Well, this doesn’t come in the form of surprise. But Apple’s approval process continue to lack in approving apps which doesn’t comply with their policies. There’s now another application on App Store which lets you delete system applications on your iOS device. In other words, you could hide all those pre-installed application which you don’t use anymore.
We think that the actual reason for HiddenApps app to go unnoticed from the eyes of reviewers is due to the fact that it offers much more functionalities if you simply neglect the name. Also, if you read the description of the application, it doesn’t say much about it. According to the developer, it’s an application that tells you tips and tricks about your iDevice. On the contrary, it does more than that. [click to continue…]

On Thursday, the US Patents and Trademarks office published details about three patents filed by Apple in the last two years that patent an exclusive system to sell and loan used Digital content like books, music and movies owned by users. The whole proposed system by Apple is quite similar to a system Amazon has patented (applied in 2009) recently with the only difference being Amazon is planning for a central market place like its Music store and Movies store unlike Apple which is planning for a decentralised peer to peer exchange system.
The whole system is more about managing the digital access rights of various owners of the same content and transferring the digital access rights to new owners. There is high probability that Apple might be taking help of its iCloud service to maintain all the digital content on cloud and provide cloud service to access the digital content rather than the content residing on the owners device. That way managing owner right sand restricting access will be much easier for Apple.

Whenever we talk about listening Bollywood music online on an application, we tend to talk about Saavn as well. Currently, if you want to listen to music on Saavn, you need to have either a Wifi or 3G connection on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Although the quality of the songs which are being streamed is of decent quality, there’s no way for anyone to download them or listen to those songs offline.
In addition to it, if you are someone who travel a lot and your carrier doesn’t provide you with consistent 3G connectivity everywhere, you would probably face serious issues with Saavn application. To solve this issue, folks from Saavn have come up with a subscription based service which they are calling it as ‘Saavn Pro’ to let you download songs from within the cloud and then use them later for offline listening.

Built on the funding from people, the platform has now many members who use various clients on their mobile devices to remain connected. Netbot is an alternative of Tweetbot for App.net.
NetBot is currently available for free for a limited time. Otherwise, it’s priced on par with Tweetbot for iPhone. You should grab one if you use App.net often. To join App.net service, you would need to shell out for a month with 10 GB of storage space, for a year with the same storage space and 00 if you are a developer.

Geohot, an iOS hacker who was the first person to come out with a hardware unlock for iPhone has now plunged in to application space. And his first application would be called ‘reactions’ where users would be able to use both the cameras for photo capture in spite of only one which is typically found in all photography apps on App Store.
According to Geohot, it’s disgusting that all iOS applications use only one camera at a time. Why not use both and show other side of the scene as well. To demonstrate the same, he has also showed some of the screenshots which gives you an idea on how it’s different from other apps. Also, you wouldn’t be able to save pictures in camera roll once captured. Instead, you would have a dedicated time interval in which you can share the picture to Facebook if it’s the rightful picture you wanted. [click to continue…]

Whatsapp has finally received an update to support the 4 inch screen of iPhone 5 and some iOS 6 improvements. Although it’s a tad late, but iPhone 5 users have been waiting for this update since a quite long time. After the iPhone 5 launch, people had been using the Whatsapp application in letterboxed mode where the screen is not stretched to encapsulate the entire increased height of iPhone 5.
Whatsapp is popular among many Indian users who completely rely on this application for any text related communication. Even though there are certain limitations for iPhone users when it comes to sending files, the cross platform nature of Whatsapp has led this application to grow at a faster pace. Undoubtedly, many other similar applications have landed in App Store which exactly does that. But none has been able to compete with the ecosystem of Whatsapp.
