After making a short apparition, SkyFire, the app that allows you to convert Flash content on your iPhone, was quickly pulled from the App Store by the company itself as their servers couldn't handle the load. It seems things are getting better now as SkyFire is now back in the App Store.
As TUAW's Steven Sande notes, you may not want to rush to the App Store to get SkyFire as the app is being released in "batches"...
The developer behind BrowserChanger and Action Menu Voice is working on a new app called Safari GridTab, which basically shows your opened Safari tabs in a grid.
It looks like it's much easier to navigate through the tabs this way. Safari GridTab is still in development but it will hopefully be released soon...
This one is an interesting find by our Engadget friends. Apparently some T-Mobile stores in the US are selling iPhone charging cables. What can that mean? Are they preparing for the T-Mobile iPhone? We've heard our share of rumors about that in the past.
Or maybe they're just trying to provide accessories for iPhone unlockers who make the move to T-Mobile? Your guess is as good as mine.
If you are an iPhone 3GS owner and feel left out because you can't record HD videos on your iPhone, then rejoice because the jailbreak community is taking care of you.
There is a new jailbreak app in Cydia called HD Video Enabler for 3GS. Just like its name suggests, this tweak will allow you to enable HD video recording on your iPhone 3GS...
When Cydia acquired Rock a couple months ago, Saurik acknowledged that Cydia was in great need of a facelift, and said that Chpwn was actually working on it to make it look better. Things aren't going as fast as we'd want them to, but there is still some progress made by Chpwn.
MuscleNerd tweeted this screenshot of the new Cydia earlier. That was pretty exciting until I saw this tweet from Chpwn who basically said it was all they had done on the new Cydia for the time being...
Apple has filed another interesting patent detailing some extremely interesting multi-player gaming possibilities. Patently Apple has referred to the patent as an "Interactive Laser Gaming Application and/or Framework." Essentially, the new framework would allow iPhones to recreate what amounts to a game of laser tag.
Most people are familiar with laser tag, a game in which players wear light-sensitive vests that register a "hit" when shot by an infrared laser from another player's gun. This new Apple patent describes a similar environment, in which the iPhone would act as the vest and gun...
Google Instant has been bringing lighting fast search results to the desktop for a couple of months. Dynamic results are shown as you type your search query. Basically, Google guesses what you're typing as you type it.
This amazing technology has been duplicated with other famous search services like App Store Instant. We've all been waiting in eager expectation for Google to bring instant searching to iOS, and Google Instant has now been made available on all iOS 4.0+ devices…
No, thank god no one stole my iPhone but I found this image deep in iDB's archives. While it's not new, I thought it was pretty funny so I decided to share it with you.
I don't know who came out with this idea so I can't give credit to him.
Facebook held a special mobile event yesterday at their headquarters in Palo Alto, California. CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, addressed the company's new mobile strategy. Among some updates to the Android app, the official iPhone app was given the most attention.
Facebook v3.3 adds a couple of interesting features. The look of the app has been slightly restructured in the News Feed to consolidate space. Beyond the small updates to the user interface, Facebook added two major features: Groups and Deals...
Don't feel like shelling out the money for an iTV? Well if you have an old iDevice laying around, you don't have to! Introducing iPod Remote Controller and iPod Remote Server.
The iPod Remote Controller app is a two-trick app for jailbroken devices. It will access and control any iDevice that is running the iPod Remote Server. You can select songs, shuffle, and play the songs in an interface that closely resembles the iPod app for the iPhone. It will also allow you to connect via WiFi or Bluetooth for those who don't have a WiFi connection...
Ever wanted to share a webpage from your iPhone to another iDevice or to a friend's iPad who is sitting in the same room? Now you can with CoBrowser by Collect3.
CoBrowser allows your iPhone to download an entire webpage images and all to your iPhone and then share it via Bluetooth to any other iDevice such as an iPod Touch or iPad. The nice thing is the other devices don't even need to have an internet connection because they pull it from your iPhone directly.
If you know me well at all, you know how much I love the jailbreak app SwitcherPlus. My infatuation with that app is well documented. The reason I like it so much is because it adds real value and benefit to the iPhone experience by making the task switcher more usable and intuitive.
Well, DirectControl is a lot like SwitcherPlus, that is, if SwitcherPlus went on a crash diet and lost like 100 pounds. In other words, it takes one feature that SwitcherPlus does well, and offers it to you in a single tweak. Does that make DirectControl any more or less compelling?
