A recent Apple patent has been uncovered that outlines possible features in iOS that are made specifically for the aspiring journalist. If you're at all familiar with CNN's "iReport" idea for civilian journalism, then you'll get the main gist of this patent.
What if the iPhone could automatically switch between the front and rear facing camera during an interview over FaceTime? "Report" and "Interview" are two proposed iOS features that detail this experience...
The world of video gaming has advanced exponentially over the last few decades. Nowadays you can manipulate the on-screen action with your own movements, rather than needing a physical controller.
But if you're an old school gamer at heart, and your iPhone happens to be jailbroken, chances are you'll love this next jailbreak app. ClassiPong, if you couldn't tell by the title, is a classic pong-style game for your iPhone...
The Dev Team has released an update to the jailbreak tool, RedSn0w, with support for a tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.4. Apple released 4.3.4 yesterday to combat the PDF vulnerability uncovered in the latest version of JailbreakMe.
JailbreakMe users are advised to stay with the untethered jailbreak that the web-based tool provides on iOS 4.3.3, and not upgrade to 4.3.4.
With Twitter becoming the world's water cooler, everyone is scrambling to integrate the social network into their software and hardware, with Apple being no exception.
When iOS 5 ships to eager users later this year, it will have Twitter baked right into its core, with contact syncing as the only real feature to be yet demonstrated by Apple.
What we really want from iOS 5 Twitter integration is system-wide tweeting. Being able to send new tweets without having to stop what you are doing would be really cool, though we're not holding out much hope that Apple will give it to us.
Once again though, the jailbreak scene has us covered, with TwitkaFly doing the business this time around...
The App Store's lack of a trial process or refund policy has been one of the few downfalls of an otherwise successful venture. Though some 3rd party developers offer refunds under special circumstances, it's not a bet you'd ever be willing to make.
But if you recall last month, there were reports going around that Apple was making a change to its App Store policy. Word on the street was that the Cupertino company was going to implement a 7-day app return policy for the folks in Taiwan to comply with a government mandate...
Here's a little lesson to all the would-be criminals out there: If you are going to break into your ex-girlfriend's house, don't leave your iPhone behind as evidence. While most of us consider that common sense, that doesn't seem to be the case with Mr. Jason Scott Davis.
The 34-year-old Northern Californian is in custody as the prime suspect of a late-May home invasion. Authorities arrested Davis after discovering his iPhone in his girlfriend's bathtub the night of the robbery...
In the last quarter, Google activated more than 50 million new Android devices, with a growing rate of 57%. In comparison, Apple is expected to announce the sale of only 29 million iPhones during the same period, with a disappointing 2% growth rate. Without any intention of being unfair to Google, if the iPhone 5 had launched in June, Apple's growth would have been more impressive.
Sales figures speak for themselves. Each day, more than 500,000 new phones running the Android OS are activated. Google's strength lies in the fact that their OS is available on different devices and carriers, providing the consumer a wider selection to choose from...
With Apple announcing that its App Store had reached the impressive 15 billion downloads mark, research company Asymco has crunched the numbers and, as it turns out, the App Store has now surpassed the iTunes music store in download rankings.
This conclusion comes after a bit of detective work based off Apple's announcement a month ago that it had served 15 billion songs. Asymco believes app sales have now overtaken song sales- an impressive feat...
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.
Although it may look like a souped-up Duck Hunt Zapper, the appBlaster utilizes cutting-edge technology. The accessory uses the iPhone's camera and accelerometer to create an immersive first-person shooter. And the result, I must say, is awesome...
We're all quite aware of how amazing our iPhones are, but they still continue to surprise us every now and again. One guitarist has posted a mesmerising video on YouTube in which he demonstrates how the iPhone 4 captures guitar strings as they are strummed.
The video isn't a true representation of the way in which guitar strings actually oscillate; instead, it's a fascinating example of how the effects that can sometimes be achieved with the iPhone 4's rolling shutter...
Amazon is preparing its own consumer tablet for an October release, according to The Wall Street Journal. Reportedly, the online mega-merchant is going to introduce a 9-inch, Android-based tablet to go head to head with Apple's iPad.
With different Android tablets hitting the shelves left and right, it's interesting to see a company like Amazon enter the mix. Will Amazon's tablet be the iPad killer?
Apple has released iOS 4.3.4 for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. This update is now available in iTunes and has been released to fix the PDF exploit uncovered and distributed by Comex in the latest addition of JailbreakMe.
iOS 4.3.4 can be applied to your iDevice by updating your software in iTunes.
