In an unexpected move, Microsoft has released a mobile version of their successful Kinectimals game on Apple’s very own iPhone and iPad. Kinectimals for Xbox was one of the few games demoed before the official Kinect launch. Aimed primarily for the younger crowd, the game allows you to interact with virtual pets on a mysterious island.
We're big fans of iOS 5 here, except that pesky battery problem of course. One of our favorite changes that Apple made to iOS in its fifth iteration was the addition of the Notification Center - a home for all your push notifications, missed calls and SMS/iMessages to live.
If you place the original iPhone and the recently released iPhone 4S side by side, you may notice some significant differences. The new device porting a virtual assistant has come along way since it’s silverback predecessor.
The second beta of the new iOS 5.1 firmware has just been seeded to the registered developers of the iOS Dev Center.
The reason why many people jailbreak their iPhones, iPads and iPod touches is to add, or sometimes even remove, certain functionality. Some even just want to alter how one particular feature works, tweaking something about it that makes it infinitely more useful than Apple had ever intended.
It was only a few days ago when iOS developer and hacker Pod2g showed off his new untethered jailbreak exploit running on iOS 5. At that time, he tested it on a third-gen iPod touch running iOS 5.0 and wasn’t sure if it would also work on the new iOS 5.0.1 as well. But he did promise to test it on iOS 5.0.1 and report back accordingly with results.
Although there are thousands, even tens of thousands of free apps on Apple’s App Store, how many of them are worth your ever so precious time? With so many to choose from, it becomes hard to see which ones are worth your valuable storage space on your beloved iOS device. When it comes to finding the right free application on the App Store, there is a place to start. Luckily for you, we at Redmond Pie, have found a few for you.
The iPhone 4S is selling like hotcakes worldwide, and new iPhone owners are picking up their first entry into the iOS ecosystem all the time. We get plenty of requests for app recommendations here at Redmond Pie, and with Christmas around the corner I thought I would put together a short list showcasing my favorite, or must-have apps for the iPhone.
The scramble to make Siri-like apps, tweaks and plugins for not just the iOS devices, but anything with a speaker and an internet connection, has seen quite a few possible solutions pop up across both the App Store and the jailbreak store, Cydia. So far, none have really come close to either replicating the functionality of Siri, or offering something different but actually works.
Starting with iOS 5, Apple added some new checks to ensure people stick with the latest version of iOS. This made downgrading to iOS 5 impossible using SHSH blobs saved by Cydia or TinyUmbrella. But now, thanks to iH8sn0w’s iFaith, you can downgrade from iOS 5.1 or iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5 custom firmware as long as you have APTicket + SHSH blobs saved for it.
