I learnt about the Flappy Bird few days ago, when I was looking through the Best Vines Facebook page. Since Vine informed me about it, I thought it must be something. Millions are downloading this game to their iPhone and iPads everyday. The game is also available for Android phones and tablets. I tested it on my Kiano Elegance 9.7” 3G and it ran just fine.
The performance of the game is top notch, irrespective of the platform you use. For instance, my Kiano Elegance 9.7” 3G has a 10-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, 1 GB of RAM and quad core Rockchip RK3188 with clock frequency of 1.6GHz. You can find the review of the tablet here, in case you are curious about it.

You can download the game from here. The game is available for free on iOS, Android, and will soon made available on Windows Phone. It takes only 800 KB, so it should fit on the smartphones of all generations.

On December 31, 2013, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published series of 43 new patents to Apple. Among those patents, the most noteworthy was the one for micro SIM smart card, which reveals Apple’s plans to get this SIM card standard even after winning permissions for a different standard despite protests by Nokia.
More than a year-and-a-half has passed since Nokia and Apple battle over the future SIM cards for mobile phones. Despite Apple winning this war, thanks to European Telecommunications Standards Institute’s approval, Cupertino giant is all set make changes.
Patently Apple states,
In one variant, the first substrate is compliant with a Mini-SIM physical specification. In other variants, the first substrate is compliant with a Micro-SIM physical specification.
They say that Apple is changing the dimensions once again for its micro SIM 3GG card for which it just won a patent. Apple credits Tang Tan, Jason Sloey, Jared Kole, and Naushad Zaveri as the investors of its patent which was originally filed in Q2 2012.
