Touted as the Big G's answer to Facebook, the early buzz surrounding the fast rise of Google+ died out almost as quickly as it arrived. That said, it is still in beta stage, and the best of Google's latest effort to social networking is still to come.
It's rather unfortunate that Apple exercises as much control and as many restrictions as humanly possible throughout iOS, and is one of the main reasons why people wind up jailbreaking the device.
Apple has done a pretty good job of snuffing out most of the opportunities to share files between iDevices. iTunes is the center of the known universe from the fruit company's point of view, and allowing drag and drop potentially facilitates copyright theft, so no chance of that changing any time soon.
This Jailbreak Tweak For iPhone, iPad Redirects An App Icon To Launch The App Of Your Choice [VIDEO]
Over the years, app management has been greatly improved with the addition of folders and other features that make having lots of software installed on a device a breeze to access. Yet, don't you wish there was a way to launch an app by tapping an icon but be redirected to an app of your choice instead? This is where this awesome jailbreak tweak comes in.
If you're a regular reader here at Redmond Pie, you will be fully aware of the many different jailbreak apps and tweaks we feature which take the jailbroken experience that extra mile.
Back in July, Facebook brought video calling to its Facebook Chat service, yet the Facebook client for iOS still hasn't been updated to support this feature. Thankfully, SHAPE Services, maker of the well-known app IM+ has stepped up to the plate with IM+ Video, a new app, the first of its kind, that makes it easy to make video calls with Facebook friends.
There are a lot of apps floating around which make you wonder what we did before we became so digitally dependent? Once upon a time, people had to write things down and look after the paperwork (or at least, hire a secretary to do so). Nowadays, we can store things digitally, forget about them, and have them remind us when they need to be read.
For almost as long as we've used mobile phones, we've been able to send and receive text messages, and later audio and video, through the cell network. Yet, as data packages become increasingly more common for mobile devices, sending those messages over the Internet sounds more conceivable than ever before. Samsung is the new player in this space with its ChatON messaging service.
The native Maps app that comes built into iOS is fairly powerful on its own, but over the last few weeks jailbreak developers have created plug-ins to enhance it: namely Speed for Maps and Compass For Maps, which added an on-screen speedometer and a compass to said app, respectively.
If you're like me, you depend on your iOS device to wake you up on time everyday, thanks to its built-in alarm clock, which is part of the Clock app, which has been built into iOS since the very beginning. Yet, iOS only allows pre-defined tones to be played as the alarm tone; why not play some soothing music instead?
