Nuance is known for its intelligent voice technology, and the company is actually in a partnership with Apple to supposedly work on bringing better voice integration to iOS.
Nuance already has several productivity apps in the App Store, including Dragon Dictation. And their newest app brings the ultimate voice search experience to the iPhone. Hello, Dragon Go!
A recent Apple patent has been uncovered that outlines possible features in iOS that are made specifically for the aspiring journalist. If you're at all familiar with CNN's "iReport" idea for civilian journalism, then you'll get the main gist of this patent.
What if the iPhone could automatically switch between the front and rear facing camera during an interview over FaceTime? "Report" and "Interview" are two proposed iOS features that detail this experience...
The Dev Team has released an update to the jailbreak tool, RedSn0w, with support for a tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.4. Apple released 4.3.4 yesterday to combat the PDF vulnerability uncovered in the latest version of JailbreakMe.
JailbreakMe users are advised to stay with the untethered jailbreak that the web-based tool provides on iOS 4.3.3, and not upgrade to 4.3.4.
Amazon is preparing its own consumer tablet for an October release, according to The Wall Street Journal. Reportedly, the online mega-merchant is going to introduce a 9-inch, Android-based tablet to go head to head with Apple's iPad.
With different Android tablets hitting the shelves left and right, it's interesting to see a company like Amazon enter the mix. Will Amazon's tablet be the iPad killer?

AOL, the very company that owns popular tech sites like Engadget and TUAW, has launched a new music app for the iPhone, called "PLAY." This app is described as, "an application that lets you share musical moments with friends," and it can best be seen as AOL's attempt at Apple's own social network, "Ping."
With other services, like Spotify, offering paid music streaming in the US, PLAY offers a free catalog of popular music for playback at any time on the iPhone.
The App Store underwent some price changes for international customers yesterday. These slight changes are meant to reflect exchange rates accurately and balance out with the US dollar.
While many different countries saw price changes in the App Store, the US pricing structure has remained intact. Apple's main goal with these price changes is to accurately address the problem of inflated prices for international customers...
Apple has announced Volume Purchasing for Business in the App Store. The new Volume Purchasing program will allow businesses and educational institutions to buy apps from the App Store in bulk and easily distribute them to employees.

Apple is looking to block sales of HTC smartphones in the US. Like the ongoing copycat lawsuit with Samsung, Apple claims that HTC infringes on several of its iPhone patents.
HTC has seen impressive growth in the last year, and the company is responsible for many of the most popular Android devices on the market right now. Apple feels that HTC owes a little respect (and by "respect" we mean money) for the allegedly infringed patents...
If you haven't heard of JailbreakMe by now, you may be living under a rock. One thing you're definitely not doing is flying in a plane, because a video has surfaced that shows an iPhone 4 being jailbroken with JailbreakMe.com from 20,000 up in the air.
The cool thing about JailbreakMe is that it allows you to jailbreak an iDevice in Safari on the device itself. All you need is an internet connection and a few seconds to let Cydia install. And thanks to the availability of internet access on most commercial airlines, we bring you JailbreakMe on a plane...
China Telecom, a carrier in the world's largest mobile market, plans to offer the iPhone before the end of this year. Rumors are that Apple has been talking behind closed doors with China Telecom execs for months about bringing the iPhone to the Chinese market, and Apple's acting CEO, Tim Cook, was recently spotted at China Mobile HQ.
It's unclear as to when China Telecom will sell the iPhone exactly, but it's expected that we'll see Apple's flagship device on the carrier by at least December...
Yes, you read that headline correctly. While Americans have plenty of complaints with our nation's Transportation Security Administration, we can't deny that one agent in particular has... gonads (pardon the pun).
That's right, the now-convicted TSA agent, Nelson Santiago, was caught attempting to steal an iPad by means of stuffing it in his pants...
