It was almost nine months ago that we brought you the original article regarding the release of the AndroidLoader tweak onto the Cydia store. May 2011 saw developer Surenix release AndroidLoader for jailbroken iPhones and iPod touches which gave users the ability to use a tap or slide in gesture to view all of their installed applications in one place. The name of the tweak will no doubt give it away, but the intention of the modification was to mimic the behavior of the app launcher that is found on the Android operating system.

Instagram, Lovestagram and now Cinemagram. Every way we turn there is a new 'gram' application which uses the power of visual art to entice users in to using the service. As we all know by now, Instagram is the popular photo sharing application which allows filters to be applied to photographs and shared with the Instagram network. Lovestagram is a soon to be made live service which has been created by an adoring girlfriend as a valentines day gift for her man, and Cinemagram, well that is a new application released onto the App Store two days ago which exists to create a beautiful hybrid image born out of image and video.
The world is going Siri crazy. Well, maybe not the whole world, but it seems that Apple's personal assistant software has caused a storm with the iPhone 4S flying off shelves, television commercials popping up all over the place, the Cydia store being infiltrated by Siri based enhancements and even developers pushing out Siri clones onto other mobile operating systems. In the last few weeks alone we have seen the introduction of the 'Evi' iPhone application, as well as 'Sara' making her way onto the Cydia store.
We love us some patents here at RedmondPie, and Apple is one company that just likes to apply for patents as if the fate of the world depended on it. Of course, this being Apple, their patent applications tend to get picked up by the technology press and then picked apart in the hope we find a future product or service hidden in there somewhere!
One of the things we often take for granted from our mobile devices is the ability to quickly transfer files between any Bluetooth-capable devices. iOS doesn't really play ball, though, leaving iPhone users to look for other means to share audio, video, and image files.
In May of last year we brought you some news about a truly fantastic piece of development work by a developer known as Chris Simpson, also known as Apocolipse if we are to give him his online moniker. We covered the initial release of a tweak known as 'RecognizeMe' which used the front facing camera on a jailbroken iOS device to provide an extra layer of security before access could be granted to the passcode protected gadget.
When Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom first received funding for their 'Burbn' project, I don't think they could have imagined the rollercoaster ride they were about to embark on which led them to changing the name of their project to Instagram, launching in the iPhone App Store in 2010 and quickly becoming the proud parents of one of the most loved and used applications around today.
