Sure, after years in existence, the jailbreak scene has grown and expanded to the point where Cydia harbors thousands of useful, enhancing tweaks for iOS-lovers far and wide. But only an elite few have grown to become part of the furniture as fair as jailbreakers are concerned, and along with the likes of BiteSMS and the now somewhat unneeded SBSettings (thanks, Control Center), Springtomize has grown to become the ultimate all-in-one hub for those looking to mod and theme the look and feel of iOS. Now, the guy behind it, Filippo Bigarella, has revealed that an iOS 7-tailored Springtomize 3 is on the horizon, and if it can continue in the same vein as the two versions preceding, jailbreak lovers are in for quite a treat.
When iOS 7 was jailbroken one of the first things everyone got excited about was the prospect of being able to re-skin their iPhones and iPads. With the new look that iOS 7 brought with it, the need to customize it became a big deal for some, and the theme they all wanted was Ayecon.
It may have been somewhat forgotten in the big iOS 7 furore, but that doesn't mean that 'iOS in the car' isn't a real thing. In fact, Apple has had given the thing a place on its own website so it was always going to put in an appearance at some point. Some motoring companies like Acura, Honda and BMW have even said that they will be taking advantage of the feature, but things have been rather quiet of late, with little coming out of either Apple or its partners.
By now I'm sure you all know the drill; Apple releases a new beta version of its iPhone and iPad operating system and I download it, use it for a few hours and then report back with what's changed, both good and bad. I've been doing this for a while now, and through the process of writing about changes in betas both big and small I've come across some great improvements as well as some alterations that, looking back, probably weren't the best idea Apple's iOS team ever had.
VLC is a household name as far as most desktop and Android users are concerned, but while the famed app did once grace a fledgling iOS App Store in its early days, it was pulled without much warning and resigned to being jailbreak-only. Thankfully, the iconic media player returned to its rightful home recently in the form of VLC v2 for iOS, and having been rejuvenated by a bunch of great improvements, the VideoLAN team is back with more enhancing features for those on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
It's true that not everyone is a big fan of what Apple has done with iOS 7. In fact, it's probably more accurate to say that there's something of an anti-iOS 7 movement on the internet, and while Apple has rolled back some of its more outlandish changes, it's never going to take all of its alterations back.

When Apple announced the iPhone 5s last September, one of the features that it made quite a fuss about was the new phone's ability to record slow motion video.
The number of larger iPad, or so-called 'iPad Pro' reports have been aplenty over the past six or so months, and a new piece over at DigiTimes, which claims that Apple is aiming to drop the 12.9-inch slab by the third quarter of this year, only serves to fuel this burning fire. Once upon a time, the blogosphere would have laughed at any notion of Apple delivering a slate so much larger than the full-sized iPad Air, but the iPad mini has shown that under Tim Cook, anything is apparently possible, and the iPad Pro will serve as the higher-end option for consumers seeking the ultimate performance.
Choosing whether or not to go with iOS or Android doesn't always come down to the available hardware - although that definitely helps - with the decision often resting on the available apps and software that exist for each platform. Google has already proven itself to be more than willing to bring their offerings to the iOS platform, with that willingness to adopt iOS being shown once again with the immediate availability of the Google Play Movies & TV app for iPhone and iPad.
Of all of iOS features, multitasking has perhaps come along in the greatest strides since its introduction with iOS 4, and while the latest iOS 7 has been noteworthy for its aesthetic tweaks and genocide against skeuomorphism, it has to be said that the multitasking feature is looking a great deal more complete than it ever has before. The card interface provides novel previews of the app in its current state, making it easier to spot which ones still require your attention, but while you may have thought the new multitasking was slick and snappy, there's actually a way to speed things up further.
