We all love owning and using our iDevices, probably a bit to much in some cases, but at the end of the day when the sun goes down there comes a point where we just want to slip under the covers and have an uninterrupted nights slumber. Depending on what apps you may have installed on your device, it could be set to push alerts for pretty much anything meaning that peaceful nights sleep could be well and truly thrown out of the window if you forget to flick that silent switch.
What could possible be better than having an iPhone or iPod touch with five docked icons at the bottom of screen? Yes, you guessed it, having ten docked icons is undoubtedly better and provides double the docked app fun. The DoubleDock tweak that hit the Cydia store in the last few hours offers that exact functionality, and will definitely prove to be one of those packages that either appeals or it doesn't.
Despite boasting several hundred thousand apps, there are still a few areas within Apple's App Store that one could point to as lacking somewhat in really groundbreaking apps.
Perhaps not the most exciting, but one of the most useful aspects of an iPhone or iPod touch in my opinion is the built-in functionality to display weather conditions for you local city using the default stock Weather app. iOS has always had a default Weather app from day one, which has remained relatively untouched with every new version of iOS which Apple releases.
Facebook has long been trying to become our personal address and telephone book. Replacing the need to keep track of all our friends and their contact details, Mark Zuckerberg's creation has largely succeeded in its quest to run our lives, especially if you happen to be of the right age. We're looking at you, young kiddly-winks!
Everyone loves a bit of privacy every now and then, and let's face it, I am pretty sure that everyone has given their cell phone number out to someone that they later regretted giving it to for one reason or another. You would expect, that in this advanced day and age when smartphones play such an increasingly important and prominent role in our everyday lives, we would have a native filtering option on the device, or at very least our networks would be able to provide such a service.
It seems like only yesterday that the jailbreak dream team dropped the good news by announcing the release of an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 that would bring liberation and freedom to those who were using an iPhone 4S or iPad 2 powered by Apple's A5 chip. It was in fact over eight weeks ago and although it was a huge accomplishment by all involved to release the Absinthe jailbreak, the community is once again focusing all eyes on the development teams hoping for a jailbreak which covers iOS 5.1.
If you're a fan of Formula One racing, you may have been a little disappointed with the games on the mobile front thus far. As a pretty avid fan of F1, I certainly have been.
A couple of weeks back, Apple was dealt a lawsuit from a disgruntled New Yorker who claimed that the Siri voice-recognition software did not work as smoothly in reality as it appeared to on the advertisements.
Ever since the introduction of iOS 5, Notification Center based tweaks have been all the rage. It seems that barely a day passes by without a developer dreaming up a new way to use the Notification hub for jailbreak purposes. Developer Ron Melkihor has come up with ClipboardEdit for Notification Center, which as the name might suggest allows jailbroken users to manipulate copied text strings directly through NC.
