Apple’s attempts to expunge as much Google-based products and services as possible took a larger turn back when iPhoto for iOS back in early March. It was then that Apple officially dumped Google Maps mapping data for location based picture information, and in its place using OpenStreetMap’s data.

Heya! My iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 is now untethered — pod2g (@pod2g) May 3, 2012 An official iOS 5.1 unether is a little bit closer today after a new tweet by infamous iOS hacker/jailbreaker, @pod2g. The hacker claims to have an iPhone 4 untether jailbreak up and running. Success! So how soon until you can slap it on your iPhone 4? A while(ish).

As you’ll see in the video below, navigating the new iPad Spotify app is quite…

Ballistic has also outfitted the LS Smooth with interchangeable corner plates to give it that little extra bit of personality. Case colors include: Black, charcoal, hot pink,…
French Designer Antoine Brieux has released some gorgeous concept images of Apple’s newest iPhone. Rocking an A6 quad-core chip and a 10mp camera, we have something I can find myself liking. This is about where it stops for me…Brieux is giving the 6th gen iPhone a 4.5″ screen, which also includes no more physical home button.
