Synchronicity is a great tweak that we’ve all been waiting for. Are you tired of syncing your iphone with itunes and not being able to use it since you have to wait for it to finish??

Fret no more Synchronicity is here, this cool tweak lets you use your iphone even while syncing with itunes. No more oops i forgot im syncing and canceling it because you want to use your phone or answer that call.

You can purchase Synchronicity from cydia for $2.00. I do warn you to not open your ipod app while using this tweak and syncing your i-device because it may corrupt your music library and we all hate restoring.

Synchronicity Description:

Requires iOS v4.0 or higher.

Use your device while it syncs with iTunes!

Synchronicity gives you the option to use your device during an iTunes sync. Instead of being stuck at the lock screen while you transfer new content, you can unlock, run apps, make calls, etc. You can do whatever you want, except run the Music app, which is disabled during syncs to prevent data corruption.

Synchronicity works on any device with firmware 4.0 or 4.0.1.

Though overall performance is virtually unaffected, you may notice slight lag in certain resource/CPU-intensive operations.

iMovicha lets you IM, make free voice calls and video calls over 3G and/or WiFi and it works on iPhones, Android, Symbian, WinMo devices, Blackberry and Mac /Windows computers. So, if you have an iPhone and 3G/WiFi connectivity , you can IM, voice call/video call your buddy who’s owning an iPhone, an Android, Symbian, WinMo, Blackberry device or a Mac/Windows.

iMovicha key features:

• Video calling
• Voice calling
• IM
• Presence group management
• Contact management
• Preference Management

If you are using an Android based device, you will find the application in the market, but iPhone users will need to jailbreak the device and get the app from Cydia.

Esthetically the app is horrible, over 3G ( this may vary ) the video/audio quality is absolutely unbearable and the desktop clients are not very stable. Non the less, this is a promising start and we hope the developers will continue the development and make this app suitable for an iPhone.

You can find iMovicha in Cydia for free via BigBoss repo…

I got to meet the creators of Angry Birds back at E3 earlier this year, but because of our busy schedules, didn’t get too much of a chance to really talk with them in-depth about their experience on the App Store so far. Fortunately, GamesBeat has done just that, providing a nice profile of Rovio’s Peter Vesterbacka and Mikael Hed, the two Finnish creators of one of the App Store’s most popular titles. They’re actually mobile app veterans — while Angry Birds is their biggest hit as a company, they’ve also developed for lots of other groups, including Real Networks and Electronic Arts.

The game was created to be casual, open to anyone to play, and use some really memorable characters that would resonate with anyone who picked it up. They accomplished those goals — the game has found a surprising following around the world, and almost everyone who owns an iPhone recognizes the birds and pigs characters. A US$4.99 iPad version has also taken off, and Rovio plans to bring the app to lots of other mobile devices as well. The growth has been entirely organic, too — they haven’t spent a single cent on advertising the game, instead relying completely on word-of-mouth and Apple’s own promotional tools.

And while their success is already quite widespread, the two say their goals are even bigger than what they’ve accomplished so far: they hope to eventually see 100 million paid downloads. Definitely possible — it’s interesting to see how iPhone-created brands are growing so quickly.

Dissident from Hackulous explains the reasoning behind cracked iOS applications and their effect on application developers in a guest article on TorrentFreak.

You can head over to TorrentFreak to read the entire article or read some highlights below…

In 2008, Apple unveiled the App Store, a virtual marketplace for developers to sell their applications via an Apple-controlled channel. Since the beginning, one of the key missing features of this store has been a trial service, or even a refund policy. Considering that many competitor products have had these policies for years, some would expect them to be unquestionably employed by Apple, yet two years later in 2010 people are still being swindled by sub-quality applications. The iPhone “cracked app scene” started from the idea of people being able to trial apps before sinking their money into them; an especially useful and welcome exercise considering that such a large number of apps on Apple’s App Store are pointless, underdeveloped, overpriced, and with deceptive descriptions to boot.

Dissident presents four important details that “demonstrate that Hackulous’ brand of activity is not causing as much damage as the Dev Team and everyone else may think”.

1. Most of the pirates who use our services do so because they simply cannot afford to purchase the applications. One of the prominent members of the Dev Team, planetbeing, described the pirates who use our software as “predominantly in their early teens where money is scarce and time is abundant.” Since these users have never had any intention or capability to purchase the applications whether or not cracked versions are available, developers of these apps are losing significantly less than what they believe they are to these people.

2. Another portion of our pirates are those who have the capability of purchasing iPhone apps, but not the desire. These pirates typically do not “need” any particular application for free, they just want whatever application that can provide a certain level of entertainment for them. They are not so much making the choice between purchasing or pirating software A, but rather making the choice between pirating software A or B. So again, the profit lost attributed to this tribe of pirates has been overestimated; these pirates would not have forked over their money anyway, they would just move on.

3. Over three million devices are running our software, Installous, to download and install cracked iPhone apps. The people using these devices are Apple customers who are likely to purchase another device, purchase new Apple products, or refer their friends to Apple. As I have stated before, the people who use our services to trial iPhone applications actually help Apple more than they hurt it….

4. Piracy also helps to expose an application to the masses, much like music piracy helps artists and bands get more publicity. Without cracked app sites like apptrackr, a lot of applications would be left languishing in the pits of the App Store among the rest of the 240,984 apps (at last count) available. Only the top 100 free and paid apps and the top 10 free and paid apps in each of the 20 genres, summing up to 600 apps, get any considerable notice. A large number of apps only get to enjoy recognition from the people within the developers’ circle of influence. When they are placed on apptrackr, however, they are exposed to an extensive audience which make up millions of unique visitors a month….

Let us know in the comments what you think of his arguments. Are cracked apps a legitimate way of trialing an application?

Mitube is a new app in the Appstore that allows you to stream and download youtube videos directly to your i-device. Yes you read it right, download youtube videos on your i-devices to watch over and over again without having to use anymore data and wait those long times for it to buffer.

This app is great but there is one small flaw, you have to search for specific videos and you get no preview/ cool front page like Apples youtube.app. A lot of you may remember this app formerly known as mxtube which was only available to jailbroken users.
