Galaxy S5 Note 3 with Android

Samsung is apparently getting closer and closer to releasing its first software versions based on Android 4.4.3. The first devices to get an Android 4.4.3 build from the Korean company are going to be the Galaxy S5 and the Galaxy Note 3, it seems.

 That would make perfect sense, given how these are right now Samsung's flagships in their respective market segments. According to a purportedly leaked internal document, the Android 4.4.3 updates for both Snapdragon and Exynos versions of the Galaxy S5 have been finalized and are due out before the end of this month. In the case of the Galaxy Note 3, development has reached the final testing stage. If all goes well, the new bits should be ready to roll out to users sometime in July.

 Previous such leaked documents surfaced last month, when the Galaxy S5's update was still being worked on. Now that it's finalized, the guessing game begins - which will be the first territory (or carrier) to get Android 4.4.3? One thing to note is that the document pictured above has some odd font differences in it, which may indicate a bad Photoshop job. So do take this with a pinch of salt. Further complicating things is the fact that Google has just released Android 4.4.4 to its Nexus devices, a version that seems to contain a pretty important security fix.

That iPad split-screen

Split-screen functionality may soon be heading to an iPad near you.
One developer spotted a piece of iOS 8 code that would allow users to
 open two apps side-by-side, at the same time.

the iPod Touch-inspired iPhone, but given Mr. Lin's track record these images are some of the more credible ones. Lin confirms the 4.7" screen for the Apple iPhone 6 and notes that the antennas are still external. The new rounded corners improve the grip but the matte aluminum finish may be slippery. Jimmy Lin holding up the Apple iPhone 6 To compensate for the taller device, the Power key has been moved on the right side. Also, it seems that Apple will be abandoning its dual-LED flash. Unfortunately, there are no technical details about the phone so we still don't know the resolution of the 4.7" screen.
