‘AirView’ Allows You to Stream Media Directly to Your iPhone

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 18, 2011

There’s an old saying that goes like this: “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” Maybe we should update that saying, and change it to: “There’s more than one way to stream video with an iPhone.”

The iPhone features no shortage of methods, workarounds, tweaks, and hacks, both official and unofficial, to stream media content from your computer to your iPhone. AirView is the latest such app that allows you to accomplish this ubiquitous task, but this time, Apple’s very own AirPlay is the means by which it is accomplished.

Think of AirView as the exact opposite of what AirPlay was intended for. Instead of streaming content from your iPhone to your television, you can now stream content from your computer to your iPhone…

Will the White iPhone be Released on February 27th?

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 18, 2011

Take the following information with a nice dose of salt. We’ve all heard these rumors before, but MacRumors is reporting that the mythical white iPhone 4 could see a release as early as next month.

Originally scheduled to launch alongside the black iPhone 4 last summer, the white version has hit stumbling block, upon stumbling block, with still no clear-cut reason for the length of the delay.

Apple has reportedly experienced manufacturing issues with the all white iPhone 4, but it looks like those issues may have been ironed out. That’s right, Best Buy’s computers are showing the white iPhone 4 SKU, with a release date of February 27th, 2011…

‘VideoLock’ Keeps Streaming Video While Your iPhone is Locked

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 18, 2011

If an Apple TV happens to be among your possessions, then chances are you’re a big proponent of AirPlay — Apple’s highly pushed streaming technology.

AirPlay allows you to stream audio or video from your iPhone directly to your Apple TV device. For example, if you’re watching a movie on your iPhone and you get tired of the eyestrain from staring at the 3.5 inch screen, you can instantly stream that video directly to your TV if it’s hooked up to an Apple TV.

A big problem with AirPlay in its current form is that the streaming is halted when you lock your iPhone. VideoLock is a jailbreak tweak that sets out to eliminate this pesky problem…

by Alex Heath on Jan 18, 2011

I love pretty iPhone wallpapers. The Mac App Store recently launched, and I’ve been looking for an app that will easily allow me to create iPhone-size wallpapers out of the hundreds of desktop wallpapers and hi-res photos I already have on my Mac.

by Nick on Jan 18, 2011

There are plenty of ways to access the files on your iPhone, whether through iTunes, SSH, SFTP, iFile, or a multitude of apps. However, adding automatic network sharing to your setup takes quite a few steps out of connecting to your device.

I tried these in an attempt to get my video game media center to read files on my iPhone from inside the network. If you’d like to turn your iPhone into a shared network drive for any reason, there are two particular Cydia packages that you should try today… Read More

Tutorial: How To Save Your iOS Game Progress Before A Restore [Jailbreak Only]

by Alex Heath on Jan 17, 2011

There are a ton of great games to play on the iPhone. Most of them have multiple levels and achievements to unlock. You wouldn’t want to lose your game progress and achievements in the event that you have to restore your iPhone.

For jailbreakers, backing up data is essential. To upgrade to a new version of iOS, a jailbroken iPhone is completely wiped and updated to the default setup of the next iOS release. A new jailbreak has to then be applied, and all personal data (media, contacts, jailbreak apps, etc) has to be synced back onto the iPhone.

Through the magic of SSH, you can save your iOS game data on your computer in the event that you have to restore. Here’s how to do it…
