Sync Photos and Video Between iDevices With PhotoSync

Oliver Haslam ∙ October 31, 2011

While Apple's Photo Stream is a great way of getting photos to sync across multiple devices, there's one glaring problem. Photo Stream doesn't support video, presumably because Apple doesn't want its servers full of hours and hours of 1080p videos showing cats sleeping.

It makes sense from a technical standpoint, but that doesn't help you if you need to get a video from one device to another. There's syncing with iTunes, and doing the iPhoto jig in the hope that everything works as planned, but it's a pain, and not always practical.

That's where PhotoSync comes in...

LockMessages Adds a Level of Privacy to Notification Center Messages

Oliver Haslam ∙ October 26, 2011

We've all had those situations when we've received a text message that we don't necessarily want anyone else to see. The problem is that such a message always seems to come through when your iPhone on a desk, or on a table in plain sight.

So there you are, your message pops up along with the sender's name and, if you have default settings turned on, a preview of the message's contents.

A new jailbreak tweak allows you to minimize such embarrassing situations by giving you control over what iOS shows when you receive a new text or iMessage, and it's called LockMessages...

A Week Later: My iPhone 4S Review

Sébastien Page ∙ October 21, 2011

I know I'm late to the whole iPhone 4S review thing, but to be honest, I never really understood how you could give a good review of a device after using it for two days – that's why I take my time. I've been waiting for over a year for this new device so I really didn't want to rush into a quick review without having fully used it for an extended period of time.

Now that I have been able to play around with virtually every feature of the new iPhone 4S, I think it's time for my late review. There is some good, some bad, and yes, some ugly…

AllMail Brings Better Mail Management to iOS 5

Guest Author ∙ October 16, 2011

If you purchased Delete Mail or Mark Read for your iDevice, you may have noticed that neither extension is compatible yet with the new Mail app in iOS 5. The iOS 5 update brings new mail management features to your device, but “Select All” is nowhere to be found.

Thankfully, a new jailbreak tweak has been released to solve your massive message management woes. Most of Cydia's recent activity has been centered on compatibility updates, but some game-changing newcomers have been appearing in the updates. Enter AllMail...
