A new Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone will be hitting the Verizon shelves soon. Verizon and HTC once again have teamed up to release the new HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE smartphone. The phone comes packed with a 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, a 4 inch LCD qHD screen, and an 8 megapixel camera. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much talk about price or an exact release date – just a vague availability of “in the coming weeks”. Continue reading →
New Future iPhone Mockups – Apple Worthy?
Forum users over at the 9to5 Mac Forums have posted two iPhone mockups based on current iPhone rumors. Of course these mockups almost never reach users hands, they’re still fun to imagine using. And then there are some people who take mockups a little too far. Below are two mockups that were created to reflect rumors surrounding the new iPhone that will be released this year and iOS 6 which will be released during Apple’s WWDC in June. Continue reading →
Text Editing On The iPad Just Got A Lot Easier For Jailbreakers
Typing on the iPad has never been something I was particularly fond of. Having to go back and forth between the keyboard and the text you’re writing is nowhere near as fast or efficient as using a physical keyboard and shortcuts. But the other day I saw a concept video that showed how text editing on the iPad could be much better. Just swipe to the left or right on the iPad keyboard to move the cursor left or right. No more back-and-forth between the keyboard and text. Genius! That was just 3 days ago, and it seems a jailbreak developer has already been working on bringing it to Cydia. Continue reading →
Google Launches Cube, a Google Maps HTML5 Game
Google is always coming up with fun, quirky things to experiment with on the web. They recently showed off an 8-bit version of Google Maps during April Fool’s Day (which they’re big on), and an even more recent experiment with their search engine turning into a battle between O’s and search results while searching for “Zerg Rush” (it’s a StarCraft tactic). Google had another experiment up their sleeves this weekend when it showed off a new browser-based game called Cube. Continue reading →
Bypass Location-Based Internet Restrictions With Unblock Us
When I moved from the U.S. to Canada 11 years ago, Internet content restrictions weren’t an issue. The Internet wasn’t the multimedia experience it is today, so most sites didn’t even bother geo-blocking. But now everything seems to have to be re-licensed for each country it airs in (don’t even get me started on the stupidity of the process), and it’s become a huge nightmare for services to try keep content the same across the board (say, what happened to NAFTA?).
So, as a result, content in other countries compared to content in the United States is lacking. So what is an expat supposed to do to get the sweet, sweet, rich content offered in the good ol’ USA? Unblock Us is a service that charges $5 a month to give you all the content you want for stateside. Continue reading →
NCSettings Installs Quick Toggles Inside Notification Center [Jailbreak]
![NCSettings Installs Quick Toggles Inside Notification Center [Jailbreak]](http://www.pinglio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/pinglio_ncsettings.png "NCSettings Installs Quick Toggles Inside Notification Center [Jailbreak]")
Ask any jailbreaker why they jailbreak their iPhone, and SBSettings will most likely fall somewhere in their answer. In short, SBSettings allows you to quickly change settings, such as adjusting brightness and toggling WiFi, from anywhere on your iPhone. In fact, it’s such a helpful jailbreak tweak, you may recall we’ve written about it quite a few times.
As iOS progresses, SBSettings seems to be showing its age. Back in the days of iOS 3 and 4, it was the quickest way to change settings, but now that iOS 5 brought us Notification Center, it seems a bit redundant to have two “menus” pull down from the top. Why not just make it easier and combine setting toggles with Notification Center into one menu? That’s exactly what a new tweak called NCSettings aims to do. Continue reading →

Nokia Issues $100 Refund To Lumia 900 Customers
Nokia and Microsoft have teamed up to release its Lumia 900 smartphone this past Sunday. There was much hype about the Windows Phone 7.5 powered phone, but shortly after it made its way into customers’ hands, some began to notice an issue with the phone’s cellular data connectivity not be able to reconnect to AT&T’s network. The issue is triggered by simply restarting the phone or putting it into airplane mode. Just 2 days after the official launch date, Nokia has recognized the glitch and is offering customers a $100 refund. Continue reading →
AT&T Officially Begins Unlocking iPhones
Yesterday marked the day that AT&T, the iPhone’s original carrier since 2007, began unlocking iPhones. Previously, AT&T subscribers were able to have their phones unlocked providing that it wasn’t an iPhone, but that strange policy is now a thing of the past. However, if you’re currently sporting a new iPhone 4S or other model that is still under a 2 year contract, AT&T will not unlock your iPhone. In addition to that, AT&T account holders that are in bad standing with the company also won’t be able to have their iPhone unlocked. Continue reading →
