Apple's iPad was famously called 'magical' by more than a few of Apple's executive team, and after using one for 18 months, it's hard to disagree.
Last week, a new sort of jailbreak for iOS 5 popped up in the form of a Cydia package – named SemiTether – which you could install after performing a tethered jailbreak using Redsn0w/Sn0wbreeze. This package, once installed, would allow users to reboot their tethered-jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with limited functionality without having to connect your device to a computer. SemiTether has received a big update today and it is what we’ll be talking about in this post.
Apple appears to still be in the market to revamp iOS Maps and get away from Google's back-end. With the recent purchase of 3D Mapping company C3 Technologies, they may just do that!
As simple a service as Twitter may be, sending out tweets isn’t. On iOS, you have to launch a Twitter app, tap a button to activate the tweet-input box, face unnecessary information and, finally, tap the Send button.
The iPad 2, which was released earlier this year, is, from what I can tell, one of the slowest iOS devices to get a jailbreak. So far, it has only been jailbroken on iOS 4.3.3 and there has been no news of an iOS 5 jailbreak… until today, that is. An iPhone Dev-Team member has confirmed that the iPad 2 has been jailbroken on iOS 5 and we’ve got the details after the jump!
The recent release of Steve Jobs' life story as told by Walter Isaacsson has revealed quite a few details of Apple's future ventures, including their aspirations to enter the competitive connected TV market - spearheaded by Jeff Robbins - a guy who seems to have more than a little pull within the Cupertino company's ranks.
Keeping your music, movies, TV shows and photo library in sync across multiple devices emerged as one of the biggest first-world problems with the rise in popularity of smartphones and tablets a few years ago. The issue has only recently been resolved to a certain extent thanks to solutions such as Apple’s iCloud and Microsoft’s Windows Live SkyDrive, but managing data - and keeping it in sync - is still not as seamless as we would like it to be. Adobe is attempting to solve the photo library syncing issue to the fullest possible extend with their new Carousel apps for iOS and OS X which, well, keeps your photos in sync. Check it out after the break!
It seems we can't go longer than a couple of weeks without the Apple rumor mill churning up another, well, rumor. We've barely let the dust settle on our freshly ripped open iPhone 4S boxes, but the iPad 3 claims have already started to circular with alarming frequency.
A large portion of retailers allow you to order products on their websites and subsequently collect the items at your convenience from your local store. Not only does it often shorten the waiting time from purchase to usage, but you can usually save a few dollars in the process.
When Apple released its latest and most changed version of iOS two weeks ago, bringing us up to version number 5.0, there was little-to-no doubt that the update would be considerable. If there is one thing that the iOS eco-system has over its Android competition, it's the fact that users tend to update their handsets and tablets to the latest version of iOS.
