Forget about streaming services like Hulu Plus and Netflix, what about if you want live TV? Apps like SlingPlayer do a pretty good job of broadcasting your TV content, but it requires some sort of internet connection.

It hasn’t been 20 minutes since I published a post about iOS 5 likely to take a stab at the jailbreak community that Apple may have already claimed its first victim. Its name? MobileNotifier, the exact same app we reviewed and praised this morning.
After spending 8 months working on MobileNotifier, Peter Hajas announced on his blog minutes ago that he was “taking a break from MobileNotifier and Widge for a while”. Simple coincidence, or did Apple made him an offer he can’t refuse? Read More
On the 1st of January, I published my annual predictions for the iPhone for the coming year. In there, I mentioned that 2011 was going to be the year of iOS, and even though we have yet to see what Apple is cooking up for us, it seems that I was right about that point.
My 2011 predictions for the iPhone didn’t stop there. On top of dropping a few features I think the iPhone 5 will sport, I also made the bold statement that Apple will open the doors to a world of apps and tweaks that are currently only available in Cydia. Want to call me crazy? Not so fast… Read More

A few days ago, a story broke that several British journalists had been contacted by Apple’s iPhone PR team in regards to WWDC. The marketing team reportedly urged the journalists to make the trip to America’s west coast to attend the event.

There has been a huge increase in iCloud gossip over the last month or so. The music industry has been a fairly leaky faucet throughout these final weeks of Apple’s rumored negotiations. We’ve now heard that 3 out of the 4 major music labels have agreed to Apple’s iCloud conditions.
Though these extended talks have kept the Cupertino company from being the first to market, it’s reported that their choice of acquiring the proper music licenses could take them to the top. If that’s the case, then what could be so special about Apple’s cloud service? Read More
TidySpring is a new jailbreak application that brings easy springboard customization to your iPhone. The tweak is pretty simple and straightforward.
After installing the app from Cydia, you will have to go to the Settings app as TidySpring doesn’t come with its own icon. From there, you will have loads of options to turn on and off in order to customize your springboard the way you want it. But don’t just take my word for it, check out the video below to see TidySpring in action… Read More
Notifications in iOS have always sucked. Let’s be honest, whether you’ve grown to actually like and/or tolerate Apple’s system for push notifications on the iPhone, you still have to look at other platforms like Android and Palm OS and scratch your head.
Apple got one thing right: making sure you see your notifications in iOS. The problem is that there is no method of queuing, collecting, or saving notifications. When something gets pushed from an app, you have to deal with it right away.
Luckily, we have the jailbreak community to thank for several wonderful alternatives to the stock system of notifications in iOS. My favorite is called MobileNotifier. Let’s take a closer look… Read More
A major downfall [to some users] in iOS devices is the lack of expandable memory. In fact, that’s generally one of the first things an Android-toting user would mention in a debate between the 2 popular breeds.
The iPhone comes in a 32GB, but that may not be enough space to lug around all of your files and media content. While even feature phones sport card readers nowadays, Apple has yet to include them in their lineup. So what if you want information on your SD card on your iPhone? Read More
