Reminders in iOS 5 is Apple's kick in the teeth for all those To-Do apps that litter the App Store right now. A walk through the App Store will reveal more To-Do apps than you can shake a stick at, but Apple's own Reminders app does pretty much everything you could ever need in iOS 5.
There's one Reminders feature that Apple hasn't made a very good job of promoting. You can use iCloud to share and sync your reminders and tasks with other people...
Oh Samsung! You're making this easier and easier to call you out on your plagiarism of Apple products.
We've seen our fair share of images showing how Samsung goes out of its way to become an Apple copycat, but this one might be the most interesting. After adding Apple's App Store app icons to its own company stores, Samsung is now using screenshots of the iOS Maps app into promotional documents...
Anyone that's been following our videos, knows that Springtomize was one of the most popular. Springtomize is the tweak that allows you to customize virtually every aspect of your iOS device, and that's literally no exaggeration.
With the release of iOS 5, developer Filippo Bigarella has gone back to the drawing board and basically rebuilt Springtomize from scratch.
It's coming, and when it does, we'll have a full video walkthrough in tow. In the meantime, check out this teaser trailer for Springtomize 2...
This weekend marked the first time that Sprint was ever able to offer Apple's popular smartphone to its customers. The carrier's been waiting for 4 years now to gain access to the coveted handset.
But even though the new iPhone helped the company set a single-day sales record, the weekend launch didn't go as smoothly as planned. Several Sprint subscribers have been complaining about the device's 3G browsing speeds...
Those with memories spanning more than a few weeks may remember all the rumors going around that Apple was trying to buy Dropbox. The original story claimed that an $800 million deal was on the table, but the people at Dropbox decided not to sell.
Today we have confirmation that Apple did indeed want to acquire Dropbox, and more specifically, Steve Jobs himself personally lobbied for the purchase. Dropbox decided that selling to Apple wasn't the best course of action at the time.
The revelation comes as Forbes profiles Dropbox and its two co-founders, Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi. Understandably, the Apple buyout came up, and Houston admits that the syncing and backup company turned down a nine-digit figure from Apple, and even got a visit from the man himself, Steve Jobs...

Singer Jonathan Mann decided to record a duet with Siri, Apple's newest AI interface in the iPhone 4S.
Siri is known for her attitude, and this duet demonstrates just how much of a heartbreaker Siri can be...
If one of the first thoughts to your mind when Newsstand was revealed at WWDC was: "I'm never going to use that", then this tweak is for you.
NoNewsIsGoodNews is a jailbreak tweak from Ryan Petrich that completely removes the Newsstand folder from iOS 5 installations.
Inside, I go hands on with NoNewsIsGoodNews, and I also showcase the much talked about Newsstand folder glitch...
In an interview with Mashable's Ben Parr, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo shared some interesting statistics. He said that iOS 5 has caused a massive spike in signups for the social network.
According to Costolo, signups via iOS have tripled since iOS 5 was made available to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users last Wednesday. Add in the hugely successful iPhone 4S launch on Friday, and you have a lot of people plugging their Twitter credentials right into iOS...
Even though it was initially met with some criticism, Apple's newest handset hasn't had any problems flying off the shelf. Yesterday morning, the Cupertino company reported that it sold a staggering 4 million iPhone 4S units during opening weekend.
Not only did the three day sell-a-thon set a company best for Apple in handset sales, it also helped US-based carriers like Sprint and AT&T set single-day sales records. And it looks like the smartphone's unprecedented run is only just beginning...
We talked about Siri, Apple's new voice-controlled digital assistant, for months before it actually arrived. We didn't even get confirmation that it existed until a week before its release, yet it feels like we've been hyping it up forever. For good reason, too.
When before have we been able to talk to a piece of technology in that all-so-awesome Star Trek kind of way? The way we've been dreaming about ever since someone in a lycra suit, (three sizes too small for them of course) first asked a question of a disembodied voice. Star Trek characters often had seemingly real conversations with their computers, and we were oh so jealous.
Until now...
