Vimeo, the video site that seems like it's meant to perpetually stand in YouTube's shadow, has released its first application for iOS today. In short, the app brings the full Vimeo experience to your mobile device -- with a decent video editor thrown in for good measure. Vimeo for iOS lets you watch, upload, manage, and edit videos. You can watch your previously uploaded videos and easily ...

When the iOS 4.3 beta emerged it included 4-and-5-finger gestures for the iPad, such as pinching to return to the home screen, and swiping to reveal the multitasking tray or switch apps. Just one week later, Apple said that iPad gestures wouldn't make the cut, and indeed, iOS 4.3 was summarily released without gestures for the iPad and recently-released iPad 2. Don't despair, however: they can ...

Redmond Pie, a blog that seems to resolutely have given up on its Microsoft roots, has published a guide on jailbreaking iOS 4.3 on Windows with Sn0wbreeze 2.3. It should work with the iPhone 4 and 3GS, iPad and iPod touch. We don't have any personal experience with Sn0wbreeze here at Download Squad, but the process seems easy enough. Like the PwnageTool Mac jailbreak of iOS 4.3, this is a ...

iOS 4.3 is now available. To install it, connect your iPhone or iPad to your PC, open iTunes, and click "Check for updates." This new release brings a bunch of new features, including connection sharing with Personal Hotspot, AirPlay media streaming, and faster JavaScript performance in the mobile Safari browser. While it's installing, be sure to check our extensive guide to all of iOS 4.3's ...

Mere hours after the release of the iOS 4.3 golden master to developers, Redmond Pie has compiled a guide to jailbreak the new version with a combination of PwnageTool and Universal Ramdisk Fixer. It's definitely not a one-click jailbreak, however, and it's still tethered at this stage -- you'll have to re-jailbreak every time you reboot -- but it's a promising indicator that a proper ...

Slingplayer Mobile for iPhone and iPod touch has reached version 2.0 today, and with it come a couple of features that had previously been seen only in the iPad app: high(er) quality video is in, as is a revamped program guide. Streaming requires an internet connection with a speed of at least 800 kbps over Wi-Fi or 500 kbps over 3G. To actually be able to watch anything in HQ, you have to have ...

Apple is going to release iOS 4.2 on Friday, November 12, at 10 AM PST, according to what a source within AT&T has told MacStories. iOS 4.2 represents a major update of Apple's operating system for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad and will finally get them all on the same version of the OS. It will also make multitasking possible on the iPad. The update was reportedly scheduled to go live ...

Yahoo launched its Messenger app with video calling for the iPhone a couple of weeks ago. It sadly omitted support for the forward facing camera that's available on the latest generation iPod touch. But all is not lost, touch fans -- Yahoo has just updated the app and corrected that oversight. Yahoo! Messenger for iOS now supports two-way video calling on the fourth generation iPod touch, matching ...

Google has recently pushed out some updates to its HTML5-powered Gmail Web app for iOS, which blur the lines between Web and native apps even more. The first improvement is speedier scrolling; it now matches the pace with which you flick your finger. It's a nice touch that makes it easier to get through long lists or bloated emails. Scrolling speed is backed up with persistent tool bars, rather ...

There was once a time when FaceTime was the only iPhone 4 video calling gig in town. Fring entered the ring first, but now Yahoo has joined the video calling party, with an update to their Yahoo! Messenger app. Unlike Apple's current implementation of FaceTime, Messenger allows you to video call over both Wi-Fi and 3G, but if that wasn't enough, you're no longer limited to iPhone-to-iPhone ...

Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger app for iPhone has just received an update, and it's a fairly significant one. If you've used Live's social connector to hook up to your Facebook account, you can now chat with friends who are signed in to Facebook chat via Live Messenger. Right now, however, the feature is only available in six countries: the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Brazil, and Russia. ...

I remember when you could use Skype on your iPhone, but it couldn't run in the background, which made it useless for taking incoming calls. Well, that was yesterday. In the brave new multitasking world of iOS 4, the latest version of Skype can now run in the background, and incoming calls are no problem. You can just leave Skype going, and you'll get a ring and a push notification when a call ...

Apple's iOS 4.0.1 has arrived -- along with 3.2.1 for iPads -- and the big buzz is about a change in the way "bars" of signal strength are displayed. iOS 4.0.1 "Improves the formula to determine how many bars of signal strength to display," but the 378MB update doesn't have any other specific info in the release notes. Apart from changing how many bars to show, Apple has also messed with ...

The biggest story around the iPhone 4 launch hasn't been about the phone's awesome new features, it's been about the flaky reception when it's held wrong. A left-handed grip on the phone messes with the baseband antenna, and users are ticked off. Steve Jobs, in typical Jobsian style, has responded with "just avoid holding it that way." Well, Apple might have a better response than that: a software ...

Twitter's official iPhone app -- formerly known as Tweetie -- has updated to support multitasking in iOS 4. That makes it one of the first apps to enable the new fast app switching feature, which allows you to jump between Twitter and other multitasking-enabled apps without having to return to the home screen. Twitter has beaten Facebook and others to the punch on this feature, which is a ...
