The App Store may already be choc-full of top games that are designed for the large touch screens that adorn iPads and iPhones, but that doesn't stop some of us from yearning for the games of yesteryear. If you're carrying a jailbroken iOS device then there is no shortage of ways to get your nostalgic fix, but it's not always quite so simple if you're not.
Before the iPhone made its grand entry into our lives, mobile gaming was mainly done on standalone, dedicated devices like Sony's PlayStation Portable, or PSP. Even though the App Store, along with Google Play and the Windows Phone Store now offer graphically-intensive that at times, exceed what the PSP is capable of, it's still fun to dust the old consoles down now and again for a bit of nostalgia-induced fun. Thanks to a feature-rich PSP emulator, though, you can now relive those much-loved PSP games on your iOS device, and below, you'll see exactly how it's done.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie is pretty much just around the corner, with the action film hitting the theatres on May 2. Tagging along is the mobile game with the same title, courtesy of Gameloft, to be released for the iPhone/iPad, Android and Windows Phone. Today, the game developer has released a new trailer for the upcoming title and given it a firm release date for all three platforms - April 17.
At the tail-end of last year, we presented a guide that showed jailbroken iOS 7 users how to utilize the Cydia Store for the purpose of speeding up their devices. But if you don't, for whatever reason, happen to have introduced your device to the wonders of Evasi0n, we've outlined a few tips that could help you speed up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running stock firmware, specifically for hardware that is old, like the iPhone 4, 4s, etc.
It's fair to say that majority of the users jailbreak their iOS device with the intention of installing one or two essential packages to improve the overall experience which Apple provides out of the box. For those individuals, Cydia is thought of purely as a third-party app store and interacted with as such. However, there are also a number of power users who are passionate about jailbreaking and occasionally want to peek inside the executable files that make up the tweaks that they're installing. If you happen to be one of those, and want to gain access to a .DEB file through your device then carry on reading.
It's relatively rare that a mobile game comes along and manages to generate as much excitement and pre-release hype that the Family Guy announcement managed last December. Sure, there's been a string of extremely popular smash hit games that have immediately benefited from going viral and getting tons of downloads and success on the back of that. However, the Family Guy franchise is an existing household name that already boasts an animated TV series, along with a whole heap of official merchandise. Add to that a stunning, extremely fun and visually impressive mobile game that's now available to download for iOS and Android.
Even though Apple bumped the multitasking credentials of its fleet of mobile devices with the iOS 7 update, it's fair to say that even though the appearance and functionality has improved, the Cupertino company's mobile OS still doesn't offer "true" multitasking functionality akin to, say, the Galaxy Pro tablet series. But instead of waiting and hoping for Apple to deliver the goods, jailbreaker Evan Swick has come through with a very interesting tweak called OS Experience, and as the name implies, it allows a user to run apps in windowed mode, just like the OS X desktop. Although not yet available, the demo video, which you can catch below, looks very, very promising indeed.
Siri may have become something of a modern cult figure since its introduction alongside the iPhone 4s back in 2011, but with the big announcement of Windows Phone 8.1 last week, Microsoft also took the wraps off Cortana, its very own Siri alternative. Given the very nature of the mobile market, we know that competition will be fierce, and as per a very funny, mocked-up parade of the respective voice assistants on an American chat show, the blue touchpaper has already been well and truly lit.
When Apple first announced the original iPad, many people in the technology industry started a debate about whether it could ever be a device for creating content. Many decided that the touch-based input method meant that the iPad and other tablets were simply not suited to content creation, with consumption being the name of the game. While watching movies, viewing images and reading text are possibly the biggest reason to own an iPad, the years since that first iPad introduction have proven that there's plenty to be built on an iPad.
Back in the era of Steve Jobs, the Apple iPad was always touted as a post-PC device, but aside from partially replacing the traditional desktop / notebook as we know it, the Cupertino's slate is also changing the way we take notes and organize our lives. In no situation is this fact more apparent than in the day-to-day life of Bollywood choreographer Feroz Khan, who now utilizes a single iPad Air for most of his work when, not so long ago, he would have to drag several items around with him in order to do his job properly.
