We all knew that JailbreakCon was going to feature some of the greatest developers and designers in the jailbreaking scene, but we didn't know that it would feature some exclusive package releases so early on in the day. UI and UX designer Joshua Tucker has taken the opportunity to announce the release of his Emblem tweak that has been created in collaboration with iOS developer Kyle Howells.

We all know those people who, ignorant to the dangers of sharing confidential information online, will happily post their cellphone number for the entire world to see on some of the web's most frequented sites.

Digital music is a wondrous thing, and anybody who had to contend with a cassette tape player of any description will agree that nowadays, things are a lot easier.

Last week, we notified you of the Steve Jobs waxwork set to be arriving at the Hong Kong Branch of Madame Tussauds, and today, we've got a video of the fully finished statue. Uncannily similar to Jobs in many of his public appearances, it includes those trademark New Balance trainers, Levi Strauss 501 Jeans, and the turtle-neck jumper he was always dressed in.
Android apps, as we know, tend to arrive after the iOS iteration, and with Rayman: Jungle Run having recently released for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, it was only a matter of time before Ubisoft's classic title made its way to Google's Play Store. That day has finally arrived, and for three dollars, you too can now enjoy a charming remake of the PlayStation and Atari favorite.
The HTC One X+ is, all things considered, fairly sought-after for those seeking a powerful, non-Samsung new Android smartphone, and although we’ve seen tidbits of information with regards to the upcoming device, O2 UK has leaked the juicy details through one of its sales magazines.
Although it may have, regrettably, lost its place among Apple's native iOS apps, Google has been working tirelessly in updating and improving its Maps service, which is one of the strongest and most polished services available.
