An outstandingly ambitious project has been announced today over on Kickstarter which aims to emulate iOS on Windows, Linux and Android.
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.
Whilst we anticipate Apple to announce the new iPhone line-up sometime in September, it is firmly believed that the launch of the product will be sometime in early October, with not one, but two new iPhones.
Comex Answers Your Questions About His Future Involvement In Jailbreak Community After Joining Apple
Just a few days ago, the jailbreaking community was taken by surprise when one of its most prominent figure, Comex, joined Apple as an intern. Many have wondered whether he'll continue developing jailbreaking tools in the future and whether his current ones would be kept.
Reports regarding the iPhone 5 design and release date keep on coming! A report published today suggests, as we’ve been hearing before, that the iPhone 5 will have a slightly larger screen than the iPhone 4: a 3.7” edge-to-edge display which will be achieved by slimming down the panel’s bezel.

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.

SkyDrive, which is part of Microsoft's Windows Live suite, is a service that allows users to store files online and share them with themselves or others. This can only be done officially through a web interface, yet there's speculation that Microsoft might soon release a SkyDrive client for desktop and mobile platforms.
While I’m a bigger fan of Android than I am of iOS, I’ve found that iOS’ jailbreak community is a whole lot stronger as there is always a useful new tweak released every other day. This is, perhaps, partly due to the fact that there are only a handful of devices to work for instead of the endless amount of Android smartphones. Developing for iOS is relatively easier.
It seems a lot of the tweaks currently being developed through the Cydia Store make use of gestures. This works in the favor of everyday users, as in general, such tweaks help make the iDevice more productive to use, whilst adding a touch of sophistication.
