Consumers can share minutes, but leaked Verizon employee training materials show the same convenience could soon be extended to data plans for cell phone users.

Family plans already allow cellphone users to share an allotment of minutes, but despite talk by all of the big three about shared data plans, the option still isn’t available to consumers. The Verizon training materials, leaked by Engadget ...

Are tons of backgrounded applications annoying you?

If you're a perfectionist that hates when you have several applications running in the background when you put your iPhone or iPod touch to sleep or turn it off, then you will probably like this tweak. It's called WeeKillBackground Pro for NotificationCenter by the same developer that brought us ProTube, Jonas Gessner. It is just what you're looking for if you want a nice and easy way to kill all applications from the background in one tap.

As you ...

There aren't really too many different options.

The iOS lock screen is normally shown with a white slide to unlock knob that has a gray arrow inside of it. But, with a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed ColoredKnob by iOS developer c0d3, you can change that boring color to something different. Exciting; right?!

One thing you might be expecting is the ability to change the knob to just about any color that you please. But, instead ColoredKnob uses the two ...

The iPhone 4S has caused such commotion (legally and illegally) in Hong Kong, that dramatic steps are being taken to nip the problem in the bud.

In the wake of rampant black market iPhone activity and countless incidents of violence in the streets outside of the Apple store in Hong Kong, Apple is immediately moving ahead with a plan to make the the iPhone 4S available in a less frenetic ...

Whether its a lost iPhone prototype in a San Francisco bar or an internal information leak that quickly descends upon the tech blogosphere, there are no shortage of sensitive information exposure risks that Apple has to guard against.

The first line of defense, naturally, is to hire trustworthy employees who will retain confidential information and company secrets. But when you're a company as large ...

To say that Apple's iPhone 4S is a hot commodity in China would be a significant understatement. Two weeks ago, crowds swarmed outside of Beijing's Apple Store to such an exceptional extent that local authorities were called in to control the out-of-control masses.

Apple was subsequently forced to suspend iPhone sales at the stores in Beijing and Shanghai to help keep the peace and prevent ...

Another week, another app sneaks into Apple’s walled garden with a hidden tethering function.

QuasiDisk is just the latest in a long history of applications sneaking into The App Store with either hidden or blatant tethering functions. Unlike the last tethering app “Tether” (the second t was backwards presumably throwing Apple’s app police off) QuasiDisk masquerades as a file management app, and a very poor one at that. The tethering function isn’t an easy toggle ...

Samsung seems to have released another commercial for their Samsung Galaxy S II’s anti-Apple campaign. This one is labeled "Urban Camping" and continues the trend of pointing out features which Apple’s iPhone 4S does not have. In this specific ad, the main feature being flaunted is the 4G speed that the Galaxy S II has that the iPhone 4S does not. Samsung continues to stereotype Apple users as being the “barista” types who are excited about ...

For those of you in the Eurozone or a DVB-T country, the Tizi Go is a tempting mobile television solution

In the U.S. mobile terrestrial television pretty much doesn’t exist. A number of other countries, particularly South Korea and Japan, have enjoyed true live mobile television for a decade. Here in the U.S., until recently, we’ve been stuck with proprietary non-live content solutions (I hate you VCAST). Well, ...
