphics and a new controller. And for good or ill (ill, for now), Microsoft's used games and always-on plans are on the table and it can now mostly concentrate on wowing the public with games. Assuming it has public-wowable games, of course.
Nintendo is actually in that weirdly advantageous...

Eight changes I want to see in iOS 7
What Apple needs to do in iOS 7 is play a little catchup with other devices to bring some of Android's and Windows Phone's best features to iPhones, then add new features to give people more flexibility with the apps already on the device. There's no way of knowing whether Apple has new killer features or apps up its sleeve, but I have some ideas for improving the OS now to make it more attractive for current iPhone users and people in the market for a new smartphone.
A fancy new interface is not enough
The Home Screen hasn't changed much since the first iPhone in 2007, so it's definitely a good idea to refresh the look overall....
LG Optimus G Pro (unlocked)
Debuting at Mobile World Congress, the LG Optimus G Pro is a 5.5-inch device that will launch in Korea this month, followed by a North American release in Q2. The handset is actually LG's third crack at the phone/tablet hybrid niche, after its Optimus Vu and Vu II (the U.S. carrier, Verizon, released the former as the LG Intuition, which received a lukewarm response).
But this phone is more than just another attempt; it shows how the third time can indeed be a charm. Not only does it boast powerful quad-core specs, it also features the more common 16:9 aspect ratio (as opposed to the wonky 4:3 ratio its predecessor had) on a vivid...

Apple's WWDC 2013: Rumors and expectations
Apple's annual developers conference is just days away. Here's a comprehensive guide on what to look forward to.
Apple's 24th annual developers conference kicks off next week, and will be the company's first event in more than seven months.
The conference lasts the entire week, but the highlight is Monday's keynote address, where Apple typically announces new products and services. This year, Apple has only said it will give developers new versions of iOS and OS X software, though there's likely to be a surprise or two.
Expectations are high, in no small part because it's been so long since Apple has released anything new. Its last big...

Camera megapixels: Why more isn't always better
A 16-megapixel smartphone camera sounds great, but an 8-megapixel shooter could still produce better pics.
In a matter of months, the high-end smartphone camera spec rocketed from a respectable 8 megapixels to an altitudinous 13.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 and LG Optimus G Pro are the freshest examples of this megapixel push, but even last January's Pantech Discover (12.6 megapixels), last October's LG Optimus G for Sprint (13 megapixels), and especially mid-2012's Nokia 808 PureView, a 41-megapixel stunner that's worth the hype for photography fans.
Yet even though the technology exists, quality can be just as uneven from phone to...

Samsung Galaxy S4 shootout versus HTC One, iPhone5
Galaxy S4's 13-megapixel camera with settings and modes, but none of that matters if the phone's image quality can't stand up to the hype.
And so, here is a smartphone shootout between the Galaxy S4's top Android rival, the HTC One, and another beacon of smartphone photographic excellence, the iPhone 5.
One important thing to note is that all three phones have very different sensors. The Galaxy S4 hosts a 13-megapixel camera, and the iPhone 5 has an 8-megapixel shooter. For its part, the HTC One has what it calls an UltraPixel Camera, which is actually a 4-megapixel camera.
Although there aren't a lot of other specific details available,...
