Just last month we told you about SMSHideKeyboard, a jailbreak tweak that brought iOS 5-like SMS keyboard hiding to the jailbreak scene.
Today we have a similar tweak, but one that has a trick up its sleeve. Going by the name of MailKeyboardHide, this slight variation of SMSHideKeyboard offers the ability to hide the iPhone’s keyboard during the composition of emails.

According to new a figure coming out of in-flight WiFi provider GoGo, Apple’s iPhone makes up two thirds of mobile device usage in the skies. The iPhone’s smaller sibling, the iPod touch, also accounts for a massive 20% of those using a small-screened device to access the internet while in the sky.
It’s not such good news for Google’s Android, however. According to an AllThingsD report, despite there being more different Android devices than there are people on the planet, (perhaps a slight exaggeration) devices powered by Google’s operating system make up a paltry 12% of mobile devices used… Read More
The iPhone 4 has a great camera, which makes it even more frustrating that the Camera app is just so damn slow.
It’s a common complaint. You spot the perfect photograph, but by the time you’ve tapped the icon, waited for the app to load, focussed, and finally hit the button to take the picture, the moment is gone.
IntantCam aims to stop that from happening, and it seems to work… Read More

Finally! If there was a utility that could do this before, I wasn’t aware of it. UShare allows you to copy and tweet your favorite YouTube video URLs from the iOS YouTube app.
Well-known jailbreak developer moeseth submits the utility as part of his TweakWeek run. The popular contest has developers submitting one free tweak a day, for 7 days, and this one in particular is a fine example of the project… Read More
In Apple’s last earnings call, it was announced that 20 million iPhones had been sold in Q3 of 2011 alone. Apple has overtaken Nokia as the world’s leading smartphone vendor, and a recent report also places Apple as the top smartphone manufacturer in the US.
With the iPhone’s seemingly unstoppable growth rate, it’s not a surprise that Apple’s 5 year old smartphone now sees a 141.8% year-over-year increase in market share. Read More
Typically, gadgets are frowned on by teachers and affiliated staff (or as I like to call them, education enforcers). But that doesn’t seem to be the case at Lake Minneola High School in Lake County Florida.
According to the SunSentinel, Lake Minneola will be the first public school in Central Florida to purchase an iPad for every student. The move is part of a state pilot program designed to save money on textbooks, and offer a new approach to education… Read More

It’s taken nine months, but the world finally has the same 90 second iTunes song previews that the United States gained way back in November 2010.
The change-over to the new and improved previews is currently underway, with not all songs yet sporting the full 90 seconds, though we suspect that’s more of a technical thing than Apple only providing longer previews for certain tracks.
Those tracks that have been upgraded now offer previews that are three times longer than the previous 30 seconds… Read More
