Do you hate badges so much that you wish they were gone forever? That sounds a little extreme, but if that's what you're into, then there is now a new mod on Cydia that will do exactly what you're looking for.
In the same way No Folder Badges removed badges from your iPhone folders, No Badges, a new jailbreak tweak by Chpwn will remove the badges from your homescreen apps. That's all the app does and from what I can tell it does it well...
If you go to Apple.com right now, you will be greeted with the image above. What can it be? Well, the rumors have been running around for a while that Apple is preparing a cloud version of iTunes which would allow you to stream your iTunes music from anywhere.
Apple spent 1 billion dollars in a top-of-the-art data center so it's about time they get some return on investment for this. But again, with Apple you never really know what to expect...
Have you ever wanted to travel back in time but couldn't afford the pricetag of a DeLorean? Now you can thanks to the Flux Capacitor app for iPhone. Best of all, going back to 1955 to kick Biff Tannen's ass will only cost you $.99.
The Flux Capacitor is what made time travel possible in the movie Back to the Future. Now it's your turn to launch into the past, fine tune the future, and disrupt the space-time continuum! The only downside to this application is that it requires 1.21 gigawatts of power to operate, so no need to say that your battery will drain very fast...
In case you missed some of this week's festivities, here is a summary of the 10 most popular articles that were published on iDB.
FaceTime comes to the iPhone 3GS New jailbreak tweak brings panoramic wallpaper scrolling to the iPhone Damn you iPhone auto correct AppSwitch, the ultimate system utility for your iPhone What iOS 4.2 features are you looking forward to the most? Saurik speaks at TED How to install Android on iPhone, no computer needed Update about the iOS 4.2 jailbreak and unlock How to forward your iPhone voicemails to Google Voice iOS 4.2 to be released on the 24th?
Why would someone waste time and more importantly money putting almost $2,000 worth of mobile phones on a grill? Well, for advertising...
No matter how stupid this was, I couldn't help watching until the end, secretly hoping the iPhone would be the last phone standing. Spoiler: it wasn't. If you have 2 minutes of your time to kill, watch this video.
iH8Sn0w, the developer of Sn0wBreeze recently announced on Twitter that he had released an updated version to his infamous jailbreak tool. This new version of Sn0wBreeze supposedly works with every device on iOS 4.1, including the iPad iOS 3.2.2.
Sn0wBreeze is like PwnageTool for Windows. It allows you to create a custom firmware while preserving the baseband and hacktivating the phone, thus making it possible for you to unlock using UltraSn0w. But how reliable is Sn0wBreeze?
iOS 4.2 is like the white iPhone 4. There are rumors about it, it's supposed to come out any time, but for some reason, it's never released. The rumors have gone wild lately about when iOS 4.2 will be released, and I haven't reported much of it here at iDB because to be honest with you, I think all these rumors were full of crap.
This being said, the new rumor coming from the Telegraph might be as reliable as a 1991 Ford Tempo, but I'd like to give it a chance and see what you guys think about it. According to the UK newspaper, iOS 4.2 will be released on November 27...
Apple just released iTunes 10.1, bringing AirPlay to the table. iTunes 10.1 will also be necessary to update your iPhone to iOS 4.2, whenever it's released.
So far there is no indication whether iTunes 10.1 is safe for iPhone jailbreak and unlock, so my advice to you is to stay away from it until we get confirmation from the Dev Team that it is indeed safe.
Here is the changelog of iTunes 10.1...
I don't know about you but I'm a big fan of Angry Birds. I'm such a fan that I actually set up my SMS ringtone to make an Angry Bird sound every time I receive a new text message. Yep, that's how I roll.
We'd already seen the Angry Birds plush toys before and it seems more goodies are being developed taking advantage of the momentum Angry Birds are having these days. The last product being developed is Angry Bird cases, which apparently will only be available in the UK via the 02 carrier...
Last week we gave you a quick preview of a page on the new Cydia. At the time, Chpwn, who's working with Saurik to update Cydia, said that this was all he had done so far. That wasn't much and to be honest, it was kinda disappointing.
The good folks at Redmond Pie found out on Twitter that Cydia might now be ready for iOS 4.2. According to a tweet from Chpwn, Cydia for iOS 4.2 is "in ready position"...
Yesterday my iPhone notified me I had 14 voicemails within the last 6 days. Why didn't it notify me of the new voicemails as they came? I have no idea. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really pissed at my iPhone. Not only had I missed important voicemails that I should have received days ago, but it wasn't the first time this had happened to me.
Like every normal person of the 21st century, I went to Twitter and started bitching about it. Within a few minutes I received replies from people telling me I should let Google Voice take over my iPhone. I already use Google Voice but I don't want it to completely replace my normal line. Then someone told me I could actually replace my iPhone voicemails with Google Voice voicemails by forwarding my iPhone voicemails to Google Voice.
After doing a bit of research, this made complete sense to me and I decided to give it a go...
Backflip Studios (Paper Toss and Ragdoll Blaster) has done it again and created a amazing free game called Ninjump. This is a survival action game in which you run up against 2 sides of a building, achieving power-ups while dodging and avoiding obstacles.
Your goal is to not die and obtain the highest score possible. For those familiar with survival games than you should feel familiar with the concept, if not then I just explained it to you...
