ipad1 Facebook iPhone app also has iPad version embedded inside, simple jailbreak needed to expose it

 

Facebook iPhone app is consistently in Apple list of the top 25 free applications download, and for good reason too. The social network has over 750 million active users, there are push enabled notifications so you do not miss a thing, and who would not want to check up on their friends when there is a few minutes to kill? Oddly enough however, there has not been an iPad version of Facebook app, and people have been speculating if thats because the company was pushing to make a browser optimized version that all mobile devices, tablets too, could use. Looks like that theory can now be thrown out the window since Marvin Bernal, a self proclaimed iOS Enthusiast who is studying computer engineering in Canada, discovered that the new version of Facebook (3.4.4) can be modified using a jailbroken iPad to enable the iPad version of the application. For full instructions on how to do this, check out this post on The Next Web, and for a comprehensive gallery of the iPad app.

 

Now if you are wondering how Facebook can put both the iPad and iPhone version in the same file, its mostly got to do with the way Apple handles apps in the App Store. Instead of releasing multiple versions of an application, one for iPad, one for iPhone, all apps are universal. You download one file and depending on which device you access it on, you get the right version. Google recently decided to do the same thing, seeing as how some developers are writing applications to take advantage of dual core devices, and to distribute them they would have to litter the Android Market with multiple versions of what was essentially the same app.

gsmarena 001 Check out the Angry Birds Summer Pignic cinematic trailer   epicness all over


The Angry Birds Seasons episode Summer Pignic got its final level unlocked yesterday and if you’re already feeling sad to see it end you can watch this cool trailer made for the episode by creator RovioMobile.


The video shows the typical birds-vs-pigs battleground situation, a slingshot and the eggs being held hostage. It looks as though the pigs will prevail until the boomerang bird swoops in to save the eggs seconds before its too late.

Amazon mp3

 

Amazon has updated its Amazon MP3 app for Android to fix several of the bugs users have reported. Most notably, Automatic Downloads now will not download previous purchases, which is a real time and bandwidth saver. Not sure why this was not the case before, but its a good thing Amazon listens to its customers to make sure its mobile apps get better with the time. Here is the full change log:

 

  • Automatic Downloads now will not download previous purchases, only new
  • Fixed bug causing skips in streamed music
  • Latest Purchases & Latest Uploads playlists updated to match Cloud Player for Web
  • Fixed instability with large download queues
  • Fixed lock-screen display on Honeycomb

Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY has just got a nice FPS exclusive among the rest of the droids. EA has launched Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for Xperia PLAY via its dedicated game store.


The game has been released for the iOS gadgets since the last December and its price there has been varying between €0.79 and €2.39. Unfortunately, the Xperia PLAY Android exclusive (for now) costs £5. But the gameplay should be much more interesting using the PLAY hardware controls.

The Viber application that won the hearts of over 12 million iOS users has now landed on the Android Market, doing just about everyone involved a favor. Android users now have another way to make free calls and send free messages, iOS users can do that with a lot larger portion of their contact list and Viber gets more users. And now that we had a day or so to play with the app we bring you our take on it.


To get started with Viber you need to go to the Android Market from either you phone or your desktop browser and install the free app. You then go through a quick activation process, where you enter your phone number and then wait for an SMS to arrive, containing your activation code.

 

Unfortunately, the activation process can be bumpy as some users report not getting the return SMS. The alternative solutions, described by the dev team do not work either on those rare occasions so the few unlucky guys, including Vince from our team, will be left out of the Viber fun for now. Anyway, once you are done with the activation, you are ready to start calling and being called as long as you are connected to a data-carrying network of some kind (2G, 3G and Wi-Fi will all do). The app automatically searches your contact list for people, who are already using Viber and lists them so you can easily find them.
