With the release of Apple's iOS 5 beta last week the jailbreak community set about writing 3rd-party widgets to replace the bundled Stock and Weather examples. We've already seen a variety of new widgets find their way into Cydia for those with jailbroken iOS 5 devices and the latest to enter the fray is one we'd all been quietly waiting for - an RSS reader.
We love Google. Specifically, we love Google search. That's not to say we don't love their Gmail. Or their Google Docs for that matter. It's just that, well, search is what makes the internet merry-go-round work. Before Google we had AltaVista and co, and we all remember how poor that was!
According to recently leaked internal documents, containing roughly 50 MB worth of images and documents, Facebook is getting ready to unveil a new picture sharing app for the iPhone, and presumably for other platforms as well. Details are scarce, but leaked pictures give away a few hints.
Our iPhones have become the home of our digital lives over the last few years. If you're anything like me, then the chances are you spend more time fiddling around on your iPhone than you do using an actual computer these days. One of the main draws of smartphones is their 'always-on' nature - if you're not sat at home connected to a WiFi network then there's always the 3G signal when you're out and about. The problem is 3G isn't cheap, and with unlimited data plans fast becoming a thing of the past we all need a proper way of monitoring the amount of data we're using, and the measuring built into iOS just won't cut it.
When Apple announced iOS 5 during its WWDC keynote last week, one of the many new features was a completely revamped way of managing notifications, dubbed the 'Notification Center'.
Ever wished you could view your Twitter timeline from iOS 5's Notification Center? WeeTwitter is an iOS tweak that displays your newest tweets, @-replies, private messages and even saved searches right on your Notification Center. This tweak was developed by Tyler Flowers, a US-based teenager who developed his first iOS app just a few weeks ago. Now he's venturing in the jailbreak community as well.
If you've been using a jailbroken iOS device for a while, you're probably familiar with SBSettings, an iOS tweak that lets users access basic settings without having to access System Preferences. While that tweak still works, now there's UISettings, simpler and easier-to-use mod that integrates right into iOS 5's new Notifications Center.
People tend to form a binary relation with Autocorrect on smartphones. They either love it so much that they have trouble living without it or they hate it so much they disable it forever. Today, we’ll talk about a newly released app called Autocorrector which aims to makes lovers out of the haters. Read after the break!
While we’ve covered apps in the past that help protect your data on iOS, but no other app does the job with as much flair as the just released Ben the Bodyguard.
By default, iOS uses fairly minimalistic sliding transitions when moving back and forth between panels in many applications, including the built-in System Preferences App. PagePusher replaces that with a page-turning effect, which you may either find beautiful or incredibly annoying.
