It was only a few days ago that we brought you the exciting news that iPhone Dev Team and their rock star lead MuscleNerd had been working covertly on a way to allow users to downgrade the baseband on their iPhone 3G and 3GS from 06.15.00 to a prior one with full unlock and GPS support. This may not be something which some of you actually require, but for those unfortunate ones who had to update to the iPad baseband to get an unlock last year, it is certainly a nice welcome, especially with the launch of Apple's new Maps service in iOS 6 that makes extensive use of the device’s GPS capabilities.
Microsoft is set to announce a mystery product during an event today, with speculation currently doing the rounds as to what the Redmond outfit could potentially have up its sleeve.

Despite facing stiff competition recently from the might of Apple's iCloud, Microsoft's SkyDrive, and most recently, Google Drive, Dropbox continues to be the cloud hub of choice for many digital consumers.
When it comes to deciding which social network to use consistently on a daily basis, I have to say that Twitter annihilates Facebook every day of the week for me. Although I initially jumped on the Facebook bandwagon during the early days and still hold an active account to date, it is something I use sparingly, as day to day activities of people I used to know during my school days quite frankly bores me. Twitter on the other hand allows me to connect with people who have the same interests as me from all over the world, allowing knowledge to be shared and consumed, so anything that can provide quick access to the micro-blogging service can only be a good thing.
HTC's One X is widely accepted to be one of the best Android phone around at the moment. With Samsung's Galaxy S III currently getting all the plaudits, the One X is still a handset that should not be forgotten. If you're the owner of HTC's latest flagship phone, then you may have noticed a problem - the handset keeps turning all its data connections off overnight.
Everyone is a big fan of Instagram here at Redmond Pie. We're not happy unless we are posting photos of our cats on the social network that was built to enable sharing of photos. Now that the company has shared an Android version with us after a long wait, then there really is no reason for anyone not to be as enthralled as we are.
We can all empathize with the sinking feeling felt when something important is erroneously deleted from our smartphones, but instead of becoming lost for good, the DiskDigger team has created an Android app to help you recover those precious files you thought had disappeared into the Recycle Bin of no return.
The tech world seems pretty assured as to what the next iPhone will look like, and based on leaked parts, many mock-ups have been created by the talented designers out there. One point said designers have neglected to heed, however, is that the iPhone comes in two colors, and while we've seen numerous realistic shots of how the black "iPhone 5" could look like, we can now reveal how that design might turn out in white, thanks to these simply wonderful renders created by a Gizmodo reader.

After including major missing features in iOS 3, 4 and 5, iOS 6 has turned out to be more of an incremental update than anything else. Other than Maps, there are no downright mind-blowing features. Everything iOS 6-related announced by Forstall at WWDC 2012, we’ve seen in one form or another whether as a Cydia tweak or a minor feature on other platforms.
