Has AT&T fallen under the spell of the holiday season? With Thanksgiving almost upon us, could the carrier be taking a moment to think about the millions of subscribers who keep it in business, and deciding to give them a little something extra this year to be thankful for? That's the impression we're getting, at least, upon hearing that AT&T appears to be eliminating the very last of its limitations on the use of FaceTime over cellular connections. You might remember that, when iOS 6 first arrived, AT&T allowed FaceTime over cellular, but only for users on its shared data ...

The Here maps were announced by Nokia last week and we knew to expect an iOS iteration, among others. It appears that the application is now available in the iTunes App Store for both the iPhone and the iPad. When Apple's CEO Tim Cook apologized for the poor experience in iOS 6, he offered some alternatives available in the App Store until Apple's own mapping solutions become what they should have been. Here maps by Nokia is such an alternative mapping solution (now that Google Maps is no longer the default and a new iteration is yet to arrive) and, according to the description, it brings ...

Turn-by-turn voice navigation is a feature in iOS 6 that was not available in all countries at launch. While Apple's own website still says the feature will arrive in Australia this month, it has already been turned on according to recent reports. The feature should have been available in October but according to ex-Apple-manager Scott Forstall, it just wasn't ready in time. If you live in Australia an you are running iOS 6 on your iPhone 5, 4S, and 4, you can now enjoy this feature. Apple is continuously working on improving the map experience in iOS after a rather bumpy start (where the ...

After Apple's shift in management that removes Scott Forstall from the team and puts Sir Jonathan Ive in a leading and directing position for human interfaces, many have wondered what impact will this move have on software. Ive is equally known for his iconic industrial designs in all of Apple's hardware as well as for being a strong voice against the visual representations of real-life things and textures within the software (skeuomorphs in general), according to unnamed past and present Apple employees. According to a still employed designer at Apple who remained unnamed we can be sure ...

If you've seen (or know all about) the iPhone 5 event then you know that Apple's new iTunes version 11 was slated for an October release. There's little to no doubt that today will be the day and the company itself seems to be teasing the next generation all-in-one application. "Get ready for the new iTunes" is the title of the document which doesn't miss the opportunity to let you know that "the arrival of a new version of iTunes presents a good opportunity to spruce up your library for its new surroundings". The new version of the application will not only bring new features but it will ...

It's clear that Maps on iOS 6 is bad. The list of complaints is huge, and the fact that Apple's own CEO, Tim Cook felt a need to apologize is a clear sign that things aren't good. Cook linked to some third-party solutions in his apology, but the apps offered are either paid or simply not as reliable as Google maps. The great thing is that this hasn't stopped developers. We just ran into this neat Google Maps client called ClassicMap that looks almost identical to Maps on iOS 6, but that's powered by Google. Keep in mind that this is a version 1.0 though, so don't expect Street View, ...
