Those who like to follow Apple's keynotes - and let's be fair, we all do - may well remember the company showing off iOS 5 earlier this year, and mentioning a new panorama mode that would be coming to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with the impending update. We sure do.
Apple has always been pretty proud of the way its iPhone handles security, and for good reason. While Android users have had countless apps stealing data, mugging old ladies and generally being bad news, Apple's App Store review process has kept the baddies out of iOS.
With the iPhone 4S selling in droves across the world, it was almost inevitable that Hong-Kong would follow suit, and pre-order figures did not disappoint.
Yes, you read it right! Legendary iPhone hacker chpwn has, with a little help from stroughtonsmith, managed to successfully port Apple's new system-wide voice recognition feature through to the equally legendary old-timer that is the iPhone 3GS.
After seven betas, one GM and another performance improving update (which itself has two betas), iOS 5 hasn’t received an untethered jailbreak yet. Folks who wish to enhance their experience with apps and tweaks from Cydia have to make do with a tethered jailbreak, but it appears that the jailbreaking community is getting closer and closer to an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 as one hacker has sent out an update regarding its progress.
Apple's iPhone is already the most popular camera out there, thanks to the fact that not only is it actually a pretty decent shooter from the iPhone 4 onwards, but it tends to be the camera you always have with you. That makes it both convenient and useful.
Folders for iOS were introduced back in 2010 with iOS 4 but, for people who like to install dozens of apps, the feature is quite limited in functionality: You are only allowed to place 12 apps inside each folder and you can’t place a folder within a folder. To get enhanced folders, you have no choice but to jailbreak your iOS device and install folder-enhancing tweaks.
Apple has been on an aggressive suing spree lately: they’ve sued companies like HTC and Samsung and have seen great success with the latter as sales of products like Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab 10.1 have been banned in some countries in Europe.
Sn0wbreeze 2.8b10 has just been released to jailbreak iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1 (Beta 1 and Beta 2) on Windows. While the current version of Redsn0w, version 0.9.9b8 for Windows and Mac, can already jailbreak the above mentioned iOS updates, the added advantage of Sn0wbreeze is that it fixes iBooks crashing issue on devices running jailbroken iOS 5.0.x.
If there is one thing we like at Redmond Pie, it's iOS gaming. We're not sure if it's the feel of that oleo-phobic screen in our sweaty hands, or the fact that iOS games fit just nicely with out goldfish-like attention spans, but we do love us an iPhone game. Or iPad, for that matter.
