After years of being rather cagey in adopting new technologies, Apple really seems to be making much more of an effort to drag its products up to speed, offering consumers a better inventory of hardware for their day-to-day digital errands.
WinterBoard is the most favored companion of anybody wanting to modify colors, shapes, or themes of their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It has just been updated, offering a series of bug fixes for every compatible version of iOS.
While many of us have owned (or at least, had the option to purchase) our new iPads for a month now, a handful of countries have yet to see an official release of the Apple's Retina-shining, LTE-compliant third tablet installment.
We take a lot of iOS screenshots here at Redmond Pie. Whether we are reviewing an app or we just want a unique image to accompany a post, we are constantly taking screenshots.
If you're increasingly bored with the engine noise of your car (smart car owners, I'm looking at you), a new app has been released that hopes to partially solve this problem. Available for both iOS and Android at the low cost of $0.99, XLR8 simulates the audio of various sports cars by utilizing your phone's accelerometer to play engine sounds that kind of matches the way you're driving.

LogMeIn is a remote desktop app of high critical acclaim, and is often regarded as the best RD apps available for mobile devices.

When it was released in 2010, the iPad was labeled as “a large iPod touch” and predicted to be a market failure by many (including a younger, more naïve version of myself).

A new iPhone and iPad app shuns the bight for more megapixels in photos in favor of a 1-bit aesthetic that, we have to say, takes us right back to the early days of graphical computing. 1-Bit Camera takes us back to our childhood, and in the process makes us feel incredibly old!
