Apple CEO, Tim Cook took to the stage and unveiled a brand new version of iBooks for iOS. It’s loaded with tons of new features and options, and we’ve covered them in great detail right after the jump!
Google's NFC payment system has historically been an Android-only affair. In fact, not all Android devices can take advantage of the service thanks to the reliance on that NFC chip, as well as the requirement for smartphone carriers to sign off on the technology before it is implemented. Things may be changing though, with the news that a new version of Google Wallet is in the offing.
Although Cydia is full of packages that bring exceptional additional functionality to Apple's mobile operating system, it also plays home to multiple tweaks that exist simply to change a small portion of the way iOS works. One aspect of the system that developers love to change and tinker with is Apple's slide to unlock feature that allows users to slide their finger across a banner to gain access to the device. The Pinch to Unlock Cydia package is one such jailbreak tweak that amends that method.
If you have ever been sending a text or iMessage from your jailbroken iOS device and wondered how many messages you actually have sent then the SMS Stats tweak may just be what you have been looking for. The package is extremely simple to use and allows jailbroken users to track how many messages are being sent and received through a simple and native looking interface.
As far as photography based apps on the iPhone and iPod touch go, Clone Camera has to be one of the most unique, easy to use and effective apps around. Stepping away from the accepted normality of taking an image and adding a filter or an effect to it, Clone Camera allows a set of photographs to be captured with the device’s camera before allowing the user to highlight, strip out and synthesize a specific part of each captured image to create one final augmented picture.
Another year as brought another iPhone, and as has been the case all too frequently, yet another controversy. Sure, the problems haven't been on the same level as the Antennagate scandal of 2010, and perhaps not even as significant as the battery issues with the early iPhone 4S devices, but the metal backplate of the iPhone 5 has certainly agitated more than a few consumers.
Apple took the opportunity to add a tiny enhancement to the Camera app in iOS 6 with the addition of the native panorama feature, but although iOS panoramas have turned out to be quite successful, they in no way make up for the lack of features that some people still believe the Camera app suffers from. CameraTweak for jailbroken iPhones and iPod touches is an attempt to change that by brining a powerful set of new features to the native Camera app.
It was undoubtedly a disappointing day for the jailbreak loving world when Nicholas Allegra (Comex) publicly announced his departure from the community as a result of accepting an internship at the company he had worked so hard to circumvent in the few years prior. We will never really know if producers of jailbreak tools and tweaks do so in the hope of becoming known by Apple and ultimately offered dream employment with the Cupertino company, but after a year working the fruit Company, Allegra is officially flying solo once again.
When talking about the video games industry, SEGA is a seasoned veteran, and although there's no longer a flagship console on the market, the company continues to dazzle us with remakes of those old classics.
