One of the most wanted features that Apple currently doesn't allow are background processes, or the ability for an app or part of an app to run in the background even after it's been closed or exited. Apple doesn't allow them because they drain battery life, but a lot of cool stuff doesn't work without them. Fortunately, the hacking community has created a temporary solution that could be a great reason to jailbreak that iPhone.

Earlier today, security researcher Aviv Raff publicly revealed two crucial security flaws he had found in the iPhone's software that affect the iPhone's Mail app, both of which pose potential security problems. The first is the obvious fact that the Mail app automatically downloads any images within an email. Doing so refers back to the server it came from when it's downloaded, notifying the sender that it has been opened, proving that the email address ...

In a statement to developers on its website, Apple said they put the NDA in place because the iPhone OS includes proprietary Apple software they wanted to protect. "However, the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers, authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone's success, so we are dropping it for released ...

Filed under: Software, iPhone, iPod touchSummizer (iTunes link) is an app for following trends on Twitter. Similar to a few web apps, it searches Twitter for keywords and allows you to save searches to watch for updates. It's small, simple and elegant. Use it to find out who's talking about what, or even who's talking about you. If you've ever used Twitter's tracking feature (currently disabled), you already know how this works. The startup screen ...

Filed under: Multimedia, Software, Reviews, iPhoneCosmovox by Leisuresonic is an intriguing iPhone app; the kind of app which immediately looks appealing to me. Essentially, it's a theremin hopped up on music-theory steroids. While it does a decent job of emulating first-gen Star Trek sounds -- using the iPhone's accelerometer to translate vertical rotation into pitch with a continuous tone -- it ups the ante with a very complete set of scales: Major, Minor, Harmonic Minor, ...

Rotary dial phones disappeared in the 1970s, but now MildMannered Industries is bringing back the fun with Bakelite 1.0 for iPhone.As the screenshot indicates, Bakelite ...

Instead, it amplifies the sound from the iPhone's speaker using a coiled waveguide (think of an old-fashioned cheerleader megaphone wrapped around into a helix, and you've got the concept). The AirCurve is made of translucent ...
