Fring has been my favorite video chat app that I use on my Galaxy Tab. I have always preferred using it because of multi-OS support for the video chat. Furthermore, the video chat always went through even if the called party had no front facing cam on his/her device. Now, Fring has just gotten even better with the four-way free video calls enabled for just everyone on the planet.
Apple's mythical white iPhone 4 is finally on the cusp of a release, with the handset going on sale in just a few short hours. Some lucky buyers got their a little early though, and iSpazio has done just what any self-respecting fanboy (or girl) would do - taken some video of the phone's antenna and proximity sensor performance.
While there's no real reason to want to run an iPad app on your iPhone or iPod touch, few will argue that this is just plain old cool. One clever little coder has written an app called iTelePad2Pod that will make the magic happen. Obviously a jailbroken device is a necessity here, but you already did that didn't you?
Apple has finally issued an official statement on the iPhone location tracking issue which had the whole blogosphere going into a meltdown over the fact the iPhone was tracking our every move.
With rumors still circulating about the yet unannounced iPhone 5 it seems the iPhone 6 is already in the media spotlight, with Japanese newspaper Nikkan claiming the 6th incarnation of Apple's iconic smartphone will use a new type of screen manufactured by Sharp.
We told you a couple of days ago about a handy little app that allows users to download iOS firmware files direct from the web, as well as listing what apps are required in order to jailbreak and unlock each one. The only issue was ipswDownloader was OS X only. Thanks to one individual, that's no-longer the case.
This whole sordid affair started when I was (un)fortunate enough to spy a blog post at TheAtlantic by Alexis Madrigal, the site's Senior Editor. In his lengthy post Alexis (you don't mind if I call you Alexis do you?) waxed lyrical about the impending apocalypse thanks to a piece of software called Lantern. This OS X application allows a user - obviously malicious - to gain access to an iOS device and browse all the data it's been collecting on its unwitting user. Such scary information includes the photos you've taken, where they were taken (thanks to the location information stored inside it. Yes, that's the information you told it to save when you first opened the Camera app) and your SMS history. Your Safari browsing history is also available.
It's been on the cards but today one Belgian retailer confirmed 100% that the white iPhone 4 is nigh, with stocks of the mythical and much-delayed device arriving ready for sale.
With all the screaming and shouting about the iPhone's penchant for collecting data on its user's location, PC Mag saw fit to reach out to various players in the mobile market, namely Nokia, RIM, Google, HP and Microsoft. Only one replied, the always-willing-to-blow-their-own-horn Microsoft.
In a move that surely shocks nobody, Apple is now being sued by two customers who claim their iPhones and iPads have been tracking their movements as reported recently. They claim an invasion of privacy has taken place and have sought legal action.
