The Great Game for philosophical hegemony in this post-historical epoch continues to unfurl. Yes, that's right — smartphone market share figures for Apple and Android have been updated. It appears that in the last quarter the natural order was restored, with iPhone dominating US sales again, according to one survey, and dominating worldwide shipments, according to another.

To unlock all of your phone's potential, you'll need to root it.

Smartphones are meant to make our lives easier--or at least more connected to people we want to communicate with--so why does typing on them sometimes seem on a par with performing root canal surgery?

Since the advent of the first modern smartphone--arguably the original Apple iPhone in 2007--the power of these mobile computing devices that also happen to make phone calls has advanced by leaps and bounds.

History may look at Android as the tech industry's Helen of Troy: The OS that launched a thousand suits.

With Apple preparing to talk about the future of iOS at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and the rumor mill churning, it's time for an old tradition: the iPhone feature wish list.

Roll out the welcome wagon, Android fans: It looks like you'll soon have a new place to shop.
