MobileNotifier is a great start to what iOS notifications should be

It amazes me at what you can do with a Jailbroken iDevice these days. Peter Hajas and Kyle Adams have created another brilliant reason to jailbreak your iDevice.

If you've ever felt frustrated with the way your iDevice displays notifications to you of messages and alerts, then this jailbreak tweak will have you jumping for joy. MobileNotifier beta v3 is a free open-source, complete rewrite of the iOS notification system.

MobileNotifier moves any notifications to the top of the screen rather than completely over your app, also granting you the ability to ignore these pop-ups without keeping you locked out of your current activity. If you want, you can even store them away for later, all of which can be viewed by double tapping your home bar (Task Switcher). These pending messages are displayed in the area above the task switcher, and even on the main lockscreen. Pretty smart if you ask me :)

Haven't jailbroken your iDevice yet? Now might be the time.

The app will be available in Cydia for FREE! Yes I said FREE. Kyle says it will be "free forever". :)

While still in Beta, it should be near completion soon! Stay Tuned!

For those eager to jump right in, here is the Beta repo: http://phajas.xen.prgmr.com/repo

Is this it?? iPad 2

What do you guys think???

Apple iPad 2 to debut March 2 in San Francisco, report says

Apple's next-generation iPad -- unofficially known as iPad 2 -- will be unveiled March 2 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, according to a report.
The Cupertino-based tech giant has sent out no invites as of yet, but the News Corp. website AllThingsD reported Tuesday morning that it had confirmed the date and location.





The first iPad was revealed at a media event, also at the Yerba Buena Center, by Apple CEO Steve Jobs on Jan. 27, 2010, and hit stores last April. So far, Apple has sold more than 15 million iPads.
The report offered no word on whether or not Jobs will attend the unveiling of the next iPad.
In January, Jobs announced he was taking an indefinite leave of absence to deal with health issues. Jobs remains CEO, but has handed most of his day-to-day duties to Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook.
Jobs did attend a dinner with President Obama last week, along with a handful of other California tech leaders.
The iPad 2 is widely expected to be thinner and lighter than the current version and add new features such as a front-facing camera for video chatting using Apple's FaceTime software, as well as a possible SD-card slot and camera on the back for shooting video and photos.
Officials at Apple and the Yerba Buena Center were unavailable for comment Tuesday.
Whenever it arrives, the iPad 2 will face a much more competitive market than when the first iPad hit retail outlets.
Google is rolling out its first version of its Android operating system designed for tablets -- called Honeycomb -- Thursday on the Motorola Xoom. By the end of the year, Honeycomb is likely to be on dozens of tablets.
Hewlett-Packard also showed off its HP TouchPad recently, running on its HP WebOS software, and Research In Motion is prepping to release the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet soon as well.

iPad 2 March 2nd??

Not much news today..

Happy Valentines day and to all a good night!!

Verizon iPhone is now available online #Retweet

The Verizon iPhone is now available for online orders, both atApple's site and Verizon's. Pre-orders were available last week to existing customers, some of whom have received their iPhones already, but online orders are now open to everyone.

If you'd rather buy a Verizon iPhone 4 at a brick-and-mortar store, it'll be available on February 10. My guess is there'll be some pretty long lines (and limited quantities) at your local Apple and Verizon stores, so buy online if at all possible and stay warm.

Carrier choice for the iPhone is nothing new in my part of the world, but I'm still pleased it's finally come to my old stomping grounds in the US. If you're just now joining the Cult of iPhone (one of us, one of ussss...) here's an introduction to the iPhone ecosystem; we also have aniPhone 101 series tailored to beginners.

Greenpois0n Jailbreak now works for Windows Users

We announced the greenpois0n jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 over the weekend. At the time, the jailbreak tool only worked on Mac. It didn't take long for the Chronic Dev Team to update the tool to now support Windows. This means you can jailbreak your Verizon iPhone using either a Mac or Windows.

As always, make sure you know what you're getting into when you jailbreak your iPhone. You should definitely read the documentation included with greenpois0n before you alter the way your iPhone works. The instructions for executing the jailbreak are pretty straightforward and you shouldn't have much trouble, even if you're new to the jailbreak world.

New Google Translate app for iPhone #Retweet

Google has released Google Translate for iPhone, a native iOS app that allows you to “speak to translate” in 15 different languages, with output support for up to 50 languages. Simply speak into your iPhone and the app will translate your speech into a number of different languages, even reading the text aloud for you:

• Translate text between 57 languages
• Translate by speaking the text instead of typing it (15 languages)
• Listen to your translations spoken aloud (23 languages)
• Display translations in full screen mode to make it easier for others nearby to read
• Star your favorite translations for quick access even when you’re offline
• Access your translation history even when you’re offline
• Spell out the translation of non-Latin script languages (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, etc..) in Latin characters to read it phonetically (e.g. Pinyin, Romaji)
• View additional dictionary results for single words or short phrases

Google Translate was previously available for iPhone but only through a webapp interface. With Google switching to a fully native version this lets users access a few additional features not available in the HTML5 version. It’s pretty fun to use and it would make a great sidekick if you’re traveling to a foreign country where you aren’t familiar with the native language.

Give it a try and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Louis Vuitton Launches iPhone App #Retweet

We've posted about Louis Vuitton's iPhone and iPad cases before -- they're the ones that are needlessly expensive, and often overly gaudy. But the luxury accessory company has a new initiative around Apple products: it's launching an iPhone app for travelers called Amble. The app makes use of the company's City Guides information to provide guidance to any number of locations of interest in whatever covered city you happen to be in. There's a social element as well, allowing you to share or browse locations sent across through social networks or from friends. And in-app purchases (from $10 to $15) allow for access to the actual City Guides information for cities like Paris or New York. The app itself is free (making it the cheapest thing Louis Vuitton has ever produced), and available on the App Store right now. Of course, unless you really need these specific guides for some reason, there are probably other iPhone apps that will do the same thing (I like and use the Yelp app a lot for finding information about places while traveling). But if you can't afford that $1000 iPhone case, you can at least wrap your iPhone in something made by LV.

WWDC 2011, iPhone 5? iOS 5? to be announced June 5-9? #Retweet

Moscone Center has a “Corporate Meeting” scheduled for June 5 – June 9, 2011 which looks to be the only period long enough to fit in Apple’s annual WWDC(World Wide Developers Conference) event where iPhone 5 and the final version ofiOS 5 would likely be announced. Of course there’s always the possibility of misdirection or last-minute shuffling so until Apple opens up registration we won’t know for sure. Still, it’s something.

Given the typical keynote structure, we’d then be looking for Steve Jobs (or an assortment of Apple execs including Tim Cook, Phil Schiller, Scott Forstall, etc.) to take the stage on Monday, June 6, a year and a day following the iPhone 4 announcement in 2010.

Yeah, the Verizon iPhone has barely started launching, we haven’t even gotten aniPad 2 announcement or iOS 5 beta preview yet, so it’s a little early to be dreaming about iPhone 5 but still…
