I guess it was only a matter of time until we started seeing applications and programs being released for other operating systems which took inspiration from Siri, the new personal assistant on the Apple iPhone 4S. The Siri intelligent voice analysis software has been extremely well received by consumers and is one of the main selling points of the 4S moniker-bearing device.
You've heard of the Apple iPhone right? You know, the revolutionary device released in 2007, that changed the way we think about smartphones and pretty much made sure that other manufacturers had to raise their game when it came to cell phone design?
We are coming to the end of the Christmas period which generally means that pockets are empty, credit cards are at the limit and households contain a large number of happy people who have been on the receiving end of some generous gifts. If sales figures and trends are anything to go by, it seems that a lot of people are giving the gift of consumer electronics this year which inevitably means smartphones and tablets would have been sitting nicely wrapped under the tree.
Another day, another iOS 5 tweak and this time it is the turn of developer Fr0zen Sun to release his latest tweak to the growing number of jailbroken iOS 5 users. Thanks to the hard work of pod2g, the Chronic Dev Team and the iPhone Dev Team developers releasing tweaks intended for use on version five of Apple's mobile operating system now have a much larger audience.
Step forward Sir Jonathan Ive. That is how Apple's head of design will now be able to officially introduce himself after being made a knight commander of the British empire in the new years honours list. Jonathan is famous around the world as the man who led the design teams who came up with the aesthetics and form factor behind the iMac, Powerbook G4, G4 Cube, MacBook, unibody MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPod, iPhone and the iPad.
This is the time of the year when we sit pretty much in the middle of when the current version of the iPad was released and when the industry expects the next generation device to be launched. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that the rumor mill is working on overtime with alleged leaked information, images and specifications popping up all over the web.
When any new jailbreak is released, the majority of the social interest seems to be about the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. The portable Apple TV device doesn’t seem to command a large slice of the attention, but it is worth noting that the device does run its own version of iOS and as a result can be jailbroken untethered, all thanks to pod2g’s exploit.
It was only yesterday that we brought you the news that the official Facebook messenger for the Windows operating system had been leaked and was doing the rounds as a private installation file. The chat client followed in the footsteps of Google Talk and Windows Live Messenger to offer a full chat service which utilizes the social feed and friends from your Facebook account.
The Android versus iOS debate will never end. The two operating systems have their die hard fans who will argue until they are blue in the face about why their chosen OS is better than its rivals. No matter which side of the fence you sit on, I'm sure any reasonable person can concede that each operating system has its plus points.
