* Believe it if you will. Thanks to our friends at 9to5Mac for "confirming" the arrival of the white iPhone 4 in Spring 2011. Apparently Apple store signage being distributed includes the verbiage " The white iPhone 4 will be available spring 2011". Yeah! Err...ummm, whatever. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my iPhone 4...

A new tweak has appeared in Cydia called Air Home Video. For $0.99, this tweak will bypass the inability of AirPlay in iOS 4.2.1 to stream videos from your camera roll to your Apple TV. Apple really needs to fix this. Don't forget AirVideoEnabler to stream other videos to your Apple TV. Air Home Video...

A while back the iPhone Dev Team released the latest unlock for the iPhone 3G/3gs.

In one of my previous posts I talked about HDR Photography using Pro HDR. As you may recall one of the options is to chose two pictures from within your photo library and combine them. As I mentioned, not a lot of people go around taking a picture that's under exposed and over exposed for...

A must-have VoIP app has hit the App Store. Viber is a free app that will make calls to other friends with the app over 3G/WiFi. There's no sign up involved, it runs in the background, and you get a push notification when you get a call. This app is going to save you big...

Everybody loves Google Doodles as they are just fun to view during special holidays and dates. The Google team announced yesterday mobile users on iPhone/Android no longer have to miss out on the fun: While we’ve had oodles of Google doodles on our desktop homepage since Larry and Sergey created our very first in 1998,...

I – like a ballooning number of other iOS 4.2 users – as evidenced by this Apple Discussion Thread, seem to be having major slowdowns with WiFi browsing/download speeds with the newest update. This is eerily reminiscent of the original delay of the iOS 4.2 upgrade and the submission of the new OS Gold Master...

Update 1: From the Xmarks Blog: We’re also committed to keeping Xmarks free while implementing a viable long-term plan. Xmarks is transitioning to a “freemium” business model, the same model that allowed LastPass to grow into a thriving, profitable business. The browser add-on and the vast majority of what users have enjoyed remains free. Users...
