Wouldn't it be nice to be able to add your own background image to iOS 5's Notification Center? Well if your device is jailbroken, now you can.
Introducing: Custom NC Background — a jailbreak tweak that allows you to add you own visual style to Notification Center by means of a snapshot from the Camera Roll...
This is kind of interesting. The JakartaGlobe is reporting that three of Apple's Singapore-based carrier partners are planning to offer camera-less iPhone 4S models to their subscribers in the near future.
While this removes one of the handset's biggest features — its 8MP camera, it does make the device more appealing to the the military crowd. Which is perfect, because that's exactly who they're targeting...
The image selection menu in Safari and Mail just got a lot more interesting. iEagleEye is a jailbreak tweak that adds a numerous amount of new options to image selection — options such as Google Images, opening in new tab, copying the image URL, and more.
If you're looking to make your iOS experience more like a desktop experience when it comes to images, then you might want to give iEagleEye a look.
Every week we bring you a few App Store apps that we find particularly useful or awesome. The App Store is full of mediocre stuff, but iDB tries to find the gems for your downloading consideration.
This week, we've got a nifty app for sending voice messages between iPhones, a new game, and clever photography app. We hope you enjoy this week's picks!
Although it might be hard to believe, Apple gets sued just as much as (if not more than) it files lawsuits. Being one of the world's top companies with over $70 billion in cash laying around puts a pretty big target on your back.
Who's the latest company to put Apple in its sights? None other than Kodak. The 131-year-old photography company has previously attempted to sue the iPhone-makers, and now it appears that it's going after them again...
I know I'm not alone in my predicament, but I can't count the number of times I've missed a good photo opportunity because I was either too slow on the draw, or iOS itself was too slow to load the camera UI.
Snappy5 is a tweak that aims to minimize, if not eliminate that annoying issue. It works by using Activator to quickly pull up the Camera app and automatically snapping a photo or filming a video.
If you find yourself missing a lot of great memories, then you definitely want to check this out...
One of my favorite social networks, Instagram, just got a whole lot more friendly with Facebook. Photos that you now send from Instagram on your iPhone to Facebook will be automatically added to a folder called "Instagram Photos" in their full size.
Not only will your Instagrams appear full size on your Timeline in all of their retro glory, but every pic is consolidated into one helpful photo album for reference.
iOS is a bit on the limited side when it comes to sending a multitude of emails from the Camera Roll. Apple has limited users to just 5 photo attachments if users want to use the built in email sharing option.
Fortunately, jailbreaking exists to get rid of such limitations. Check inside for a video walkthrough of Mail More Photos, a tweak that allows one to send a seemingly infinite amount of photos via email...
If you're an Instagram fan then you've probably seen the recent influx of images that are made up of multiple photographs, kind of like a storyboard or collage. They are a great way of showing off a group of photos that are of the same object or of the same theme.
Our favorite iPhone and iPad app for creating such an affect is Diptic, a $0.99 app which comes as two apps for your iPhone and iPad rolled into one.
Where Diptic excels is in its collection of options. Users are not simply left to add photos to a predefined template, but rather have complete control over every aspect of the final product. You don't need to be a creative genius to get great results, either...
I used Skitch on my Mac about a year ago when it was really popular, but the image editing tool fell off my radar after I started using more robust apps, like Pixelmator. A lot has happened to Skitch in the past year. The app has actually been bought by Evernote.
Skitch has entered the iOS world today with an official iPad app. The tool lets you edit and annotate images on the iPad with your finger.
The Kogeto Dot is a 360° panoramic video attachment for the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S. We were fairly impressed with its capabilities to take great action videos in our video review of the device.
Since we're finished with our review, we're happy to pass on the 360° panoramic goodness to one of our readers. Check inside for your chance to win your very on Kogeto Dot...
Instagram is definitely in danger of taking over the world. What started out as a neat little app for taking and sharing stylised photographs on an iPhone has ballooned into something more than we could ever imagine. But wouldn't it be awesome to get those great photos off of your iPhone and into the real world?
Bursting out of the digital realm and into the analog one is something that Instagram photos have done before. Not that long ago we told you about an art gallery that was opening in London. The gallery was going to be showing Instagram photos, and only Instagram photos. If you ever wondered what it would look like to take an iOS app and blow it right up, then this is perfect example. Well, this and Angry Birds.
Now you can take your Instagram photos and have them made into all manner of photographic keepsakes, and we have to say that they look pretty impressive...
