Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier this year we reported on an interesting little gadget called the i-Flashdrive which basically allowed iPhone users to transfer data from their iPhone to the accessory, which can then be transferred to a computer. This was incredibly handy for those who needed a way to transfer files but might not have their Apple cable with them. Now it seems that the folks behind i-Flashdrive are back except this time instead of transferring data from an iPhone to a flash drive, it will allow for the transfer of files between iOS and Android devices!

Basically what PhotoFast did was swap out the USB for a micro USB, allowing it to attach to basically any Android device, but unfortunately it still sports the 30-pin dock connector, meaning that iOS users would need an adapter if they are using newer iOS devices that have the Lightning port. The device will then use an app available for iOS and Android to then transfer files, such as photos and videos, between either device. Unfortunately much like the original i-Flashdrive, the newer model is just as expensive and will cost $170 for the 16GB version, $230 for the 32GB version, and a whopping $330 for the 64GB version. Ouch.

Amazon Cloud Drive Photos app is one of the most widely used apps out there for backing up photos to the company’s cloud servers. Today, an updated version of the app for iOS has been released. The new Cloud Drive Photos iOS app brings native support for iPads as well as support for video uploading. Amazon initially launched this feature on Android over a year and a half ago, iOS users have certainly been waiting for a long time to be allowed to upload their videos to Amazon’s Cloud Drive Photos service.

Native support for the iPad means that both the full-fledged tablet and the iPad mini are now natively compatible with the app, users won’t have to run it in 2x magnified mode. Videos of up to 20 minutes in length can be uploaded, file size is limited to 2GB. While that might not seem much if you are looking to store professional videos in the cloud, the time and size limit is enough to accommodate most personal videos. The app also has an auto-upload feature, which when turned on, will upload the existing content in camera roll to the cloud. The company offers 5GB of free cloud storage to new users, the app itself is available as a free download from the App Store.

After leaving Apple officially at the start of 2013 after what may or may not have been a Maps-related incident for iOS, Scott Forstall hasn’t really appeared on the tech news radar. It’s not as if he’s been in hiding, but he’s certainly not made any late-breaking announcements or hits on the controversy meter for […]

The holiday season is upon us, which means it’s the season of giving which is why Apple has been holding an annual “12 Days of Gifts” promotion for its iOS App Store.

Waking up can be quite a difficult task at hand, especially when you consider how the weather outside seems to be so fine for sleeping in. Many of us use the alarm clock function on our smartphones to help us get out of bed, and without a Snooze function in the alarm clock, life could get pretty tough. Instead of listening to the usual ring or din, how about letting you greet the day with your favorite tunes? The latest update to the Pandora for iOS app would enable you to do so, where after downloading this update from iTunes, you can make use of the built-in alarm clock.

Need additional minutes to lie in bed? Fret not, the snooze bar is there to save the day. Apart from that, there is also a new sleep timer which would allow you to listen to music for a pre-set amount of time prior to the app being turned off. Since some of you do make use of the Pandora app before falling asleep, why not make use of the very same app to wake up? This particular app has been updated visually to match what you see in the iOS 7 environment, too, for a more seamless user experience. [iTunes Link]
