With iOS 4.2 release day right around the corner, there are a few things that you need to be reminded of. Most jailbreak veterans out there probably know this by now, but I'm worried that the jailbreak novices will make mistakes they might regret sooner rather than later.
The Dev Team just posted an update on their blog about what to expect, and most importantly about what to do and what not to do. Here is a quick summary...
Voice messaging through the Heytell app (download free in the App Store, also available on Android) is quickly becoming my preferred medium of communication. It combines the convenience of text messaging with the personal touch of phone calls. And it's a much safer alternative to texting if you're on the road or in a hurry and need to leave a message for someone.
Heytell takes out all the legwork of dialing numbers, waiting through rings, listening to the voicemail, and then finally the beeeeep! Instead, just select your contact, record your message, and they'll receive a notification a message is waiting for them to check at their convenience.
Heytell isn't new, but I just recently discovered it. I'm assuming there's others out there who don't know about it or would like an explanation of how it works before trying, so if that's you, read on!
Medieval, created by Briskmobile, is a castle defense game in which you must force the opposition to say “uncle!” by either blowing their castle to kingdom come, completely slaughtering their oncoming troops or by stealing their flag.
You control a huge bow on top of your castle and you must shoot arrows at the advancing forces. The enemy will come at you with everything they have: knights, soldiers, balloons, catapults and etc. You have to defend against them with your bow and army...
A few weeks ago we told you that Verizon was to sell the iPad. It's now a done deal and you an buy an iPad 3G directly from Verizon. To celebrate, big red even created its own custom commercial for the iPad, something that AT&T has never been able to do before.
The commercial is not bad but it's boring. These carriers always take the same angle in their advertising: freedom.
What do you think?
You know CafePress, the online source for custom merchandise such as T-Shirts, mugs, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Yesterday they announced the launch of custom iPhone cases, ready to be designed with your own photos or artwork.
Beginning today, you can shop from a catalog of over 100,000 user-generated custom iPhone 4 cases with thousands of designs, ranging from political to funny to artistic and everything in between...
We've seen our share of guides on how to install Android on the iPhone before. They're not terribly complicated, but they're not that straightforward either. Most importantly, they aren't as easy as installing an app as they usually require a computer to complete the install process.
This is now a thing of the past. With the release of Bootlace 2.1, you can now install iDroid on your iPhone without the need of a computer! All you need is a jailbroken iPhone and a couple minutes of your time...
Does an iPhone-integrated keyboard for your Mac or PC sound interesting? The Korean tech company, Omnio, thinks so.
The WOWKey device is a desktop keyboard that boasts iPhone integration through a built-in dock. This "made for iPhone" keyboard is the first of its kind, offering extensive integration with iOS. This inventive gadget opens up a world of possibilities...
Jay Freeman, better known as saurik, recently gave a TED talk on the philosophy of mobile software. He compared the iPhone's App Store and the jailbreak mentality to how consumers buy and modify cars. He made the case for what he has based his career on: that consumers do not want the software limitations that Apple maintains on iOS.
The first half of saurik's TED talk explains the state of the car industry, and the consumer approach to buying and modifying cars. His comparison is interesting, and it definitely merits his point about Apple's App Store philosophy...
The folks over at TiPB have posted a nice and handy walk-through guide for iOS 4.2 features for iPhone, detailing all the new features expected in the latest iOS rollout, due this month (maybe as early as this week?)
While it's not a major overhaul, there are several features iOS 4.2 is bringing that enhance the user experience - especially for iPad users. So which 4.2 features are you looking forward to getting the most on your iPhone?
I love non-distracting wallpapers. Both on the iPhone and desktop, I like my wallpaper to not overwhelm my focus every time I look at it. I'm always looking for simple, pretty wallpapers that I can use on all of my devices.
Recently, I stumbled on Hector Simpson's "Redefined Desktop Collection." This free wallpaper pack consists of three different designs for multiple desktop resolutions and the iPhone...
This article is the first of a series of quick tips that will be especially helpful to iPhone beginners. In this series, we'll go over some iPhone basics to make sure our new fellow iPhone owners get the best out of their device. Today, our quick tip is about being able to have Internet access while flying.
Many airlines now offer in-flight wifi, which is a great way to kill time during a long flight. When boarding an airplane with a phone, you are required to either turn it off or activate the airplane mode, which basically turns off the iPhone cellular, wifi, bluetooh, and GPS to avoid interfering with the aircraft.
But did you know you can still enjoy Internet access while still on airplane mode?
I'm not a gamer so I'm hardly ever impressed by any video game. But wow, this trailer for Infinity Blade is in its own category and definitely stands out from what I've ever seen on the iPhone.
There is no indication about when Infinity Trailer will be released or how much it will cost, but this non-gamer can't wait to get his hands on it. Check out the video below to see the full trailer...
