Fullscreen.me is an interesting service that allows you to create iOS web apps that run in fullscreen mode. You can create little web apps through mobile Safari using Fullscreen.me's website interface.
This is nice if you have a lot of websites that you visit on your iPhone, and you don't want to have to navigate through Safari tabs to try to view them all. You can instead create little icons on your home screen of all your favorite sites...
App Switcher Brightness is a new jailbreak application - or rather a tweak - that adds a brightness slider to your iPhone app switcher. If you find yourself constantly changing the brightness of your iPhone screen, then App Switcher Brightness will most likely be a right fit for you.
Instead of having to go to Settings > Brightness, you can simply double press the home button to launch the app switcher, flick to the right to have your iPod controls appear, and your brightness control is there...
Many of us jailbreakers know how frustrating it can be to debug the modifications we make to iOS. When installing an app in Cydia, if the app requires it, Cydia gives you a prompt to restart your springboard.
There are two types of restarts you can have on your iPhone: a hardware restart and a software restart. A hardware restart takes considerably longer, and it is when you see the Apple boot logo (or your own, modded logo). A simple software restart usually does the trick for installing new packages on your iPhone, and it also helps with ironing out the bugs you may be experiencing...
Vacation Mogul by Alawar Entertainment is a time management simulation building game for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. In the beginning of the game you learn that you must save up money to reclaim a house that your disappeared sister used to own, but is in danger of being taken by your uncle’s greedy lawyer. However because you are short on cash, you have to complete missions and save enough money to buy your sister’s house.
Each mission has goals in which you must build hotels, recreational facilities and achieve a certain weekly cash flow to pass the mission. Example of the goals would be like building 2 hotels with a weekly income of $10,000. These goals slowly become more difficult as you progress through the story, but there is no time limit for missions, so you can go as fast or as slow as you want...
The developer of the popular Cydia app Wi-Fi Sync has confirmed that the current desktop versions are completely compatible with iTunes 10.1. Some are holding off due to the hopeful release of an untethered jailbreak, now that iOS 4.2.1 is right around the corner.
No iOS 4.2 for us today, unlike many sites were wrongly reporting, mostly based on a rumor that started as a joke. Instead, Apple released iOS 4.2.1 GM to developers.
iOS 4.2 should have already shipped to the general public but a last minute bug pushed out the release. We're likely to see iOS 4.2.1 released to everyone sometimes next week...
I'm not a gamer at all but I can certainly appreciate a good game when I see one. Rage HD, a first-person shooter from iD Software (the creators of Doom and Quake) is one of those.
Rage HD is an on-rails shooter where the character moves for you while you control his field of view, pointing and shooting at your enemies with an insane range of weapons.
Enough with the talking, let's have a look at Rage HD in action...
Google Docs users rejoice as you're now going to be able to edit all your Google Docs documents, right from your iPhone (or any other mobile device for that matter). Simply pointing your iPhone to http://docs.google.com/ will take you to the mobile version of the site.
I think it's worth noting that you're only going to be able to edit documents. You will not be able to create new ones, at least for the time being. Have a look at the video below. It's actually pretty impressive...
You gotta love America, the land of freedom and entrepreneurship, a land where anyone can be an overnight success and make the headlines. But America is also the land of lawsuits. 17 year-old Fei Lam is just about to know both the fun side and the not-so-fun side of being an entrepreneur in the US.
This kid form Queens, NY has been selling white iPhone 4 conversion kits using parts he acquired directly from a source close to the Foxconn's iPhone factory in China. Selling from $135 to $279, these kits have made Fei Lam over $130,000 in the last few weeks. Everything was doing fine until he received an email from a private investigator...
A new social network startup has been getting lots of attention over the past few days. I say "social network" with hesitation. Path is a San Franciso-based startup with some high profile employees from the tech industry. Dave Morin, the former senior platform manager at Facebook, is the company's CEO. Shawn Fanning, the co-founder of Napster, is also heavily involved in the project. Kevin Rose, of Digg fame, is an investor.
Don't let the attractive and mysterious woman in Path's web banner fool you, you won't find her on Path. In fact, you won't find many people at all. Because Path only lets you have 50 friends...
The guys at BoxWave know you're dying to get a physical keyboard on your iPhone so they came up with a nifty little accessory called the Keyboard Buddy Case.
The Keyboard Buddy Case is a case for your iPhone 4 that also includes an integrated slide-out Bluetooth keyboard. Unlike the Nuu, you just have to slide the keyboard to make it appear, just like you would on one of those Android phones.
Looking at the pictures, I have to admit that this thing doesn't look as bad as it sounds...
Let’s face it, we all have our minds in the gutter sometimes. But just how deep in are you? Do you have a dirty mind or are you an angel?
You might think your mind is clean, but the only way to really find out is by taking The Dirty Mind Test...
