Ever wanted to share a webpage from your iPhone to another iDevice or to a friend's iPad who is sitting in the same room? Now you can with CoBrowser by Collect3.
CoBrowser allows your iPhone to download an entire webpage images and all to your iPhone and then share it via Bluetooth to any other iDevice such as an iPod Touch or iPad. The nice thing is the other devices don't even need to have an internet connection because they pull it from your iPhone directly.
If you know me well at all, you know how much I love the jailbreak app SwitcherPlus. My infatuation with that app is well documented. The reason I like it so much is because it adds real value and benefit to the iPhone experience by making the task switcher more usable and intuitive.
Well, DirectControl is a lot like SwitcherPlus, that is, if SwitcherPlus went on a crash diet and lost like 100 pounds. In other words, it takes one feature that SwitcherPlus does well, and offers it to you in a single tweak. Does that make DirectControl any more or less compelling?
Slice it! , created by Com2uS, is a game that initially stirred up my attention by the iTunes App Store ratings. The current version has 106 ratings at 5 stars with 9045 ratings at 4.5 stars. Those are some pretty impressive stats aren't they?
I can't remember the last time I saw an app with ratings this high and would love some recommendations of other games with these kinds of ratings!
Anyways, Slice it! is a puzzle game that puts your Geometry skills to the test. I must admit, in High school I hated Geometry and barely did enough to get by, but don't worry! You won't be doing any Pi x Radius calculations but you will find yourself planning ahead and visualizing your strategy to achieve the most amount of stars possible...
It took Apple 2 months to approve SkyFire but it only took them a few hours to pull the plug on this app that converts Flash content to HTML5. SkyFire was released this morning in the App Store but it's already been taken down, for unknown reason.
If you look for SkyFire in the App Store right now, you're probably going to get the same result as the screenshot above.
Why do you think SkyFire was taken down?
UPDATE: We now know why SkyFire is not available anymore...
Although I'm not a developer, I have been able to play around extensively with iOS 4.2 on my iPad. Let me just reiterate the sentiments that it is indeed worth the hype. With new features like AirPlay, it's understandable that that ability to switch your fonts in the Notes app is playing second fiddle to all of the other enhancements.
Although iOS 4.2 is right around the corner, Apple has been one-upped with the release of the jailbreak tweak, NotesFont. Not only does this tweak bring the ability to change fonts in the native Notes app, it offers a lot more fonts than what Apple is planning to offer...
It's here folks. SkyFire is now available for download in the App Store. It was supposed to be released on Thursday but I guess Apple couldn't wait to provide us with a Flash content converter.
In case you just woke up, SkyFire is a new application that will take Flash content and convert it into HTML5 so you can view it on your iPhone. As we said before, SkyFire won't be able to convert all Flash content. Hulu videos for example won't be able to be converted.
You can download SkyFire in the App Store for $2.99. If you do, please make sure to leave a comment and tell us all about it.
With the release of an advertisement dissing the iPhone 4 and AT&T's network, you can pretty much squash any idea of the iPhone appearing on T-Mobile's network anytime soon.
The video clip purposely takes Apple's infamous "Mac versus PC" ads, and flips the script. It features an attractive female claiming to be a MyTouch4G, while a guy struggling to support another guy on piggyback claims to be an iPhone 4. Let the hilarity ensure...
Of course the guy riding piggyback is the AT&T network, which is putting a burden on Mr. iPhone, hence slowing him down. Brilliant! The woman then touts the MyTouch's video-chat-anywhere capabilities -- courtesy of T-Mobile's 4G network -- all the while poking fun at the fact that FaceTime for the iPhone 4 only works while connected to Wi-Fi.
Obviously, all of that means nothing to us here at iDB, seeing as a simple jailbreak will allow you to use FaceTime anywhere you receive a cellular signal. Still, the ad is quite amusing, and gives Apple a nice dose of their own medicine.
Slower network or not though, at the end of the day, the MyTouch4G is still, unfortunately, a MyTouch4G.
What did you think about the ad?
So, 30 seconds just wasn't enough for you decide whether or not you liked the latest Miley Cyrus record? Have no fear, the iTunes Store Team understands your needs for good, unadulterated, bubble gum pop... they've got your back.
Apple recently sent out a notice informing label representatives that they will be bumping up the music preview time in the United States by a whopping 60 seconds. That's quite a lot when it seems like most songs these days are about 3 minutes of hook, and about 30 seconds of lyrics...
Just how useful can a ruler app be on the iPhone's 3-inch screen? Well, I guess it's pretty useful if you have an occupation requiring you to measuring a kitten's pinky toes. And who doesn't love measuring a kitten's pinky toes?
If you need to measure anything of significance though, you'll probably just want to stop being ridiculous and grab, you know, a real ruler...
I can't say I'm a big fan of Sudoku, but Big Bad Sudoku Book has piqued my interest due to it being one of the first iPhone Apps in the App Store that touts full support for iOS 4.2. If that's not proof that iOS 4.2 is mere hours or days away, then I don't know what is.
Although iPhone users running iOS 4.1 already have access to Game Center, remember that our iPad toting friends currently do not, along with many other features like multitasking, and folders. If Big Bad Sudoku Book's latest App Store approval is any indicator, I'd say that the wait is just about over.

Consumers rarely have the opportunity to see what life is like for the people that work in large factories around the world. However, some light has been shed as of late on what life is like behind the smoke stacks of certain industrial giants.
Foxconn, the manufacturer that Apple contracts to make iPhones, has been under the microscope lately over employee suicides. Recently, Gizmodo got an exclusive look at Foxconn's factory in Shenzhen, China. The article focuses on the living conditions for the 420,000 workers...
With the release of iOS 4.2 just around the corner, everyone is wondering when and what kind of jailbreak we'll be getting. Even though LimeRa1n and GreenPois0n can't supposedly be patched without hardware modification, the risk of getting a tethered jailbreak still remains.
Comex brought up a bit of clarification about the iOS 4.2 jailbreak in a series of tweets. There is some good and some bad news...
