YouTube Link I got a chance to look at the brand new version of LockInfo a bit early so I've put together my thoughts for you guys to check out while you (im)patiently wait for the public release. For those of you that don't know, LockInfo is a great little jailbreak app that makes up for the poor (read: lack of) notification system Apple has left us with under iOS. I wrote a...

ToDo for iPhone by Appigo has long been one of my favorite productivity apps. I've been desperately waiting to see this app updated mainly with support for local notifications. The fact that you'd have to open the app in order to update the badge was somewhat irritating. It's part of the reason I switched back to Evernote. Not only does ToDo now support local notifications, it's...
The new, 2010 Apple TV is starting to ship. TiPb readers, along with readers of other sites are all getting their notification emails from Apple. We've only seen "prepared to ship" notices, but *MacRumors" is starting to see actual shipment notifications as well. That might be US-only for now, however, as mine and a few others internationally are still seeing "ships in September" on...

TiPb readers are letting us know that they're receiving shipment notifications from Apple for iPod touch 4. Made available for pre-order last Wednesday following Apple's 2010 special music event, iPod touch 4 brings Retina Display (though perhaps without the same IPS panel?), FaceTime, 720p video (though only .7mp stills), and other iPhone 4-like features to its non-phone counterpart....
