We know JailbreakMe is right around the corner. Comex keeps dropping hints at an imminent release but unfortunately there always seems to be bumps in the road. This time though, it appears that Comex is almost done ironing out the kinks of JailbreakMe.
In a tweet sent a few hours ago, Comex said he's running out of bugs to fix, which seems like an indication that we might finally see an iPad 2 jailbreak sooner than later...
Don't you just hate running iPhone-only apps on your large iPad screen? When you enlarge them they look all pixelated and ugly, but when you keep them at normal size, much of the iPad's screen goes to waste.
Your disdain for iPhone-only apps might soon change if this jailbreak app in development ever sees the light of day.
We're assuming the tentative name of the app is Polyonix judging from the screenshot, and it allows you to run multiple iPhone apps on your iPad's screen at the same time...
While some folks mock Apple's use of words like "delightful" and "magical" in their commercials, others are firm believers in the empowering abilities of the products. Take Mrs. Bligh for example.
Fiona Bligh's daughter has Albinism. The genetic condition not only affects skin pigment, but also causes eye problems. Holly Bligh has been struggling in school for years with her poor eyesight and inability to fit in. Then one day, Holly's mom decided to get her daughter an iPad...
iOS might be the mobile platform to beat when it comes to gaming, but you'd be hard pressed to find me something as unique as SpringBoard Invaders on the platform.
As its name implies, SpringBoard Invaders brings a Space Invaders inspired arcade game right to your iPhone's SpringBoard.
That means that there's no need to even launch an app in order to play it; all you do is swipe to the last screen on your iPhone, and let the games begin...
DreamBoard, the popular iPhone theme solution, has gone free on Cydia after previously selling for $2.99. Dreamboard is a popular Winterboard alternative that can mimic the looks of Android, Windows 7 etc.
Dreamboard works differently than Winterboard, because it doesn't require you to respring each time you switch themes, and it can achieve deep UI customizations without having to install other jailbreak applications...
In case you've been under a rock for the last week, Google just formally announced its next major product. The king of search engines and pop email services is now hoping to conquer the social networking space.
Google+ launched on Tuesday to a small group of beta testers, and since then has been a popular tech topic. The service looks remarkably like its Facebook competitor with features like 'Streams' and the ability to 'Check In' to local businesses.
As an avid iDevice user, the first thing I wanted to know was what kind of access I'd have to the service from my iPhone and iPad...
It seems like everyone and their dog has their own opinion of what Apple's next smartphone will look like. While most people believe that the next iPhone will look relatively similar to its predecessor, others feel a more radical change is on the way.
Then you have the folks that think that both will show up this fall. So which is it? If rumors have confirmed one thing, it's that we really don't know what Apple is planning for the next iPhone. But here's hoping it looks something like this...
Update: As Saurik confirmed in the comments section, this is not an update and jailbreakers should stay away from Cydia 1.1.2.
Earlier today, Cydia 1.1.2 went live. We haven't noticed anything major in terms of improvements, however, the only ones we've seen so far are some slight enhancements with search functions, and an overall slight improvement in performance, as well as a few bug fixes.
There's no changelog present in this release either, so it's only a small update...
Although I've typically had enjoyable experiences with Apple Store staff members, that doesn't seem to be the case for everybody. I've come across several stories where customers have left Apple Stores extremely upset with its employees.
One of the most interesting tales I've come across lately was featured in a recent TUAW article. If you haven't heard the story of Joe Lipari and his infamous Apple Store-Facebook-rant turned felony, you might want to keep reading...
Do you always find yourself moseying into the Contacts app to add new friends, family, and acquaintances?
Doing so can be somewhat of a clunky affair, especially if you need to do so while in a hurry.
NewContact is a jailbreak tweak available on Cydia that takes some of the thought process out of adding new contacts to your iPhone's address book...
You don't have to be around computers very long before you hear the word Symantec. The security company is responsible for the popular Norton AntiVirus software suite, among several other utilities.
Like the rest of the PC world, Norton is trying to stay relevant in wake of a huge industry swing towards mobile products. So the security firm recently did some research on the different ways that Android and iOS handle security methods. Guess who wins?
And the piss contest between Apple and Samsung shall continue. Later last month, a San Jose, CA judge ruled that Samsung should give 5 of its latest devices to Apple’s legal team for them to make sure those devices do not copy the iPhone in any way. Samsung requested the same from Apple but the court quickly denied the claim.
Today, FOSS Patents reports that Samsung filed a complaint against Apple before the International Trade Commission (ITC), asking for an import ban against the iPhone, iPad and iPod...
