The legal battle going on between Apple and Motorola in Germany's Mannheim court is starting to get pretty intense. Just yesterday, Apple was forced to pull some of its 3G products from its German online store as the result of a temporary injunction.
Although Apple quickly won a suspension on the ruling and the products are on sale again, the damage is done. The court has ruled that it believes that Apple is using one of Motorola's wireless patents. And for that, Motorola wants to get paid...
You have to feel bad for Yahoo. The one-time dominate web company now seems to be constantly staving off the thought of bankruptcy as a result of failing to transition into the mobile market as its counterparts have.
But that doesn't mean that it's giving up on the mobile world. Last year, the company launched an iOS app to help you search for mobile applications. And now it's just unveiled a web-based portal with a similar function...
The ability to split up the iPad's keyboard is one of my favorite lesser-known features in iOS. I don't use it all the time. But it really comes in handy when I need to rattle off an email or conjure up other large bodies of text.

In association with some of my favorite tweaks like InfiniFolders and InfiniDock, I was able to use Springtomize to create my ideal home screen...
Springtomize 2 — hands down the most robust tweak when it comes to customizing your iDevice — just received an update to add native iPad support yesterday.
That update reminded me of one of Springtomize 2's extremely useful, but often overlooked features that helps out immensely with troubleshooting problems.
Like SBSettings, Springtomize 2 contains a "MobileSubstrate Addons" sections that allows you to disable tweaks without having to uninstall them. It's sort of a hidden feature, but we'll show you how to use it in this brief video walkthrough...
If you use the iPod app on your iOS device as much as I do, then you're going to love the new jailbreak tweak: MusicBanners. The tweak, made by popular developer Ryan Petrich, brings your music to iOS 5's notification system.
So what does it do? Essentially, MusicBanners sends you a notification every time a new track comes up on your iPod app. This means that you receive a notification with the track's name, album and cover art after every song change...

Even with Apple's notoriously strict approval process, misleading applications constantly make their way into the App Store. We've covered a number of these titles on iDB — most recently Craft-Build Terrain, a fake MineCraft game.
These fraudulent applications have been making some serious waves in the developer community over the last few weeks. Developers believe these apps give their titles, and the App Store in general, a bad name. And Apple has responded...
As noted by AppleInsider, Apple has quietly pushed out a tiny update for its Apple TV. Users will notice a new 'Genius' option on the Apple TV menu when browsing through movies or TV shows.
