Next iPhone 5 Will Feature Thinner Display Technology

A few months ago, there were rumors circulating that may be included in future tools for touchscreen mobile technology: What does this mean in simple words is that instead of (LCD) screen has a significant level, which is part of the LCD. Consequence of this, of course, has much Thinner screen. (Up to 0.5 mm thinner). iPhone 5

The technology integrates touch sensors into the LCD, making it unnecessary to have a separate touch-screen layer. The absence of the layer, usually about half a millimeter thick, not only makes the whole screen thinner, but the quality of displayed images would improve, said DisplaySearch analyst Hiroshi Hayase. iPhone 5

WSJ just ”confirmed” that the sixth generation of the iPhone-is, this technology in-cell. The screen is thinner, should result in a fine, if Apple used this extra space to put a big battery. iPhone 5

In addition, Apple will reduce the cost since the touchscreen isn’t necessary to obtain a separate layer from the (LCD). What is perhaps most interesting is that there is a glaring omission from the list of potential industrial partners: Samsung. The list includes Sharp, LG and Sammy do not measure up to Japan. It is true that the two companies are not particularly good condition now, and that the company has been competing product of Korea, as in the scheme will not change soon. iPhone 5

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:29:00 -0700

The guys over BGR are confirming that production of iPhone 5 didn’t start yet. Usually, Apple goes through multiple tests and staged before manufacturing began. Stage 1 is “Engineering Verification Test”, Stage 2 “Design Verification Test”. According to sources, iPhone 5 now on EVT3 stage (the third revision of the Engineering Verification Test) and not yet entered the DVT (Design Verification Test) stage.

So here’s what happened to iPhone 4:

1. Verizon iPhone 4: This hit the EVT2 stage in mid-November, hit EVT3 the last week of November, and got up to DVT2 in late December.
2. iPhone 4: The unit that was lost in a San Francisco bar was in DVT stage in late March, and had hit EVT2 by mid-February of 2010.

The trusted sources also confirm that iPhone 5 that is being now have 1GB of RAM which is double the iPhone 4′s 512MB, integrated 4G LTE and NFC hardware also presented as well.

- VIP list and VIP and Flagged smart mailboxes will be available on iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later.

The fact that the iPhone iOS 6 is compatible with the iPhone 3GS – a milestone for Apple, because the device is the minimum requirement is iOS 5 – last year, but Apple still sells the device for three years, the company believes that should probably be brought up many new possibilities of iOS 6 – The iPhone 3GS is working on adding as much as possible within the limits of ancient art.

iPhone 5 Cases Now for Sale (Photos)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:24:00 -0700

Another iPhone 5 cases (being sold for $1.58) appears over the web. CydiaBlog, has shared some new photos of what they claimed to be iPhone 5 cases. The cases, however, do represent some small level of confidence by Chinese manufacturers that the iPhone 5 will match the circulating rumors. This includes a slightly taller/thinner design with a smaller bottom dock connector and a bottom-placed headphone jack.

One thing to remember: Just because a case maker is producing cases, doesn’t mean that the iPhone 5 will fit into it, as Apple didn't announce any feature or specs of its long awaited iPhone 5.

iPhone 5 will contain new and thinner “in-cell” technology (Report)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 11:45:00 -0700

After the news that European carriers have begun stockpiling nano-SIMs to stay ahead of the demand of the next-generation (link with that post), a new report from WSJ (via 9to5mac) states that Apple’s new iPhone will contain a new screen technology. The publication informs the display would become even thinner as a result of this technology. This is likely to make a thinner device as a whole.

The full story informs that LG, Sharp and a new company known as Japan Display are developing this new technology. This new, “in-cell” technology doesn’t separate the touch sensors from the LCD, and thus, makes the screen thinner:

The technology integrates touch sensors into the LCD, making it unnecessary to have a separate touch-screen layer. The absence of the layer, usually about half a millimeter thick, not only makes the whole screen thinner, but the quality of displayed images would improve, said DisplaySearch analyst Hiroshi Hayase.

Furthermore, the report pointed out the dropping of the additional touch sensor later that will make gearing up the supply chain an easier task for the production of the new handset.

For Apple, the new technology would also simplify the supply chain and help cut costs as it would no longer have to buy touch panels and LCD panels from separate suppliers.

Back in April, DisplaySearch analyst David Hsieh crazy August 7th rumor. There are expectations of a four-inch display, a smaller dock connector, LTE-compatibility and maybe a nano-SIM standard. Feel free to comment!

iPhone 5 Leaked Case [Images]

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:07:00 -0700

iPhone 5, the most awaited smartphone from Apple has become the talk of town. As it is on hip, every blog is trying to cover and collect each and every bit of scattered pieces of information from their sources. Thereby, some of the voices are turning into rumors while others are trying to pursue their sources for the latest updates of this next gen gadget of Apple Inc’s. Until now, the release month of Apple’s next gen iPhone is confirmed by many Blogs which is most likely by this upcoming October. However, we have already posted that iPhone may be released in the first week of august.

We have already broken out much news about the release of next gen iPhone. However, earlier today, KitGuru has come up with a case which reflects the shape and design of the most awaited iPhone 5. Beside the shape of the iPhone, the sample shows the evidence of reduced thickness of iPhone alongside of larger size of LCD display. They claim, “a pre-release test sample so its safe to say it will be ‘cleaned up’ for the retail release”.

Other than the evidence of thickness and larger sized display, this case from KitGuru shows many other proofs of the changes that Apple is going to bring about including much smaller size of dock connector and other peripheries.

However, the larger display size is a sure thing which will be introduced in the next gen iPhone 5. What do you think? Do you like this leaked case of your next smartphone? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Jailbreak iOS 6 beta 2 build 10A5338d with Redsn0w 0.9.13dev2

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 05:03:00 -0700

iOS 6 will be made publically available in fall. However, the developers are known to get early access to the firmware, and so if you are a developer you can jailbreak the new iOS and test it.Apple has already released two betas of the latest firmware and iH8sn0w’s status a few days ago indicate that a third beta is along the way. This guide will show you how to jailbreak using redsn0w 0.9.13dev2, it is not an untethered jailbreak, and it’s not compatible with the latestfirmware update, which is why when jailbreaking your iOS device on iOS 6 beta 2 you will need to point to the previous beta firmware. Just read on and you will understand how to go ahead with it.

Jailbreak iOS 6 beta 2

Step 1: Download the iOS 6 Beta 2.

Step 2: Place Device in the DFU mode. To do this, hold down the Home + Power buttons on the device for 10 seconds simultaneously. Now released the Power button without releasing the Home button. Continue holding the Home button for 10 seconds. Now release the Home button and you’ll be in DFU mode.

Step 3: Download

redsn0w 0.9.13dev2 for Windows
redsn0w 0.9.13dev2 for Mac

Step 4: Run redsn0w.

Step 5: Go to Extras > Select IPSW > and point to the iOS 6 beta 1 firmware (download from these links):

Download for iPhone 4S
Download for iPhone 4 GSM / iPhone 4CDMA
Download for iPhone 3GS
Download for iPad 2 WiFi / iPad 2 WiFi+3G (GSM) / iPad 2 WiFi+3G (CDMA) / iPad 2 Revised WiFi
Download for iPad 3 WiFi / iPad 3 WiFi+3G
Download for iPod Touch 4G
Download for Apple TV 2G
Download for Apple TV 3G

Step 6: Go back to the main menu and make sure Install SSH is checked and then just proceed with the jailbreak.

Step 7: After that’s done, put the device back in DFU mode, go to extras, select IPSW, and again point to the iOS 6 beta 1 firmware.

That’s it. Your device is now jailbroken tethered on iOS 6 beta 2. There would be no Cydia installed. We will have a separate tutorial for that.

Do note that only developers can install the iOS 6 beta 2 firmware, and that iOS 6 beta 1 will be required for the jailbreak. It is only compatible with A4 devices such as the iPhone 4, 3GS, and the iPod Touch 4G. Furthermore, those who are on untethered jailbreak using iOS 5.1.1 should stay away as this new firmware will patch Pod2g’s jailbreak exploits. Unlockers should stay away as well as it is going to upgrade the baseband when attempting to upgrade via iTunes. Feel free to leave your comments!

Download iOS 6 beta 2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 05:02:00 -0700

iOS 6 was revealed at WWDC 2012. The developers got a chance to taste the latest firmware with the first beta release. The second beta of the world’s most advanced operating system was released later on with minor bug fixes and enhancements.

Why are we excited about iOS 6? It offers new features that were available in Cydia for iOS 5. Other exciting features include turn-by-turn navigation and 3D maps. However, iOS 5 showed a clear difference between itself and the previous version. It also brought an improved user experience and efficiency. The NC was introduced with a proper structure and iMessages allowed communication without any charges.

Will iOS 6 make the cut? We expect so as iOS has always been on top compared to the AndroidOS. The iOS 6 beta 2 can be downloaded from the links below. Alternatively, iOS developers can get it from the going into the phone’s Settings > General > Software Update. Only those with a registered UDID can get the update.

iPhone 5 In Production With All-New Design [Rumor]

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 02:52:00 -0700

As we are just a few weeks away from Apple’s media event where it will introduce iPhone 5 which will inspire the world by its great design and performance. We were able to gather more information about the iPhone 5 and what is the latest steps the rumors stopped at it. Today we have got a new rumor from the folks at Macotakara and they are a very popular Japaneses Tech blog which claims that Apple’s next-generation of iPhone is already in production with all-new design

The Japaneses blog has proven accurate in the past, says it has learned from reliable Chinese sources that the new iPhone has just gone into the manufacturing phase.

“Told that my reliable Chinese sources, new iPhone has started Manufacture Phase, then “5 iPhone cases” Are Being leaked at Alibalba.Com. This source Also Told, “iPhone 5 “Been which had leaked in May Were prototype (via 9To5Mac) Design for test, and Producing new iphone has SEVERAL Different Design in detail. The Design, which Were Told by this source, of this new iPhone HAS Blackface Naked partially glass and Aluminum Surface part covered.”

Really this is a good news and a very nice step which makes us very closer to know everything about the iPhone 5, if you used Google Translate it sounds like is that the back panels that surfaced back in May were early prototypes (which you probably already knew), and the actual iPhone that’s in production right now looks a lot different (which you might not have known).

So what do you think about this good news ?! Everyday I become much more excited and can’t keep myself from waiting.

Rumor: New iPhone will be unveiled on August 7th

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 12:42:00 -0700

Every instance of the iPhone is greeted with a lot of anticipation and that breads a lot of speculation as well. And why shouldn’t it? After all, every new iPhone launched has a lot to talk about. Last year Apple launched the 4S around October along with iOS 5, and so using common sense and the expertise of the tech geeks we can assume a similar schedule to follow. However, the latest news has something different to offer, and it claims that Apple is all set to announce its next-generation iPhone on the 7th of August.

KnowYourMobile has reported that a reliable industry source told them that the iPhone 5 would be launched through a keynote speech on August 7th.

Although this information has tingled our senses, but we just can’t seem to believe in this rumor. Why not? You may be thinking, well its simple, its just way too early for Apple to launch the next installment of their iPhone, and most carriers have two year contracts with their customers to whom they offer the iPhone at a subsidized rate. In addition to that they offer the option to upgrade after a period of 12 months, and these early adopters account for a large portion of Apple’s sales. Saying this, why would Apple launch its new iPhone 2 months earlier and loose all that revenue?

If you don’t want to believe that, maybe you will believe this; The Loop‘s Jim Dalrymple, famous for being tight with the Cupertino Company, has given his verdict on the subject. In response to what KnowYourMobile claims, all that Jim said was “Nope” and that’s exactly what we are saying as well, No way the new iPhone is coming this early, so all you iPhone fans out there, you will have to wait till October at the most to get a glimpse of the new iPhone.

Though these rumors may turn out to be false, there are some confirmed rumors about the iPhone 5, for one, it’s going to have a larger display, a NFC chip, improved processor setup, and a two toned aluminum back panel. Feel free to share your valuable thoughts in the comments section below!

iOS 6 Release Date: What Not to Expect This Fall

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 01:32:00 -0700

At WWDC 2012 in June, Apple announced its new mobile operating system, iOS 6, and pegged it with a release date sometime during the fall of this year.

The software is expected to come alongside the new iPhone, which is presumably going to be called the iPhone 5. It will also likely arrive with a new 7.85-inch iPad Mini, Apple’s newest member of the iPad family.

We expect iOS 6 to arrive shortly before both of those launches, as is customary with Apple releases, and while we still don’t have a specific release date to speak of, we wanted to make a few predictions about what iPhone and iPad owners shouldn’t expect from the iOS 6 release date when it arrives this fall.

We look at what not to expect from iOS 6 this fall.

Read: iOS 6 Release Date: What to Expect This Fall.

Release on iPhone 5 Announcement Day

While many current iPhone and iPad owners, especially those with the new iPad and iPhone 4S since they will be getting the most from iOS 6, will want to see the upgrade arrive early, don’t expect the iOS 6 release date to come before the iPhone 5 announcement.

Don’t expect an early iOS 6 release.

Last year, Apple announced the iOS 5 release date at the iPhone 4S event and the release to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users came a few days after the announcement and a few days before the arrival of the iPhone 4S.

We expect the same to happen this year.

We’re also expecting the iPhone 5 to arrive in October and not in August or September so look for the release date to arrive in October.

A Smooth Update Process

Last year’s iOS 5 release date was marred by server issues and update errors that plagued iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users throughout launch day.

Unfortunately, there are more users than ever before that will be trying to download iOS 6 from Apple’s servers on launch day. This of course thanks to the successful releases of the new iPad and the iPhone 4S both of which that have gone on to sell in the millions.

The iOS 5 release date had its fair share of issues.

Also keep in mind that iPhone 3GS users are in the mix, again, for iOS 6, so there will be no shortage of users trying to install on day one.

Hopefully, Apple learned its lessons from last year but even if it did, we still expect there to be issues.

Happy iPhone 3GS Users

Apple shocked just about everyone when it announced iOS 6 would be coming to the iPhone 3GS, a phone that is over three years old. Of course, the iOS 6 that will be coming to the iPhone 3GS will be stripped down almost completely but that doesn’t mean that iPhone 3GS will be happy on iOS 6 release date.

Why? Two reasons. One, iPhone 3GS owners will be upset to find that the only things iOS 6 will have brought to the phone are the new UI and the new Maps app.

40 iOS 6 Features You’ll Actually Care About.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 01:30:00 -0700

Read: 40 iOS 6 Features You’ll Actually Care About.

And if they aren’t unhappy about the lack of features, they are probably going to be unhappy about how the software runs.

iOS 5.1.1 runs decently on the iPhone 3GS but it’s not perfect. Apple will be adding to the software with iOS 6 which could make for an even worse experience.

Buggy Software

One thing that Apple does extremely well with its mobile software is making sure that iOS is void of as many bugs as possible. The beta process helps in that regard. Unlike major Android updates that plague both aging and current devices, iOS updates generally don’t wreck havoc on devices.

The company also doesn’t have to work within the confines of a public deadline, something that often makes Android manufacturers and carriers rush to put out an update that contains several nasty bugs.

Apple will make sure that the gold, final version of iOS 6 is solid across the board which means that iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users should expect a well-oiled, not rushed, iOS 6 on release day.

A Roll Out of the Same iOS 6 We Saw at WWDC

Last year, Apple waited for the iPhone 4S announcement to reveal Siri, the device’s unique personal assistant feature. And while we still don’t know what Apple has planned for the iPhone 5, we expect it to come with something unique in terms of its software.

Possible iPad Mini Sample Photos Leaked

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:41:00 -0700

After the purported next-generation iPhone physical mockups were released, GottaBeMobile ended up posting a similar series of pictures for the rumored smaller iPad. In their report the site notes that the hardware seems to be case molds.

The images provided by GottaBeMobile don’t seem to provide much information regarding the rumored iPad Mini. One thing the cases moldings do reiterate is the fact that the iPad Mini is going to be significantly thinner than the current generation 9.7-inch iPad. The rumored smaller dock connector is also shown between the dual speaker grills.

The images above also show a nice comparison between the current iPad and what the smaller iteration of the iPad would look like side by side. The smaller dock connector would also go hand to hand with what is speculated in the next-generation iPhone. Having the smaller dock connector would mean that both next-generation iOS devices would share connectors with one another but probably won't be backwards compatible which makes the whole ordeal seem a bit skeptical. While all of these rumors aren’t fully confirmed, there seems to be some credibility with previous speculation and rumors and the pictures shown. We’ll have to wait for more concrete information in the form of an announcement or a more credible source.

iPad Gets Google+ Treatment With New App

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:40:00 -0700

Google recently released Google+ version 3.0 as a universal update which adds new features to the iPhone app and is the first version that is made for the iPad with its own unique interface features. Both iOS devices now give the option of being able to create and manage Google events, manage comments, add photos, and see who is coming to the event. Google Hangouts is another feature that is now supported on both iOS devices as well, which means you’ll be able to start and participate in Hangouts from wherever you are.

The iPad version of Google+ is a nice refresh with its intuitive interface layout that makes it easier to browse through circles and newsfeeds. You can use the app in either portrait or landscape views and Google+ displays photos and headlines of posts with big tiles that you can swipe to browse or touch to read more. In the upper right, you have a button to create a new post with options for texts, uploading a photo, or “checking” in by posting your location. The upper left portion has a button that slides out a menu that lets you navigate the main features to tweak your profile, start a hangout, find people, and app settings. You’re given the option to check the latest notifications as well.

Google+ (iTunes Download Link)

The organization of Google+ circles is also refreshingly intuitive in the new app. At the top center of the interface on the Home Screen, you can touch to bring up a drop-down menu to browse your created Circles, What’s Hot currently on Google+, activity from users in your Circles, and also activity from users nearby your location. One of the more interesting things about the new app are the nifty animations that were implemented. These animations are apparent when you browse through tiles or switch circles.

The large UI overhaul was improved on the iPhone this past May but with the new feature editions and a better layout on the iPad, Google+ seems to be headed in the right direction. The changes will probably get more users to actively participate in the service. The update is available today for free at the App Store.

Possible iPhone 5 Engineering Sample Photos Leaked in China

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:38:00 -0700

According to GottaBeMobile, they have gotten their hands on what they are calling “iPhone 5 engineering samples.” The photos they provided claim to be proof of a physical construction of the rumored next-generation iPhone design. The report claims the metal casing is slightly taller than that of the iPhone 4/4S, a little thinner, and the same width. This goes hand to hand with the speculation that the next generation iPhone will be redesigned.

Chances are that the metal mockup is simply just a case maker’s mold but it is possible that these are actual engineering samples manufactured in Apple’s supply chain. This case design seems similar to those reported towards the end of May, which gives both rumors some credibility.

If Apple does go with this design or one similar to it, the next-generation iPhone will be still be dwarfed by Android offerings such as the Galaxy S III and other flagship Android devices. Size isn’t what people usually seek when they go for iOS products though, as its more so the quality, the finish, and the elegance coupled with the iOS software and growing App Store.

Twitter 4.3 for iOS Released - Finally A New Icon!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:37:00 -0700

It has been a little while since Twitter updated their logo by rotating their bird icon just a few degrees counter-clockwise. iOS 6 beta 2 came with an updated icon for the integrated Twitter support, but Twitter’s iOS application lagged behind without an icon change. Today, Twitter 4.3 is live in the App Store with not only an updated icon with the new Twitter logo, but also with some new features. The new application icon with the updated Twitter logo is shown below:

Twitter now allows you to see previews of content from links to partnered Web sites right from your Twitter stream – in other words, screenshot site links will now let you see image previews and YouTube links will let you see video previews, push notifications for specific Tweets or Retweets from people you follow has been added, and ambient notifications so that Twitter-specific notifications don’t bother you as much when you’re in the Twitter application has also been added as a highly requested feature to the Twitter application.

Other minor changes to the application include:

Enhanced autocomplete for searches
Indications when new Discover stories are available for you
Avatars can be tapped to get to people's Twitter profiles
In-app password entry for authentication purposes
Hungarian language support added
Stability improvements and bug fixes included

The update looks good so far and the application is already more responsive than it was before the update, where the application was pretty sluggish. The updates probably still aren’t enough to sway people away from third party clients like Tweetbot, but people that use the stock Twitter application day-by-day should be pretty excited for the update and should find it to make the overall mobile Twitter experience better. The overall appearance of the application is still the same.

You can grab the free update from this link. While you're at it, don't forget to follow Rinkul123

Add A Mute Switch to the iPod Touch With 'TapVolumeToMute'

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 7 Jul 2012 11:44:00 -0700

The iPhone and the iPad both have a switch on the side of the device by the volume buttons that is capable of being used as a mute switch. The iPod touch, on the other hand, has nothing but volume buttons, which requires you to manually set the volume down to silent and then manually bump it back up to an audible volume. As this can be a pain, jailbreaking comes into focus to fix the problem.

Available for free in Cydia today is a new jailbreak tweak dubbed TapVolumeToMute by iOS developer CoolStar. As the name implies, you are going to be using the touch screen and not any type of hardware switch to get the same kind of reaction you would expect from a mute switch. The tweak is very easy to use – simply bring up the volume's heads up display (HUD) by pressing either of the volume buttons and then tap on the heads up display to mute the device.

You will know when the device is muted, because tapping on the heads up display will remove all the volume indicator dots at the bottom of the heads up display to make it look the same way as it would when your volume is all the way down. To un-mute the iPod touch, you just need to press either volume button to bring up the heads up display again, tap on the heads up display once more, and your volume will return to its original setting before muting it.

The muting function is good to have on the iPod touch because applications with push notifications and sounds enabled will continue to make noise when you get notifications until the iPod touch has its volume lowered down to the bare minimum. For some, this is a tedious fix and having a way to mute the device temporarily and quickly in a similar fashion to the iPhone is a necessity that Apple never gave us.

It's interesting how such a small mod can be so great for the operating system and we can recommend this tweak to all iPod touch owners. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, you should just stick with using the mute switch. TapVolumeToMute has no options to configure and you can start using it immediately after installation. Be sure to give it a try and let us know what you think about it.

Report Claims Amazon to Launch Three New Kindle Fire Models This Fall

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 7 Jul 2012 11:42:00 -0700

According to NPD Display Search senior analyst, Richard Shim, Amazon will begin production of follow-up models to its Kindle Fire in late summer, ahead of a possible fall rollout that is expected to bring new screen resolutions and 4G wireless compatibility to the 7-inch tablet. The internet retail giant is said to be bringing at least three models of what is being called the “Kindle Fire 2” to the market and could potentially have an 8.9-inch version in the works for a fourth quarter 2012 release.

Shim, citing “supply chain” sources from a number of different parts manufacturers, expected three distinct 7-inch models that are rumored to show up in time for the holiday season. The three models include the following:

1,024-by-600 display, no camera; August production.
1,280-by-800 display with camera; August production.
1,280-by-800 display with camera and 4G connectivity; September production.

It is being said that an 8.9-inch version with a 1,920 by 1,200 pixel display is said to follow the production of the smaller models as well. Such a device would sit comfortably between the recently-released Google Nexus 7 and larger 9.7-inch Android tablets.

The next-generation Kindle tablets are expected to be using either Texas Instruments OMAP chips or Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3 processors. The screens for the new devices will reportedly boast a density of 216 pixels per inch, identical to the Nexus 7 but short of the third generation iPad’s 264 PPI Retina display. Still, the company is looking to provide an improvement over the first Kindle’s 170 PPI. Pricing for the tablets continues to remain unknown, however it is likely that they will be more budget focused tablet prices, more targeted to drive content sales through the Amazon online store.

Amazon seems to be trying to ramp up the competition with its fair share of releases into the market. We can’t forget about the rumored Amazon smartphone which is also said to release sometime in the near future and compete with Apple, Google, and Microsoft primarily in the smartphone market. Apple just needs to keep an eye out and keep on doing what they have been doing successfully all along, attract and retain customers with aesthetically pleasing and simple-to-use devices.

Theme of the Week (6/29 - 7/6)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 7 Jul 2012 11:41:00 -0700

Taking a look at all the good themes in Cydia this week, we feel that FrameD by Miket25 has the most to offer in terms of detail and design characteristics. Take a look at some of the screenshots below:

FrameD is hosted in the ModMyi repository for a cost of $1.99. After purchasing it, you will be able to enable it from WnterBoard and see iOS in a whole new way. The theme focuses on icons and important interface elements by closing them in with black frames – hence the name, FrameD. One of our favorite parts is the battery icon, which looks great on the lock screen while your device is being charged. FrameD themes a ton of things, from application icons, to lock screen elements, to badges. It puts a custom background in the multitasking App Switcher and within folders. Because of the way the theme frames all your application icons, it doesn't matter what applications you have since they are all framed with the theme's characteristics. All stock application icons are given a new look within the black frames. We like that the theme is both simplistic and easy on the eyes. If you haven't checked this theme out yet, it is worth the time to take a peek at.

Honorable Mentions

Apart from this week’s winner, we would also like to mention a couple of other themes that were released this week and are also impressive.

The first one: Helium HD by maustincoulter.

Helium HD is hosted on the ModMyi repository for a cost of $2.99. Helium HD has an entirely unique appearance that themes every application icon with a frame-like appearance. Helium HD will theme lock screen elements, navigation interfaces, the status bar, SpringBoard icons, and Notification Center. It doesn't actually change any of the icons other than the frame it makes around them. The theme is centered around a blue and black theme and brings out a dark appearance; it looks best with a darker wallpaper. It themes a lot more elements than most themes, so it is certainly worth taking a look at if you're into making your iOS device unrecognizable from the stock look.

The second one: Aquelo HD by Primo.TM.

Aquelo HD is hosted on the ModMyi repository for a cost of $2.50. Aquelo HD changes all your icons to look rounder and badges are given the opposite treatment – they look more square. Aquelo HD themes lock screen elements, navigation interfaces, the status bar, SpringBoard icons, Notification Center, and even includes a loading page for each application as you launch it. The loading screen seems like more of an advertisement for the theme than a loading page, but it makes up for that in appearance. The icons are all replaced with a more detailed icon that will add to the beauty of the theme. It also includes two widgets – a weather widget on the home screen and an Apple on the lock screen. Important parts of iOS are definitely emphasized by this theme and it's worth a look.

Objective-C Booming Thanks to iOS Development

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 7 Jul 2012 11:40:00 -0700

According to a recent study iOS app development seems to have a larger learning curve than other mobile platforms. Not only is it more difficult to learn and master it also costs developers more in terms of time, effort, and expenses to develop and iOS app compared to developing an Android, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone app. That being said, the iOS platform has boosted the popularity of Objective-C, the programming language used by Apple for development on both the iOS platform and the Mac platform, which in turns makes it the third most popular language with developers.

It was also revealed that despite the iOS platform being costly to develop for, it also offered the most financial reward. With the most to gain, it’s easy to see why many developers would favor iOS development and Objective-C over other platforms and programming languages. July's TIOBE Programming Community Index shows that Objective-C beat out C++ for the number three spot, being left behind C and Java, which took the top two spots with 18.331% and 16.087% of developers using them respectively. Objective-C recently earned a respectable 9.335%, putting it just a little ahead of C++ which had 9.118% of developers actively using it.

The top ten list of programming languages include the following:

C 18.331%
Java 16.087%
Objective-C 9.335%
C++ 9.118%
C# 6.668%
Visual Basic 5.695%
PHP 5.012%
Python 4.000%
Perl 2.053%
Ruby 1.768%

Apple seems to be gaining traction in various studies and charts, most of which continue to reflect the company’s growth.
