When it comes to chopping up fruit, a simple kitchen knife will usually do the trick, and although some fruits have particularly tough skin, the Samurai sword is seldom necessary. Luckily, nobody told that to Halfbrick Studios, who, two years ago, created the immensely-addictive iOS marvel that is Fruit Ninja.
GoogleDaSH is one of the latest tweaks that is entirely dedicated to working in conjunction with the extremely popular Dashboard X tweak by cjori. As you may know by now, Dashboard X was released some weeks back as a package that allows jailbroken users to place widgets directly onto the home screen for even quicker access than ever before. At the time of launch, Notification Center based widgets were compatible but in the following weeks we have seen a number of dedicated tweaks starting to surface.
One of the main reasons that a lot of people jailbreak their iOS devices and love the software available is because of the customization options they bring to the table. A native iOS device such as the iPhone, iPod touch or an iPad is a very competent and powerful piece of kit, but the ability to make it unique is always something that will appeal.
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.
Although iOS is a stunning and powerful mobile operating system, but there are undoubtedly parts of said OS that leave users scratching their heads as to why Apple felt the need to make it that way. In some circumstances, a lot of standard users who may have an iPhone purely as a communications tool will be able to look past these limitations, but for the so-called power users who make use of every aspect of the OS, it can seem a little restrictive.
The rise of Instagram has seen a boom in accompanying image-editing apps, and because there are so many around, developers are having to work harder and harder to offer something quirky and unique in order to entice the increasingly-fickle mobile community.
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.
PaperLock is a tweak which is set to land in Cydia very soon that brings a variety of different transitions to a jailbroken device’s lock screen. The package itself comes from well known iOS developer Chris Simpson, also known as Apocolipse throughout the online world, with users probably being more familiar with his RecognizeMe package. When it comes to the PaperLock tweak, I think it is worthwhile that we should immediately differentiate it from the Unfold and Unlockize tweak, which alter the transition that is applied when unlocking the device but all offer different and unique implementations.
I remember in the not-too-distant past when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs mentioned in one of his keynote speeches that the most popular camera used to take and upload pictures to the Flickr network was the one embedded within the iPhone 4. That may or may not still be the case, but the statistic alone shows that a highly capable camera is undoubtedly one of the most popular functions of the iPhone.
