The iOS keyboard has hardly changed since the earlier days of iPhone OS, and as such, the jailbreak community have consistently looked for ways to freshen things up for those who like to chop and change. Some alternative keyboards are a tad over-the-top, while others are just plain garbage, but when a designer manages to combine subtlety, elegance and minimalism in one fell swoop, we simply have to pay it a little bit of attention.
Mozilla's Firefox OS looks, on the face of it, to be a clean, smooth, simple experience, and although no vendors have actually signed up as of yet to ship the touch-based operating system on their mobile devices, two developer handsets were available to purchase from Geeksphone, and were sold out within hours of availability. Starting at just $119, the devices that were on offer present an enticing prospect to anybody interested in the company's open-source mobile ecosystem, and although the Firefox OS is looking to do battle in an ever-crowded market, the legions of Firefox fanatics behind the project give it a very strong chance of forging a substantial user base.
For people interested in the financial sector, April signifies an important time of the year, because companies report quarterly or annual financial results around this time. If you’ve been a regular reader of Redmond Pie, you know that we as a tech blog hold a certain interest in the performance of Cupertino giant, Apple Inc., and today, when the company reported its second quarter results for fiscal year 2013, we couldn’t help taking a look. Let’s share with you how Apple Inc. performed in this area this time around.
It's not secret that trying to be like Iron Man would not only lead to the end of all meaningful relationships for the rest of your life, and a perchant for nearly getting killed, but unsurprisingly it also means that you'd need to have a cool $10 billion in the bank to get the whole show on the road.
As my colleague recently pointed out, decent battery retention in a mobile device is perhaps at more of a premium than ever before. We love all the new and exciting features arriving with each and every updated revision, but keeping the thing running for more than a few hours at a time can be something of an uphill battle. The Infinity Cell kinetic charger is an iPhone battery pack with a twist, as it uses your body’s natural movements to generate the power, meaning you don't need to be repeatedly hooking your handset to the mains in order to keep it juiced up.
If you’ve been involved in the jailbreak scene for any period of time and happen to be a fan of old school video gaming, then you might’ve heard of gpSPhone Game Boy Emulator for iPhone. The package is something that has been worked on extensively over the last few years, with the hard work being put into the project by ZodTTD and his team continuing to amaze us. The gpSPhone freight train doesn't show any signs of slowing down at the moment, with the app recently being updated to v8.0.1, and is now available to download and try directly from the ZodTTD custom repository.
One of the latest tweaks to land on the ModMyi repo is the FBPrivacy package, which, as the name suggests, is one developer's attempt to bring additional privacy measures to those jailbroken users who regularly make use of the Facebook or Facebook Messenger apps. The tweak won’t bring the stealth-like experience to Facebook that a lot of users genuinely want, but it does bring some nice little touches to the official apps that may just serve to improve things a little.
The HTC One has been one of the most expected devices among the tech community, with many looking forward to giving it a try. While HTC’s supply chain seemed chaotic last week, with the company warning prospective users that it might not be able to ship the device out on time, the company’s issues were clearly resolved as HTC officially announced that both the 32GB HTC One and the 64GB developer edition would be available in U.S. for order today and ship overnight.

There's much made about the so called 1%. Vilified by the press and the vast majority of the United States, the 1% represent the 'haves', with everyone else firmly in the 'have not' column.
