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.
One of the primary colossal improvements made to the recently-launched iPad 3 is the Retina display, a vibrant, extremely high-resolution display which makes pixels as hard to spot as Waldo. However, Apple did not address an issue which has impacted the device since day one: You cannot use the iPad in the portrait orientation while wearing polarized sunglasses. Bad news for all of you who planned to do some reading in the sun by the waves this summer (avoiding glare issues by wearing your polarized sunglasses, of course).
When Apple announced iOS 5.1 to the public last month, some hoped Siri for iPad would be somewhere on the list. Unfortunately, the fruit company only implemented Voice Dictation, which, although better than nothing, left the Siri hunters to continue using the alternatives available.
The developers over at F.lux Software LLC have created something for the Cydia store that steps away from the standard tweaks that we have come to expect.

Apple and it's new iPad have been in for a bit of a kicking since the launch of the device last month. While most owners of the latest and greatest tablet seem happy, with no faults to report, message boards and technology blogs have been full of issues.
At one point in time not so long ago, Dropbox was the definitive chosen method for users who required some kind of cloud-based storage for their documents, files or any sort of information. The Dropbox service gives away 2GB of free of charge cloud storage with the option to increase that said storage if required through the purchase of premium accounts, but it also has powerful native Mac, iOS and Android apps which make things a lot easier for users of the service.
The official Madonna app for iPad is now available for download, giving fans of the songstress unlimited, 24/7 access to everything they could ever want.
