The Wall Street Journal has added more details about the rumored MobileMe revamp that is potentially due this summer.

The new service would give users access to their iTunes libraries from, say an iPhone or iPad, instead of requiring that the devices be synced by cable with a computer and use space to store the More >

A new Cydia tweak that allows iPhone users to get turn-by-turn voice navigation directly from Apple’s native Google Maps app was said to be released recently. This feature is one that was available on Android for quite some time, but iPhone users have had to rely completely on third-party apps, some of which are quite expensive. Services similar to MapQuest also offer turn-by-turn navigation but having the voice navigation feature built in to the phone’s native app is a very nice addition for many users.

As of right now, the tweak is just said to be “coming soon” to the Cydia store. There is More >

Maybe Sony is not happy about having their reader app rejected by Apple and seems to be taking their frustration out on the end users? Perhaps Sony just wants a piece of the of the pie that includes music and apps. Michael More >

Folks over at CultofMac are reporting that Apple’s strategy for the revamp involves acquiring a small company to build its technology into the operating system. But the sources couldn’t identify the targeted firm.

Apple’s pop-up notification system for new text messages, voicemails and the like has often been criticized as one of the weakest parts of the iOS. Notifications are intrusive, modal and often cryptic. It’s a mess.
