If you're a regular reader of this site, then you're probably aware of iOS 5, the next major release of the operating system that runs on iPhones, iPads and iPod touches. While the system's main features have been outlined by Apple two months ago, and the brilliant piece of software is believed to be very close to a public release, some still expect new features to be introduced at the last minute, perhaps exclusive to the long-awaited iPhone 5.

If you're an avid Facebook developer, or just someone hoping to make more online friends, you might be pleased to learn that Facebook is holding its traditional developer event, known as "f8", on September 22nd in San Francisco.

Over the last few weeks, it has become clear that Apple has already begun working on a new iPad, presumably to succeed the 6-month-old iPad 2. According to a report, the company's suppliers will begin assembling it in small quantities, presumably for testing purposes: all of them, except Samsung.
If you're a fan of classic games, then this announcement is definitely meant for you; SEGA has just announced that its longtime favorite title, Sonic CD, will be making its way to all major consoles and smartphone platforms, ranging from the PlayStation 3 to the Xbox 360 to Windows Phone 7, Android and iOS.
Considering it was created in the image of an iPod, you would have thought that the iPhone series would have the iPod feature down to a tee. That hasn't turned out to be the case, with many users unimpressed with the music functions on a device which were derived from the world's most iconic portable music player.
Big, big news, folks! A court up in the Netherlands has ruled that Samsung Mobile’s Galaxy S and Galaxy S II smartphone infringe upon at least three of Apple’s patents; sales and marketing of the Galaxy S II phone have been ordered to be shut down in over 30 European countries!
Despite learning over the last few weeks that Apple would be delaying the release of the iPad 3 until early next year, it looks as if Jobs and Co. are in the process of securing a decent supply chain for the display, with 3 shortlisted candidates.
If you're a regular reader of this site, or just a registered Apple developer, you're likely aware that iOS 5 Beta 6 was released on last Friday, as the system edges closer to its final form. If you have jailbroken iOS 5 Beta 6 using Redsn0w 0.9.8b5 (the old version), as we have mentioned before, you should have noticed some stability issues. Thankfully, all of these issues have been fixed in a new version of Redsn0w which was just released.
iOS comes with several customizable system settings, yet they often require users to navigate through several menus in order to access them. In order to access several commonly used settings, the jailbreak community has created tweaks like the recently-released BBSettings, which adds handy system options/toggles to iOS 5’s Notification Center, but what if you just want to have some toggles added to your lockscreen?
Most iOS users wouldn't like to trade the user experience of their system with the one found in Android, yet it's often nice to experiment with new user interface paradigms. Android Delete is a new jailbreak tweak that allows iOS apps to be deleted from the Home Screen just like they can on Android launcher.
