A few decades back, likely even before some of our site’s readers were born, Walkie-Talkies conquered the world, both as war devices and later children’s toys.

Many of our readers would consider themselves technology enthusiasts, and as a result have considered purchasing, or have already purchased an iPhone 5, or have at least upgraded their existing handsets to iOS 6. Months after its release, many are rightly becoming impatient with the release of an untethered jailbreak for both iOS 6 or the iPhone 5.

A new tweet suggests that he is making some progress again, this time with famous iOS security researcher Pod2g.

One of the most distinguishing features of Android, among it being open source and much rapidly developing as compared to its major competitor, iOS, is the ability to use widgets.

The productivity of jailbreak developers may have suffered a bit in recent times due to the length of time taken and the complexities involved in producing an untethered jailbreak, but that doesn't mean that Cydia isn’t full of fantastic tweaks and packages.

Back in the late 90s, Nokia was the first mainstream phone company to allow customers to snap out their default phone cases and snap their own cases on, creating a custom look: this was back with the Nokia 5110. Adapting to passing times (in quite a huge way, we must say), Nokia is now allowing customers (at least those with 3D printers lying around, or able to afford a one-off print-off) to print their own cases for the Lumia 820.
A new tweak for the Samsung Galaxy S III has just been released which allows the clock on the system’s status bar to be customized. While not necessarily significant for everybody, this tweak will be welcome by users who have found it difficult to check the time at a glance from the status bar, or maybe for visually impaired users who could use with a slighter larger font on their Android clocks. Or maybe you’re just tired of the old Android look and are looking to try something new.
