He may be gone but thanks to the legacy he left behind, certain indie film and Hollywood movie production studios will never lets us forget the iconic Apple founder, Steve Jobs. We will all continue to enjoy the amazing products and services which Jobs managed to unleash to the world during his final years with Apple, but if Ashton Kutcher has anything to do with it, we could be remembering the former Apple CEO for different reasons.
Apple has invested a lot of time and money into their mobile devices and the advanced iOS software that powers them. Hardware such as the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad are some of the most powerful examples of mobile consumer tech on the market today, with Apple's mobile operating system being the perfect companion, thanks to its advanced features and elegant aesthetics.
Remember a few days back when Samsung won a patent claim over Apple regarding 3G technology? Well now, it has emerged the fruit company has also violated one of Google's (or specifically, Motorola Mobility's) registered innovations, and finance analyst ZeroHedge (via 9to5Mac) believes the Big G is looking to block shipments of the fruit company's iPhone and iPad devices as a result.
The second beta version of iOS 6 - currently only available to registered developers - has just landed, and thanks to Dev Team’s Redsn0w, it can be jailbroken already on A4 devices like the iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G, iPhone 3GS. Of course, the jailbreak is tethered, which means you will need to connect your device to a computer with Redsn0w installed each time your device is turned off or rebooted, but you knew that already.
Although Apple announced iOS 6 only two weeks ago at WWDC, the first beta release to developers gave a firsthand insight as to how the upcoming firmware will look and behave. Now, the Cupertino company has seeded the second beta, with minor bug fixes and enhancements.
When Apple CEO Tim Cook stepped onto the stage at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, we already had a pretty good idea of what he and his merry men were planning on announcing. The run up to WWDC was filled with the usual speculation and Internet chit chat, with the world wide web correctly predicting that OS X Mountain Lion and iOS 6 would feature heavily on the agenda.
We are all hoping that everyone at Apple headquarters will wake up in an extremely good mood one day and decide that it will be a perfect time to arrange a spur of the moment media event, announcing the immediate release of the new iPhone. However, we all know that the likelihood is we won't see a hardware release until October of this year, but that doesn't stop us from speculating and discussing what Apple's next-generation iPhone will bring.
You only need to have a quick look through the photography and video section of the official App Store to realize just how popular these types of applications are for the iPhone and iPod touch. The fantastic quality of the Retina display and the powerful abilities of the embedded camera units on Apple's latest generation iOS devices literally cry out for a functional application that takes advantage of that hardware.
There's no doubting the massive increase in Apple since the introduction of the iPhone back in 2007, but even if you've been an avid follower since the early days, a relatively new App Store app aims to test even the most knowledgeable Cupertino enthusiast.
I’m a big fan of music discovery services but, unfortunately, the most popular ones like Pandora, Spotify, last.FM don’t work outside a handful of supported countries where streaming music from big music labels is allowed. Outside these countries, you have services like GrooveShark which, really, is the poor man’s Spotify. There is, however, one not-so-famous service that not only works outside the USA and Europe but also offers excellent music discovery features for free.
