This is a dream come true for sports fans, even if you don't like the NBA. The fact that someone has finally created an addon for AssistantExtensions to allow Siri to query sports scores is a win for sports fans of every type.
This means it's only a matter of time before you can search MLB, NFL, NCAA, and Premier League matches with Siri.
It's called SiriNBA, and it's the very first jailbreak tweak of its type. Check inside for our hands-on video...
Apple sparked a lot of controversy earlier this week when it sent out media invites to its iPad 3 event. The invitations included a photo of what most believe to be the company's new tablet — with no Home button.
As you can imagine, this has led to a lot of speculation that Apple's next slate will be button-less. But according to these new photos of purported iPad 3 components, that's just not the case...
When traveling abroad, there's just some things that you should do that are just no brainers. One of them is knowing the exchange rate between your native currency, and the currency of the country you're travelling to.
In the old days this used to take a little legwork, i.e. reading the newspaper, going to the post office, etc. With the smartphone boom, though, currency conversion is often right at your fingertips.
As is the case with this new jailbreak widget, entitled Currency Convertor. It's a widget that conveniently sits in iOS 5's Notification Center for easy access...
Let's start the day on a lighter touch, shall we? I found this funny and entertaining piece on TheJoyOfTech.
My favorite? "iPad 3 is so awesome, Chinese workers pay to assemble it!"
Would you like to hear Siri speak in a British voice? Or perhaps you prefer a Thai accent? With AnyVoice, either of these, plus nearly 40 others are available for you to choose from.
AnyVoice is a upcoming jailbreak tweak that allows you to easily customize Siri's accent. Be warned, though, some of the accents are much better sounding than others...
It looks like the fact that Apple's iPad 3 event is less than a week away wasn't enough to deter rumors of a smaller iPad coming in late 2012. We've been hearing about this "iPad mini" for what seems like much more than a year now.
The latest report comes from DigiTimes, who by the way appears to be rather busy this morning. The news outlet is claiming that Apple is looking to start mass production of a 7.85" iPad sometime in the third quarter of this year...
While we feel like we know just about everything there is to know about the iPad 3, what about the other tablet Apple is launching? That's right, the rumor mill is suggesting that we'll see two new tablets out of Cupertino this month.
This particular piece of gossip comes from DigiTimes. And while the publication doesn't have the best track record when it comes to Apple information, this tidbit actually sounds fairly plausible...
It's one of those feature that seem so painfully obvious, but no one took advantage of the opportunity until now.
Reflection is an app for the Mac that allows you to use AirPlay Mirroring from your iPhone 4S or your iPad 2 directly to your Mac.
In times past, the only way to perform mirroring was via an Apple TV set-top box device. No longer.
It turns out that there are more things being announced at Mobile World Congress than just hundreds of new cookie-cutter Android phones, and some of them are even pretty interesting. Some of those are iPhone accessories, with one in particular catching our eye.
The AudiOffice dock from Invoxia not only looks absolutely gorgeous, but it also fulfills a real purpose, especially if you're a business type who finds themselves tethered to their desk.
What the AudiOffice offers is actually pretty simple: it turns an iPhone or iPad into a desktop office phone, complete with corded handset and speakerphone options...
This year, the MLB is doing things a bit different with the way its viewers can watch games on their mobile devices. Today, the new MLB At Bat 2012 app hit the App Store, available on both the iPhone and iPad, Fox News notes. In previous years, the cost was $15 for each app -- which totaled $30 for a viewer who wanted the experience on both the iPhone and iPad.
The new version of MLB At Bat is now available for free, but you can get more features with a $15 season pass...
After months of rumors, Apple has finally confirmed that there is a new iPad on the way. The company sent out media invitations yesterday to what we can only assume is its iPad 3 event next week in San Francisco.
At this point, you might feel like you know everything about Apple's new tablet. The Retina display is practically a sure thing, as are improved processors and higher resolution cameras. But are you confident enough about these predictions to put money on them?
Seth Godin is reporting that Apple is rejecting eBooks submitted to the iBookstore that contain a link to Amazon. Godin experienced the blockage first-hand, after Apple rejected his eBook for containing "multiple links to Amazon store.”
The links to Amazon were found in the bibliography of his new book Stop Selling Dreams, where Godin linked to Amazon using its affiliate program, so readers could locate books he has published. These types of practices could lead to a closed eBook market...
