iPad Official Apps

Just yesterday we ran a story about how Nintendo is looking to some of the smaller phone app development teams to help make software for the Wii U. Because the Mario-maker sees such profit in this, I thought I would clue you guys in on why such largely indie development is so darn awesome.

One of the biggest failure of Apple's iOS 6 was unquestionably Apple Maps. It has taken Google a little while to respond to this weakness, but the release of Google Maps on iOS this weekend certainly has a lot of folks buzzing.

There's no denying how great it is to have access to the entire world through the use of the internet. Still for most of us, in order to understand what's being said, it must be typed in our native language. Let Tap to Translate allay your fears free for a limited time!

With services like Spotify and Pandora hogging all of the spotlight when it comes to streaming music and radio, there's little doubt that Apple couldn't at least be thinking about cutting into that financial pie. Thanks to a new report by Bloomberg, that rumor seems to have some traction.

A few weeks ago, a kind iPhone app developer and fan of DashHacks placed a message in my LinkedIn inbox to review their FX Photo Studio app. After sitting with the program for a little bit, here are my impressions on what I liked and disliked about my experience.

If you're one of the many users that likes to take advantage of the Facebook Messenger app, as  of yesterday you now have quite a bit to  be excited about. With a retooled interface and the addition of some new swiping gestures, keeping touch with your friends has never been more intuitive on iOS.

Sure we tend to focus a little bit more on the jailbreak side of things, but if there's one official application that we have all come to know and love it would definitely have to be the Twitter application. That's why it's great news to see a completely new version launching alongside iOS 6.

With the launch of iOS 6, many users of the betas were disappointed to find out that their long loved native YouTube experience had been stripped from their iDevice. However, Google has made good on their promise to allow a solution, and as of today, the official YouTube app is now available in the official App Store.

To keep your attention focused, while the community lies in wait for Apple's big conference, I've decided to give you a little info on the Angry Birds franchise and it's upcoming twist.

While Zynga may have released their own Pokemon clone on to the App Store last week, the effort that drops today has come to us from a developer who is a lot less known than the aforementioned mobile development monster force.

If you're looking to spice up that DashHacks forum avatar, sometimes there can be nothing more hilarious than the right animated GIF. In many instances constructing your own can be an annoying process, but this free official App Store app can have you making animations from your own photos in no time.

If you're looking to get an iPhone 5 as soon as that official launch window opens, the fact is unless your iPhone is right within the upgradable range you'll be paying some kind of fee to make that jump to the next generation. If you have an iPhone 4S that you're willing to part with however, you just might be able to earn enough cash to pay for some of that shiny new tech.

If you're a user of any smartphone or mobile device, you'll  understand that the app is everything, and should be treated with the utmost of importance. Finally, with this new and cheap release on the Cydia store, there is a tweak that understands you by bringing both customization and excitement to the app switching process.

Whether we want to admit it or not, ever since the picture phone became a popular item there have always been times where we want to take a few pics on the sly. Thanks to this new Cydia app, we can make that service a little bit easier for you!

While the thought of a full television set made by Apple has been quite a long-standing rumor for a while now, sources inside the company have recently indicated that the project is now on the backburner. The full story will tell you why!

If you dig the look of the rumored iPhone5 but simply don't have enough money to spring for the full phone upgrade at launch time, iPhone5Mod has a case that might be of interest to you.  Find out more details in the full story!

If you're running the beta version of Windows 8 or developing apps to use the Metro interface and have an iPad laying around, you can go hands on with those apps... with this one. It doesn't require you to jailbreak either.
