Upcoming Jailbreak App Allows You to Run Multiple iPhone Apps on Your iPad’s Screen Simultaneously

By Jeff Benjamin on Jun 30, 2011

Don’t you just hate running iPhone-only apps on your large iPad screen? When you enlarge them they look all pixelated and ugly, but when you keep them at normal size, much of the iPad’s screen goes to waste.

Your disdain for iPhone-only apps might soon change if this jailbreak app in development ever sees the light of day.

We’re assuming the tentative name of the app is Polyonix judging from the screenshot, and it allows you to run multiple iPhone apps on your iPad’s screen at the same time… Read More

By Cody Lee on Jun 30, 2011

While some folks mock Apple’s use of words like “delightful” and “magical” in their commercials, others are firm believers in the empowering abilities of the products. Take Mrs. Bligh for example.

Google+ Gets a Web App While Waiting for a Native App

By Cody Lee on Jun 30, 2011

In case you’ve been under a rock for the last week, Google just formally announced its next major product. The king of search engines and pop email services is now hoping to conquer the social networking space.

Google+ launched on Tuesday to a small group of beta testers, and since then has been a popular tech topic. The service looks remarkably like its Facebook competitor with features like ‘Streams’ and the ability to ‘Check In’ to local businesses.

As an avid iDevice user, the first thing I wanted to know was what kind of access I’d have to the service from my iPhone and iPad… Read More

 

Beautiful iPhone 5 Concept Design

By Cody Lee on Jun 29, 2011

It seems like everyone and their dog has their own opinion of what Apple’s next smartphone will look like. While most people believe that the next iPhone will look relatively similar to its predecessor, others feel a more radical change is on the way.

There’s no changelog present in this release either, so it’s only a small update… Read More

 

Making Terroristic Threats Against Apple Will Never Help Fixing Your iPhone

By Cody Lee on Jun 29, 2011

Although I’ve typically had enjoyable experiences with Apple Store staff members, that doesn’t seem to be the case for everybody. I’ve come across several stories where customers have left Apple Stores extremely upset with its employees.

One of the most interesting tales I’ve come across lately was featured in a recent TUAW article. If you haven’t heard the story of Joe Lipari and his infamous Apple Store-Facebook-rant turned felony, you might want to keep reading… Read More

By Sebastien Page on Jun 29, 2011

Samsung requested the same from Apple but the court quickly denied the claim.

Today, FOSS Patents reports that Samsung filed a complaint against Apple before the International Trade Commission (ITC), asking for an import ban against the iPhone, iPad and iPod… Read More

 

The iPhone Turns 4 Years Old Today

By Cody Lee on Jun 29, 2011

A Wedding Filmed and Photographed Entirely on iPhone 4

By Sebastien Page on Jun 29, 2011

No, this is not my wedding, although the location strangely looks similar to where Tina and I got married. I had thought about having the person who married us read her speech on my iPad 2 but I believed it could have been a bit tacky.

What I hadn’t thought about was to get our wedding recorded entirely on an iPhone 4. And that’s what this couple did. They hired professional photographers and videographers that shot pictures and videos of the wedding using several iPhone 4… Read More

By Guest Author on Jun 29, 2011

About a year ago, iOS 4 became available to the public with Apple releasing it to iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G customers. It seems as if many iPhone customers are up-to-date with all of their software, as a whopping 95.59% of Apple iOS distribution by versions are already iOS 4.

Some people are still on iOS 3 – 4.22% of iOS devices in use are still running iOS 3 – but we presume that most of these are original iPhone owners (remember Apple left the 1st generation iPhone out of the picture for iOS 4)… Read More

By Oliver Haslam on Jun 29, 2011
