by Cody on Nov 29, 2011

Between being nearly three years behind the competition and trying to erase consumers’ bad memories of previous devices, Microsoft has its work cut out for it with Windows Phone 7. The platform recently fell below 2% in overall smartphone marketshare.

The Redmond company has come up with a pretty interesting marketing ploy to attract iOS and Android users to its mobile OS: an interactive website. The page fully immerses visitors in Windows Phone’s Metro UI, and here’s how you can access it… Read More

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. That’s the approach BlackBerry maker Research In Motion is taking with its ailing smartphone market. The company has announced that it will be offering an easy way to get iPhones and Android users plugged into its enterprise tools.

The move by the once-dominant force in the business smartphone industry illustrates the relevance that Apple and Google have made in a sector that was almost entirely owned by RIM not that long ago.

Perhaps more importantly, this may well be the first sign of RIM trying to move away from offering hardware, in an attempt to concentrate on the software and security their past successes were built on. Read More

How to Remove the Store Button in the Music App

by Jeff Benjamin on Nov 29, 2011

Apple is really trying to push iTunes music purchases on its customers; evident by the “Store” button located in the upper left-hand corner of the Music app.

I’ve used iTunes before, but the times I do use it are generally few and far between. This means that the Store button located in the Music app is more of a nuisance than a help.

If you’re like me and would like to get rid of it, you should try NoStoreButton, a nifty jailbreak tweak for jailbroken iDevices… Read More

“Change Package Settings” – An Overlooked Feature in Cydia

by Jeff Benjamin on Nov 29, 2011

Have you ever uninstalled a tweak from Cydia, but still found yourself interested in any updates it might receive in the future? Perhaps it’s a tweak that has potential, but it’s just not finished baking yet.

By default, Cydia does not announce changes for a package that isn’t installed on your device. That’s a good thing, because it prevents you from being harassed by tweaks and apps that you have no interest in.

If you’ve found yourself in that scenario, the best thing you can do is to enable a little talked about option that announces updates to a package, regardless of whether or not you have it installed… Read More
