Twitter’s iOS and Android native app offerings came under fire when they announced a complete redesign earlier this year. They removed established power user features that were first introduced in the Tweetie iPhone app (that Twitter acquired). This resulted in many folks jumping ship* to third party Twitter apps. Now, Twitter is doing their best to keep the new design while bringing back the power user features that were lost in the major update to version 4.
Although it's a wonderful thing to be able to carry a decent snapper at all times in the form of a smartphone, it has been argued that the mundane methods for editing them with a simple effect or a movable focus has sapped much of the creativity that goes with creating a well-edited image.
The Apple iPhone may have just celebrated its fifth birthday, but the seemingly never ending list of useful functions that the device can be used for is always on the rise. The introduction of the iPhone 4 brought with it an integrated rear LED that was intended to be used as a flash for the built in camera but thankfully Apple also allowed developers access to the APIs that control the light.
Jailbreak tweaks and apps provide an easy (and usually safe) way to enhance your experience with an iOS device. There are two types of jailbreak apps: ones that add something on top of an included feature or others that bring all new features that improve user experience in a way never imagined before. The awesome tweak we’ll be talking in this post belongs to the former category. Check it out after the jump.
There are a number of very capable note-taking apps within the iTunes App Store, and we've featured plenty of them here at Redmond Pie. As well as offering a great deal of useful features, it's becoming of increasing importance that notes can be backed up via the cloud, and Notesy by Giant Yak Software is prime example of solid features mixed with awesome Dropbox support.
Our smartphone devices ensure we're a productive as can be at all times, and although Apple packs a decent array of such apps natively on its iPhone, it's by no means a complete package. The stock offering of any device or ecosystem can always be improved upon with a little digging, and if you're constantly trying to log timings for certain events, Timesquare for iPhone might just be your perfect companion.
After many years of living in the wilderness, Apple Inc. is now sitting at the top of the technology food chain after becoming the embodiment of everything which the phoenix from the flames metaphor represents. After suffering in silence for numerous years, the insane popularity of the iPhone, iPad and iPod range of mobile devices as well as the resurgence of OS X-powered Macs has seen the Cupertino giants rise to the top of the pecking order.
If you've been longing for the immensely cool and "futuristic" ability to charge your iPhone wirelessly, you may be waiting a while for an official solution from Apple. However, a tinkerer who goes by the name of Tanveer took apart a wireless charging case for the iPhone and installed its components into the iPhone 4S chassis itself. If you have a bit of patience, a lot of soldering skills, sufficient knowledge of the iPhone's internals to disassemble, modify, and reassemble, and you don't fear breaking your iPhone by mistake, then this would be a fun project of you. The entire process is briefly touched on in a three minute video released by Tanveer.
If you are the smart and sophisticated kind of person who carries around an iPhone or iPod touch with you, then it is immediately evident that you appreciate the finer side of technology. Regardless of the iOS/Android divide, users of Google's mobile operating system will have to concede that Apple's iOS devices are of premium quality.
Next-Gen iPhone Display Leaked Again, 4-Inch Diagonally In Size, Utilizes In-Cell Technology [IMAGE]
Apple has, since the introduction of the very first iPhone in 2007, been happy to stick religiously with its 3.5-inch display, but with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC One X making the iPhone look comparatively minute, the consensus with regards to the next iPhone seems to be that the Cupertino company will finally break from the mold and increase the screen's real-estate.
