Yesterday we brought you a sneak preview of CamFast (previously FastCam), and it's a tweak that allows you to invoke the iPhone's camera API using a simple Activator action.
The nice thing about CamFast is that it even works at the Lock screen, and is faster than Apple's 5.1 Lock screen camera improvements.
Be sure to watch our video demonstration above to see how it works in action.
iPhoto was the big new app release that Apple touted at its new iPad media event, but the bad news is that it requires iOS 5.1.
For those of us with jailbroken iPhone 4S' and iPad 2's, this places us in an interesting predicament.
Since there is no way to jailbreak iOS 5.1 on these devices, updating now would not only prevent us from jailbreaking, but it would also prevent us from downgrading back to iOS 5.0.1 now that Apple has closed the signing window for that firmware.
So, what to do? Fortunately, there's an easy workaround to this problem, and we're going to walk you through the process on video...
While the rest of the world has to wait until later this week to see Apple's new tablet up close, the folks over at Tinhte.vn appear to have already gotten their hands on one.
As noted by MacRumors, the Vietnamese site posted a video last night of the first unboxing we've seen of the new iPad. The slate's packaging doesn't seem to be much different than that of its predecessor, but you can immediately spot the new Retina display...
A few days ago we told you that the infamous iOS hacker pod2g had already started working on finding vulnerabilities in iOS 5.1 to use in a new jailbreak. The new software includes patches for the previous jailbreaks for both A4 and A5 devices.
Today, pod2g has come forward with another announcement. He is calling on the jailbreak community, or any iOS user for that matter, to help him find bugs in Apple's mobile OS by sending him crash reports. Keep reading for details...
Jonathan Ive has made quite a name for himself over the past few years. And for good reason too. Apple's SVP of industrial design is largely responsible for creating the look and feel of several popular products, including the iPod and the iPhone.
The London-born designer has a reputation for being fairly quiet, and rarely does media interviews. So you can imagine our surprise when we found out that Mr. Ive recently opened up to the London Evening Standard about a broad range of topics...

I'm really, really not a fan of Conan but I have to say his latest spoof ad for the new iPad Retina display is quite funny, and pretty much spot on.
Apple's Siri, featured exclusively on the iPhone 4S, has captured the attention of many over the last few months. Some customers viewed it as a pretty cool addition to iOS, while some have said Siri is pretty pointless. The majority of us were expecting it to be included on the third-generation iPad 3, but that's not the case.
A New York man named Frank M. Fazio isn't happy with Siri. He says that Apple has been "misleading" with its features set and has filed a class-action lawsuit, reports the WSJ...
Ever since iOS 5.1 was released last week, we started looking for new features that would have been quietly added to the iPhone or iPad. Two major ones were quickly found, both related to the data settings of your iPhone.
The first one unofficially turns your AT&T iPhone 4S into a 4G device, and the second one brings back the 3G toggle in the settings of your iPhone, assuming you are not using AT&T.
And now, a subtle new feature has surfaced to...
According to recent reports, Apple is secretly trying to put together its own TV subscription service. And by the sounds of things, it doesn't seem to be going very well. Studios are afraid to let Apple anywhere near their multi-million dollar industry.
But it appears that at least one major content provider is coming around. The Wall Street Journal has learned that HBO is finally going to relax its terms enough to allow iCloud users to stream previously purchased content to other iOS devices...
BGR passes along a report from DigiTimes this morning which claims that Apple is planning to launch a new iPhone later this year equipped with LTE technology. You don't say?
Well, considering that Apple has released a new iPhone every year for the past 5 years, it's safe to assume that we'll see another one in 2012. And given the fact that the company's latest tablet contains LTE, it's not hard to fathom that its next handset will too...
And you thought iOS 5.1's new Lock screen camera was fast? FastCam is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that allows you to access your iPhone's camera API using a simple Activator action.
The nice thing about FastCam is that it works anywhere, even at the Lock screen. In fact, it's faster than the Lock screen camera feature found on iOS 5, and still faster after the improvements made with iOS 5.1.
Check out our video preview of FastCam straight ahead...
AT&T is still lagging behind Verizon when it comes to 4G LTE coverage – the real 4G – but it's coming to 12 more markets:
AT&T plans to roll out 4G LTE soon in Naples, Fla.; Bloomington, Lafayette and Muncie, Ind.; Baton Rouge and New Orleans, La.; St. Louis, Mo; Akron, Canton and Cleveland, Ohio; Bryan-College Station, Texas; and Staten Island in New York City.
These launches are scheduled for April, May and into the early summer.
