The developer of the popular Cydia app Wi-Fi Sync has confirmed that the current desktop versions are completely compatible with iTunes 10.1. Some are holding off due to the hopeful release of an untethered jailbreak, now that iOS 4.2.1 is right around the corner.
No iOS 4.2 for us today, unlike many sites were wrongly reporting, mostly based on a rumor that started as a joke. Instead, Apple released iOS 4.2.1 GM to developers.
iOS 4.2 should have already shipped to the general public but a last minute bug pushed out the release. We're likely to see iOS 4.2.1 released to everyone sometimes next week...
I'm not a gamer at all but I can certainly appreciate a good game when I see one. Rage HD, a first-person shooter from iD Software (the creators of Doom and Quake) is one of those.
Rage HD is an on-rails shooter where the character moves for you while you control his field of view, pointing and shooting at your enemies with an insane range of weapons.
Enough with the talking, let's have a look at Rage HD in action...
Google Docs users rejoice as you're now going to be able to edit all your Google Docs documents, right from your iPhone (or any other mobile device for that matter). Simply pointing your iPhone to http://docs.google.com/ will take you to the mobile version of the site.
I think it's worth noting that you're only going to be able to edit documents. You will not be able to create new ones, at least for the time being. Have a look at the video below. It's actually pretty impressive...
You gotta love America, the land of freedom and entrepreneurship, a land where anyone can be an overnight success and make the headlines. But America is also the land of lawsuits. 17 year-old Fei Lam is just about to know both the fun side and the not-so-fun side of being an entrepreneur in the US.
This kid form Queens, NY has been selling white iPhone 4 conversion kits using parts he acquired directly from a source close to the Foxconn's iPhone factory in China. Selling from $135 to $279, these kits have made Fei Lam over $130,000 in the last few weeks. Everything was doing fine until he received an email from a private investigator...
A new social network startup has been getting lots of attention over the past few days. I say "social network" with hesitation. Path is a San Franciso-based startup with some high profile employees from the tech industry. Dave Morin, the former senior platform manager at Facebook, is the company's CEO. Shawn Fanning, the co-founder of Napster, is also heavily involved in the project. Kevin Rose, of Digg fame, is an investor.
Don't let the attractive and mysterious woman in Path's web banner fool you, you won't find her on Path. In fact, you won't find many people at all. Because Path only lets you have 50 friends...
The guys at BoxWave know you're dying to get a physical keyboard on your iPhone so they came up with a nifty little accessory called the Keyboard Buddy Case.
The Keyboard Buddy Case is a case for your iPhone 4 that also includes an integrated slide-out Bluetooth keyboard. Unlike the Nuu, you just have to slide the keyboard to make it appear, just like you would on one of those Android phones.
Looking at the pictures, I have to admit that this thing doesn't look as bad as it sounds...
Let’s face it, we all have our minds in the gutter sometimes. But just how deep in are you? Do you have a dirty mind or are you an angel?
You might think your mind is clean, but the only way to really find out is by taking The Dirty Mind Test...
If you haven't noticed, we here at iDB are obsessed with Angry Birds. So of course we're thrilled to hear there's an Angry Birds sequel in the works!
But as any good salesman (and Rovio CEO Peter Vesterbacka) will say: that's not all! Pocket-Lint reports that Vesterbacka was in attendance at the Virtual Goods Summit in London and spilled some details about what to expect. Here's the rundown:
If you've been mulling over a Hulu+ subscription or waiting for the elusive preview invite, you might be interested to know Hulu+ has exited preview mode to officially launch and has lowered its price from $9.99 to $7.99/month. The two dollar decrease is likely attributed to Hulu trying to compete more with Netflix, which has made clear they are shifting towards a streaming-based service as priority, as users continue to use the DVD-by-mail feature to a lesser extent.
You can download Hulu+ in the App Store for your iPhone 4 or iPad. But what about those of you that have already been using Hulu+ at the original price? They have good news for you, too...
So today is my 30th and I thought it'd be nice to have birthday wishes from Steve Jobs. So I emailed and asked him if he'd mind wishing me a happy birthday. Just minutes later I received this reply from him. Amazing. Unbelievable. I know Steve and I had our rough moments in the past so I honestly didn't expect a reply back from him.
There is something wrong with this email though, but I can't figure out what it is exactly. Is there anything out of place in there?
One last thing... Don't tell me it's a fake, because it's not... Not!
Apple's new iPhone 4 TV ad titled "Longer" has been airing for a couple of days now. It makes an emphasis on the great battery life, telling you that the iPhone 4 new lithium polymer battery lets you work, play, and talk longer.
I do believe the iPhone 4 battery is a great improvement from the iPhone 3GS'. I can now go through a day of average usage without having to charge the battery at every occasion I have...
In case you think the iPhone 4 battery life is not that great, you might want to check out these tips to optimize it.
