It wasn’t long ago that I wrote of the declining number of reasons to jailbreak as Apple adds new features into iOS. Last night I made the jump in jailbreaking my iPad for the sole reason of multitasking. I’m tired of waiting on Apple and this should hold me over until iOS 4.0 hits the iPad this Fall. If you were eyeing up Multifl0w but held off because of its $4.99 price tag, here’s...
If you’re looking for an easy way out of a Father’s Day present or it completely slipped your mind, here are a few apps that you might consider gifting, especially if your dad’s a new owner of an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. Don’t forget that you can actually gift the apps in iTunes, all you need is his iTunes Account’s email address. ESPN ScoreCenter Chances are your dad is a fan of...
Google’s Android operating system (OS) continues to grow, but for some reason the application developers out there don’t seem to be getting that excited about it, and are choosing to remain faithful to the iOS platform. Mobile advertising company Millennial Media has released its latest Mobile Mix report for May, and while the Android OS appears to have reached a 15 percent market...
The iPhone 4 is upon us, and while its so exciting to drool over all the new features, it makes you wonder what it means for all of the other iOS devices. The iPod Touch launched the same year as the iPhone, and it has followed the same roadmap as its bigger brother for the most part. There has been some divergence in their paths, but you have to figure some cues will be followed this...
Steve Jobs has become an e-mailing machine as of late. Perhaps it is because the iPad offers him a larger keyboard? Whatever the case may be, Mr. Jobs has to be well aware that seemingly everything he writes in response to people is becoming a matter of public record. The number of articles written about his e-mail responses have become staggering. I’m waiting for someone to ask him...
The iPod Touch has always been thought of as the little brother to the iPhone. The first version was introduced the same year as the iPhone, and ever since then the phone version has been announced in the summer, and the iPod version has followed up in Sept. at the annual music event. So, now that we have a fairly good idea of what the fourth generation iPhone will bring us, does this...
There is definitely something afoot at the Apple App Store, but what exactly is causing this sudden, and seemingly random, change in direction from Apple is left solely to our imaginations at this point. Back on Feb. 18th, it came to light that Apple was beginning to ban sexually suggestive applications from the App Store. One developer shared the e-mail he received from Apple with...
Since the debut of the first device to run the iPhone OS (iOS), there’s been a substantially loud community calling for the inclusion of Adobe Flash. Nearly three years later, there’s been no progress made and none in sight. With last week’s announcement of the iPad and it’s glaring Flash omission came a backlash that’ll affect sales through multiple hardware revisions. So what’s...
We’ve all gotten used to having the ability to make cheap, or even free, phone calls from our computers and standard phones thanks to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology, but wouldn’t it be nice to have those same abilities when you’re mobile, or even when you don’t feel like sitting in front of your computer? Thanks to numerous application developers for the iPhone and iPod...
Before you get all excited about the possibility of Apple’s popular iTunes music service moving into the cloud space, have you considered the possible implications of just how much this is going to change the overall digital music landscape? Ever since the news last week of Apple buying Lala, everyone and their brother seems to have immediately jumped to the conclusion that Apple is...
