Millions of users religiously jailbreak their devices in order to install minor tweaks that change the way specific aspects of the system looks or works, which is why the new LiveWire tweak is sure to be extremely popular with those looking for a free-of-charge animation based download. More details after the jump.
It’s pretty fair to say that the average iOS device user has a significant number of third-party apps installed on their device. Regardless of whether it's an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad; the chances are that the user has browsed through the App Store, found the apps that interest them and gone through the installation process multiple times. Not only does installing different apps mean enhanced functionality on the device, but it also means that sooner or later there will be a large amount of updates for those apps that filter through from the App Store. We should all know from experience that those little App Store badges can become quite annoying if the update isn't installed right away.
Chevrolet has, along with Honda, outlined its intention to integrate Apple's Siri technology into production cars, in a system known as "Eyes Free". Handsfree technology, while useful in helping prevent drivers from becoming distracted whilst behind the wheel, isn't without flaw; and by implementing this new, Siri-based system, major car manufacturers hope to make our roads even safer moving forward. The initial reports of Chevrolet's Siri integration, which first came to our attentions at the end of last November, we got a fairly good insight of how the system would work. Now, following last month's announcement that the 2013 Chevy Sonic and Spark would be among the first to feature Eyes Free, the company has just aired an advertisement showcasing the technology.
Apple has done a pretty comprehensive job of including most of the things that the majority of iOS users would actually need from their daily mobile device usage. Access to the App Store, messaging and email, as well as a feature-rich calendar experience are all staple parts of the iOS ecosystem. Live weather feeds, access to social networks and financial information are all just a screen away, but what if you wanted implement a new and attractive way of telling the time on a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch? Well, you would use the new animated Flip Clock for Notification Center widget of course, which is styled after HTC's iconic flip clock which we've known for years.
Facebook's initial decision to separate the instant messaging functionality from the main, official iOS app was met with a few raised eyebrows. However, since that point way back in August 2011, the Messenger app has been at the crux of the social network's major expansion plans, and with VoIP calling being among the more significant implementations to Facebook Messenger, those residing in the United Kingdom can also join in the fun. The service, which goes straight for the jugular of services like Skype, has hitherto only been available to those in the United States (and, more recently, Canada). The news will certainly delight many British Facebook users, and seeing as the feature is running live, users do not need to download a new version of Facebook Messenger in order to enjoy it.
Although we love Apple and their fantastic phones, personal music players and tablets, we have always said time and time again that one of the great things about being able to jailbreak an iOS device is the feeling of liberation that is achieved when we step outside of the Cupertino walled garden. A lot of jailbreakers simply like to install that one simple tweak that might introduce a new feature they really need, whereas others like to go the full hog and totally reinvent the interface and customize almost every aspect of the system. For those that like to customize and draw inspiration from Google's Android, then the JellyBean iWidget is definitely a good option for weather forecast lovers.
In my general experience, the iPhone lineup of smartphones has much better battery life as compared to most Android phones out there as of today. Partially, it’s due to how you use your device, but it’s also the fact that iOS’ battery utilization and resource management is far superior to what Google’s smartphone operating system has on offer. I know I would’ve irked a lot of Android fans here, but hey, I already said that’s my personal assessment. However, as of late, iOS has been struggling with batter woes really severely, and the rapid releases of iOS 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 are testament to that fact. Fast battery drains are frequent, and while the Cupertino company is really making all the efforts to fix these, they’re having a hard time.
Facebook is already the biggest social network on the planet, but that doesn't mean it has everything its own way. For every user that actively updates their feeds with new content for their friends to read, there must be many, many more that simply visit Facebook in order to keep up with what their old school pals are doing.
Many of us, when out and about, use more than one digital device at a time, and whether we're necessarily aware of it or not, there's an invisible pecking order. The smartphone is usually the most important, and the tablet, invariably, the least crucial to the running of our digital errands. It stands to reason, then, that the smartphone would run out of battery a lot quicker than the tablet, and one IndieGoGo group has created a product which allows you to transfer battery to your priority iOS device(s) from another, less important device. If your iPad is sitting in your bag, fully charged, and yourself (and perhaps your friend) are running out of iPhone battery, the ChargeBite ensures that dormant battery doesn't go to waste. Sounds awesome? Read on for more details.
Moment Camera For iPhone Is A Charming Alternative Snapper With A Beautiful And Clean User Interface
With so many alternative offerings to the stock iOS Camera app available throughout the App Store, it's becoming increasingly difficult for developers to bring something new and unique to the table. Today, I stumbled across Moment Camera, and although its feature set isn't as expansive as a lot of point-and-shoot utilities, it has a beautiful, clean, and minimalistic UI which renders it well worth checking out.
