Microsoft has pointed the finger and claimed that it's unfair for Apple to trademark the phrase "App Store." Microsoft claims that the term is too generic, and that other companies should be able to use the phrase for their own mobile marketplaces.
Apple has had enough of Microsoft's wining, and has retaliated by calling out the generic nature of the term "Windows." Bet you didn't see that coming, Microsoft.
Windows users rejoice! GreenPois0n has been released for Windows machines after seeing a few days of exclusivity for the Mac.
It was earlier today when we reported that the Windows version would make it to jailbreakers this weekend, and now the Chronic Dev Team has made good on its promises.
Check inside for the details and the download...
We've got some good news for Windows users! Yesterday, Chronic Dev Team member, @p0sixninja announced that the Windows version of Greenpois0n RC5 should be released "tomorrow or the next day", meaning this weekend.
For those that have been out of the know lately, The Chronic Dev Team officially released Greenpois0n RC5 yesterday, providing the first iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak for all iOS devices without the need of any SHSH blobs...
The untethered society is becoming more of a reality each and every day, with the latest development being ubiquitous cloud printing from Google.
Google Cloud Print allows those of you on iOS devices to print directly from Google Docs Mobile or Mobile Gmail, over the air to any printer configured to use the service.
Details on how to set it up inside...
Microsoft already has a few apps in Apple's App Store, such as, Bing and Windows Live Messenger. However, no Microsoft Office programs have made their way to the iOS platform - that is, until now. (Don't get your hopes up, there's still no Word app for iPhone.)
Microsoft has released its note-syncing app in the App Store, which will work with its Windows desktop counterpart. This move by Microsoft is an obvious attempt at further reaching out to the mobile worker and student. OneNote is packaged in the Mac bundle of the Microsoft Office suite, but Windows users will be happy to know they can now take their Office notes with them thanks to the beauty of cloud-sync technology...
There are plenty of ways to access the files on your iPhone, whether through iTunes, SSH, SFTP, iFile, or a multitude of apps. However, adding automatic network sharing to your setup takes quite a few steps out of connecting to your device.
I tried these in an attempt to get my video game media center to read files on my iPhone from inside the network. If you'd like to turn your iPhone into a shared network drive for any reason, there are two particular Cydia packages that you should try today...
I love apps that make my life easier. And when they're really useful, I don't mind paying a little for them. The 5 apps I will mention in this list are not jailbreak apps, so everyone can use them.
Each of these apps is either designed to increase your productivity or make some aspect of your technology life better. They all aren't necessarily cheap, but there are free/lite versions of some. These 5 apps are utilities I use on a daily basis, so they're near and dear to my heart...
We recently linked to a Cydia app that was rumored to enable HD video recording on the iPhone 3GS. Apparently, that app didn't work. There is, however, an easy way to enable HD recording through some file modifications on your iPhone 3GS.
The 3GS has had the ability to shoot in HD since it was released. Apple, for whatever reason, places a software limitation on the 3GS video recording capabilities. The ARM Cortext processor inside the 3GS is more than capable of handling 720p video encoding. I'm going to walk you through the easiest way to enable HD video recording on your 3GS...
Does an iPhone-integrated keyboard for your Mac or PC sound interesting? The Korean tech company, Omnio, thinks so.
The WOWKey device is a desktop keyboard that boasts iPhone integration through a built-in dock. This "made for iPhone" keyboard is the first of its kind, offering extensive integration with iOS. This inventive gadget opens up a world of possibilities...
According to a tweet from MuscleNerd, iPhone jailbreak developer Chpwn will soon start working on a Windows version of the PwnageTool jailbreak. To date, PwnageTool is a Mac only jailbreak that allows you to update your iPhone to a jailbroken firmware while preserving the baseband so you can unlock your iPhone.
The news about PwnageTool for Windows came from an argument between MuscleNerd and iH8Sn0w on Twitter. I've never been a huge fan of iH8Sn0w and his Sn0wBreeze tool, and it seems that the Dev Team isn't either...
