When Apple announced the iPad, I didn’t rush to get the device. Why would I want a larger, over-glorified iPhone? Yet here I am with an iPad 2 lying nearby. The truth is, I didn’t need the device, but playing with the gadget here and there made me want it. When the second model hit the shelves, I picked one up.
There are over one million iPhones using the T-Mobile network. To use the Apple branded device, one would have to complete the jailbreak and unlocking process. Before T-Mobile offered micro-SIM cards, some elbow grease was also required. The T-Mobile SIM card had to be trimmed to fit into the iPhone’s micro-SIM slot.
iOS developer and discoverer of exploits pod2g has updated jailbreaking enthusiasts on the latest status of his untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S. Details after the jump!
Both critically acclaimed and popular amongst fans, Dead Space was one of the sleeper hits that showed new franchises could break into the big time on home consoles like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game was so successful that not only did it receive a sequel on both consoles and a dubious Wii version too, but the iPhone and iPad also got in on the survival horror-cum-action game goodness, too.

Everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit, with less than a week to go before the big day and the inevitable over eating that it always entails.
BiteSMS is one of the most popular, premium tweaks available on the Cydia store and functions as a full replacement for the native messages application that ships with iOS. The popularity of BiteSMS spawns from the fact that it addresses serious functionality flaws that exist in the default messaging application. For those that have been using BiteSMS since the beginning in 2008, the current 6.0 release will seem a million miles away from the bare bones tweak of version 1.12 which featured a character counter as its most notable update.

While the update for Android app with Timeline view was available on the same day as well, update for iOS app wasn’t, this was probably because of strict screening process that it had to go through before final approval for iTunes App Store.
While Android is, perhaps, the most feature-rich mobile operating system in the market today, it does not, at all, offer the best possible user-experience*. There are plenty, plenty of small things, petty things that eventually add up to an inconsistent, not-so-well-thought-out experience.
