If Apple's litigation team thinks they have a pretty good case against Samsung for violating trade dress, wait until they get wind of this new iPhone-imitating Android device.
While blatant iPhone rip-offs certainly aren't anything new, the fact that a major U.S. retail chain like Sears is selling them is kind of surprising. Even though the device touts some big features, iDB has a pool going on just how long this device remains available...
The jailbreak scene has certainly taken an early liking to iOS 5's new Notification Center. The pulldown menu seems to be the perfect spot to put well-designed widgets that give you useful information at a glance.
Though it's unclear whether Apple will actually allow 3rd party developers to design widgets for the Notification Center, jailbreak developers have already proven its potential. The latest example of that is the new RSSWidget...
TechCrunch has been spilling the beans on Facebook's entire 2011 roadmap over the last few days. It appears that someone inside the social networking company has been sending the site information regarding top secret Facebook projects.
We've already told you about the new Facebook photo sharing app, but some even more interesting stuff has developed since then. Ladies and gentleman, allow me to introduce Project Spartan...
Wouldn't it be nice if you could get some extra mileage out of that one-trick pony Slide to Unlock bar?
That's the purpose behind the latest TweakWeek tweak, and first entry by developer Tyler Nettleton. multislide allows you to open up pre-specified apps directly from the iPhone's lock screen by means of the Slide to Unlock bar.
Although the name of the game with TweakWeek is short, simple, and to the point, you've got to respect the obvious extra effort that went into conceptualizing and designing this handy tweak...
The iOS 5 Notification Center has been getting a lot of attention lately in the jailbreak community. Third party widgets have already been made available that mirror functionality in tweaks like SBSettings. Themes are starting to get introduced for different widgets, and several concepts have surfaced that re-think the look of the Notification Center itself.
We've gathered three of the best Notification Center concepts, and they look beautiful. Let's hope that jailbreak devs will start distributing themes like these for Notification Center in iOS 5...
Would you like to add a little more functionality to your iPhone's Spotlight? SpotURL is a new jailbreak tweak, by Filippo Bigarella, that allows you to visit a website straight from the Spotlight page.
Instead of having to enter a web address in Mobile Safari, SpotURL will let you enter the address right on your iPhone's homescreen. For quick navigation to a web page, SpotURL is about as good as it gets.
While Cydia is a decent hub for all of the available jailbreak apps and utilities, there's no arguing that dealing with the clunky package installer can be a bit cumbersome at times.
For folks that weren't aware, you can manually install jailbreak apps and tweaks without ever opening Cydia. All you need is the .deb file of the package you want to install, and an FTP client like iPhone Explorer or Cyberduck.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to manually install a .deb file on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If you ask a parent, they might call it intuitive. If you ask a musician, they might call it inspiring. To a doctor, it’s groundbreaking. To a CEO, it’s powerful. To a teacher, it’s the future. If you ask a child, she might call it magic. And if you asked a British Lady, she’d say it’s just a hat.
This woman wearing an iPad as a hat was spottted at the annual Royal Ascot, a five-day racing event that has highlighted both British fashion and horseracing since it was first created in the 1700th...
For the first time in history, Apple is now offering factory unlocked iPhones in the U.S. If you walk into your local Apple store, or browse online, you can purchase an unlocked iPhone 4 for operation on any compatible carrier. These unlocked devices start at $649.
AT&T does not currently offer unlocked iPhones in the United States. AT&T has yet to state if it will offer unlocked iPhones in its stores, or if the GSM carrier will unlock previously purchased iPhones.
Judging by the popularity of pasts posts regarding themes, we understand that there's a very strong theming interest in the jailbreak community.
For that reason, we are proud to unveil our new "Themes" page which will be the permanent hub for all of our theme coverage, video tutorials, walkthroughs, and faqs.
We plan to update our theme page with at least one new walkthrough of a popular theme each week, but likely more.

Apple stores are world-renowned beacons of retail success. Their architectural design and aesthetic feel set Apple apart from 99% of the retail market. When you walk into an Apple store, the atmosphere is bright, airy, clean, and filled with happy geeks that are willing to assist you.
