Yesterday, Apple released iOS 4.3.5. The update fixed a security vulnerability with certificate validation. If you jailbreak and use UltraSn0w, stay away from this update. But if you are a Gevey SIM user, we have some good news.

New Dual SIM Case Adds a Second Line to Your iPhone 4

You might recall that earlier this year, there was a rumor going around that the next iPhone would feature dual SIM card slots. This would allow users to connect multiple phone lines to the device, eliminating the need to carry multiple phones.

While we haven't heard any follow-up information suggesting Apple's next smartphone will sport the dual SIM option, we have seen several accessory makers offer the feature for the current line of iPhones. The latest product we've seen surface, just like the Rebel 2Phone, adds a second SIM tray to your iPhone 4 via a removable case...

The AppBlaster: Taking iPhone Gaming Accessories to the Next Level

Though we've seen quite a few gaming accessories hit the iOS scene, we've never come across anything like this. The appBlaster has to be one of the most innovative gaming add-ons that's ever made it to market.

iDJ Live: Give Your iDevice Some Real 1s and 2s

The sharp and responsive screen found on Apple's iDevices make them a hotbed for DJ applications. Since the App Store's inception, we've seen several DJ'ing applications that try and capture the addicting music-mixing art.

One of our all time favorites is djay by algoriddim. Its easy to use interface and unique AUTOMIX feature make for a solid DJ app. Obviously, touchscreens have limitations that make it difficult to do any serious record spinning, but iDJ Live might have a solution for us..

Pic3D Sheet: Glasses-Free 3D Accessory for the iPhone

3D technology continues to be a hot tech topic. Between Nintendo launching the 3DS and HTC launching multiple 3D Android devices, it's safe to say that the technology is going to stick around the mobile arena for a while.

A Portable Wireless SD Card Reader for the iPhone

A major downfall [to some users] in iOS devices is the lack of expandable memory. In fact, that's generally one of the first things an Android-toting user would mention in a debate between the 2 popular breeds.

The iPhone comes in a 32GB, but that may not be enough space to lug around all of your files and media content. While even feature phones sport card readers nowadays, Apple has yet to include them in their lineup. So what if you want information on your SD card on your iPhone?
