While there have been some fantastic classics-in-the-making since Apple opened its iTunes App Store nearly five years ago, the app devs have made a mint from recreating and rethinking the old classics - capturing the nostalgic imagination of casual gamers far and wide.
Over the last few years, Cydia has gone from strength to strength to become a very formidable alternative to the official App Store experience that Apple provides on their iOS devices. The official repositories that power Cydia is literally packed to the rafters with packages, tweaks and extensions that have been released for users of jailbroken Apple devices. It may not seem like it on the face of things, but Cydia is actually extremely similar to Apple's store in the fact that packages are regularly updated and require users to physically download the new version of the software to the device when a developer pushes it out.
With the adoption of iOS 5 being relatively high and growing rapidly, most new tweaks which hit the Cydia store have the latest major release of iOS as a firmware dependency before installation can be allowed. The SwipeCam tweak by developer Ron Melkhior that has been released in the last day or so is no different, and offers iOS 5 users the ability to gain access to a few different system toggles through the use of a swipe gesture.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the time has come for you to stop worrying about receiving an astronomical monthly bill from your network provider telling you that you owe them an extortionate amount of money due to the fact that you have massively exceeded your cellular data download limits. In my experience, cellular data is a varying beast. One month I can hardly use it, and the other, I can go way over my allocated service plan limit, meaning that it is very difficult to gauge an average of how much I am likely to use.
Although Apple's main home in Cupertino, California is well-documented throughout the blogosphere and greater tech spectrum, little is actually known about what it looks like on the inside.
If iMessage has changed the way SMS is handled by both customers and carriers, what would happen if Apple did the same thing to the voice calling system?
Like most Twitter users, although I have a select group of apps helping me share my sub-140 characters with the world, I'm always on the lookout for something new - an app with a different trump card than a mere glossy interface.
Over the course of the iPhone’s life, it had to undergo quite a bit of scrutiny in regards to its battery life, with a lot of analysts claiming that it often falls way too short of the estimated life which Apple claims in their literature, and seem quite proud about it in their keynotes.
The release of VoiceMailKiller onto the Cydia store brings a tweak that disable’s the network provided voicemail service that allows callers to leave an oral message, should the intended person being called does not answer for whatever reason. I personally think that the voicemail service on a phone is a vital feature, and I believe that anyone who uses their iPhone for business purposes would agree with me on that.
Although many of those downloading games from the App and Google Play Stores are considered to be "casual games," there still remains a considerable number of "hardcore gamers," constantly seeking remakes of the classic beat-em-up's, RPG's and first-person shooters seen throughout many generations of console gaming.
