With the list of Android based tablets growing, so has manufacturer’s desire to lock down their tablet in the same way Apple has done with their iOS operating system.

iOS 5 is Incredibly Buggy – Nothing to See Yet
Having used iOS 5 for the last month, I have some thoughts about what it means as a new operating system, how it helps Apple, how it hurts Apple and how it affects the jailbreak community. Instead of being lazy and only writing a quick article that summarizes all of those things, I’ll break them [...]
iOS 5 Features Stuff Jailbreakers Want
There is no doubt that the WWDC conference yesterday pleased a lot of Apple users. However, it also brought to light how far behind iOS was in some areas compared to the competition and even the jailbreak community. The major components of yesterday’s announcement included things like updated mail, Wi-Fi syncing and notification improvements. It’s [...]

Notifications are first up on the list of things spruced up. You will now enter a notification center from anywhere on the iDevice by simply swiping down from the top (sounds a lot like a few Cydia apps I know).

Lockscreen has a ton more information. Sounds like they [...]
iPhone 5 is a Mobile Gaming Device First, Phone Second
iPhones have been released for the last 4 years in a row starting with the first being released in 2007 on June 29th. The 3G followed on July 11th, 2008. The 3GS continued the annual release schedule by arriving on June 19th, 2009 and the most recent iPhone, the iPhone 4, arrived in the US on June 24th, 2010. History tends to repeat itself, especially at Apple. What are the chances that the iPhone is released in June or July of 2011? Absolutely, positively 100%…
Apple’s iPad 2 – Not Magical, Probably Unplanned
The iPad 2 is widely expected to be announced at today’s Apple event. A year after the initial, largely successful, iPad launch Apple will release its follow up device. To be honest though, from everything I have heard, this event might not be worth watching. The iPad 2 is being called an “interim model”, a [...]
Radiohead’s King of the Limbs is Disappointing
Despite hearing the album in full 8-10 times, it hasn’t grown on me as much as I had hoped. Radiohead’s last two albums, Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows, were both great and In Rainbows in particular really added to Radiohead’s legacy as amazing musicians. I don’t think this album does. In fact, I would go as far as to say that The Kings of Limbs is the worst Radiohead album ever made…
More iPhone and iPad Cheat Codes
For as long as I can remember, video games have included cheat codes. In the old days, it was extremely rare to find an NES game that didn’t have at least a few. Entire publications sprung up because the simple fact was – gamers like to cheat or at the very least, have things made a bit easier for them. There must have been tens of millions of GameSharks sold over its many iterations. The entire purpose of that device was to use cheat codes within games. That is why it is so surprising that relatively few iPhone developers include cheats within their games…
