Multitasking is relative when it comes to each individual’s perspective of how you should do it. Many might have been let-down when they saw Apple’s multitasking function. But now Multifl0w has beautified multitasking on the iPhone, but only through the means of jailbreaking your iPhone. Here’s how it works:

There are plenty of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) apps out there for iOS and Android that’ll snap pictures and then convert the image to text, in most foreign languages. But Pleco brings it a step further by doing it in real time, live! Damn useful when you got yourself a Chinese girlfriend, or is heading China for some business. Pleco can translate text in real time using the live image presented on your phone’s camera display. However, I doubt it’ll work well if the background’s exposure is too low, or the handwriting is awful.

SNAP (Social Network Analyzer for Privacy) by BIT Systems does one thing and one thing only: it looks at your Facebook profile and then “grades you on how visible you are to the outside world.” Of course, you can always just go into Facebook itself and look at your privacy settings, which would save you the steps of downloading an app and using it to login to your account, but at least the thing is free. And it does provide a handy and thorough tutorial on Facebook privacy in general. Hit the source link to take it for a spin. Read more…

Everyone’s been getting into the iPhone business lately. We’ve even seen massage chairs with iPhone apps. Blasphemy! But this Bluetooth Earpiece seemed more reasonable. It is paired with its own Sound ID EarPrint that’s available for iPhone. The app offers enhanced levels of Bluetooth personalization and customization for iPhone users. The Sound ID 510 is also compatible with nearly all Bluetooth-enabled smartphones (2.0 and higher only). The internal advanced Lithium-Polymer battery provides up to 5-hours of talk time, or 135-hours of standby time. The Sound ID 510 is available in both black and white finish, and retails for $129.99, while the Sound ID EarPrint app is free for download to your iPhone.

Well as Apple has promised, here’s the quick update to their iOS’s vulnerability of the PDF loophole. Apple’s just released iOS 4.0.2 for the iPhone and 3.2.2 for the iPad, both of which close the PDF exploit used by JailbreakMe. Bad news for those haven’t jailbreak. Better don’t update your iOS 4 if you still wish to jailbreak your iPhone. Just don’t simply open PDF files if you don’t update it. That appears to be the only change – it’s definitely good news for anyone concerned about iOS’s safety. Hopefully the Dev-Team can find another means to jailbreak the iPhone 4.

I guess you can consider a massage chair to be high tech when it’s able to link itself to an Apple iPhone or iPad. What claimed by the company to be the world’s first such massaging chair capable to link to iOS devices, this AcuTouch 9500 by Human Touch will let you control the intensity of your massage session via a free HT-Connect app on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.  Just to give you more bang for the buck, there are also downloadable massage programs that are individually customized by doctors and sport stars – most of which you’ve probably never heard of, just to compensate you for buying this ridiculous gimmick. But they haven’t thought of how much they wish to scam you with this, yet so there’s no mention of the price. Stay tuned!

Remember when the Frash gave iPad the possibility to view Flash objects? Now it’s here for the iPhone 4, courtesy of Comex. They have successfully compiled Adobe’s latest Flash 10.1 for Frash, and you can easily get `em to run on your iPhone 4. It’s very simple, jailbreak, download the .deb, upload it to Cydia\AutoInstall on your phone via SSH, restart and you’re done. [*Remember that Jailbreaking might brick your iPhone and warranty, so do it on your own risk]

This would surely be seen coming straight up. Previously we’ve seen FaceTime that might be coming in email. And it seemed that Apple’s upcoming iOS 4.1 will have this feature in it. That means we can expect the upcoming iPod Touch to come with iOS 4.1 as default too, in order to have FaceTime running on the front-camera enabled Touch.

Yes, another day another iPod/iPhone speaker docks. But this S715i is from Logitech, not your cheapo China-brand plasticky speaker with a cheap connector to connect to your iPod or iPhone. Now Logitech’s not planning to sell them as some normal speaker dock. They’re persuading you that this thing “sounds like a beast”. Maybe the speaker roars instead of singing. But with 8 custom-designed, laser-tuned speaker drivers that deliver “next generation”, “professionally tuned acoustics” capable of “filling a room” with “bold sound”, I guess it can really roar. Because the brand’s reputable, therefore Logitech’s throwing an extra 8-hour rechargeable battery. But other than that, it’s still a speaker. There’s nothing wrong for you to give out a sceptical face, but for $149.99, this speaker REALLY is not your typical China-brand speaker that bleeds every time you blast Lady Gaga’s song.

Clearwire has dished out a portable 4G emitter; give it a ‘Magic Mouse’ like design, and slapped an ‘I’ prefix in front of its name. Their new 4G i-Spot is an Apple-centric hotspot for all your i-Devices. This thing is also locked, to only work on Apple’s products ONLY. Clearwire explains that “the device is configured to filter based on MAC address which allows it to ID the Apple mobile devices,” which explicitly means iPhones, iPads and iPod touches only. Not sure whether it works with iMac though. This white-soap like 4G hotspot device is yours for ‘only’ $99. What a selfish white-soap! Read more…
