You've got a new iPad, and now you need some great apps to download. There are so many options in the App Store, and finding the right apps can be a little tedious. We've done the work for you and collected 30 of the best iPad apps.
Any new iPad user will enjoy at least a few of the apps we've included in this roundup. There are multiple categories, so there's a little something for everyone!
It's been a big year for the folks at Shazam. On top of receiving $32 million dollars during a mid-summer investment round, the mobile music lookup service just recently re-launched unlimited track-tagging for iOS users.
And it appears that the company is just getting started. Since January of this year, there has been a lot of talk about Shazam venturing into the TV business. How, might you ask? With interactive commercials of course...
By now you've probably read our earlier report that there is finally an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1. This is thanks to the amazing work of iOS hacker pod2g, but also thanks to GeoHot, who found some of these exploits a while back.
As we mentioned in our previous post, there are two ways to untether iOS 5.0.1. If you're already jailbroken, you may want to use Corona Untether 5.0.1. If, however, you're still running a stock iOS 5.0.1 version, then this RedSn0w tutorial is for you...
After weeks of anticipation, the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak is finally here, compliments of pod2g, the Chronic Dev Team, and the Dev Team. As we explained a little earlier today, you currently have two ways to untether.
Depending on your situation, you can either run the latest version of RedSn0w, or if you're already jailbroken, you can use the Cydia package called Corona Untether 5.0.1 to do the job. The latter is what we'll focus on in this post...
Over the past few weeks, the entire jailbreak community has watched pod2g work diligently on the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak. All eyes have been on the infamous hacker as he has tested his exploit on device after device running iOS 5.0.1.
Tonight, it appears that all of his hard work has paid off. After waiting more than 2 months for an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak, it's finally here. You can now completely jailbreak any A4 device running iOS 5.0.1.
Since Apple unveiled Siri as an iPhone 4S-exclusive feature back in October, the entire jailbreak community has been waiting for it to be ported to older devices. We've seen videos of hackers running the digital assistant on non-4S hardware, but never a public release.
Tonight it would seem like the wait is finally over, as a new jailbreak app entitled Spire has just surfaced in Cydia. The utility, created by prominent jailbreak developers Ryan Petrich and chpwn, is a tool for installing Siri on unsupported, jailbroken devices...
Some things still blow our minds, even with so much great technology and gadgetry being released every day. It takes a lot, but sometimes we just can't help bit sit there and say "wow, that's pretty cool." Tizi and the Tizi Remote app is one such situation.
Tizi is Germany's answer to Slingbox, allowing over-the-air content to be streamed to just about anything, including an iPad using the Tizi accessory. As if that wasn't cool enough, the company has now also released an app that allows an iPhone to act as a remote control for the iPad app, complete with Siri-powered voice control.
We've been hearing rumors over the past few weeks that Apple is looking to launch its next-generation tablet in February of next year. The most recent chatter even points to a specific date — February 24 (Steve Jobs' birthday).
A February iPad 3 release is certainly feasible. The original iPad launched in April of 2010, and the iPad 2 debuted in March 2011. We've just uncovered more evidence that lends weight to the theory that the next iPad is coming in two months...
Some great developers from the iOS jailbreak community have put together a huge giveaway called iOSPromo for the holiday season. Filippo Bigarella, David Ashman, stm, Yllier, and Elias Limneos are all giving away multiple copies of their popular jailbreak packages for free to their Twitter followers.
The giveaway lasts for one week and includes popular jailbreak tweaks like LockInfo and Springtomize 2. More details after the break...
The sharing option for Apple's "Tell a Friend" feature in the App Store is a bit on the limited side. With a stock iPhone, you can't even use iOS 5's Twitter integration to tell your friends about your favorite apps.
Jailbroken iPhones, on the other hand, can — thanks to a recently released jailbreak tweak by the name of AppTweeter. Check inside for the full rundown...

Welcome to our tweaks of the week. Last week you probably saw that the iPhone Dev Team released an unlock for iOS 5.0.1. That was perhaps the biggest news warranting a video, along with the Home button recalibration trick that seemed to be massively popular amongst viewers and readers.
