With jailbreak utilities like iFile and Safari Download Manager, your iDevice can seem more like an actual computer than a phone or MP3 player. The two apps allow you to manually download files, edit them, and move them around from folder to folder.
However, there hasn't been a convenient way to natively upload files in iOS (that I've known of), until now. Safari Upload Enabler just surfaced in Cydia, and it allows you to upload content from inside Mobile Safari...
All signs have been pointing to a September release of the iPhone 5, and retail outlets have begun to offer discounts for the iPhone 4 in anticipation of Apple's upcoming device.
In the US, Radio Shack and Target have already cut prices for the iPhone 4. If you're not interested in getting Apple's next generation smartphone this Fall, now would be an excellent time to pick up a new iPhone 4.
ZeptoLab's Cut The Rope has been a roaring success on Apple's App Store, with the app spending more time inside the Top 10 list than not. The addictive little game even managed to knock those Angry Birds off their perch for a spell late last year, and according to TechCrunch, there's a sequel on the way.
And it's closer than you might think...
It seems Locationgate just won't go away, with Apple being fined 3 million Won, or $2,855, by the country's communications regulator.
The fine relates to the infamous storage of iOS device's location in an unencrypted file on the computer they were synced to. Using this data, it was possible to plot people's movements on a map, causing mass hysteria, panic and general confusion. This file was discovered back in April, with seemingly the whole planet baying for Apple's collective blood.
Apple later released an update to its iOS software that addressed the issue, but the damage was done...
If you are currently jailbroken on iOS 4.3.5, we have some bad news. There is going to be no untethered jailbreak until iOS 5 is released. This is because the various jailbreak teams are saving their exploits for iOS 5. They could release an untethered jailbreak right now, but then it would take longer to find an exploit for iOS 5...
Apple's new iCloud service has taken another step towards its publish launch, with the combination of a new iCloud website and beta versions of the iOS iWork apps meaning cross-device syncing is almost here.
The new iCloud.com website offers users the chance to download saved documents for offline use, such as printing. And it also gives them the chance to upload your own iWork-compatible content, and then iCloud can push it out to iDevices using the same account.
Oh, and those iDevices? Syncing works from them too...
Apple just slightly edited 2 TV ads, showcasing several applications, including Apple's own iPod and iTunes app. The concept of the ad remains the same as the ones that recently aired.
These 2 ads originally aired in April, but Apple decided to refurbish them by slightly changing the ending tagline. The previous ads ended with "If you don't have an iPhone, well, you don't have an iPhone." These new ads end with "Just one more thing that makes an iPhone an iPhone..."
A new video has appeared online which appears to show off one of the many Chinese iPhone clones available, but this one is a little different.
The knock-off in this particular video is an iPhone 5 clone, and while it's obviously a fake, rather than a pre-production sample, is it possible that this handset could give us a sneak peak at what we can expect the be lining up for in a few short weeks?
As BGR points out, that might not be as strange a proposition as it first appears...
Welcome to the inaugural episode of the question and answer video feature, Ask Jeff.
Here is where I will do my best to answer at least five questions each episode that you, the readers and viewers, ask.
Most of the questions that I select to talk about on air will be iOS related questions, but feel free to ask my anything about tech in general, and we'll see if I can squeeze in a few auxiliary questions per episode.
So, without further delay, the first episode of Ask Jeff...
With conflicting rumors reports that the iPhone 5 may be launched in September or October, the only thing we know for sure at this time is that there will be an iPhone 5 this year, and it's going to be big! When exactly this iPhone 5 will be released is a mystery.
If there is an indication of things moving along, it may be this report from The Guardian that claims that carriers have received sample versions of the iPhone 5 in order to test them on their network...
I can already see eyes rolling after reading the headline: "Great, another iPhone 5 rumor." If that's the case, then move along. Complaining that there's too much talk about the upcoming iPhone on an iPhone-focused website is like complaining there's too much chocolate in your chocolate milk.
However, if you are anxiously awaiting the device's impending launch, you'll likely be happy to hear this particular piece of gossip. A Sterne Agee analyst told investors this morning that the iPhone 5 won't be the "modest update" that a lot of folks are expecting...
While it's true that Safari has a way to search for specific words on page, it's not the most efficient implementation in the world.
Apple decided to combine the web search with the search on page, resulting in a clumsy feeling page search that works; it's just not that fun to use.
EasyFindOnPage fixes this problem by placing a dedicated search button directly on your Safari browser's tool bar.
