The product's creators summarize their invention,"The Glif is a simple iPhone 4 accessory with two primary functions: mounting your iPhone onto a tripod and propping up your iPhone at various angles."

With the iPhone 4, Apple introduced the amazing Retina Display which gives us 4 times more pixels on the same screen size. Many app developers have already optimized their applications, including the icon, for the Retina Display, but there are still a few devs that are late to the game.
We already saw how to convert old app icons to Retina Display icons, but the process wasn't very straightforward. There is now an easier way to do all that thanks to a new jailbreak app...
AirPlay just got the jailbreak treatment. AirPlay (one of Apple's new technologies in iOS 4.2) allows streaming video to be pushed from any iOS device to an Apple TV.
AirPlay is only intended to allow streaming from the iPod and YouTube app, but this new jailbreak tweak opens up AirPlay possibilities to any playable media on an iOS device...
We've barely had time to get to know the newly released iOS 4.2, and there are already rumors circulating that iOS 4.3 will be released as soon as next month. In particular, two sources have weighed in on a possible iOS 4.3 release for the not so distant future.
The rumor mill began with some words from John Gruber about Rupert Murdoch's new, mobile-centric newspaper called "The Daily." Apparently, Murdoch has been forming a mobile-specific news publication under the umbrella of News Corp. This new publication is rumored to deliver news through a subscription system in Apple's App Store...
A couple days ago we informed you that the UltraSn0w unlock for iPhone iOS 4.2.1 was supposedly going to drop this Sunday. According to a recent tweet from Dev Team member MuscleNerd, it seems we are on the right track for a release on schedule.
This UltraSn0w unlock for iOS 4.2.1 will work with the iPhone 3G and 3GS. It will not work with the iPhone 4 yet, but it's being worked on...
I think the majority of people are in agreement that one of the key features that the iPhone has lacked over the years, and continues to lack, is a competent notification system.
Sure we have push notifications, but those can be incredibly disrupting and intrusive. Then there's the app icon badges, which serve their purpose, but can quickly litter your homescreen with a mess of little red icons.
What's a guy to do to get some good notifications around these parts? Jailbreak, of course.
Let's be honest, how many of you actually rely on the little dots above your iPhone's dock to gather your whereabouts while swiping between pages?
If you're like me and happen to find yourself rarely relying on those dots, all the while preferring a more minimalistic look to your iPhone, then chpwn's latest tweak, aptly entitled No Page Dots, is for you.
I'm a huge fan of the Star Walk application for both iPhone and iPad. The guys at Vito Technology, the developers of these apps, know it and never miss an occasion to give iDB readers a few promo codes for their applications.
On this Black Friday, Vito Technology has some special sales going on for all their apps, and even a few of those to give away to some of you...
There have been plenty of weird things done to the iPhone. It's even been turned into a stun gun. A recent video of an iPhone's screen through an interesting perspective has surfaced.
This particular video is mesmerizing to watch. A photographer, named Jesse Zanzinger, recently shot a very creative video of his iPhone's screen through a oil and water...
TinyUmbrella has been updated to allow you to save your SHSH blobs on iOS 4.2.1 for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. If you are a jailbreaker and have 2 minutes to spare, I suggest you use it to save your SHSH blobs.
In case you don't know what TinyUmbrella is, it is a utility that allows you to save SHSH blobs, files that are necessary when you try to downgrade your iPhone to a previous iOS version. Without them, you couldn't downgrade. While most people don't care, it is especially helpful for jailbreakers...
This is definitely the kind of rating and review that any app developer would like to get for his application.
I don't know what this app is. I just found this image accidentally on Twitter, via @rupinjapan. If you know the app, please let me know because it looks like it's definitely worth a download.
