iOS 5.0.1 update hasn’t done much wonders for users for their battery life woes but it has introduced a new bug which messes up the address book for iPhone 4S users on Verizon. What it does is that it removes the contact’s name and shows just their number in the text contact field or when someone calls the user. Basically, it’s as if you just saved a number and not the contact’s name even though that’s not the case.  Read more...

So much has been written on Steve Jobs by long time users and industry veterans – people who loved him and hated him.

I’ve been reading about this issue all over the Internet and if you’ve come here, chances are that you’re suffering from this as well. Ever since the final release of iOS 5, the iPhone 4 battery drains like there’s a leak in it. Sure, I use my phone a lot more than the average person ( I know because people give me the looks which I rarely notice as my eyes are glued to the screen ) but the battery drains the most on standby which is just astonishing!

Facebook has updated their Messenger app for iPhone and iPod Touch with support for iOS 5 and turned it into more of a chat/messaging app hybrid. It was initially just a simple messaging app but has now gained status indicators to show which contacts are online and which are on mobile.

For all those in the dark, or who just forgot, pre-orders for the new iPhone 4S begin tomorrow morning at 12:01 PDT. That is in approximately 1 hour. I am online and waiting to get mine, and so should you. Expect to see some weird activity, as the site will be getting hit hard with lots more people trying to get their phone. If you really want, wait until the morning to do your pre-order. Traffic will have slowed and it will be less frustrating to get your order in.  Read more...
