Angry Birds may be old news (and frankly, a bit long in the beak) but that doesn’t mean Rovio Mobile is going 100% with their latest hit, “Amazing Alex”, and leaving their original hit in the dust. According to The Next Web, Rovio Mobile will be launching another specially themed Angry Birds game dubbed “Angry Birds Heikki”. The only thing we know at this point is that there is an (obvious) heavy emphasis on racing as well as some kind of...
The popular social networking/discovery app, “Roamz”, that we looked at back in March is coming to Android! Beginning right now, Android users can enjoy finding and sharing (Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare) the world in which they live. The local-specific Roamz iOS app was pretty entertaining for us and think the Android version will no doubt win over a loyal following, too. Besides the great social/local discovery features, we have to give the Roamz team...

Thoughts? Check out Maxwell’s other work on his Dribbble account right over...
Since Apple first picked up Placebase, a mapping company, in 2009, rumors have run wild pointing to the eventual killing of Google Maps. Again in 2010, Apple scooped up another mapping company, Poly9. Finally, again in late 2011, Apple acquired mapping company (this time a 3D mapping company) C3, which (yet) again fueled speculation that Google Maps’ days on iOS were numbered. Today, 9to5Mac...
Upgrade your A5 iOS device to iOS 5.1 or 5.1.1 like a fool *raises hand*? Don’t worry. Even though pod2g’s official iOS 5.1.x jailbreak is still several weeks away, the Dev-Team has come through with a backdoor solution. The latest 0.9.11b1 version of redsn0w can now downgrade the iPad 2 (could before too), iPad 3 and iPhone 4S to previous versions of iOS. All you’ll need, of course, are the respective .ispw files and some backed up SHSH blobs. Call this...
