A mere 8 days prior to Camera+ making its way back to the App Store after many months of banishment, a similar app up to the same old trick has made its way into the iPhone's ecosystem.
Surely the developers of Quick Snap have to know by now that using physical volume buttons for anything but volume can earn their app a lengthy timeout, but seeing as this is such a brash move in light of the recent events, we're going to have to side with the developer and claim ignorance...
Now that more and more jailbreakers are making the jump to iOS 4.2.1, courtesy of Redsn0w, a lot of people are wondering what's up with biteSMS? The app installs fine, but right off the bat you'll start to notice something's not quite right with our #2 favorite jailbreak app of 2010.
In fact, for me, attempting to send a message with biteSMS 5.0 while on iOS 4.2.1 crashes the app outright, rendering my fiendish text messaging habits useless.
Of course, if there's anything we know about the biteSMS crew, it's that they're always on top of things; in fact they've already released a beta version of the app that works well with Apple's latest firmware. Check inside for the quick and easy how to...
A little over a week ago, we reported on a Wall Street Journal article that revealed an eye-opening investigation into how apps share your personal data; without your consent.
Needless to say it was bit shocking to us, our readers, and apparently a lot of other people concerned over their personal privacy, or lack thereof.
Now the fallout from the privacy scandal is beginning to rear its head, and it ain't pretty...
If you have a hard time asking out that girl that you're interested in, then definitely stay away from AskToCall, otherwise you'll never call her.
AskToCall is basically the phone version of AskToSend, another jailbreak tweak that helps you second guess your sending of SMS and email messages.
Once installed, there are no apps or settings to configure, but you will notice a new prompt every time you dial from your favorites, recents or contacts...
Every year, there are multitudes among multitudes of apps and tweaks released for jailbroken iPhones. Similar to the App Store, some are worth more of your attention than others.
In 2010, we've looked in-depth at more apps, more tweaks, and more mods than ever before, with the goal of keeping our readers completely in the know.
Now, we'd like to take some time to reflect on our favorite jailbreak apps of 2010. Being included on this list doesn't necessarily mean the app was released in 2010, it just means that it was amongst our most utilized of this year. Drumroll, please...
The long-awaited RedSn0w untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 was released earlier today by the iPhone Dev Team. As we mentioned before, it is still a beta version, which means it is very unstable and causes a few noteworthy bugs.
We're aware that some of you are true dare devils so we thought it'd still be a good idea to post a guide on how to untether your iPhone. This step by step tutorial will show you how to untether your iPhone 4.2.1 using RedSn0w. This only works for the iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch 4G...
The Dev Team has released their Redsn0w beta, dubbed Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 for iOS 4.2. We wanted to alert our readers, and at the same time provide a word of caution about the beta release.
To quote the Dev Team "This is a beta tester program. It’s not a general release! Things can go very wrong, so please don’t even consider testing if you have pictures or other media on your device that you haven’t backed up!"
For that reason we recommend you hold off until the official release, especially if you rely on an ultrasn0w carrier unlock...
Now that the fallout from Antennagate has all but passed, Apple is exploring future options for antenna placement. They appear to be going back to the drawing board with the latest design; can you blame them?
As you are aware, the latest version of the iPhone, the iPhone 4, ditched the previous methods of embedding the antennas in favor of a metal band antenna forming a bezel around the phone. From a design standpoint this looked outstanding, but the good looks didn't exactly translate into good functionality...
The iPad rumors have been heating up as of late, with one analyst making speculations about what'll be under the hood of the popular tablet's next iteration. These rumors suggest that the iPad 2, or whatever Apple decides to call the iPad's yet to be named successor, will feature a dual core chip.
While that's not a surprising suggestion, seeing as both Motorola and RIM have dual core tablets on the horizon, what did catch our eye is the revelation that the next iPhone might follow suit...
Either the guys at Skype got the memo, or this was in the works all along, and they're just a bit slow going about their business. Better late than never, right?
Just as Apple is gaining steam with its relatively new FaceTime video chat, here comes the blue elephant in the room. While I didn't hesitate to give Skype a needed shellacking in a previous article, one thing's for sure, if they get on the ball with mobile video chat, it could be a hard ball to stop.
Even with FaceTime continuing to gain footprint in various other areas with the upcoming iPad, and the recent desktop Beta release; all it would take is for Skype to release a decent competitor to make things interesting...
The presence of a SIM card slot is one of the things that differentiates the iPhone from your run of the mill iPod Touch. How do you access the SIM card inside, and why would you even need to replace the SIM card?
One good reason for doing so is if you plan on traveling abroad. You can receive much cheaper rates by using a SIM card originating from the country you're visiting. Of course, there are other valid reasons and additional points that you'll want to keep in mind as well...
Pull To Refresh Safari is the latest jailbreak tweak to appear on the scene that adds Twitter App like refresh functionality to a stock iPhone app; in this case Safari. Not too long ago, Pull To Refresh Mail was released, which added the same unique refreshing capability to the stock Mail app.
Personally, I'm all for tweaks like this; it feels like a native part of the iPhone's interface, while at the same time modernizes apps that haven't changed much since they first debuted...
