One of my favorite 2D Fighting games of all times, the King Of Fighters series finally makes its way to iPhone / iPod touch and is now available for download in the AppStore named as The King Of Fighters-i. The game features trademark SNK graphics optimized for iOS. You play using a Virtual Pad similar to the one used in Capcom’s Street Fighter IV for iPhone. Best of all, you can pull of a complex combos and special moves by press of a single “Special Button”. Slick eh!

iPod touch + 3G connectivity = iPhone right? Well, it might sound weird at first but if we remove the ability to make phones calls from an iPhone while keeping 3G connectivity exclusively for data, just like an iPad 3G, we might get what Apple is rumored to have planned for the iPod touch 5G. According to AppleSpot.nl, the fifth generation iPod touch will incorporate antennas for 3G / EDGE data connection and a SIM card tray for inserting a data SIM. Frankly speaking, its not a bad idea at all!

The latest jailbreak solution from @Comex aka JailbreakMe 3.0, which also works on iPad 2 running iOS 4.3.3, exploits a vulnerability found in Mobile Safari which forces users to open a malicious PDF file eventually leading to a successful jailbreak. A fix for this exploit has already been issued by @Comex in the form of PDF Patcher 2 (available in Cydia for free), which he highly recommends should be used as soon as you have jailbroken your iOS device using JailbreakMe 3.0.

For those who are not sure what Swype is, it is the “typing” system mostly found on Android devices. Swyping allows users to type faster in many instances, as you don’t need to tap the keys you want. All you do is swype across the keyboard where the letters are that you want to use.

The overhyped Google’s new social network that goes by the name of Google+ is going to make a debut on the iOS with an official Google+ app. Though the browser version of Google+ works just fine but having a native app with features like Push notifications, is always a big plus. Also, an android app of Google+ is already available in the Android Market. We are not sure either its an iPhone, iPod only app or an iPad optimized universal binary, but we’re sure to find out as soon as it hits the App Store probably within this week.

A new springboard enhancement tweak has just hit the Cydia store and is called SBFader. The tweak is developed by Alexandros Melakis and once installed, adds a simple “fade in” effect to the application icons when swiping across the springboard pages. You can also switch off the SBFader from Settings app and also adjust the opacity to which icons fade during the transition. There is also an option to adjust the duration (in seconds) of the fade effect.
