Microsoft updates Next Lock Screen app on Android

Microsoft just updated its Next Lock Screen app for Android. The app now lets you lock the smartphone with a PIN or pattern and it disables the home button press to prevent any accidental unlocks. This Android-exclusive app also now supports three languages (English, Spanish, and Chinese or Mandarin, to be specific). Of course, it comes with the usual bug fixes and performance optimization.

Leaked images of iPad case points at 12-inch variant

The rumour that an 12-inch iPad will be introduced has been going round for a while. Now, a new leak is pointing at the possibility of this device. French publication Nowhereelse published a set of pictures from a Chinese catalogue that show a protective case that could only fit a 12-inch tablet. There was a comparison image that shows that it really could be for a bigger iPad. The top and bottom of the designs are different from the iPad Air 2 cases, while the rest of the button and camera placements remain the same.

It has been rumoured that the new iPad Air Plus or iPad Pro (as it has been called) will have four speakers (two at the top and two at the bottom), which could explain for the different case design.

Google tipped to make some apps on Android One be data usage free

Google’s Android One initiative is aimed at bringing Android phones to low-end smartphone market in emerging countries. It doesn’t come as a surprise then that they reportedly plan to make data use free for certain apps on Android One devices. This means certain apps on Android One devices won’t consume allocated data from plans they are subscribed to. With data coverage sometime unreliable and expensive for emerging markets, this could be a smart move for them. While this “zero rating” concept isn’t new though, it could change the game up a bit if they offer it for popular apps like Facebook or WhatsApp. In India, they are reportedly working with Snapdeal and Flipkart to make this happen.
