Sn0wbreeze has finally been updated to v2.9.7, bringing in support for iOS 6 / iOS 6.0.1 on Pre-A5 powered devices such as the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the 4th-gen iPod touch.
It's absolutely true that there is an app for just about everything on the App Store. If you want to take notes, there's more than enough choice out there. It's the same if you want a particular genre of game, too. There's one type of app we've not really come across before, though, and it goes by the way of Kount.ly.
Setting reminders and alerts based on a location isn't really anything new in terms of the underlying technology, but as we have seen so many times in the past, things seem to come to the forefront when large companies like Apple or Facebook adopt them and put them them back into the public eye. With the launch of iOS 5, Apple brought us the stock Reminders app that features location aware reminders and to-do tasks, but now thanks to the Location Alerts app for iPhone we also have the ability to schedule text messages and calls based entirely on location.
The latest game from Rovio, Angry Birds Star Wars, has proven to be a real hit with iOS gamers, as the new release reached the top of the App Store charts in less than three hours, setting a new record in the process.
Here at Redmond Pie, we of course love our tech news. But as much as we enjoy following Apple versus Samsung, Facebook's latest changes, or Windows Phone 8, what we really look forward to is that rare, ingenuous geeky product or concept that comes along only every once in a while. As much as it entertains us to see a new implementation to iOS 6 or a great Android mod, nothing in the regular flow of tech coverage could really compete with, say, a smartphone which also made toast. While we're probably a way off a crispy, golden-brown breakfast accompaniment, one intuitive soul at a London university has created to type using a keyboard made out of paper. Sounds interesting?

The "iWatch" concept is one that has never properly left our thoughts. In fact, ever since Apple began making iPods, iPhones, and iProducts in general, a denomination of consumers (mainly of the "geek" variety) have dreamed that the Cupertino may one day create a product offering innovative features, which could double up - or function entirely - as a watch. The iPod nano of yesteryear showed promise in this particular field, but Apple went the other way with its revamped, much larger nano this year, so it's back to square one.
We are always interested in new apps that are released onto different mobile platforms, specifically those that aren't just carbon copies of other creations and actually offer something a little different. The Sayonara app - released only yesterday - may not be the most feature packed app on the iOS App Store but it does offer a rather handy little notification system that alerts users when a Twitter follower has the audacity to hit that Unfollow button.
We've been teased by Rovio with screenshots and short video casts over the last few weeks showcasing their latest edition to the extremely popular Angry Birds franchise, but now the wait is finally over as Angry Birds Star Wars is officially available to purchase.
DC Comics, arguably the biggest in the business, has today announced that its books will be made available via the iBooks Store, Kindle Store and Nook Stores, adding three new ways of downloading content to the already considerable array of options.
It's no real secret that Foxconn - primary manufacturer of most iOS devices for Apple - has struggled to come to terms with the new iPhone 5. Last month, we reported on the company's toil to get the handset assembled without damaging the scratch-prone aluminum backplate, and now the company's chairman has come out and admitted it hasn't managed to meet the huge demand of the iPhone 5's production.
