Last Summer we told you about the Original iPhone Film Festival. The contest only had two rules of entry: the contestants must shoot their entire video with an iOS device, and the clip could not exceed 4 and 1/2 minutes.
Well it took a little while, but the winners of the Film Festival have finally been chosen. Continue reading to see the four videos that took home first place in their respective categories...
There are some jailbreak utilities that are considered to be more or less essential. In fact, Sebastien wrote a post this morning detailing his top 10 must-have tweaks. Then there are others that don't really serve much of a purpose.
IconBounce definitely falls in the latter category. It's a simple utility that makes the dock icons on your iOS 4 or iOS 5 device do summersaults, flips, and other tricks without the need to mess with a bunch of settings...

Apple may appear to be the biggest tablet vendor on the planet with the company selling iPads hand over fist, but it seems that end-users are not the only ones taking a shine to the tablet.
According to new figures from enterprise mobile services vendor Good Technology, the iPad made up 96% of the tablets activated at the 2,000 companies that use its services.
The iPhone is proving popular in the enterprise also, with 53% of the smartphones activated being of the Apple variety...
As noted by 9to5Mac, the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) published an interesting patent application today with Apple's name on it.

After a rocky start in negotiations, it appears that Foxconn, a major Apple supplier, has finally received the tax terms it needed from the Brazilian government to start producing iPads in the South American country.
Believe it or not, getting Foxconn's Brazilian factory to start producing iPads is a big deal for both Apple and Apple fans in South America — it removes the need for costly important taxes that can sometimes double the cost of the tablet...
The New York Times published an extensive 7-page report last night detailing Apple's failure to effectively pursue safer working conditions in its overseas manufacturing plants.
We knew that conditions were bad for workers inside the factories of companies like Foxconn and Wintek, but we thought they were getting better. But citing both past and current Apple executives, the NYT paints a bleak picture of Apple's efforts to improve the awful conditions of its supply chain workers...
A few days ago we told you that Tim Cook had sent out an email to Apple employees regarding a special Town Hall meeting yesterday. The CEO wanted to congratulate his team on its recent success, and discuss some "exciting new things going on at Apple."
As it turns out, 9to5Mac — who originally broke the story — has gotten word of at least one of the topics of the meeting. No, it's not a new iPad or an Apple TV set. Apparently Apple is planning to launch a major employee discount program later this year...
A new report form the boys and girls of Google has revealed a couple of interesting facts about mobile phone usage across five key markets.
Looking at the five countries that are leading the charge towards a connected life – United States, UK, Japan, France and Germany – the search and mobile giant has come to a couple of interesting conclusions.
Firstly, and perhaps not such a surprise, it appears that Smartphones are rapidly eating into the remaining feature phone share, with the proliferation of iPhones, Android phones and the like causing users to upgrade to more powerful handsets.
More interestingly however, it appears there are now more people connected with a smartphone than people connected with a computer...
It appears that Apple's popular products haven't just "inspired" the competition, but they've also influenced a certain Taiwanese bakery. It's obvious that the cake-makers over at Comte have taken their packaging cues from the Cupertino company.
Their most popular product, the iFong, is a pineapple-flavored cake cut into 6 pieces and served up in an all-too-familiar iPhone-shaped box. But that's not all this bakery is offering...
