Cydia Hack to play Movies and videos on Iphone

By

After a previous iStartup Sound, that allowed iPhone users to add custom sounds to their smartphone upon restart or respring, now a next step has been taken to allow full startup movies, audio and video to be used.
Vladislav Korotnev has come up with iStartupMovie, a curious tweak that works similar to the audio one, bringing a unique feature to your iPhone’s startup, making it look cool and original.  If you want to enjoy the new tweak, all you have to do is install iStartupMovie and a new app will be present on your Home screen. The app allows you to enable or disable the movies that can be found in the required iStartupMovie directory.

Once the movie is enabled, you have to respring the iPhone in order to showcase the video you have chosen. In case you want to test the app as soon as you install iStartupMovie, there are a couple of pattern films thrown in, to show you how it works. Don’t waste anymore time and try them all!
As suggested by the title, iStartupMovie would allow you to play movies or video clips on your device during startup or respring. Whenever you restart, or shutdown and turn on your iPhone, the video you have chosen will play before the SpringBoard displays on your iPhone.
You can put your .mov or .m4v files under /var/mobile/Library/StartupMovies and use the built-in manager app to select your movie file.
However, as much as we’d love to see this tweak is awesmoe, there is also a draw back with it. Once you have installed it, the respring or reboot time will be increased, depending on the size of the video. But, if you are the patient type and you wouldn’t mind waiting a bit for your iPhone to start, you will probably enjoy the new tweak.

Ipad 2 Accesories

By
Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The  ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard . It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below… ZAGGmate with Keyboard The iPad’s New Best Friend Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet...

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review

By
Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review Skyfire for the iPad made headlines when it was first released, due to its ability to play Flash videos on a device previously void of this popular technology. Users flocked to the App Store, eager to drop five bucks for the chance to view their favorite clips, shows, and movies on their iPad. Not only did the browser play these videos, but the integrated video compression saved a significant amount of bandwidth for people on a restricted data plan. The initial excitement wore off quickly, though, as complaints were rampant about many sites not playing videos as expected. Since its inception Skyfire has certainly improved in this area, now claiming support for over 200,000 websites containing Flash. The dissenters will always be there as not every Flash video on the Web will be playable, even if the developers at Skype Labs remain diligent. Some of the backlash is warranted to a certain extent. If I paid $4.99 with the intent of viewi...
