There is a new tweak out today on the Cydia store which in my opinion is worth checking out. This small and lightweight tweak comes from developer rvirajm and can be thought of as more of a small phone based utility rather than a large functional installation that will greatly enhance the feature set of the iPhone.
Google has proven in the past that the search giant is not shy about releasing its apps on iOS. The company fought long and hard to get some of its apps onto its perceived competitor's devices, but with Google's business model relying on everyone using the internet as much as possible, it's little wonder that it simply wants to make that as easy, and as enjoyable as possible.
These Specs Offer Google Glass-Like Point Of View Video Recording For A Fraction Of The Cost [VIDEO]
It's hard not to get just a little bit excited about the prospect of Google Glass hitting the market later this year, but considering the cost of Explorer version, which currently costs $1,500, it's going to be a product many consumers will have to admire from afar. If you would like some techie spectacles but don't want to pay large sums of money, you may be interested in the Mitamanma Megane from Japanese company Thanko. Although not in the Google league in terms of overall features, it does come complete with its own hidden camera, allowing you to shoot POV video with ease, and at a cost of just $91, is certainly a lot more affordable to the general consumer.
A new strain of Android malware has been discovered by security firm LookOut that has managed to find its way onto millions of devices. Although it manifests within dodgy looking Russian clone apps and thus, probably hasn't affected your device, the fact that millions have already been infected makes for rather disconcerting reading. More details about the whole fiasco can be found right after the jump.
As if the iPhone wasn't already an expensive enough gadget to behold, one luxury goods company has decided to take things to the next level by customizing the handset with a multitude of gems and diamonds. In doing so, the Liverpool, England-based company Stuart Hughes has increased the value astronomically, creating a very uniquely crafted iPhone worth an eye-watering $15 million.
Facebook's been very busy of late. It launched a Facebook-centric phone with the help of HTC, and it has pushed out all manner of updates for the Android and iOS apps, partly in order to add support for Facebook Home. There's Chat Heads too, along with the less well publicized addition of the new Facebook Stickers.
Whatever your thoughts on Windows Phone 8 might be, it's hard to argue that it doesn't hold a lot of potential. In a world where iOS and Android rule the roost, it's refreshing to see something like Windows Phone, whether it's your choice of mobile operating system or not. The undoubted problem with Windows Phone though, is its lack of quality apps.
A touch-screen phone is cool, but you know what's really cool? Controlling it with your mind! Yup, you heard that right. More details right after the jump.
Instagram is without a doubt something of a runaway success, and it managed that even before the famous buyout by social network, Facebook. A combination of smart filters and a social aspect, Instagram had us all taking arty photos of our food, cats and just about anything else. We love Instagram, and judging by our feeds, you probably do too.
The introduction of Siri along with the iPhone 4S caused a few people to think that voice based commands were going to become the next accepted method of interaction with our mobile devices. Conversely, a number of users simply couldn't see the merit or value in having to ask questions to find out things like the local weather or what the time is in other countries. Regardless of personal opinion, it looks like Siri is definitely with us in the long-run with iOS, which is why it's great to see tweaks like Ask Assistant landing on the Cydia store that make using Siri that little bit easier.
