The stock Weather app has been a staple part of iOS from the beginning, and since iOS 5, we have seen the company introduce a GPS based weather widget that lives within Notification Center and provides constantly updated weather information based on the location of the device at any given time.

With powerful features that are almost bordering on professional lines, iMashup should provide entertainment for any sort of music lover.
I am a bit of a fiend when it comes to apps and games for my mobile devices, and over the years, I've learned to become rather shrewd in what I buy, and when I buy it.

You don't need to be heavily involved in the music business to have heard of the Black Eyed Peas or indeed will.i.am who is generally considered to be the front man for the group and the main inspiration behind their success in recent years. It also doesn't take a lot of brain processing power to understand that will.i.am isn't exactly one hundred percent committed to his music career and likes to grab any possible opportunity to dabble with new and emerging technologies. It's that technology driven passion that has prompted William James Adams to launch his own branded 'i.am+' accessories to accompany mobile smartphones in the hope of making the experience better for consumers.

We have seen instances in the past of resourceful developers throwing together various pieces of work and technologies to create clever ways of controlling lighting levels at home or office as well as creating make-shift home automation systems that may not have the same power as a premium system, but still gets the job done. The SiriProxy-Hue project is yet another example of how community driven projects can interact with Apple's own software and hardware to create a usable system for the average user.
The iPhone 5 and fifth-generation iPod touches have been with us for quite some time now and although they have proved to be extremely successful, consumers are still noticing that some of their favorite apps have yet to be updated with full user-interface support for the larger display that Apple bundled with the devices.
