If Apple's litigation team thinks they have a pretty good case against Samsung for violating trade dress, wait until they get wind of this new iPhone-imitating Android device.
While blatant iPhone rip-offs certainly aren't anything new, the fact that a major U.S. retail chain like Sears is selling them is kind of surprising. Even though the device touts some big features, iDB has a pool going on just how long this device remains available...
The jailbreak scene has certainly taken an early liking to iOS 5's new Notification Center. The pulldown menu seems to be the perfect spot to put well-designed widgets that give you useful information at a glance.
Though it's unclear whether Apple will actually allow 3rd party developers to design widgets for the Notification Center, jailbreak developers have already proven its potential. The latest example of that is the new RSSWidget...
TechCrunch has been spilling the beans on Facebook's entire 2011 roadmap over the last few days. It appears that someone inside the social networking company has been sending the site information regarding top secret Facebook projects.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to manually install a .deb file on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
It appears that the tech world hasn't seen the last of major iOS software announcements this month. The folks over at TechCrunch have gotten their hands on some pretty interesting information regarding a certain social networking company and a new photo sharing app.

The iPhone's all-touchscreen design caused Apple to make some steep compromises. The device lacks physical buttons that can be found on the simplest of phones. Though the list is long, it seems like the omission of a physical camera and standard back button sit at the top.
Lucky for us, we have the bright minds of the jailbreak community to make up for iOS' shortcomings. Apps like Activator and FastSnap easily solve the first dilemma, and the new Cydia tweak, AppSlide, solves the second. Back button anyone?
Now that the Nokia and Apple dispute has been settled, the tech world can turn its attention back to the Samsung "copycat case." Apple filed the lawsuit back in April of this year, claiming that Samsung copied several iDevice design elements in their products.

This particular court battle between Nokia and Apple has been a doozy. Nokia originally filed suit against the Cupertino company back in 2010, citing their use of data transmission and certain antenna technologies as patent infringement.
Earlier this year, an ITC judge ruled in favor of Apple, claiming that he saw no evidence of infringement in their products. Just days after the court's decision, Nokia launched a 2nd lawsuit against the iPhone makers which appears to have been much more successful...
If you've been holding off on jailbreaking iOS 5, you might be interested to know that a new jailbreak utility is available for the beta software. Like UISettings, this tweak sits in your Notification Center pull down menu.
