Over the course of the iPhone’s life, it had to undergo quite a bit of scrutiny in regards to its battery life, with a lot of analysts claiming that it often falls way too short of the estimated life which Apple claims in their literature, and seem quite proud about it in their keynotes.

Mobile technology is becoming more and more popular around the world, with an ever increasing number of customers signing up to long-term contracts with individual network providers in order to get their hands on the latest top of the range smartphone. For those American-based customers who were looking to grab themselves a high specification device, the chances are they opted for an iPhone on the AT&T network.
Remember those murmurings about the possibility of the Mac getting a Cydia-like store? Well, considering the amount of time that has passed with no further updates about the legitimacy of the project, it would seem that we can put that idea in the 'nice but isn't likely to happen' pile. With that said, all hope should not be lost, especially if the release of the OS X HackStore in the next few months turns out to be a reality.
If you are one of the many people who believe that a Mac is incapable of falling prey to viruses and Trojans, then it is probably the right time for you to rethink your stance on the situation. In fact, if you are the type who panics easily, then you may want to read on with great interest and take note.
One of the most well-known, popular and professionally implemented tweaks for jailbroken iOS devices has to be MyWi, something which has also proved to be a massive hit within iOS users. The team behind the software have been at it again with the release of the updated version of MyWi, taking it to version 5.5. The developers of MyWi have already shown that they have an extremely successful piece of software on their hands, so the news of the 5.5 update should wet the lips of users.
With so much interest in Apple as a company and in their product ranges, it really shouldn't come as a surprise anymore that new introductions and range refreshes can't really sneak in under the radar. With that said, the latest Apple rumor relates to their iMac range and focuses on the speculation that the company could be introducing the Ivy Bridge powered machines in June or July of this year.
For those music lovers out there, the MediaSpeak tweak which has just landed on the Cydia store could be something you have been looking for. If you are a regular iOS device music listener who always has their headphones on, then this little package could add a little bit of extra depth to your listening experience, as well as actually providing a very good little audible service to users. MediaSpeak is essentially a very lightweight installation that hooks into the Music app on your jailbroken device and listens to when a new song begins playing back.
When Apple flipped the switch to push out iOS 5.1, it wasn't exactly a mind-blowing update, bringing only minimal changes for users. One of those little updates was one that was only available to AT&T users with an iPhone 4S and came in the form of a '4G' indicator in the status bar that replaced the 3G symbol.
At one point in time not so long ago, Dropbox was the definitive chosen method for users who required some kind of cloud-based storage for their documents, files or any sort of information. The Dropbox service gives away 2GB of free of charge cloud storage with the option to increase that said storage if required through the purchase of premium accounts, but it also has powerful native Mac, iOS and Android apps which make things a lot easier for users of the service.
Sometimes people use Cydia just to browse through the store and see what is available. In a lot of circumstances, the information about a tweak or package doesn't really give away that much of a great deal, so the best thing to do is; install it on the device and play around with it to see what the functionality is and what the tweak or package offers. The new LockDate tweak doesn't come with a long list of information, but it is quite evident what it does.
