If you're still looking for an all-inclusive way to use Google Voice on your iOS device, we've got some good news for you. It's on the way.

Whether you share your password with your loved ones, or are simply paranoid (you should be), it can be a good idea to monitor who accesses your online accounts. For most of us, the information contained in our Facebook and Gmail accounts can be very personal, and potentially damaging. Not to mention the embarassment of someone posting things on your Facebook wall.

Apple's iPad 2 supply chain is showing yet another sign of improvement today as Apple has begun shipping iPads to international customers.

Steve Jobs gave Apple's engineers quite a challenge when first designing the iPhone. The challenge was for the iPhone to have only a single button. They protested, again and again. Yet, the iPhone was finally brought to market as we know it today. However, as the platforms develops, and our iOS devices have replaced everything from our PSPs to our cameras, it might be time to give up on that limitation, but without compromising the original idea.

There is something incredible about Apple's ability to make ads that you actually want to watch. I've spent hours watching all the Get a Mac ads, with much enjoyment, and while iAds are nowhere near as good, they still deserve some attention. Therefore, it's not surprising that Apple realized the dream of many developers (all of them rejected of course); make an app to showcase iAds.

As our iPads get faster and more powerful, they're also likely to get hotter. Or, at least that seems what Apple is preparing for thanks to a new patent.

We hear from time to time about apps that escaped Apple's approval process by going to Cydia, and selling to jailbroken users. Yet, if you're big company like Toyota, it might not be that simple to pull it off, not to say naive. Following yesterday's various reports about their jailbreak-only campaign on Cydia, Toyota is now pulling the plug on the project, and Apple might just be the reason.

Last summer's hit, "F**k You" by Cee-lo has been covered left and right, in particular by one Gwinnett Paltrow. Many covers and even the US radio version (what a shame), have profoundly disfigured this wonderful song due to puritanism. But, that didn't put off some savvy iPad musicians. Using only iPad apps, they reproduced Cee-lo's hymn.

There's some good news coming from Apple's online stores for those of you still wanting to purchase a shiny new iPad 2. The official shipping delays are slowly returning to normal.

The debacle surrounding Apple's subscription plan is once again making the headlines as a major publisher refuses to play by the rules.

There was Google with Admob, then Apple with iAds, is Cydia the next mobile advertising platform? Toyota is pioneering the movement, and there might be more to come.

We've been waiting for a while for an official untethered iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak solution, and we're hearing that today might just be the day this becomes a reality.

The Rovio guys have yet another reason to celebrate this week with their incredible franchise making history once again.

In an interview this week, Sony's CEO Howard Stringer shared with The Wall Street Journal some interesting details about delays in the production of Sony parts for the next iPhone. By connecting the dots, this has lead the web to find out more about your next iPhone's camera.

Good news for those of you who wish that April Fool's was every day of the year. The Onion, the well known satiric news source, has decided to launch an iPad app of its own on this April 1.

Interesting news coming from the Android front this week. Following a couple of years of battle during which Google came at Apple in every possible way boasting their open-source mobile system, which they claimed was ideologically superior, they're now walking away from it.

Have you heard? Today is World Backup Day! Yes, it's just another lame attempt by the geeks to make their job easier the next time you call them saying you've lost your data and need it badly. Yet, backing up is smart and might eventually save you a lot of trouble and headaches. Don't run away, backing up your iOS device is not the difficult process you probably think it is after all these years dealing with computers. It's just a few clicks away...

While the entire world is struggling to buy an iPad 2 directly from Apple, we all know of one place where anyone can find an iPad 2; eBay. Yet, the online auction site hasn't really become the smuggler's cove we all imagine it to be.

Steve Jobs unveiled, along with the iPad 2, a handy little accessory that allows iPad 2 owners to mirror anything happening on their screen (via HDMI) to a television or projector. Video-out functionality isn't new to iOS. The interesting point is that this accessory works independently of the app currently running, and will function even when the app you're running doesn't support video-out.

On the heels of Amazon launching a new cloud-based digital content delivery service, Apple just published a new post on its Tips & Tricks blog/site, to remind us how Apple and iTunes too, can stream your digital content to your iOS device.

Amazon just beat Apple at providing a true, cloud-based music purchasing and streaming service. Will Apple follow, or will Amazon extend it to iOS? Let's find out what's at play.

In a press release minutes ago, Apple announced to the world that the new Worldwide Developer conference, or WWDC, will be taking place this year from June 6-10 at Moscone West in San Francisco.

We've seen our fair share of humorous videos featuring the very popular Angry Birds. There's been the excellent peace summit, and the birthday cake, not to mention Rovio's own promotional videos, that will undoubtedly bring a smile to any face. We've got another one today, and it will make your Sunday.

Apple has gotten a bit of bad press in the past over their use of liquid contact indicators in their various devices. These little chemical patches allow Apple to know when your device stopped functioning after being in contact with water or exposure to extreme humidity, thereby voiding your warranty. Yet, this might now be a thing of the past.
