If you are a long term, regular user of the Cydia store then you might be familiar with the MultiIconMover tweak which was created and submitted by Lance Fetters quite some time ago. One of the most annoying thing about a stock installation of iOS in my opinion, is the fact that when in editing mode. you can only select and move one icon at a time. I am sure Apple has some deep underlying reason why it is so, and always has been the case, but the bottom line is; from a user experience point of view it just seems pointless.
Ever since Siri was introduced on the iPhone 4S along with iOS 5 back in October, coders and developers have been looking to manipulate it in a variety of ways - with some interesting results.
The 'Path' iOS application will no doubt go down as one of the most popular applications of 2011 thanks to its mix of having an innovative and beautiful user interface as well as operating as an extremely functional journal-type app. Although the Path app had been around since November 2010, the 2.0 release in final quarter of last year introduced a revamped UI which gained the application quite a lot of media attention and a large amount of new users.
I don't know about you, but I tend to favor mobile applications which do exactly what they say on the tin without attempting to deviate too much from the core functionality. One of the more recent applications which falls into this category has to be YouTube Producer for iOS devices by Musicshake Inc.
Nobody who hasn't been hiding in a cave for the last two years can argue against the quality of the cameras in Apple's last two iPhones. First the iPhone 4 brought impressive photo quality to the iPhone lineup with a 5-megapixel camera, and then the iPhone 4S took things a step further with an 8-megapixel shooter.
First it was iBooks, then came Newsstand, and now Apple has even thrown iTunes U - its attempt at cornering the textbook market - into the mix.
I make no secret of the fact that I am a massive jailbreak enthusiast. I have owned every iPhone since 2007, and both iPads and have eagerly jailbroken each and everyone of them as soon as the relevant tools are released or updated for the new devices and firmwares. I do it not just for the sake of it, but because I genuinely believe a number of tweaks and modifications which exist in Cydia enhance iOS and make it the best mobile operating system available.
With our cherished mobile gadgets now packing in very decent cameras, many have opted to ditch the unnecessary pocket-fill of the traditional standalone camera.
Every so often an application comes along and drops into the App Store which catches our eye for one reason or another. It could be for a number of reasons, sometimes the app is unique and the first of its kind, sometimes it contains a beautiful user interface and sometimes it's just because it is plain cheeky.
Google Maps and iOS devices have gone hand in hand ever since the original iPhone's release back in 2007, and Apple recently signed a new deal extension with the search giant, giving iOS further access to Google's Maps data.
