Must Have iPad Accessory: the iArm

by Sebastien on Sep 20, 2010

Here is a must-have accessory for every iPad owner out there: the iArm.

Delta Technology presents the iArm, the forearm mount that gives you, well, an extra arm.  Just 4.5 lbs and fully adjustable, the iArm lets you take your favorite gadget with you.  And with the optional “multi-mount”, you can secure up to three items at once.  Attaches to tablet PCs, eReaders, remotes & more!

Yes, this is obviously a fake… but real. You can get the iArm box for $8. A great idea to fool a friend.

Create Folders Inside Folders on Your iPhone with FoldersInFolders

by Sebastien on Sep 20, 2010

It was only a matter of time until such an app showed up in Cydia. Actually, I’m surprised it hadn’t been done before. FoldersInFolders is a new jailbreak app that allows you to create folders inside folders on your iPhone.

iOS came with this beautifully implemented Folders feature but unfortunately, it doesn’t allow you to add folders inside other folders. This tweak will do the job for you. Video and more info below… Read More

 

iPhone App Piracy Tool IPA God is Up for Sale

by Sebastien on Sep 20, 2010

Last week we talked about IPA God, a new application that could be installed on non-jailbroken iPhones and allow you to download and install cracked apps for free. I was a little skeptical about it at first but after doing more research I realized it was actually a legit (though illegal) app.

Apparently the guys behind IPA God have decided to sell the source code as well as their Twitter account to the highest bidder as they can’t afford to maintain it… and maybe they fear the wrath of Apple’s lawyers… Read More

 

So Much For Meeting the Global iPhone Demand

by Guest Author on Sep 20, 2010

I remember hearing not too long ago that iPhone maker Foxconn was bragging up their ability to pump out 1.5 new iPhones per second. While we knew that meant lousy surroundings for those employed there at least the demand was surely being met, right?

TUAW has a report that highlights Apple’s inability to meet the pre-order demand from the Taiwanese people. Over 200,000 people tried grabbing the new iPhone 4 through pre-order but carriers fear just 1/4 of those will be filled by the years end. That could mean for a lot of angry early adopters… Read More

 

App For Songwriters Comes to the iPhone

by Guest Author on Sep 20, 2010

The days of being a songwriter have undoubtedly changed over time. The times of hunching over a ripped up piece of notebook paper while you ferociously scribble out and add material have come and gone for the most part.

Nowadays many writers I know use their computers for generating new material. A recent app in the App Store entitled Songwriter’s Pad 1.0.1 brings music composition to the middle of your iPhone. With an already successful iPad entry, the app written by Dante Moore offers artists an opportunity to create material with a variety of tools. Read More

 

Napster App Comes to the iPhone

by Guest Author on Sep 20, 2010

I remember it to be about 10 years ago when a few buddies and I used to be huddled over a PC with Napster open. Wasting hours for low quality pirated music never felt so cool.

9 to 5 Mac reports that  you can recapture some of the nostalgic vibe above by adding the Napster application to your iPhone. Once held as the top source for downloading music, Napster has watched its importance come and go since 1999 and is now gracing the virtual shelves of the App StoreRead More

 

Steve Jobs Email About the White iPhone 4 Coming for Christmas Was a Fake

by Sebastien on Sep 20, 2010

Last week we broke the news about an email that Steve Jobs had sent as a reply to one of our readers. The email was about the white iPhone 4 and implied it would be available by Christmas.

I had been “tipped” several times with emails from Steve Jobs but I never published them because they looked really fake. This one however seemed completely legit and I trusted our reader Nathan about the whole thing. I was wrong. Let me explain… Read More

 

What Do You Think About My All Black iPhone 4?

by Sebastien on Sep 20, 2010

I recently ordered a decal for my MacBook Pro from LuckyLabs and they were kind enough to add a few items to my order for free. One of the freebies they gave me is their iPhone 4 Spectra Wrap, which I hurried to put on my iPhone because I thought it would give it a nice touch.

These wraps are pretty cheap. You get 3 of them in the colors you want for $10. It’s easy to install and I do think it looks really good. There’s however a little downside to it… Read More

 

What Features Will Never Come to the iPhone?

by Guest Author on Sep 20, 2010

Reality can suck sometimes. As bad as the truth can be however it is usually almost always best to come to terms with certain aspects of reality. As far as this piece is concerned it’s iPhone’s reality.

We always spend lots of time trying to dig through the rumors when a new iPhone or version of iOS is released and pinpoint the newest features. What we spend comparatively less time on is coming clean on what features we know the iPhone will never get.. Read More
