In the time that has followed since the launch of the Pangu8 untether, we've not only seen a number of updates to the actual jailbreak itself, but also a number of popular packages being refreshed with iOS 8 compatibility, the latest of which is Intelliborn's premium MyWi extension coming in the form of a new iOS 8 based library.

Apple likes to build things that just work, requiring as little intervention as possible on the part of the user, and AirDrop, the company's local file-transfer service, typifies this notion. Google, Apple's main rival in the mobile industry, is apparently working on a similar feature of its own, with a number of blogs having been tipped off that a service named "Copresence" is currently in the works.
Smartwatches, while not ubiquitous among consumers just yet, are certainly growing in popularity, and as the likes of the Pebble and LG G Watch appear every bit the geek accessory, some vendors have sought to offer more traditional features.
