Make FaceTime-like Video Calls from iPhone 4 to Android, Symbian, Windows 7, Mac OS X and Vice Versa
Remember when we posted a rumor that FaceTime would soon be coming to OS X and Windows? Our wishes have been answered in a mega way, sort of.
Here is a shiny (pun intended) new application called Glowing App Icons that enables you to make your own radically distinctive and unequaled wallpapers and that too with glowing app icons!
For those of us who are on data-capped / tiered mobile internet plans, keeping track of how much data one is consuming is of great importance and convenience. And for those of us who are on jailbroken iPhones can use Data Counter to track how much data is being used.
Did you know? Apple is worth more than Microsoft! As of writing, Apple is worth a whopping $262.53 billion dollars while Microsoft: $212B. One of the bigger reasons for its increasing stock worth is the iPhone - a smartphone introduced back in 2007 that literally revolutionized the cell phone market. Today, the iPhone is used as a benchmark, as a standard by which the quality of other phones are measured.
Two days back Taimur, resident admin here at Redmond Pie, tweeted that a post comparing iPhone 4 with iPod touch 4G / 3G would be going up soon. Well, if you can read this, it means we’ve fulfilled our promise!
Hah, As if we didn’t know this already! DisplayMate conducted an indepth review/analysis of all major smartphone displays (namely: iPhone 4, 3GS, Galaxy S, Droid, Nexus One) to test which display had the best overall quality. And the results are in.
While there are dozens upon dozens of patents that Apple has been granted, very few reach the quirkiness of the patent that Apple was granted today.

The iPhone Dev-Team has finally shown off a video demo of iOS 4.1 jailbreak on the newly released iPod touch 4G by loading SHAtter exploit in PwnageTool (video after the break). This test version of PwnageTool however is currently for internal testing only. But it will be released later for iPhone 4 users so that they can preserve their old baseband in future for carrier unlock by restoring to the custom firmware file.
An Apple netbook? Say it isn’t so! While netbooks tend to fall in the 8-10” screen-size category, it would be a little foolish not to consider 11-inchers as netbooks. I, personally, believe that any laptop of screen size < 13” and not having a CD-ROM is to be considered as a netbook.
Just like we once proved that iMovie is possible on iPhone 3GS, only yesterday we posted a video which showed that running Game Center was actually possible on the older iPhone 3G. That, and of course, HDR photos on 3G and 3GS (with a somewhat complicated guide here).
