With the Chronic Dev Team, in conjunction with other members of The Jailbreak Dream Team, pushing out Absinthe 2.0 at the Hack In The Box Security Conference last week, there is undoubtedly going to be a lot more jailbroken iPads kicking around. Those owners of Apple tablets who couldn't jailbreak due to firmware restrictions have now been set free and are able to roam through the wilderness that is the Cydia store. Cydia already contains a large number of tweaks designed for the iPad, but the TenIconSwitcher for iPad adds to that list.
It doesn't seem to matter how experienced a user you may be with iTunes, there is always some part of it that just doesn't make sense. I have personally been a regular user of iTunes for the last five years and in all honesty, it still manages to perplex me with alarming regularity. One of the issues which users have relates to the need to sync data across to their iDevices, such as photographs, albums and videos.
There are a few mobile developers we could categorize as "power releasers" - the app houses which seem to have a new app on an almost weekly basis. Chillingo is certainly one of them, and not only does it indefinitely have a new app on the go, but most of them are of good quality and well worth the purchase.
Cut The Rope is your archetypal addictive mobile title. Basic physics + tricky challenges seems to invariably equate to a large-scale casual gaming frenzy, and of all the titles popularized by iOS and Android, Cut The Rope is most certainly up there.
As well as being a great opportunity for Apple developers to learn of the latest and greatest advancements within both iOS and OS X, WWDC has been the springboard for many a significant announcement over the years. With the event to kick off in just two weeks' time, there's plenty to be excited about, including details of Mountain Lion and of course, iOS 6, which is set to finally be unveiled to the world at some point during the course of WWDC'12.
The good news just keeps on coming for those jailbroken Apple device owners who are running iOS 5.1.1. After an initial period of waiting, the party began last Friday with the release of Absinthe 2.0 by the Chronic Dev Team which provided an untether on iOS 5.1.1 for a wide array of iOS devices. That tool has since been updated to provide additional support for the latest GSM iPhone 4 firmware build.
Grand Theft Auto is a classic title, and when Rockstar Games released a 10th Anniversary Edition of GTA III for iOS (and subsequently Android), mobile games far and wide felt the nostalgia crawling back. The title, which has taken a great amount of flak over the years for its often unnecessary degrees of violence, has enjoyed a warm welcome into the mobile arena, and the port, which is almost identical to the PC version from over a decade ago, plays rather nicely with the touch controls.
Originally announced back in October of 2011 and released in December of the same year, Infinity Blade II has set a benchmark in iOS gaming, thanks to its breathtaking graphics and solid storyline. To take the fun even further, Epic Games have pushed out an update for said title dubbed as “Vault of Tears”.
Beginning with mere text chat back in the days of IRC, communicating online via voice and video has now become commonplace, and thanks to the likes of Skype and FaceTime, it's never been so easy to have a face-to-face conversation with friends and relatives across the world from many different devices.
Gameloft is a power releaser of some of the most epic titles for mobile devices, and has pulled out another of its trump cards with the release of Men In Black 3 for iOS and Android. Will Smith and Tommy-Lee Jones are back to their old tricks after a long hiatus, defending the world from alien invasion, and this accompanying title looks to be an absolute must for any fans of the black-suited duo.
