iOS 5 is expected to bring with it some juicy new features, not least a new notification system and application developers are starting to see the next iOS version show up in the stats they receive from Apple. Proof the company is ramping up testing, perhaps?

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Ahh, those crazy hackers. They like nothing more than a bit of competition mixed in with their late nights and Mountain Dew. It appears some new-old competition just joined the race to dump the iPad 2's bootrom.
We all thought that now the white iPhone is starting to get into the hands of eager punters the world over, the drama of this particular unicorn was at an end. Turns out though, there's more to come. As the iPhoneDownloadBlog writes, some of the white iPhones shipped out by Apple may be special units, and could even possess Apple's own in-house software.
It's really not been a great week for Sony. The news that their PlayStation Network had been hacked was bad enough, but then the Japanese electronics giant was forced to tell its 70 million users that their personal data, and even their credit card details may have been stolen.
Samsung's Galaxy S II has barely been launched and thanks to developer Chainfire of XDA-Developer fame, it has been rooted already for full file system access.
With the recent release of the white iPhone 4, we had hoped we could finally, officially put the whole story to bed - you can only write so many words on a different color of a phone that's been out nearly a year after all.

Back in the early days of jailbreaking, there was a young Cydia competitor going by the name of Icy. Working in a similar way to Cydia, Icy was always the faster, smoother and generally shinier app aggregator and download service. Unfortunately development on the app was ceased but now it's on its way back, and you can download a beta version right now.
If there's one thing, the iPhone isn't short of it's docks. Companies make millions each year by giving use thousands of different ways to stop our iPhones falling over, but we've never seen one that incorporates a full keyboard before. This is where CompuExpert comes in.
Microsoft today released its Q3 2011 financial results and they're good with the numbers beating those expected by all the analysts with net income reaching a staggering $5.23billion.
One of the most common questions asked of people in the iOS jailbreak community is a simple one: why should I jailbreak my device? It's a hard one to answer - some like the powerful tools, others just want to customize their home screen. Head of all things Geek Robert Scoble decided to ask this very same question of the guy behind the jailbreak App Store Cydia, Jay Freeman and filmed the answers.
