Ask any seasoned jailbreaker and they will be able to tell you that the Cydia Store is literally jam-packed full of themes and aesthetic customizations which are designed to make an iPhone or iPad look as different as possible from the native iOS look. This isn't because designers believe there is anything wrong with the visuals in iOS per se, but jailbreaking is about the freedom to alter and change the way a stock iOS device looks and behaves, and producing themes is one way to drastically do that.
Now, this is a fairly spontaneous rumor with little proof, so this one must be taken with a grain of salt: Microsoft is reportedly in talks with record labels on creating a new music service that caters to the Xbox and "an upcoming Windows-based phone".
Since being released in a blaze of glory along with iOS 5 back in October of last year, Siri has been a mainstay in the tech headlines. Unfortunately for the majority, Apple’s system-wide voice recognition software was only officially supported on the brand-new iPhone 4S – leaving some iPad, iPod touch and owners of older iPhones feeling a little underhanded.
VLC is, without a shadow of doubt, one of the most popular media players available. Combining a sleek, simplistic interface with the ability to play seemingly any audio or video file, its underbelly of rich features have seen the application become an essential utility to the masses.
Another day, and yet another Siri-based tweak emerges from the Cydia Store. Today's, which takes into account the equally-new Notification Center, allows you to launch the voice-activated technology with a simple downward swipe of the status bar.

When the iPhone 4 went on sale in June 2010, it appeared to be yet another flawless piece of engineering from the Apple design teams. The previous three releases had all featured a similar design to one another with the iPhone 3G and 3GS being practically identical. The iPhone 4 made a break away from the tried and tested iPhone form and featured an entirely new and beautiful design which comprised of two panels of hardened aluminosilicate glass and an uninsulated stainless steel frame.
A new app from an independent Android developer may just have the answer to a problem that we've all experienced since games began to become truly mobile. With gamers now being able to take part in their favorite pass-time across multiple devices - smartphones and tablets spring to mind initially - the issue of keeping our saved games in sync is a very real one.
Following Apple's announcement of its upcoming Mountain Lion OS yesterday, people naturally began producing comparisons between the two OSes, whether in the form of a jestful "Windows 8 vs. ML" tweet, or a clarifying blog post that reminds you - since you didn't know - that desktop OSes are beginning to draw a great deal of inspiration from their mobile counterparts. But really, that's about the only true similarity between Mountain Lion and Windows 8. Beyond this, Apple and Microsoft's approaches are so vastly different that the colossal void that lies between the opposing directions they have taken is large enough to accommodate all of those comparison posts from yesterday.

The official iOS App Store has been open for business since July 2008, and in that time, it has passed a number of significant milestones including breaching the 100,000 available applications mark as well as dishing out billions of dollars to developers in the last four years. The popularity of the App Store has considered to grow as it gets older, with thousands of registered developers around the world submitting more and more free and commercial applications on a daily basis.
