Cell phone service providers know not everyone has Bill Gates’ kind of money and we can’t always afford that $600+ price tag for those premium phones we love so much. Knowing that, companies get mid-range devices, like this newly-rumored Samsung Conquer 4G, to fill the gap. The Android-powered device pictured above is supposedly destined for…
Last week we wrote an article detailing some features iOS 5 “borrowed,” and now we have another example. The new viewfinder feature of iOS 5 allows you to see the photo you just took by simply swiping to one side from the camera viewfiner, a feature clearly taken from Windows Phone 7.
