PlayStation Network users have been having a hard time lately, with successive hacks, followed by a long downtime which continues to this day. At least they will now be able to tell whether the service is down or not thanks to a simple iPhone App.
This past Novemeber, when we saw a 17-year-old selling white iPhone parts months before the white iPhone was available to the general public, we thought "Uh oh, Apple's lawyers are probably on to this.". After 7 inexplicably long months, they're filing a lawsuit against the kid and his parents, along with an offer to drop the lawsuit if no further infractions occur. Why is Apple so generous?
There are many ways to extend the iPhone's camera feature, but there hasn't been a good accessory to take panoramic video. Thankfully, Dot, a Kickstarter project has managed to raise enough funding and will start shipping this summer.
Torrents, the bane of many a record and movie industry boss. While the download technology does have its legitimate uses, it's hard to argue against the fact that the vast majority of torrents flying around the Internet are of the less-than-legal variety.
Cydia, despite being the de facto standard tool for installing non-Apple-approved applications on jailbroken iDevices, it has a major drawback: it won't run in the background. That means you can't keep using the phone while you're installing an app, which can be quite tedious, especially when you're on the road, and most likely in a hurry. Here's how you can modify your iPhone to your wildest dreams and still check your email while you do it.
iPhone 3GS users should be disappointed, since, according to a tweet by a popular and well respected Russian tech analyst Eldar Murtazin, who's broken stories in the past, the 2009 device, iPhone 3GS, won't be getting iOS 5.
Apple has reached yet another milestone in its meteoric rise to mobile phone and application daddy, with the number of apps accepted into its App Store reaching the half million number.
Rumors of a future iPhone are definitely intensifying. Just over the last few months, a lot of information, including design aspects, have leaked out. That could only mean one thing: the next iPhone is months away from being unveiled. A leaked image by the Taiwanese website Apple.pro, allegedly depicting the back plate of a future iPhone, will only add to the excitement.
We've lost count of the number of times seemingly crazy technology has found its way into everyday hardware years down the line. Come to think of it, there have been some whacky hardware prototypes that have turned into must-have technology - just imagine what a Tablet PC owner would think if you could have put an iPad in front of them way back in the mid 1990s. Technology changes and often ends up making our lives better further down the line, and that's why we're so excited about the invisible iPhone concept we just spied over at Engadget.
Jeremie Francone and Laurence Nigay, two researchers from the Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble at the EHCI Research Group in France, have created a plausible system for viewing 3D images on iOS devices without glasses, all thanks to the device's front-facing camera. Interested?
