How to send SMS from your Desktop to iphone using DeskSMS

By

Well, this could be interesting – sending and receiving SMS texts to/from your web browser, Gmail and GTalk. ClockworkMod, has recently come up with a jailbreak tweak that lets you do this all through the DeskSMS Cydia tweak.
Anybody who stays at his desktop most of the time, dislikes using his iPhone’s touch screen keyboard much, DeskSMS can be the way to go, where your iPhone acts as the go-between your desktop computer and the SMS sender/receiver.

How to Install and Use DeskSMS

The Cydia hack is rather easy to install but has two steps involved. Even before you can setup the hack, you need to download and install a free app from the iTunes App Store, called Notifo.
Now get an account from the service’s official website, notifo.com.
notifo API Key
Once signed up, you get an API key from Notifo under the Settings tab, which you then use in the DeskSMS Springboard app, while it is assumed that you already have a Google username and password.
That’s it. That simple!
The sending and receiving of the SMSes is direct from your Google account, analogous to the native SMS app of iPhone. So you don’t really have to worry about the intervening or spam at the message’s last part.
It’s interesting that the same DeskSMS solution is also available on the Android Market and is getting pretty famous, though it’s totally okay of ClockworkMod didn’t take the official iTunes route, just like it did for the Android platform. But that’s just to back-check that ClockworkMod guys are authentic devs.
This tweak leaves you away from your phone drastically for the reason that texting and apps, is the greatest time consuming thing that you do on your iPhone! Just before you dive in to implement the tweak on your beloved iPhone, we must tell, or we assume you might already know, that since this is a Cydia tweak, it requires your phone to be jailbroken in the first place. We’ve got all the guides for you lined up; just hit the jailbreaksection to get all the step-by-step tutorials, even if you’re using an iOS 5 beta!
DeskSMS tweak is now available on cydia through the BigBossrepository, free of cost.

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...
