Apple has invested a lot of time and money into their mobile devices and the advanced iOS software that powers them. Hardware such as the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad are some of the most powerful examples of mobile consumer tech on the market today, with Apple's mobile operating system being the perfect companion, thanks to its advanced features and elegant aesthetics.
Before, during, and after the big IPO, Facebook has been working hard to create some sort of reputation in mobile space. For all its wondrous web endeavors, Mark Zuckerberg's company has not been able, so far, to replicate the dominance on the devices of today, which has been the proverbial elephant in the room for a good couple of years now.
You only need to have a quick look through the photography and video section of the official App Store to realize just how popular these types of applications are for the iPhone and iPod touch. The fantastic quality of the Retina display and the powerful abilities of the embedded camera units on Apple's latest generation iOS devices literally cry out for a functional application that takes advantage of that hardware.
If you are a smartphone user and aren't concerned about privacy and the security of your information then it could possibly be the time that you started to give it a little thought. Most iPhone and iOS device owners have a large number of apps installed, a number of which have some kind of personal information stored within them.
I’m a big fan of music discovery services but, unfortunately, the most popular ones like Pandora, Spotify, last.FM don’t work outside a handful of supported countries where streaming music from big music labels is allowed. Outside these countries, you have services like GrooveShark which, really, is the poor man’s Spotify. There is, however, one not-so-famous service that not only works outside the USA and Europe but also offers excellent music discovery features for free.
The iPhone 4S takes photos that one would generally expect from a (low-end) dedicated point-and-shoot camera. In smartphone speak, that is class-leading image quality.
I don't imagine that I am the only person in the world who spends most of his day buried face first into an iPhone, iPad or MacBook. And in that respect, said devices become something I depend on and can't honestly get my day's social and professional work done without them. It sounds pretty weird to say out loud, but the three Apple products I use daily have almost become an extension of who I am and I therefore like them set up just right.
Regardless of whether you happen to be an experienced iOS device owner who upgrades to the latest release religiously or are relatively new to the Apple device owning world, it should come as no surprise that an iPhone or iPod touch is an extremely powerful device that rivals anything on the market today. Although an out of the box iDevice experience is an extremely pleasurable one, when combined with a jailbreak, it is taken to a new level with new features and enhancements becoming available.
If you are a proud owner of an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 5 or above and are feeling a little envious of those registered developers who get early access to iOS 6 and all of the new and sparkly features that it brings, then thankfully a jailbreak tweak will alleviate some of your jealousy. When Apple introduced iOS 6 at WWDC this month, they showcased a number of new features including some of the advancements in social sharing, specifically the inclusion of Twitter and Facebook sharing directly to Notification Center.
The Championships, Wimbledon – the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis Grand Slam event – is all set to start in a week’s time on June 25th.
