Of all the features of iOS hitherto, the Notes app has remained largely untouched, making for a nice, simple – if a little under-featured – note-taking utility.
Since being released in a blaze of glory along with iOS 5 back in October of last year, Siri has been a mainstay in the tech headlines. Unfortunately for the majority, Apple’s system-wide voice recognition software was only officially supported on the brand-new iPhone 4S – leaving some iPad, iPod touch and owners of older iPhones feeling a little underhanded.
Another day, and yet another Siri-based tweak emerges from the Cydia Store. Today's, which takes into account the equally-new Notification Center, allows you to launch the voice-activated technology with a simple downward swipe of the status bar.
Turning an Android smartphone into something like an iPhone or a Windows Phone (or vice versa) is a very common type of customization that people like to do. It lets them enjoy the functionality of one mobile platform while having the looks of another. Although I am not at all a fan of such customization, if you’re the type who wishes to make their Android look like an iPhone, this post is for you.
The official iOS App Store has been open for business since July 2008, and in that time, it has passed a number of significant milestones including breaching the 100,000 available applications mark as well as dishing out billions of dollars to developers in the last four years. The popularity of the App Store has considered to grow as it gets older, with thousands of registered developers around the world submitting more and more free and commercial applications on a daily basis.
You can't really call yourself a gamer unless you have sampled the joys of Max Payne. Originally released more years ago than we care to remember - we're all getting old now, you know! - the game sees ex-DEA and NYPD cop Max Payne seek revenge for the murder of his wife and daughter.
It is growing to be an increasingly difficult task to keep up with who owns what patents, and with companies applying for, and being granted more and more, the task looks set to be come even more tasking. We have seen news coming out of California in the last few days that Apple have just been awarded an additional nineteen patents related to various products and technologies, one of which relates to the design of their ultra thin MacBook Air range.
Somehow, iOS commentator BlogdoiPhone has supposedly gotten wind of a "pre-GM" leak of the upcoming iteration of iOS, which is iOS 5.1. GM, initialism of Golden Master, usually refers to the final version so, if true, the information and images below would appear to paint the full picture as to what Apple has in the pipeline.
With many of us running multiple e-mail and social networking accounts - as well as the bread and butter address book - keeping track of it all can often leave our heads spinning in confusion.
That's right, folks, today we present to you yet another Cydia tweak regarding Apple's voice-recognition software. Spire, the best Siri port available for older iOS devices, has been quite a hit amongst those wielding jailbroken devices.
