The folks at Twitter are just as excited for iOS 5 as we are, with Apple set to unveil the final version of the software to the public alongside a new iPhone on Tuesday.
In iOS 5, Twitter has been integrated at a system level into the OS to give users the ability to share statuses and photos with friends on the popular social network. In a recent interview, Twitter talked about how it expects huge growth and increased popularity from its iOS 5 integration...
Every week, iDB picks interesting iPhone and iPad apps to show you. While we tend to choose apps from the App Store, we occasionally throw in a web or jailbreak app as well.
This week, we've got two awesome App Store apps and one web app for you to check out. We hope you enjoy this week's picks!
For many iDevice owners, the ability to use custom themes has been more of a secondary benefit to jailbreaking, than an outright reason to jailbreak, but that's beginning to change.
With the rise in popularity of theme platforms such as DreamBoard, and the WinterBoard enhancing theme stores such as ThemeIt, there's little doubt that many are seeing this as the reason to jailbreak their iDevices.
CodeThemed takes the premise of theming to the next level, allowing users to easily and quickly create their own custom themes; rate, share, and download from a community of users. Be sure to check out the full in-depth video walkthrough after the break...
Turntable.fm has released its official iPhone app. Like we told you about last week, Turntable.fm has been working on an iPhone app that lets users access its hugely popular music social network.
Since the app's release in the App Store a couple days ago, Turntable.fm for iPhone has been receiving mixed responses of criticism and praise. All of the aspects that you love about Turntable.fm on the desktop have been ported to the iPhone, so start DJing!
When Facebook entered the murky waters of the instant messaging business with Facebook Messenger, many eyebrows were raised by its US-only launch. With over 700 million users worldwide, that left a fair chunk unable to take advantage of Facebook's latest venture.
As of now, that's an issue that's on its way to being addressed, with Facebook Messenger now being made available in the U.K. App Store...
Formspring has launched its official iPhone app. There are many unofficial apps for Formspring in the App Store, much like the Facebook iPad app.
The official Formspring app lets you ask and reply to questions. You can also respond to questions with text and video.
Google's first real foray into the world of social networks, Google+, is growing rapidly. The network's numbers have grown steadily since its inception.
If you're really going to jump into the Google+ world with both feet, you'll be needing to get your photos into imported, and chances are they're already housed in another network or online storage system.
A new app, Google+ Photo Importer, offers a quick and easy way for iPhone users to move their photos from a selection of online services and social networks straight into Google+...
Google has pushed out an updated version of its Google Plus iPhone and iPod touch app via the App Store, bringing with it various bug fixes, along with the much wished for 'reshare' feature.
The update brings the app up to version number 1.0.3.2124, and attempts to give the iOS app parity with its Android-based cousin. The reshare ability was added to the Android app recently, and Apple's App Store approval process has been the reason for the delay on this side of the iPhone/Android divide.
For those that have ever wondered if the big developers get special treatment in the App Store, you just got your answer...
Apple hasn't been successful at the social network scene. There was Game Center (Do people still use that?). And there was the diaster known as Ping.
Apple hasn't gained traction with social network integration in iTunes, but the Cupertino company looks to be stepping up its game in iOS 5. It's already been announced that there will be Twitter integration in iOS 5, and recent findings point towards a new social network from Apple dubbed "Find My Friends."
With the App Store flourishing with hundreds of thousands of apps, it sure is getting hard for developers to make their apps stand out. An app either has to receive a large amount of funding, or have plenty of style and just work well. Trover is the latter.
Trover is like a micro social network that allows you to take geotagged photos and share them with your friends/followers and the surrounding community. When you open the app you will see its great UI thrown together on the main screen. It uses your location and finds all the photos that were taken in your close proximity...
