LINE reaches 100 Million users
Just over 19 months ago if you asked someone “Do you have LINE” they might think you’re using some tricksy slang for drugs (probably heroein). But now, after domianting the Japanese markets and being one of the leading contenders with other messaging apps such as: WhatsApp, IMO, KaKao Talk, etc..

What do you get when you cross apps with a groupon-like discovery model? Wurlpool.
Having made their appearance last night at the Tech Cocktail event I began to wonder, could Wurlpool be an app developers best friend? Maybe. Let’s walkthrough how it works.. Users receive instant updates of new app giveaways as push notifications. (this is the same type of notification you get when: someone texts you, a new email arrives, or facebook notifies you that someone just tagged you in a pic from that crazy party last friday night) Users are then able to ‘enter to win’ these otherwise premium apps. Users are shown...

Does size matter? Phones. Tablets. and ‘Phablets’
It seems like just a couple days ago I was talking to with a friend about how awkward the iPhone 5 feels to type on compared to the iPhone 4 or 4S. Sure a bigger screen is cool and all, but when you change the size of a device like the iPhone by the height alone – something just feels out of place. When we look at phone’s in the 5-inch+ range there are some fairly interesting things to be aware of. “Phablets” (as they’re being coined) has predicted shipments of 60.4 Million in 2013 (according to IHS iSuppli). This is the equivalent to a 136% year-over-year growth on...
