Built-in media player in the iOS while easy to use and quite intuitive is limited in functionality, and more importantly doesn’t support many of the well known video formats that we used to face on the Internet. For example, it will not play flv, mkv, wmv files among many others unless the user converts the videos to an iPhone compatible format using a video conversion tool. That can be quite a headache if you ask me. Enter the Azul Media Player for the iPhone (or any other iDevice) that allows ...

YoutubeToMp3 is a free Cydia app that can be very useful for many iDevice users out there that use their device extensively for the music listening purposes. As you know currently YouTube is THE largest repository of all kinds of music (or for any other kind of videos for that matter). You can find almost any song you want on the YouTube. Only problem is that these are video songs usually in flv or mp4 format. On the iDevice many users are more interested to listen to the audio (mp3) songs and even ...

So, that’s impressive (if it is indeed true). I haven’t checked out this app personally but looks ...

Traditionally iPhone 3GS video recording capability is limited to VGA 640×480 resolution, although 5.0 MP image sensor installed on the iPhone 3GS supports much higher capability. 720p high definition recording is something that is reserved for the newer generation iPhone 4. Thanks to a clever hack it is actually possible to enable HD recording on the iPhone 3GS. I am sure some you might be thinking that is not something new because this tweak has been known for quite some time. However, the ...

Here is a nice video tutorial that I came across through the XDA blog. It explains the process of how to make a Nandroid Backup on your Android based device. For those who don’t know Nandroid Backup is simply a backup of your phone’s NAND memory state to the SD card, so that in case something bad happens you can go back to the working state. For the Android modders out there it might be a trivial process on how to do a Nandroid Backup. So this tutorial is more aimed on the beginners I think. ...

Jailbreaking community for the iDevices has grown substantially in the recent times as more and more people are getting familiar with the procedure as well as with all the advantages that they can get with it. But there are many people that are not very familiar with what it is or what are the exact benefits. For those users a nice explanation in a video by the Cydia creator Jay Freeman himself could be more convincing and useful on the benefits associated with this process of JB. I will not ruin ...

Despite all the advances and incremental improvements in terms of new functionality/features in Windows 7 as compared to the previous versions, there are still some features completely ignored by Microsoft which might be very useful for some users. Take an example of the Screensaver, apparently as I can see there is no way to set any video of your liking to be screensaver. This feature could be very interesting for some Windows users.
