You've heard about Starbucks and their weekly 'Pick of the Week' music offers right? Now everyone's favorite (and most expensive!) coffee outlet is offering a free iOS app each and every week, and this week's offering is the excellent Memento.
Memento, from D3i LTD, offers an excellent way to keep track of your online life, and it's all locked safely behind a password protected app...
Way back on January 9th, 2007, Apple brought the original iPhone into existence, and the rest as they say, is history. On that very same day, the Cupertino company also filed for a trademark for Multi-Touch. And now, 4 years later, the United States Patent and Trademarks Office has made its decision on the application.
In what is a rare knock-back for Apple, the USPTO has decided that Apple was not the rightful owner of the Multi-Touch trademark and, unsurprisingly, the iPhone-making giant decided to appeal. That appeal has now been heard, and Tim Cook and co. are still out of luck...
There's no two ways around it, TinyUmbrella is just as much of a staple to jailbreakers, as the tools that actually perform the jailbreaks. For that reason, I figured it was only right to create a standalone TinyUmbrella tutorial, which shows you how to manage your SHSH blobs.
With TinyUmbrella, your blobs can be retrieved from either Apple, or Cydia. In this video tutorial, I show you the difference between both methods and how to save your SHSH blobs for possible firmware downgrades...
With Apple expected to release iOS 5 to the public in the next few weeks, more and more details are coming out of the woodwork. The Cupertino company only demonstrated 10 of the software's 200+ new features in June, so there's a lot of room for discoveries.
Earlier today we told you about iOS 5's secret Assistant feature, the Siri-based voice control system that will set Apple's mobile OS apart from the competition. Now there is news coming in that the software will also include Facebook integration...
Mashable just dropped somewhat of a bomb in the iOS world. According to the website, Facebook will be launching its long-awaited iPad app at the iPhone 5 event, which will most likely be scheduled next week.
We wouldn't normally pay too much attention about what Mashable says, but it's interesting to note that Robert Scoble has been hearing the same thing, as he mentioned last week on Google+...
It seems like giving your website a makeover is the thing to do these days. Hot on the heels of the Facebook changes we saw rollout last week, reports are coming in today that YouTube has some major plans to overhaul its site's appearance as well.
While you've likely already seen the new design on YouTube's webpage, the changes are now making their way into the mobile app. The new interface is a lot different than the previous design, and although it's still being tested, you can try it out today...
For many iDevice owners, the ability to use custom themes has been more of a secondary benefit to jailbreaking, than an outright reason to jailbreak, but that's beginning to change.
With the rise in popularity of theme platforms such as DreamBoard, and the WinterBoard enhancing theme stores such as ThemeIt, there's little doubt that many are seeing this as the reason to jailbreak their iDevices.
CodeThemed takes the premise of theming to the next level, allowing users to easily and quickly create their own custom themes; rate, share, and download from a community of users. Be sure to check out the full in-depth video walkthrough after the break...
For the second time in one week, T-Mobile has made it pretty clear they it is not getting the iPhone this year.
With Sprint now rumored to get the iPhone, T-Mobile would be the last US carrier to not have a relationship with Apple. And it's not because they don't want it, as T-Mobile Chief Marketing Officer Cole Brodman said in an interview today...
A new survey by Nielsen shows that Android has been comforting its lead in smartphone market shares. According to the survey, within the last 3 months of the year, 56% of new smartphone buyers turned to Android, while only 28% chose an iOS device.
As the report notes, the preference of these new buyers are important because they often highlight a future trend in where the market is going...
Flat glass panels are so 2011! That's at least what smartphone manufacturers are thinking, according to this article from DigiTimes. It appears that the new trend among smartphone makers is going to be curved glass.
As usual, Apple is ahead of its game as the company reportedly invested in glass-cutting machines earlier this year to equip its reluctant assemblers to invest in this new and unproven technology...
For the last few months, a rumor that Apple would release two devices this year went around, and to be honest, it seemed to make lots of sense. Apple would release a full-featured iPhone, selling it at the normal full price. The company would also release a watered down version of the iPhone 4 aimed at taking a stab at the prepaid market.
I thought this to be highly believable. If you've ever been to Asia or Africa (I have), you'll know that the prepaid market there is gigantic. This is an untapped market for Apple.
So the rumor mill went crazy on this rumor, and everyone, at some point or the other, seemed to agree we'd see two iPhones this year. John Paczkowski of AllThingsD now thinks otherwise...
Remember the lost iPhone prototype? No, not the lost iPhone 4 that infamously went missing in a San Francisco bar, but the other one.
The iPhone 5 prototype that apparently took a walkabout in the Cava 22 bar in San Francisco has caused a bit of a stir. First, the San Francisco Police Department said that it didn't know anything about the situation, and then the SFPD came back with a statement that there was police involvement.
Then came reports that Apple's own security personell may have been impersonating police officers, and now it appears the real SFPD has asked for surveillance footage from the aforementioned bar...
