We've lost count of the number of times seemingly crazy technology has found its way into everyday hardware years down the line. Come to think of it, there have been some whacky hardware prototypes that have turned into must-have technology - just imagine what a Tablet PC owner would think if you could have put an iPad in front of them way back in the mid 1990s. Technology changes and often ends up making our lives better further down the line, and that's why we're so excited about the invisible iPhone concept we just spied over at Engadget.
The developers at GreenPois0n announced limited edition T-shirts, as well as updates on its future jailbreaking software in a "State of the Chronic" post, providing status update on the the iPad 2 jailbreak, and GreenPois0n support for iOS 4.3.x. No releases yet, but they're close (or are they?)!
The world's first 3rd party App Store, Installer, has been successfully ported to iOS 4.3.3 and below by Infini-Dev Team according to a blog entry on their web site.
The iOS 4.3.x update has brought a fair amount of benefits, including an improved AirPlay featured, which allows users to stream content content from your iDevice to your Apple TV; and Personal Hotspot, allowing users to create a mobile hotspot they can use to connect other devices to the internet via the phone's network. Despite those enhancements, performance was heavily affected in some handsets. Thankfully, a topic at MacRumors has shined a light on how to fix this problem.
Imagine there's an amazing iTunes song, movie or iPhone app you're desperate to get your hands on, but it's not available in your country's iTunes Store. If you're an avid iTunes user, you've probably figured out by now you can create accounts at iTunes Stores from other countries. The only problem with that is it's fairly time-consuming to switch between different iTunes accounts. That was hard until now: meet iTunes Account Switcher, a simple mac application that runs on your menu bar and, as the name implies, lets you switch between multiple iTunes accounts on the fly.
Hands up if you've ever restored your iDevice only to realize you hadn't saved your photos somewhere beforehand? Come on, hands all the way up. That means you at the back!
Apple has submitted a patent that shines a light on how future displays will behave. This patent introduces a way to ensure privacy on portable devices by making the contents of the screen invisible to anyone who's not vertically looking at the device.
Your next iPhone could feature a number of new sensors for working out your location, temperature and even mood according to an interview with Benedetto Vigna.
Verizon just don't seem to be able to keep a lid on it these days, with executives leaking information about smartphone left, right and indeed center. The latest comes courtesy of CFO Fran Shammo with the news that Apple is planning to bring a world phone to market.
We already featured a rather interesting iPad app today, but we're not done. InStyle is an iPad app that lets you picture yourself with 200 convincingly-rendered hairstyles (50 if you're using the free version).
