If you're a case-maker trying to play in a crowded space like the iPhone market, you really just have two options. One, try to be the best (see Otterbox, Case-Mate). Or two, use a niche to try and appeal to as big of an audience as possible.
PowerA has definitely gone with the latter strategy for its new line of officially licensed, Star Wars cases. Well I guess if you're targeting large audiences, the iPhone-toting Star Wars crowd isn't a bad choice...
I've always tinkered with my devices, regardless of their OS. I remember installing leaked versions of RIM's OS 6 on my old BlackBerry Bold, and rooting my Android handsets to install the latest ROMs.
But out of all of those experiences, I can honestly say that hacking devices, customizing them and installing tweaks, is much easier to do on iOS than it is on any other platform — even the "open" Android...
In addition to allegedly working on a brand new app to enable on-the-go payments on iOS devices, called Organize, Apple is said to appease to developers by rolling out new tracking tools that will strengthen developers' privacy by not requiring UDIDs to gather usage data on their apps...
With WWDC coming up on Monday, there's only a few days left to speculate on what new goodies Apple will unveil. We know for sure that iOS 6 is on the menu, but what new features will the update bring?
The consensus seems to be that, other than a number of revamped applications, Apple's mobile OS will remain largely unchanged from its predecessor. But that doesn't mean that we can't dream big...
According to a new report from a well connected source, Apple is working on a brand new exciting app for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
What does it do, you ask? You'll be pleasantly surprised, that's for sure. Read on...
Looks like Apple is pushing Samsung's buttons by asking the court to put the Galaxy S III smartphone on the list of devices eligible for a preliminary sales injunction in the United States.
So, what's Sammy gonna do? Summon its legal sharks to go after the iPhone 5, of course...
Despite an abundance of claims from insider sources that the recently-leaked metal iPhone backing is the real deal, a lot of folks remain skeptical of its legitimacy. Could this really be what Apple's next smartphone looks like?
Well a new video has surfaced this morning that aims to show us what the next-generation iPhone could look like, should these leaked parts and other rumors materialize this fall. And we have to admit, it looks good...
Earlier today, we reported that screenshots of Facebook's App Center were starting to surface. This lead to speculation from folks that a release for the cross-platform, HTML5-encoded app store was on the horizon.
Well, as it turns out, they were right. During a press event this evening, the social networking giant announced that it would start rolling out App Center in the US today. And the rest of the world in the coming weeks...
With a dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM and Wi-Fi capabilities, the iPhone 4S is more of a portable computer than a cell phone. And the folks at Clamcase are looking to capitalize on that.
Introducing the Clambook, a MacBook Air look-a-like laptop shell that aims to turn your iPhone into a portable computer, complete with a 16:9 laptop display and a full-size keyboard...
So this is pretty interesting: earlier today we passed along a report that [unlocked] iPhone users have recently started seeing 3G data on T-Mobile's network around the Moscone Center in San Francisco. This is where Apple will host WWDC next week.
This isn't typical for T-Mobile iPhone users, as technology conflicts between the carrier and the handest usually force them to 2G data (which is why T-Mobile still isn't an official iPhone partner). So we figured something must be up...
Look, we already know Apple's iOS platform made Google four times the revenue of Android by end of 2011, courtesy of huge traffic coming from iOS device owners using preloaded search and mapping services from Google.
And as Apple is said to reduce its dependency on the search giant with a rumored in-house mapping service, Google's bottom line is becoming increasingly tied to the successes of Apple's iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
Google's mobile advertising revenue? That's nearly all Apple. Looking at the big picture, the search Goliath will get up to two percent of its total revenue for the calendar year 2012 from the iOS platform...
Google Voice is an exceptional tool, but the problem is that it just isn't available worldwide. If, like some of the iDB team, you happen to have the audacity to live outside the United States, then you are completely out of luck.
While Google promises that Google Voice is indeed on its way beyond American borders, there are alternatives out there that do the same thing, and if you're an iPhone owner, one of those alternatives is Libon Voicefeed from developer Orange Vallee.
A free download from the App Store and compatible with a wide range of mobile phone carriers across the world, Libon Voicefeed plugs the hole left by Google's reluctance, or inability, to bring Voice to the world. And it does a very good job of it, too...
