Today sees something of an oddity, for two high-powered CEOs and an army of legal help will sit down and try to thrash out an end to one of the longest, most tedious legal battles we can think of. There may be blood!

Earlier today, Pod2g took to his Twitter timeline to confirm to the world that his upcoming untethered jailbreak for devices running iOS 5.1.1 is in its final stages, and will be released in the coming days, but no exact ETA was given. And now, Xvolks, who is a part of Pod2g’s jailbreak team has shown off the untether in action on video using an updated version of the tool which gained a lot of fame and attraction a few months back, Absinthe.

If there are two pieces of technology that have come about in the last five years that have the power to change the way we work and play, the Apple iPad and Microsoft Kinect top the list. Both promised to add a new dimension to both the mundane and the enjoyable things in life, and whether they have managed just that is very much up for debate.

Imgupr is a new iPhone and iPad app that makes getting images and photos from an iOS device and into Reddit or Imgur, as easy as possible. Oh, and it’s free.

Tennis has to be one of the most underrated but highly contested sports around. When it comes to major tournaments, they don’t come any bigger than the French Open, otherwise known as Les Internationaux de France de Roland-Garros. Named after French aviator Roland Garros, the French Open spans across a period of two weeks and features some of the best tennis players in the world all coming together on the clay courts of the Stade Roland Garros.

It’s always nice to wake up to some good news relating to the jailbreak scene, and that is exactly what has happened this morning.

Predicting the weather is a notoriously difficult affair. While the technology used to predict what the weather will do has improved greatly over the years, as has the end result, it is a well known fact that trusting the weatherman is still not the easiest thing in the world to do.

While plenty of new titles have been born of the iOS ecosystem – notably the likes of Angry Birds, Cut The Rope and Tiny Wings, there’s still plenty of space in our hearts for those older, nostalgic classics. Sonic the Hedgehog is an absolute classic, particularly to those who used to love collecting those golden rings on their Sega Game Gear, and with a few titles featuring Sonic and Tails already gracing iPhones, iPads and iPod touches worldwide, the second episode to Sonic The Hedgehog 4 has just been released by Sega America.

Apple’s iTunes Festival has increased in popularity since first launching in 2007, and has just released details of some of this year’s featured acts, including popular artists such as Usher and Norah Jones.

The news of Pod2g’s progress regarding an untethered iOS 5.1.x untethered jailbreak earlier this week made for exciting reading, and via a blog post, he revealed which devices will be compatible once released. And now, pod2g has confirmed via a tweet on Twitter, that the iPhone 3GS and the third-gen iPod touch have been tested as working along with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, whilst each iPad iteration will also be supported. Although the iPad 2′s jailbreak currently only covers the Wi-Fi model, both the Wi-Fi an CDMA versions of the recently released new iPad will see the untethered jailbreak!

While there have been many mobile gaming hits from both Apple’s App Store and Google’s rivaling Play Store, only a select few could be categorized as “the elite”. You know, the games which consumers have on their devices so often, they could become a stock feature; the titles boasting cutting-edge graphics with addictive gameplay enticing new users to keep purchasing the sequels year in, year out.

One of the things I personally found most fascinating about the late, great Steve Jobs was his dogmatic approach to everything that he did. Unfazed by skepticism, he took visions and ideas, remained vigorously dedicated to them, and while some were relatively hit-and-miss, the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak has produced some of the most iconic and era-defining devices and innovations ever seen.

Those playing games on mobile devices are invariably referred to as “casual gamers”, despite the quality of gameplay and graphics knocking on the door of the hardcore titles we know and love from the consoles. If research gathered by mobile game developer MocoSpace is anything to go by, casual is certainly an apt description of today’s mobile gamers, with a third playing titles while they ought to be working hard in class!

With all eyes set towards WWDC next month for any news pertaining to the next version of Apple’s iOS, it is easy to put out of our minds the persistent rumor about Apple releasing a miniature version of the iPad.

Flash games are a great way to kill time, and social network Facebook – along with various dedicated sites – offer thousands upon thousands of them. From Disc Pool to Words With Friends, if you’re feeling like procrastinating, said sites are more than accommodating.

There has been a lot of internet chatter over the last week or so about Ashton Kutcher transforming himself to look like Apple founder Steve Jobs for the upcoming Jobs movie. The movie itself will more than likely end up being a cult hit, mainly because of the coverage it has received, but also because of the popularity of Jobs himself. It seems Kutcher will most definitely play a convincing role, but he may not be the only actor to play Steve Jobs on the big screen.

We manage to get through boatloads of photo-based apps here at Redmond Pie, and thanks to the rise of Instagram, there are now hundreds – maybe thousands of apps available, which has seen the quality of this category rise to meteoric levels.

Ever since the release of iOS 5 alongside the iPhone 4S, Apple has been struggling to bring the battery life up to par. At first the belief was that perhaps the issue was hardware related, rather than the software that it shipped with. Soon though, it was clear that owners of the iPhone 4 and other hardware were also suffering from less than stellar battery life. Problems indeed.

Although it is highly likely that it will take another five months or so until Apple decides to introduce the world to their sixth-generation iPhone, the company thankfully never leaves technology fans waiting too long before it gives us something to get excited about. Apple has only recently pushed out iOS 5.1.1 to the public, but with their annual Worldwide Developer Conference looming, recent findings are adding to the speculation that we will see iOS 6 introduced at the event in San Francisco.
