One of the things we often take for granted from our mobile devices is the ability to quickly transfer files between any Bluetooth-capable devices. iOS doesn't really play ball, though, leaving iPhone users to look for other means to share audio, video, and image files.
Although rumors and tip-offs about new devices don't necessarily tell us much, a sure-sign that we are about to see a new product - particularly in the case of Apple - is when supplies of said device's would-be predecessor become somewhat scarce.
If you are a long term, regular user of the Cydia store then you might be familiar with the MultiIconMover tweak which was created and submitted by Lance Fetters quite some time ago. One of the most annoying thing about a stock installation of iOS in my opinion, is the fact that when in editing mode. you can only select and move one icon at a time. I am sure Apple has some deep underlying reason why it is so, and always has been the case, but the bottom line is; from a user experience point of view it just seems pointless.
While a lot of people chose to sit and read the Steve Jobs biography written by Walter Isaacson, a large selection of fans would prefer to sit and flick through the recently released, 191-page document on Steve Jobs which was compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI set about initiating a level-three background check on Mr. Jobs when it became known that he was being considered for an appointment to The White House Council in the early 1990's.
Ever since Siri was introduced on the iPhone 4S along with iOS 5 back in October, coders and developers have been looking to manipulate it in a variety of ways - with some interesting results.
The public release of iOS 5 in October 2011 brought a number of new and exciting features for the average consumer as well as iOS developers. A number of these new features are well documented and are heavily featured whenever iOS 5 or the iPhone 4S are mentioned and include things like the Siri, iCloud integration and the new Notification Center. iCloud is more often that not, referred to as a feature in its own right, which is generally not a problem, but it is worth noting that iCloud is effectively a wrapper for a number of new additions to the iOS platform.
Apple has evolved a lot since its inception by Jobs and Wozniak, two college buddies with a strong work ethic surpassed only by ambition. Whilst Macs - in their various forms - now run at lightning-speed whilst encased in sleek compilations of various materials, this wasn't always the case.
If you're the kind of person that thrives on Apple product rumors then over the coming weeks you're going to be in for one hell of a treat. If you're the kind of person who's blood begins to boil at the very mention of parts suppliers and Japanese blogs, then you should probably look away right about, now.
It seems that releases from iOS developers Tapbots are like London buses in the sense that you hear nothing for quite some time, then all of a sudden three come along at once. Well, in this instance it is only two but I'm sure you get the picture. Tapbots’ popular Twitter application, Tweetbot for iPhone and iPod touch has been given the version 2.0 makeover with the latest version hitting the App Store today featuring a number of upgrades and enhancements.
