I used Skitch on my Mac about a year ago when it was really popular, but the image editing tool fell off my radar after I started using more robust apps, like Pixelmator. A lot has happened to Skitch in the past year. The app has actually been bought by Evernote.
Skitch has entered the iOS world today with an official iPad app. The tool lets you edit and annotate images on the iPad with your finger.
A new report from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech today claims that the iPhone 4S is responsible for a growth in market share for Apple's iPhone in both the UK and US, with consumers rushing out to pick up Apple's latest tech.
The situation is not quite so rosy in some of Apple's other European markets, though, with some seeing a reduction in iPhone demand, rather than the usual increase.
It is better news Down Under, however, with Australia seeing strong iPhone demand and the 4S continuing to "fly off the shelf" as we close in on the end of 2011...
pod2g has handed over the keys to his iOS 5 untethered jailbreak for A4 devices (which includes the iPhone 4) to the Chronic Dev Team. In doing so, he hopes to focus primarily on the A5 jailbreak, which covers the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
Since the untethered jailbreak for pre-A5 chip devices is basically finished, this will allow pod2g to get the iPhone 4S jailbreak back up to speed. This is very good news for owners of both A4 and A5 devices, because that means that both are being heavily worked on simultaneously...
Apple's iMessage may be a fine SMS/MMS tool, but as we recently reported, it isn't without its problems.
If you are unlucky enough to find your iPhone stolen or lost, then under some circumstances it is possible that the iPhone can continue receiving iMessages. Even moving your phone number to another handset, changing your Apple ID password, and remote wiping the handset may not stop the problem.
There are two possible fixes, and they are as simple as turning on your iPhone's SIM card PIN and calling your phone carrier...
Sprint on-contract subscribers that are hoping to get themselves or someone special an iPhone for the holidays might be in luck. It seems as though the carrier is offering some of its customers the opportunity to upgrade early.
Popular Sprint blog SprintFeed has obtained an internal memo from the cell phone provider that explains the limited time early-upgrade promotion...
Sometimes the Home button on the iPhone just starts getting a little funky, a little laggy, a bit unresponsive.
Most of the time, those issues are software based, unless of course you've dropped your iPhone in water while feeding your pet fish.
For us non-fish owners, we've confirmed that a simple recalibration is usually all that's needed to fix most issues with the iPhone's Home button. Take a look at our video tutorial inside...
Hot on the heels of the release of RedSn0w 0.9.9b9 and UltraSn0w 1.2.5, the Dev Team was quick at fixing a bug that affected iPhone 3GS owners with older bootrom. This fix comes with RedSn0w 0.9.9b9d which was released earlier today.
If you have an iPhone 3GS with older bootrom and used RedSn0w 0.9.9b9, you can simply run this new version of RedSn0w on top of it...
UnlockFX is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that consists of over two dozen unlock animations to customize your iPhone.
The tweak includes both simple and complex animations that can be altered on the fly without the need to respring your device.

Apple received its first big win earlier this week in its ongoing patent war with Android manufacturers. The International Trade Commission ruled in favor of the iPhone-makers in its patent infringement lawsuit against HTC.
The ITC's decision was expected to have major ramifications for the Taiwanese company because it banned several products from the United States. But as it turns out, HTC may not lose much business (if any at all) due to the ruling...
Reviews of Siri have been fairly inconsistant over the last few months. Some folks are in love with the feature, and others can't stand it. But if there's one thing everyone can agree on, it's that it has massive potential.
Sure, Apple's digital assistant is currently extremely limited — it's still in beta. Remember, Siri is crowd-sourced. It is constantly learning. So it wouldn't surprise us if Apple added functionality to Siri in the not-so-distant future.
With Christmas just a few days away, we figured it would be only fitting to create a wish list of 5 things we'd like to see Apple add to Siri next year...
Today I tried out OpenBackup, a new package backup solution for your jailbreak apps and tweaks. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical. I've had my fair share of experiences with backup tools for jailbreak apps tweaks in the past, and they either don't work, or are overly complicated.
Outside of PKGBackup, I can't really recommend any backup solutions, although I have yet to try iBye (I have heard good things about that).
But even an excellent app like PKGBackup can be borderline confusing when it comes to safely backing up and restoring your Cydia tweaks. With the advent of iCloud, I held out hope that a backup tool could harness its power for backups and restores, and that's just what happened.
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing OpenBackup, the first tool of its kind that utilizes iCloud for seamless backups and restores...
