With the holidays around the corner, Apple's advertising team is working overtime. Just a few days ago we told you about the new iPad 2 commercial, and now the company has just released a new iPod touch ad.
The iPod touch line didn't receive any hardware updates this year, but it did get a new white model and a minor price drop. It also received the new iOS 5 update, which stars in the device's latest TV spot...
Cover Flow has always been more eye candy than it is useful, but the usefulness it did have has always been hindered by its lagginess.
SmoothCoverFlow is a free jailbreak tweak available on Cydia that aims to eliminate the choppy feel that you get when scrolling through a large Cover Flow library. Does it work? Check out our video demonstration inside for the answer...
Yesterday, we started seeing Black Friday banners pop up on Apple.com. The top of the image read "Every gift list has its day," and was followed by a request for customers to return to Apple's online store on November 25th for a special one-day shopping event.
Given Apple's track record, we weren't expecting the kind of deep discounts that other retailers will be offering this week. And it looks like we were spot on. 9to5Mac has gotten ahold of a copy of Apple's Black Friday deals, and as last year, they seem fairly modest...
Where has this year gone? Thanksgiving is next week, and after that you'll have less than a month to finish up your holiday shopping. For those of you who are still looking for gift ideas for the little ones in your life, you might want to go with something from Apple.
A recent report from Nielsen, a marketing research firm, shows that Apple's line of iDevices sit at the top of kids' wish lists this year. The iPad and iPhone not only beat out other smartphones and tablets, but they also topped every gaming system as well...

SuperScroller is a jailbreak tweak from Ryan Petrich that allows you to scroll up or down using an assigned Activator action.
Many viewers are questioning the tweak's usefulness on our YouTube channel, but I could certainly see someone using SuperScroller as their preferred method of page navigation; for instance, when reading.

After a little bit of a delay, iTunes Match was released to the public today. iTunes Match is a service that's built into the latest version of iTunes. It lets you match, upload, and play music on a variety of different devices.
This is an extremely cool service that allows you to take your entire iTunes library with you on the go, even if you have a measly 8GB iPhone.
Unfortunately, we don't think that Apple has done a very good job explaining the full benefits of iTunes Match. For that reason, we've created this ultimate iTunes Match tutorial, FAQ, and video walkthrough...
A few days ago we showed you how to enable iOS's built-in but hidden autocorrect bar using a series of simple yet time consuming steps.

Autocorrection Bar is a simple to use jailbreak tweak that will easily enable the autocorrect bar if you have a jailbroken iPhone. It even includes an enhancement...
Apple released iOS 5.0.1 to the public today, and with it comes the need to jailbreak. Fortunately, we've got that need covered using the latest version of RedSn0w 0.9.9b8.
Keep in mind that many are warning those wishing to jailbreak to stay away from iOS 5.0.1 — especially iPhone 4S owners and those who have no way to downgrade firmware back to a prior version.
This is a tethered jailbreak, so those wanting untethered only need not apply. But if you're happy to use tethered to hold you over until then and if you've read all of the warning labels, check out our video tutorial that shows your how to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 inside...
Apparently I'm not alone in my thoughts about Apple's stock weather theme for Notification Center — it's a bit lacking in style.
NC weather widgets is a jailbreak tweak that adds custom Notification Center themes to iOS 5 via WinterBoard with just a few steps.
Step right inside to see how the improved weather icons look like on video...
It's easy to venture into Cydia and download your favorite apps and tweaks, but what if you want to save the files that you download for backup or later use?
There are tools like PKGBackup that save the links to the apps and tweaks that you have on your device, but it's not as straightforward to backup and save the actual .deb files responsible for installing the packages that we use.
What to do? In the following video tutorial, I'll show you how to easily download deb files using OpenSSH and a handy FTP client...
