Stay up-to-date on the latest iPhone news and learn new tips and tricks with our comprehensive tutorials. From software updates to new features, we’ve got you covered.
HP has just announced some new features for their 2.0 release of the recently acquired WebOS. Some of them just seem to be playing catch-up with iOS 4.
There's also the infamous claim of "true multitasking." We'll see. But there's two features that I think would be awesome on the iPhone and I would love to see appear in Cydia (soon please!)...
Now that I'm running a jailbroken iDevice again, I find myself browsing the Cydia store once again. With the A4 and more memory, Cydia seems a little bit snappier than my previous generation device, but it's still a slow experience. It seems that no matter how much faster Cydia can get, viewing app descriptions will only be as fast as it takes for the sponsored ads to load.
I'm a little curious how much money the repo sites make from the ads in Cydia. It can't be that much, because I've never clicked one; I've also seen devs commenting on how few people click the ads for their free tweaks. But they're still there, so they must make something, right?
Ever wanted to control your Mac from your iPhone while still being able to fully customize everything you can do? Sure there are remote control apps out there, but many of them require software on both the iPhone and the desktop (and are rarely free).
Brett Terpstra has developed a working PHP script called HomeControl that will let you control your Mac from within Mobile Safari. The experience has a native iPhone look and feel and it mimics the iOS UI controls...
I love it when a simple app idea is executed beautifully. Take Five, by the Iconfactory, is no exception. The idea is simple. Take Five is intended to solve a problem that occurs often for certain types of people. When I say "certain types of people," I mean forgetful ones (aren't we all to some degree). The app does one thing and one thing well; it controls a timer for your music.
The scenario that Iconfactory uses on the Take Five site is a scenario that most of us have probably been through. You're listening to your music while you're doing work, you are either interrupted or distracted, then you eventually return to your work and forget to turn your music back on. Hours later you realize you've been listening to silence. That sounds like a pretty trivial problem, right? Well, it seems to me that the most frustrating problems in life are the repetitive and trivial ones. Take Five plans on fixing at least one of those problems...
As soon as the Mac version of GreenPois0n came out, I went ahead and jailbroke my device. It wasn't the same eye-candy that JailbreakMe was, or even Comex's first jailbreak, but it worked and I didn't have to wait long. Here's a few quick things that I immediately noticed.
LockScreen PIN Delay
After a fresh reboot or a respring, I can no longer dive right in to tap the PIN to access my device. The problem is either a delay or the first tap or two is not recognized. But it definitely slows me down a little bit...
Boy Genius Report has reported (from an inside source at Apple) that the new CDMA iPhone has reached final testing stages. There is no confirmation that this iPhone is specifically intended for Verizon, but CDMA compatibility is almost a given. The above image is of the rumored device, which BGR says may contain a SIM card slot...
About two months ago, John Gruber broke the story that the CDMA iPhone was in "Engineering Verification Testing" (EVT) status. One month ago, Apple Insider reported that Apple is apparently planning on building 3 million CDMA iPhones by December.
Here's the newest story from the CDMA iPhone rumor mill:
There are plenty of apps in the App Store for using your iPhone to remotely control your Mac. I've tested plenty of remote apps for the iPhone. Some of them are ok. Some of them are unbearable.
Recently, I stumbled across Edovia Software's TouchPad app. TouchPad is by far the best, all-in-one remote app for the iPhone...
Every once in a while I meet someone who has absolutely no idea the iPhone can do some very simple things such as moving icons around or even deleting applications. To most of you this will sound like basic iPhone features, however there are some really tech-challenged people out there. This article is for them!
If you're brand new to the iPhone, then read on because you're going to learn some simple and effective tricks...
I can say from first hand experience that there are thousands of tech related stories that come across the wire each day. Sifting through them all to bring you relevant stories for the iPhone allows me to see just how much of a daily media buzz surrounds the Apple world.
The news surrounding Apple is mostly positive and is the most plentiful according to Mashable. Their report shows a study done by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism that has Apple leading the news race with just over 15% of all tech stories including Cupertino as the main topic...
I have always suspected that it wouldn't be long until our smartphones would replace our wallets. The ability to scan your iPhone to pay for groceries, postage and subway rides would make life much easier, right?
Well the New York City G Train has enabled their systems with payWave. Cult of Mac reports payWave lets your scan your iPhone in front of a kiosk in the transit station that allows users to bypass the metro card and such when you're paying for your subway ride...
This story makes so much sense that I feel inferior for only realizing the potential just now. The idea of using a touchscreen to help children suffering from autism is brilliantly simple. The fact is that the iPhone might have the best and most simple system in iOS and the two were destined to help each other.
News Channel 10 out of Amarillo Texas has a report that centers on the benefits of using the iPhone to help the children dealing with the ailments that autism has. An app that focuses itself on speech therapy works by having the kids just touch the correct picture of whatever sound is being played. Magical, isn't it?
No doubt this was made by an Android geek. I think it's funny even though it's not too close to reality. Really with a jailbroken iPhone you can do pretty much what you want.
