There have been many keyboard tweaks released over the years, and I've had issues with practically all of them.
iKeyWi is the latest keyboard tweak to make its way to Cydia, but this one if probably one of the more stable ones that I've used thus far.
That's not to say that it's not without a few opportunities for improvement, but as you'll see on video, it's a very good start...
One of the biggest things to come out of the smartphone revolution is the rise of the mobile app. Before Apple, Google and the rest all set about creating their own on-device app stores. Users were left to live a life of boring apps that needed installing via a memory stick or, in the case of some smartphone operating systems, the downloading of executables that needed to be installed manually after fighting through a selection of security issues. Windows Mobile, I'm looking at you.
Apple, along with Research in Motion, began to change all that with a little help from Google. Nokia also got in on the act, before Microsoft finally began to get things right with Windows Phone 7. Apps, as we have all learned over the last few years, sell smartphones. Now, they also sell tablets.
This is all a far cry from Apple's early stance on an 'app store' when it released the iPhone along with its little brother, the original iPod touch...
Are you one of the thousands of users who have transitioned their entire online ecosystem into Apple's iCloud? Did you stop syncing your contacts with Gmail in order to sync with iCloud? Do you want to maintain your address book with iCloud and have the same address book in Google Contacts?
Now you can with a paid application called Contacts Sync For Google Gmail...
Renowned hacker iH8sn0w has released an incremental update to iFaith — the SHSH blob utility for Windows.
The update includes support for the latest version of Apple TV firmware, Tiny Umbrella blobs, and a host of other fixes. Check inside for the full change log, along with a link to our full blown iFaith tutorial page...
Over the last few days, reports have been surfacing that Apple pulled App Store access from iOS devices running iOS 3.1.3 and older. Support forums have been filling up over the past week with users complaining of the problem.
We predicted that the issue was an accident on Apple's part, and not just a way to force users to update their firmware. And it looks like our prediction was right. The App Store appears to have been restored for iOS 3.1.3 users.
It may be nearly Christmas, but that isn't stopping the bad guys from trying to rip us all off, and the latest victim is Apple's MobileMe service.
The phishing method is a familiar one – send an email to a few thousand people, ask them for their login credentials and hope that some fall for it. It's low-tech, but it unfortunately works more often than you would think.
As The Mac Observer writes, customers of Apple's MobileMe service are the latest to receive such phishing emails, with recipients being warned that their iDisks have been found to contain a virus. The way to get rid? Email off your login details, obviously...
After the FCC joined the Department of Justice in announcing its public disapproval of the AT&T/T-Mobile merger last month, we figured the deal was as good as dead. And after a few weeks of trying to find a workaround, AT&T has finally figured it out as well.
As we reported yesterday, the carrier has just announced that it has decided to completely withdraw its offer to purchase the Deutsche Telekom-owned operator. This is obviously great news for Sprint and other small carriers, but what does it mean for T-Mobile?
If you're looking to supercharge your iPhone's Mobile Safari browser, then look no further than Cydia. There, jailbreakers will find a plethora of tweaks to add certain features to Apple's bare bones web browser.
In fact, there are so many tweaks available on Cydia that it's easy to get lost if you're relatively new to jailbreaking, or even if you've been going at it for a long time.
With that in mind, we've put together a list of six of our favorite jailbreak tweaks to get the most out of Mobile Safari...
With Christmas now less than a week away, the deadline for shipments guaranteed to arrive before the holiday is drawing closer. That means that the folks hoping to avoid the last-minute retail crowds are running out of time.
However, those still looking to snag an iPad or other Apple product for that special someone are in luck. The company has just upgraded its free shipping promotion from 2-3 day business day delivery to guaranteed next-day shipping.
Users of older versions of iOS may be left out in the app-less wilderness according to reports, with the App Store seemingly not impressed with users who have not updated their iPhones or iPod touches past iOS 3.1.3.
Apple has always been a strong proponent of users installing the latest version of an operating system, whether that be the latest and greatest release of OS X on a Mac, or the newest version of iOS available. It's a great way of squashing potential bugs and security holes while making sure developers have less OS fragmentation to deal with.
Some people don't want to update, though. Whether it be through a need to have a specific jailbreak work, or their iOS device simply doesn't have the chops to run the latest iOS release, some just do not want to upgrade. Reports have surfaced that devices running iOS 3.1.3 or earlier are unable to download apps from Apple's App Store...
It seems Apple's introduction of Siri to the world of smartphones has had an unexpected affect – it has stopped the ongoing legal wrangle between two competing natural language software development companies. So much so that the pair are now in cahoots.
Both Nuance and Vlingo have been at each other's throats over perceived patent infringement, but the pair are now best buds after Nuance announced that it was to buy Vlingo, the same firm it took to court not that long ago.
The reason for the sudden turnaround? The pair seem to think that they need to join forces against a common enemy, namely, Apple...
iTunes customers have been able to use previously purchased tracks from their music collections to upgrade to a full album for a long time. The feature is called "Complete My Album," and has only been available for music... until now.
Hot on the heals of Apple's international iTunes Match rollout and update last week, the company has pushed out another enhancement to its media store. Users can now complete their TV show collections with a single click...
