Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"What if you could ask your iPhone to start your car?"

I think I would jump for joy. Cool concept, and only a month or two after the debut of Siri too. I think this shows a lot of potential for Siri. I'm assuming this is on a jailbroken iPhone but still, it's great to see the experimentation!

"Disappointed that your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S has just one SIM card slot? If you're one the few that answered ‘yes' to that question, then check out the Vooma Peel PG920 - a case for your new iPhone that not only features a backup battery, but also a second SIM card slot."

Well this is cool, but there is a catch, namely that it only works on a jailbroken iPhone. If you want more info, you can head to the Vooma site and register your email for updates. I'm not big on jail breaking, because I will take less capability as long as it is easier for me to use the device. However, they do make it pretty easy now to jailbreak, do any of you have a jailbroken iPhone and if so, how do you like it? This device seems like a pretty good addition if you do.

"Multifl0w is how we feel Apple should have implemented multitasking into iOS in the first place. It works quickly, beautifully, and efficiently on jailbroken iPhones, iPod touches and... iPads!"

If you've jailbroken your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, then this looks pretty cool. I think multitasking works well enough in iOS 4, but this does look a little more elegant, at least when it comes to task switching. I'd be curious to find out, though, if it reduces battery life. The app costs $4.99 in the Cydia store. If you've used it, what has your experience been like? As I said earlier, I'm very curious about how it affects battery life.
