Jailbreaking: it’s just for hackers and folks who want cheap tethering, right? That was certainly my thinking. After all, the arrival of iOS 5 (a mere seven months ago, believe it or not) brought a lot of the features that drove users to jailbreak in the first place, features like folders and a notification screen …

One of the things I love best about my iPhone is that it single-handedly replaces a bevy of other devices. Alarm clock? Gone. Digital camera and camcorder? Gone. Reward cards? Gone. Now I can add one more item to the list: wallet. The Poddities Money Clip for iPhone 4/4S adds a metal clip to the back of your handset, allowing …

My new iPad is going back to the store. I paid $600 for the 32GB Wi-Fi model, and although I like it well enough, I don’t think it’s worth the money. Before the Apple faithful take my head off, allow me to explain — and to note that I’m keeping my original iPad. Also, I have such mad love for …

I love HBO Go. Love it. Having instant, on-demand access to shows like “Deadwood,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Game of Thrones,” and “Extras” is all kinds of awesome. Too bad I can’t enjoy it on the ol’ flat-screen. There’s no HBO Go channel on my Apple TV, and the iOS apps don’t allow video out. Meanwhile, Comcast doesn’t support HBO Go …

I’m no math genius, but I know when I’m being shorted. For example, when I unwrapped my new iPad and checked the settings, it showed a total storage capacity of 28GB — not the 32GB I paid for. Indeed, it says 32GB right on the box. So what happened to that extra 4GB of space? Was my iPad defective? Was …

Can’t get enough “Hunger Games”? Need something to do while you’re in line to buy movie tickets? (The film version opens today, in case you’ve been living underground.) Get ready for some Katniss-inspired app action. The Hunger Games: Girl on Fire for iOS has arrived, and while it may be little more than a “teaser” game (the studio’s words, not …

I’ll be honest: I haven’t flung a bird at a pig in months. When Angry Birds first flew on the scene (way back in 2009!), I couldn’t get enough. But as with most things, the novelty soon wore off. Even Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio were just variations on the same theme, and I eventually stopped paying attention–even …

I love a good game bundle. And the Humble Bundle folks are back with another one that’s just for Android users. Well, sort of–it’s also for Windows, Mac, and Linux users. The Humble Bundle for Android 2 comes with four indie games: Avadon: The Black Fortress, Canabalt, Cogs, and Zen Bound 2. Purchased separately, they’d cost you around $57 (almost–see …

Can’t get enough Mass Effect? That’s understandable–the newly released Mass Effect 3 for PCs and consoles is drawing rave reviews (though not everyone is wild about the ending). If you own an iOS device, most notably a new iPad, here’s good news: Mass Effect: Infiltrator ($6.99) delivers a new chapter in the saga, giving you the chance to fight as …

Did you head out to Wal-Mart last night to score a new iPad at midnight? Now’s the perfect time to stock up on some games to show off that drool-worthy Retina Display. For a limited time, Gameloft is offering some noteworthy iPad games (along with one for Mac) for 99 cents. Regardless of which iPad model you own, these dozen …
