iOS 5 turn-by-turn directions implementation, still Google

We had assumed that iOS 5 would have turn-by-turn directions implementation by using someone like Poly9 or Placebase. However, that does not seem to be the case and is said to be sticking with Google for now. This does mean that the search engine giant will still be supplying the maps for the iPhone for another year at least. It is no secret that Apple is a little behind when it comes to offering turn-by-turn directions compared to the likes of Android and Nokia. We all know that Apple is a little slow when it comes to offering support of certain features – the camera being the perfect example of that. However, we now know that they are working hard to improve this, and a rumored 8-megapixel camera on the next iPhone is proof of that. An article on  9to5 Google  suggests that Apple is now in the process in improving their mapping system used on the current iOS, but it will not be Apple based. However, after the purchase of both the companies mentioned above, we know ...

iOS 4 hardware encryption cracked by Russians, data security

ElcomSoft a Russian company has beaten Apple’s iOS 4-hardware encryption; the firm is now offering the software that cracked iOS 4 to military and government agencies. Having this sort of technology is fantastic if the agencies above will receive the crack but we all know that other sources will end up with it, which could cause all sorts of problems. ElcomSoft now have the ability to access everything on your iPhone 4 for example, they can check all the handsets history, text messages, emails, passwords, usernames, call history and even more interesting they can recover data deleted by the user from the device according to  Geek.com The software is now available to buy via  ElcomSoft  that will allow you to extract the encrypted data on a device, this software is called “ElcomSoft Phone Password Breaker” and for the professional edition it only costs £199. For the crack to work you need the iOS device in your possession, does this mean that everyone has to protect their ...

WWDC 2011 iOS 5 expectations: upgrades and improvements

June 6-10 is important to those who not only have a Mac, but an iOS device as well because it is when WWDC 2011 takes place, and will be when our iOS 5 expectations are met. Well we say that, but we have to wait and see what kind of upgrade and improvements will be offered in this latest mobile operating system. We know that one item of discussion will be missing this June, and that is the new iPhone, although we do expect Steve Jobs to give the device a brief mention – maybe we’ll learn if it is to be called the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5? We all have our very own wishlist of features we would most like to see on iOS 5, and we are no different. iOS has been struggling of late to be able to keep up with the constant attack of Android, and one area of weakness is notifications. Apple seems to be too far behind not only Google, but also HP’s webOS and even RIM’s Blackberry OS. It would be stupid to presume that Apple will not address this issue.
