Nuance is known for its intelligent voice technology, and the company is actually in a partnership with Apple to supposedly work on bringing better voice integration to iOS.
Nuance already has several productivity apps in the App Store, including Dragon Dictation. And their newest app brings the ultimate voice search experience to the iPhone. Hello, Dragon Go!
With Twitter becoming the world's water cooler, everyone is scrambling to integrate the social network into their software and hardware, with Apple being no exception.
When iOS 5 ships to eager users later this year, it will have Twitter baked right into its core, with contact syncing as the only real feature to be yet demonstrated by Apple.
What we really want from iOS 5 Twitter integration is system-wide tweeting. Being able to send new tweets without having to stop what you are doing would be really cool, though we're not holding out much hope that Apple will give it to us.
Once again though, the jailbreak scene has us covered, with TwitkaFly doing the business this time around...
AOL, the very company that owns popular tech sites like Engadget and TUAW, has launched a new music app for the iPhone, called "PLAY." This app is described as, "an application that lets you share musical moments with friends," and it can best be seen as AOL's attempt at Apple's own social network, "Ping."
With other services, like Spotify, offering paid music streaming in the US, PLAY offers a free catalog of popular music for playback at any time on the iPhone.
It had to happen sooner or later, and we now have our first iOS application designed for catching and eradicating malware.
While there are currently no known malware threats to iPhones, iPads or iPod touches, VirusBarrier is aimed at scanning the files we all find ourselves sharing around our local network...
The sharp and responsive screen found on Apple's iDevices make them a hotbed for DJ applications. Since the App Store's inception, we've seen several DJ'ing applications that try and capture the addicting music-mixing art.
One of our all time favorites is djay by algoriddim. Its easy to use interface and unique AUTOMIX feature make for a solid DJ app. Obviously, touchscreens have limitations that make it difficult to do any serious record spinning, but iDJ Live might have a solution for us..
With Apple's iPhone 4 possessing one of the best cameras for recording HD video around, it's understandable that we all want to get as much use out of it as possible.
The only problem with the iOS Camera app is it's just so slow to access. Add in the time taken to tap the icon for changing from still to camera mode, and chances are you've just missed whatever it was you wanted to film in the first place.
Capture is an App Store app that offers a much quicker way to record video on the iPhone, without the need to sit and wait for Apple's own app to go through the motions...
Have you ever wanted to radically -- and I do mean radically -- change the look of your iPhone's app icons?
There are about a million ways to accomplish this feat, and Bigify+ is one of the more straightforward methods of doing so.
At $2.00 on Cydia, Bigify+ gives jailbreakers a wealth of options geared towards changing the way your iPhone's app icons look and feel...
Who doesn't love pirates? A new game called PirateFleet for Friends, by UnitedToy, lets you battle your friends in a game of sinking ships and snatching treasure.
PirateFleet for Friends can best be described as a mix between Hanging With Friends and Battleship. You play against your online friends in a series of games involving the sinking of your opponent's ships. Arg, matey!
CocoaNuts, the developers behind popular Cydia tweaks such as Yourtube 2 and MarkRead, have after what has felt like an eternity, finally updated their latest bluetooth file sharing app Celeste to v1.0- 73.
Celeste was met with bitter reception after its initial release with a plethora of bugs found by users who had purchased it at its limited time launch price of $7.99. Although initial releases are expected to have bugs and faults, Celeste was in no shape to be released. It also didn't help that at the time, its dependency tweak ActionMenu was not updated for iOS 4.3 and wasn't reportedly playing nice with Celeste. It was broken.
Initial Twitter updates from the developers appeared promising but with its last update on Celeste's status on the 10th of April many users were left in the dark as to Celeste's future other than the promise that the tweak would be fixed "…very, very soon".
An update was finally pushed out of no where on June 13th, with no announcement of its release on the @CelesteSupport and @CocoaNuts Twitter feeds...
Yesterday, we told you about the promo video that leaked detailing the upcoming Skype for iPad app. It was later confirmed by Skype that the video was real, and that Skype's official app for the iPad will be available in the App Store next week.
CNET has a hands-on look at Skype's unreleased app for the iPad, and the long-awaited app is set to go live in the App Store on Tuesday...
Very rarely do we come across a truly original app discovery tool. Several apps, like Explor, do a good job at helping you find new apps in the App Store, but few of these discovery tools are actually fun to use.
Discovr already allowed you to discover new music on the iPhone, but a new version of the app makes it an App Store discovery tool for the iPhone and iPad. Instead of the classic list approach, Discovr presents you with a blank canvas that you fill with spider webs of related content.
Intrigued? Let's take a closer look...
While most of its bad publicity has faded into the background, dropped calls are still an issue for AT&T customers (and all carriers) in certain areas. To remedy this problem, many AT&T customers have been directed to switch to the EDGE network when making phone calls.
Apparently, many dropped calls from AT&T iPhone handsets are caused by a 3G data conflict. The iPhone doesn't seem to experience that issue on EDGE networks. But wouldn't it be cumbersome to switch back and forth between EDGE and 3G all the time? Yes. But that's why we jailbreak. Meet DropCall Eliminator...
