IntelliScreenX Updated With Full Support For iOS 5.1 – Download Now

Advertisements

IntelliScreenX has been described by a lot of people as a good enough reason alone to jailbreak the iPhone, with some believing that Apple should adopt the ideas shown by Intelliborn and build them into future revisions of iOS. The commercial modification, which sits at home on the device’s lockscreen and integrates seamlessly into iOS provides a huge array of functionality which justifies the $9.99 price tag attached to it.

One of the highest compliments paid to IntelliScreenX is that it looks and fits so perfectly into the iOS setup that it could have been designed and created by Apple engineers themselves. The advanced features and extended configurations makes it suitable for users who want bare bone information displayed as well as those who want to use every aspect of the tweak and pull in information from every service on their device.

IntelliScreenX features a configurable email setup which allows users mark a message as read, delete the mail or open it directly through the Mail application. Users can also view their Facebook and Twitter timelines as well as interact with their friends and followers which makes it a powerful social hub right on the lockscreen. IntelliScreenX also benefits from an embedded, advanced RSS reader which pulls in feeds from a Google Reader account and has a number of popular feeds built right in as standard. As you may expect from an intelligent application such as this, the default iOS Calendar is also included, as well as built in support for SMS composition and reply, and compatibility with Notification Center.

Additional support and features seem to be added with every update of IntelliScreenX, and the latest few versions have been no different. The last update in February brought some fixes for Bluetooth and Facebook issues as well enhancements to the built-in Messages+ functions. The latest update has been pushed today, taking IntelliScreenX to version 1.3.6 and brings total compatibility for iOS 5.1, released by Apple only six days ago. At the moment, it’s unlikely that many users have taken the plunge and upgraded to iOS 5.1, considering the lack of an untethered jailbreak, but the quick support and action by Intelliborn means that when the development teams do produce a untethered iOS 5.1 jailbreak, the IntelliScreenX compatibility is already complete.

Of course, you will need to jailbreak your device to install this tweak. For jailbreaking the latest iOS 5.1 (tethered), follow the instructions posted here to jailbreak using Redsn0w, or here for Sn0wbreeze. For jailbreaking iPhone 4S and iPad 2, you can simply follow our step by step tutorial posted here to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 using Absinthe on Windows or Mac. Those of you with an iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1, and iPod touches can use Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze to untether jailbreak on iOS 5.0.1.

Apple To Release 15-Inch MacBook Air With Ivy Bridge Chip Next Month [REPORT]

Advertisements

It’s a subject we’ve touched on a few times over the last couple of months, and now the hype surrounding the rumors of the iPad 3 have been somewhat satisfied, the tech world can switch its attentions to other potential Apple releases – namely a 15-inch MacBook Air.

The Air – particularly in its current form factor, has become one of the Cupertino company’s most celebrated products, and with PC makers trying very hard to emulate the wafer-thin design with Ultrabooks, it’s not altogether difficult to see why.

While there has been much talk of the MacBook Pro range being subject do a design overhaul in the image of the Air, spectators have also toyed with the idea of the compacter of the two notebooks adding a third wheel to the current 11 and 13 inch models available.

Electric Pig reckons an "anonymous vendor" at a UK accessories expo in London stated earlier this week that a new size Air would be arriving in a "shakeup [that] will happen in April".

Whilst the MacBook Pro remains vastly superior in terms of specs, Apple has packed in some impressive hardware into the slimmest of designs with the Air, and it wouldn’t exactly be an illogical step to add a 15-inch model to proceedings. Furthermore, it has been reported on numerous occasions that a new Air could capitalize on Intel’s new Ivy Bridge processors, although the chip maker has been somewhat slow in producing them. Still, if a sufficient number can be made, Apple would likely draw favoritism from Intel, which would in turn give the fruit company an edge over competitors.

Unlike the iPhone and iPad, which tend to arrive around the same time each year, Tim Cook’s company doesn’t have a set season for a MacBook Air launch. The first model arrived in January 2008, and was minorly updated later that year. The third installment didn’t arrive until October 2010, although it was worth the wait since that was the point where the design got its current, uber-sleek aesthetics.

The last update was in July of last year, which renders the next release anybody’s guess. Whatever the case, if Apple does manage to pull off its first batch of Ivy Bridge, 15" units by next month, the response of consumers is likely to be as keen as ever.

$399 iPad 2 + Feature-Packed New iPad Will Render Apple Completely Untouchable [Opinion]

Advertisements

Ever since that media event on Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, consumers, bloggers, analysts – in fact everybody in and around the greater gadget-sphere has been talking about Apple’s "new iPad" with scarcely any relent.

Understandably so, though. After all, its feature list is exceptional, and finally implements some of that delicious new hardware we’ve craved and pined for. The long overdue introduction of the Retina display is just the icing on the cake – a cake which packs in quad-core graphics, an iSmart camera, and, of course, 4G LTE compatibility. None of these new features would be of any use, though, if the battery didn’t have the endurance, but the new juice pack has increased in capacity by 70%. This means that, theoretically, the battery performance should be on par with that of its predecessor, although we’re rather cautious when assuming battery performance – especially when we’re dealing with a company still haunted by the iPhone 4S battery woes.

Amid all the excitement, the announcement that the iPad 2 would be dropping $100 was almost cast aside. Although the "new iPad" is wonderful, lest we forget that the iPad 2 has been the Dean of the tablet market for the last year, showing a clean pair of heels to rivaling efforts.

Now, one of the key advantages Android tablets have over iPad is that they’re invariably cheaper. For those unwilling to spend big, the likes of the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 have always been a great failsafe for consumers, giving tablets running Google’s mobile OS a place in the Apple-dominated market.

With $100 knocked off the price of an already untouchable device, not only will Apple certainly have two generations of devices perched at the summit of every tablet-based numbers count-up, but the lower price point almost removes the floor from below the chasing pack. How are the likes of Samsung going to be able to trouble the new iPad when the elusive, Road Runner that was the iPad 2 is now even more of a favorable prospect to a consumer?

I don’t have the answers, and judging by the lopsided market shares of Apple vs everybody else, none of the main manufacturers seem to have the formula either.

What can they do to halt the Apple juggernaut? Is it even halt-able? Leave your thoughts on our G+ or Facebook pages – we’d love to hear them!
