The Deck teaser video with a simulator preview was nice, but nothing does it justice like a little hands-on action.
A few minutes ago I was able to go one-on-one with the upcoming Deck jailbreak tweak from SBCoders.
Is it as smooth as the initial preview video? You betcha.
Vimeo is a popular alternative to YouTube for sharing videos. Vimeo is known for hosting higher quality pieces and short films, thanks to its pro accounts. The service previously had just an iPhone app, but today has updated its app to version 2.0, bringing support for the iPad.
The iPad UI lets you navigate through Vimeo's functionality natively and also lets you play video full screen. As you can see, it looks very high quality.
Vimeo for iOS also features:
When you're looking to make a new iPhone accessory, you generally want to stay away from crowded markets unless you know you have something really special. And that's exactly what the folks at cellhelment are banking on with its new iPhone case.
There are already thousands of cases available for Apple's popular handset, but none of them carry guarantees like this one. Meet the cellhelmet, the first and only iPhone 4/4S case that comes with a free year of smartphone insurance...
All signs are indicating that the iPad 3 will be announced in the first week of March at an event held by Apple in California. The iPad 3 is rumored to include some pretty impressive specs, including a quad-core processor and a 'truly amazing' Retina display.
It would make sense that retailers like Best Buy would begin pulling the iPad 2 from its shelves to make way for the iPad 3. According to a leaked screenshot from Engadget, Best Buy has begun pulling the iPad 2 from its shelves...
We've seen Motorola take on Apple in the courtroom, now it's taking on its popular digital assistant feature. The company just posted three videos to its YouTube account of three of its handsets taking on the iPhone 4S in voice-control.
The videos star the Motorola Atrix 2, the Photon 4G and the Electrify using Android's Voice Action component. The sentiment here seems to be that Motorola believes that its feature is superior to Siri, but we'll let you be the judge of that...
Deck is an upcoming jailbreak tweak from SBCoders that is currently in beta testing. It promises to lend added functionality to your SpringBoard by adding an App switcher-esque side bar that's accessible by swiping.
Inside the "hotbar" you'll gain access to a multitude of customizable functions, and shortcuts. It looks like a great compliment to the currently existing App switcher.
SBCoders has released a teaser video that shows Deck in action, check inside to have a look...
Since Steve Jobs passed away last year, fans have been coming up with new ways to pay homage to the long-time CEO. Some folks have written tributes, and others turned out at Apple Stores to pay their respects.

DataMonitor is a free tweak that puts nearly every technical facet about your device right at your fingertips.

It looks as if things are becoming quite crowded and heated in the "virtual assistant" space.
A recent TechCrunch report says that Apple is planning to remove Evi from the App Store because it violates Apple's terms and conditions.
The violation? Evi is too similar to Siri...
SiriBoard is a simple jailbreak tweak that places a shortcut to Siri directly on your iPhone's SpringBoard.
This will allow you to launch Siri from any Home screen page, or even place the shortcut into your dock or in a folder.
Personally, I think holding the Home button is the most efficient way to launch Siri, but perhaps you feel otherwise?
Apple is sitting on top of the world right now. It has the most popular handset and tablet on the market, it broke nearly every company sales record last quarter, and it's currently the most valuable corporation in the world.
The company's real accomplishment, however, is how quickly it has risen to the top. Less than two years ago Apple's market cap was only $200 billion. And now it's teetering around the $500 billion mark. But how long can it keep up this ridiculous pace?
