iOS is a very quiet operating system. Unlike desktop operating systems, iOS doesn’t make noises when you click on things (or tapping, in the case of iOS) and it doesn’t make noises when error or prompt messages pop up. Some tweaks have been released to try and make iOS a little more fun in the noise aspect by playing noises for when you page through each page on the home screen or when you launch applications.

If random noises aren’t your cup of tea, then a new free jailbreak tweak is available in Cydia starting today, dubbed LaunchSpeak by iOS developer fr0st. LaunchSpeak, as the name implies, speaks when you launch applications. After installing it, you will find a new preferences pane in the Settings application:

LaunchSpeak allows you to input your own text that you want iOS to speak when you launch an application, so the good news is you aren’t restricted to what the developer wants the tweak to speak every time you launch an application. To make the tweak mention the name of the application you are launching, you must include “” in the text input box. Apart from changing the text, you also have the ability to toggle the tweak on and off, which is a good tool to have just in case you are in a location where you need to be quiet and don’t want iOS to be speaking constantly while you use it.
LaunchSpeak will require you to respring or reboot (whichever you prefer) every time you change the text from the text input box. If you don’t then iOS won’t speak your changes to the text until you do. Two things the tweak is missing include the ability to respring directly from the Settings application, which is a problem if you don’t have an easy respring method installed such as SBSettings, and a preferences pane icon. The developer promises both of these things to be present in a future update to LaunchSpeak.

The volume of the voice that speaks the text you input in the Settings application is adjusted with the iPod volume controls. This is important to realize because most of the time, you will be adjusting the ringer volume and not the iPod volume unless you have the option not to control ringer volume with the volume buttons enabled from the Settings application.

The tweak is free, so if you think you will find vocal feedback when launching applications useful, then give it a shot!

On Wednesday, Apple gave developers another updated version of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Developer Preview 3. This, as you know, is the pre-release build of the next major Mac operating system refresh.

The update, or Build 12A206j, is now available for download by registered Mac developers. Although details about the release are still just trickling in, it looks like Apple is telling developers that the MacBook Pro released almost 5 years ago (the mid ’07 models) won’t be compatible with the new build, although a future update will remedy this glitch.

For now, it appears that only minor performance issues (related to Fast User Switching, the Share menu, etc.) still require moderate tweaking by Apple. But, otherwise, there are no major headaches on the horizon.

As of this writing, the rumor mill suggests that Apple is just days away from raising the curtain on its new MacBook Pros at the WWDC in early June. If so, expected the refreshed Macs to come with Mountain Lion pre-installed this summer.

The Taiwan-based publication Liberty Times recently shared some interesting information about the rumored 7.85-inch “iPad Mini.” The publication reported that LG and AU Optronics were certified to supply the LCD panel for the iPad Mini. It even goes on to claim that both manufacturers were working to ship the panels for production and for a release sometime during the latter half of 2012.

Rumors of a smaller sized iPad have been met with skepticism by many, especially in light of comments made by the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs on an earnings conference call in 2010. At the time, Jobs said that the size of smaller form-factor tablets wasn’t “sufficient to create great tablet apps.” According to Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, a 7.85-inch display with the 1,024×768 resolution would be “usable.” Gruber performed an informal test by taking screenshots of an iPad and then viewing them in landscape mode. According to him, “there are a couple of areas where he thinks the text is maybe a little too small, but it’s not ridiculously small.”

Rumors and speculation of the iPad Mini have really ramped up the over the last few months because Apple is said to take on Amazon and other competitors with a smaller 7.85-inch offering priced cheaper for customers looking to enter the tablet market. Many have been skeptical of such a product due to arguments against it which came from the late Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs. According to him, you’d need super-small fingers to navigate smaller tablets.

Despite what everyone says, a 7.85-inch iPad doesn’t seem like it is likely to happen this year, especially with news on part suppliers. We’ll have to wait and see though to see what Apple has in store for everyone.

Facebook keeps releasing new applications all the time. The latest released Facebook app is called Facebook Pages Manager which helps admins manage their Facebook pages more easily and connect with their fans. With this newly released app you can updates the page, add new photos, get a notification whenever there is a new activity as well as viewing page insights!

Of course you could very well manage your Facebook pages through the web UI. But this app will turn this into an enjoyable experience as using this app is very easy thanks to its familiar interface.

Facebook Pages Manager is compatible with the iPhone devices but not the iPad. We do hope that we see an iPad compatible version soon. We’ll have to wait and see.

If you are excited about giving Facebook Pages Manager a try, then the only way you could get it is through the New Zealand App Store where it is available as a free download. The app is not yet available at the App Store in North America. We will tell you as soon as this happens. I am keeping my finger on the pulse so stay tuned.

If you have given Facebook Pages Manager a try, then feel free to share your experience with us by writing in the comments section below. Tell us whether you found it enjoyable and easy to use and whether you would recommend others to download it.

After yesterday’s report that Apple has been ordering 4-inch screens (or larger) for its next generation iPhone, Reuters chips in today Saying the same thing.

Citing sources familiar with the situation, Reuters claim the new iPhone’s screen will be exactly 4-inches from corner to corner. It’s still unknown whether the aspect ratio will stay the same (Apple could possibly fit a 4-inch screen into an iPhone 4/4S’ case), and any other details about the device are absent.

“Early production” of these new screens has begun at Korea’s LG Display Co Ltd, Sharp Corp and Japan Display Inc, sources claim, with full production starting as soon as June, which is traditionally the time when Apple unveils new iPhone versions.

We’ve heard all this back in January, when a Foxconn worker allegedly said that Apple is testing several iPhone screens, all 4-inch or larger.

All of this is, as always, unconfirmed by Apple, and the Cupertino giant has been known to surprise us now and then. Still, when the rumors are this aligned (we don’t remember anyone claiming the new iPhone will not have a larger screen), one has to think that there’s some truth beneath it all.

From its inception to version 4S, Apple’s iPhone has had the same screen size: 3.5 inches. This might change with the next generation of the device, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal.

Citing sources familiar with the matter, the WSJ says Apple has ordered screens from its Asian suppliers measuring “at least 4 inches diagonally.”

No other details about Apple’s upcoming smartphone have been revealed, and Apple has declined to comment.

Android smartphone makers crossed that threshold a while ago, most of them now offering flagship devices with screen sizes well over 4 inches, such as HTC’s 4.7-inch One X. Samsung’s Galaxy S3 goes a step further with a humongous 4.8-inch screen.

Recently, a member of the Verge‘s forums made a convincing case for the 4-inch iPhone, showing how you could fit a 4-inch screen into iPhone 4/4S’s case by changing the aspect ratio.

Apple has stuck to one screen size on its iPad, too. While having the same form factor for all the devices in one product category can be seen as an advantage, the pressure from the competition is mounting.

What do you think: Will Apple finally succumb and offer an iPhone with a bigger screen? Share your opinions in the comments.

Check out the slideshow below for illustrations of what the next iPhone might look like.

A new feature rich iPhone tweak ‘Switchy’ is up for grabs on Cydia Store that conveniently expands the task switcher and creates space to accommodate more application icons. With Switchy installed on your iPhone or iPad, you can include two rows of app icons. After pressing the iPhone home button twice, a new multitasking bar will be invoked with more functionality and buttons to the multitasking bar without losing much space on the iPhone display. As evident in the screenshot below, it adds Artist and Album information to the Now Playing area in addition to a volume slider to the same area.

Based on Brent Caswell’s concept, as demonstrated on TheVerge the developer ‘John Coates’ has added a new button “Clear Apps” into a new page dedicated to settings re-inventing the switcher to a new level. Clear Apps button kills all the open apps in one fell swoop. You can even adjust the display’s brightness, as well as functioning as a shortcut to the Settings app. The fact that it appears to integrate itself seamlessly within the iOS makes it a package of particular importance. The options added to Switchy are simple, intuitive, and exactly the kind of function that Apple will wish to add in its future firmwares. And yes, as quoted by developer – “Switchy makes the task switcher how it should’ve been from the start”.

In order to install Switchy cydia tweak (essentially an advanced App switcher), your iOS device must be running jailbroken iOS 5+. The Switchy jailbreak tweak is under available for download under BigBoss repo. This jailbreak tweak can be downloaded for $1 (required minimum iOS 5). After installing the tweak, reboot your iOS device. No icon will be added to the homescreen or settings available, however.

I have been confirmed by many users that Switchy tweak doesn’t interfere with Zephyr, or Imperium. Take a look at the package, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Couple of days ago, Pod2g announced that iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak will be released within a couple of weeks (in or before May 28th). Pod2g is working actively now to develop a new friendly jailbreak tool to install the jailbreak and inject Cydia on your device smoothly.

Releasing such jailbreak tool is not the sort of thing that can be developed overnight, as the French hacker Pod2g is testing more than 16 different devices. So now let me show you the supported and non-supported devices for the upcoming iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak.

Supported devices (Passed tests successfully):

• iPhone 4S
• iPhone 4
• iPad 3 Wifi
• iPad 2 Wifi
• iPad 1 (3G and Wifi)

Devices Still being tested:

• iPad 3 4G (Global)
• iPad 3 CDMA
• iPad 2 GSM
• iPad 2 CDMA
• iPad 2 Wifi, R2
• iPod Touch 4G
• Apple TV 2G

Not-Supported devices:

• iPhone 3GS
• iPod Touch 3G
• Apple TV 3

Thanks Pod2g, we are waiting eagerly for this day, stay tuned.

Production orders for the iPhone 4S have dipped markedly, according to a new report that is raising questions about how soon the 6th generation iPhone will be introduced to the public.

On Tuesday, analyst Shaw Wu told investors that his supply-chain sources confirm that Apple has dramatically cut iPhone 4S orders by as much as 25% in some instances That’s a big dip when you consider that 35.1 million units were shipped just during this past March quarter.

There’s very little indication, however, that Apple is cutting production due to waning demand. That doesn’t appear to be the case at all. In fact, Wu says demand remains palpably strong. Apple is simply taking one step back in order to take two steps forward in the coming months.

“From our understanding, the reason for the reduction is not demand related but rather due to the upcoming 6th generation iPhone refresh likely in the September-October timeframe,” Wu says. “It appears AAPL is opting to be conservative with its suppliers to factor in a potential 2-quarter pause ahead of the refresh and also to manage inventory.”
