Apple’s Safari for Mac and Windows was one of the first browsers to have a private surfing mode, although Google Chrome has the best implementation of it to date. Apple never put a private browsing mode in Mobile Safari, possible because an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad is intended to be a single user, personal device, hence not needing such a mode. But the truth is, iPod Touch and iPad are actually shared by family members way more than you think.  Read more...

The only missing feature in the YouTube app on iPhone and iPod Touch is the ability to download videos. While it’s understandable that it’s not allowed due to copyright issues, most videos on YouTube aren’t copyrighted. YourTube was first released back in iOS 3.x days. It integrated nicely within the YouTube app and provided the download functionality as if it was there natively. With the release of iOS 4, YourTube didn’t work anymore. YourTube never got updated but instead a new version, YourTube 2 has been released. Now only does it fix some download issues that used to pop up in the first version, it also allows you to add the downloaded videos to the video section in iPod app.  Read more...

TetherMe enables native tethering on iOS 3.x and iOS 4.x iPhones. Native tethering capability is enabled depending on the wish of service providers which isn’t so for unlucky AT&T users.

With the release of iOS 4.0.2, Apple plugged the PDF security flaw that allowed JailbreakMe to do its work and access the device as a root. While it’s not recommended that you upgrade to iOS 4.0.2 if you want to preserve your jailbreak, but if you have, you cam jailbreak iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G (non-MC models) with the latest version of redsn0w by using iOS 4 as the firmware. For other iDevice owners, you’re out of luck so far. Luckily, for iPhone 3GS owners with old bootrom, Kaatej has created a custom PwnageTool bundle.  Read more...
