FullScreen for Safari Adds Multitouch Functionality to Your iPhone Browsing Experience

by Jeff Benjamin on Oct 18, 2010

Even with plenty of browser alternatives out there, I always find myself going back to Safari.  There’s just something aesthetically pleasing about Apple’s stock browser that keeps me coming back, even though it’s totally devoid of some basic features.

For this reason, whenever I hear about any tweaks that add additional functionality to Safari, I’m all over it like white on rice.  The latest tweak to come out of the jailbreak community is called FullScreen for Safari, and it packs quite the punch.

TouchPad – A Seamless Extension of Your Mac on Your iPhone

by Alex Heath on Oct 18, 2010

There are plenty of apps in the App Store for using your iPhone to remotely control your Mac. I’ve tested plenty of remote apps for the iPhone. Some of them are ok. Some of them are unbearable.

Recently, I stumbled across Edovia Software’s TouchPad app. TouchPad is by far the best, all-in-one remote app for the iPhone…

Have a Peek Into Someone Else’s Life with SpyCams

by Guest Author on Oct 18, 2010

Life’s boring? Have a peek into someone else’s with SpyCams for iPhone or iPod touch. Search, rate and comment on newly posted or popular security cameras from the comfort of – anywhere, for free.

While the app is simple and easy to use, I found myself looking at the same boring screens. One would have to scroll endlessly to find a gem of an exhibition. A lot of the cams show places like streets, offices, empty lots, hotel cams, city and waterscapes…  Read More

 

iPhone Sent Into Space Records Amazing Video

by Sebastien on Oct 17, 2010

This one falls in the “very unusual stuff an iPhone can do” category. A father and his son decided to take on the project of sending an iPhone at 100,000 feet above our heads using a weather balloon while recording the whole thing.

The helium filled balloon went 19 miles high and finally burst before making a 150 mph descent back on earth, where it landed 30 miles a way from the launch point. This is a 7 minute video of the whole 90 minute flight… Read More

 

LockInfo: iOS LockScreen and Notification Panel

by Guest Author on Oct 17, 2010

One of the pitfalls of Apple iOS is the lack of a good notification system. By notification system, I mean a panel where one can view all their notifications in a consolidated panel, much like the notification panel of Android OS.

Instead, we have a system that, with every pushed notification, you get a popup alert, a sound and a badge on the application icon which presents itself as a useless system once you dismiss the popup alert. Once the popup is gone, the risk of forgetting the notification opens up.

LockInfo, by David Ashman, picks up where Apple slacks by providing us with a very useful notification panel that can be set as your lockscreen, your first Springboard page and/or a panel activated by Activator (known as InfoShade). The latter provides Android-like functionality with a panel available from any screen, whether from within an open app or not… Read More

 

ActionMenu Voice Plugin Lets Your iPhone Really Speak Its Mind

by Jeff Benjamin on Oct 17, 2010

Sometimes it seems as if the iPhone truly has a mind of its own, and now with the latest plugin for ActionMenu, your iPhone can speak its mind as well.  Who needs to read all of the time anyway?  ActionMenu Voice plugin gets rid of the need to read by making transcribing quick, easy, and effortless.

Okay, so I was being facetious about the reading part. Reading’s great, in fact we highly recommend it here at iDB, but it is cool to know that the option to transcribe is right at your fingertips.  And you know what the best part about all of this is?  It won’t cost you a dime.

Awesome: Rock Band Performs in the Subway Using iPhones

by Sebastien on Oct 16, 2010

It’s not the first time we see artists playing music on iPhones, or even iPads. Of all those bands playing with iDevices, this one has to be my favorite.
