‘Calendar Pro’ adds a configurable calendar to Notification Center
Back in October we brought you a walkthrough of Calendar for Notification Center. Needless to say it was so barebones that I don't even believe we made a post about it.
Now the same developer behind Calendar for Notification Center is back, this time with Calendar Pro.
How does Calendar Pro compare to its predecessor? Better yet, will it meet the needs of those who desire a calendar in iOS 5's Notification Center?
What AT&T customers on unlimited data plans can do to fight throttling
Last year AT&T, along with several other carriers, decided to drop its unlimited data plan in favor of other options. And although it has allowed users to maintain their previously-owned unlimited plans, it isn't exactly winning customer service points.

‘SpeakEvents’ makes boring push notifications come alive with voice
SpeakEvents is a jailbreak tweak that audibly speaks the contents of new messages, tweets, emails, etc.
I like to look at it as the opposite of Siri; actually it's the perfect complement to Siri, because instead of you talking to the iPhone, it's talking to you.
I know this sounds like a potential recipe for disaster, but SpeakEvents has the ability to go into quiet mode during designated times, and you can make it work on a per-app basis.
Check out further video coverage of SpeakEvents straight ahead...
‘Notificator’ allows you to customize iOS system events with banners and sounds
Wouldn't it be neat to receive a banner notification once that huge app finishes downloading? What about a less intrusive banner notification when your device is running low on battery life?

AT&T plans to allow developers to pay for users’ data
In an interesting move, AT&T plans to allow developers to pay for users' data, when users are using the developer's app, reports the WSJ. AT&T's network and technology head John Donovan told the WSJ in an interview at MWC 2012 that the service will be similar to a toll-free 1-800 number.
The move will surely be interesting, letting a user use an app without any data being charged to them whatsoever. Donovan says AT&T hopes to roll out the new service within the next year...
