Apple finally took the iPod family to next level, First with iTouch with Retina display and Camera and then iPod nano with a rocking new design with all Multi-Touch. It’s smaller, lighter, colorful, and sleek. You can clip it on, take it everywhere, and always keep your music within reach. One thing that was missing on iPod was FM, which they finally brought on this model. The FM tuner shows the artist, song, or program you’re listening to. Just tap to see the radio controls, flick the radio dial to change stations, and tap to set your favorites. [continue reading…]

The new iPod touch just has just been announced and it brings in all the speculated goodies. With a cost bump of $30 for the 8GB version, Apple is able to throw in a Retina Display, Dual cameras, the A4 chip, Gyro axis and a 40 hour battery life. Now thats something! The iPod touch retains the curves from the earlier generation (looks more rounded?) and doesnt go the iPhone 4 way with a all new design. Apple has also officially said it here it seems – the iPod touch is now just a iPhone without a phone. The iPod touch 4th gen also brings in FaceTime video chat and thus the iPhone 4 users would have some company.
The iPod touch now takes HD video and you will also have the iMovie on it. This thing is really exciting!
Pricing on iPod touch 4G:
$229 for 8GB, $299 for 32GB, and $399 for 64GB

iOS4 has brought some cool features to the iPhone 4 like multitasking, categories, threaded emails etc. One such great feature available on the iPhone 4 is Facetime. Facetime is a ready-to-use free video calling service that works over the WiFi. However, now with jailbroken iPhones you can also use Facetime over 3G. Now, in whichever country you might be the 3G data plans are generally limited to 1 to 2GB. So,it’s rather better to know how much bandwidth does FaceTime use over 3G or Wifi.
According to reports, Facetime uses 2-3 mb of bandwidth per minute. Now you know why AT&T can’t support it over 3G.

Battery life on the iPhone is a big concern. Many like myself avoid using too many apps and manually keep toggling the data services on and off (also bluetooth / wifi radio), just to save some battery juice. Now that the iPhone doubles up as an iPod and a handheld gaming device the challenge to preserve battery is much more. Infact the iPhone 4 even brings in FaceTime video calling which adds to the load. So here is an innovative Cydia app by Bigboss that costs $5.99 but lets you make optimum us of 3G network.

If you are one of those who have updated to / or are running a new iPhone 3GS / 4 with the iOS version 4.0.2 – and yet you want to unlock / jailbreak your iPhone, then here is some good news. While the Dev Team would make you wait for iPhone 4.1 to release relevant jailbreak tools, there is a little hack that would let you downgrade your iPhone 3GS or iPhone4 to the JailbreakME friendly iPhone 4.0.1.
So here is what you need to do: [continue reading…]

Rumors of a new iPod Nano / Shuffle with touchscreen has just got another shot in the arm with Apple Insider coming up with meaty details. While a 3cmx3cm screen was leaked before, the new rumor claims that the 6th gen iPod Nano is coming with a much smaller form factor (1.18″ touchscreen) and may offer some unique input methods. The claim is also that Apple has managed to retain the 30pin standard iPod dock in the new Nano touschscreen.
A 1.18″ screen looks pretty small and certainly couldn’t fit in a camera on the back. I don’t really see Apple making a Nano with a touchscreen such that a camera isn’t present. Why would they take a step backwards? However if you tell me that this is the new shuffle, I might agree!

I am going to give this game 5/5 and the reason for me not been able to write any reviews from so many days. A total non stop addictive game with multiple levels of enjoyment. A RPG game at its finest.

So if you are one of those facinated by the $30-$50 handsets that sport a Dual SIM on their specs sheet, well worry not. Here comes the iPhone 4 with a case that lets you plugin two SIM cards (yes Micro SIMs). Itself named the ‘iPhone 4 Dual SIM Adapter Case’ this thing works the old fashion way by letting in a connector to the SIM tray and letting you place a couple of SIMs on the outside. Though the transparent bit that houses the SIM cards isn’t the best of looks and if you really wanted function over form, would you be buying an iPhone 4? 
You can toggle between the two SIMs from the settings menu (of course you can’t use both of them together). This thing would cost $28.99 at USB Fever.

After setting up an email account, you may find that Mail loads message titles but not the message body previews or that mail receives blank messages then, to resolve this tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Preview and verify that the Preview setting is not set to None. If it was set to None, tap the number of lines you wish to see, return to Mail, and verify that you now see message body previews. [continue reading…]

Ever since Apple updated its iOS to fight the PDF bug, the Jailbreakme.com jailbreak disappeared. It was always on tender hooks with a major exploit being exposed on the Apple mobile platform. Now that Apple has its temporary (unplanned) updates to the iOS rolled out i.e. V4.0.2 for the iPhone 4 / 3GS / 3G iPod touch 2G / 3G and 3.2.2 for iPad – the Dev team sees no value in jailbreaking them just yet. As it seems they again want to wait for a major iOS release (upcoming version 4.1 for iPhone / iPad) and then rollout their tools.
The cat and mouse game would continue between hackers and Apple, but its a wise decision for the DevTeam to wait for the multitasking to come on iPad and the 4th gen iPod touch to also come out before they tell the world what exploit they have up their sleeves. Best of luck folks! [continue reading…]

Not the first stylus that has been made to work with the iPhone (or other iOS devices) but Just Mobile’s Alupen has its own charm. The Taiwan based group has an aluminum body & pencil shaped design for its product and sells online to practically all countries that Apple has its presence in. So if you are one of those who would like to go the old fashion way with you iPad and do some sketching with a stylus, this is for you! Wondering if app makers can make apps that are optimized for using stylus? And how about some handwriting recognition on the iOS with these styluses? Food for thought …
PS: The $20 price tag might look expensive once you see this
