Just in case if you haven’t noticed, Apple has finally pushed the iTunes 10.1.2 update for you to know download. If you’re planning on getting the Verizon iPhone 4, go ahead and update now because according to Apple, “iTunes 10.1.2 syncs music, movies, and more with iPhone 4 (CDMA model) and provides a number of important stability and performance improvements.” You can download the new iTunes version here, or update directly from iTunes itself.
If you’re not jailbroken yet, I don’t know what will convince you to jailbreak, however, here’s a shot at it though.
If you’ve ever been wanting a 3D effect for your SpringBoard on your jailbroken (or soon to be) iPhone or iPod Touch, well, look to further thanks to 3DBoard. 3DBoard is an upcoming jailbreak tweak/hack that will add glasses free 3D effect to your iPhone (or iPod Touch) homescreen/Springboard icons and is developed by Apocolipse. As of now, 3DBoadr is not released, however, it will be released in Cydia for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad running iOS 4.x in the near future. If you want to see a video of this in action, you can see one below.
The only down side to this though is that this tweak will cost $4, however, that doesn’t seem terribly bad for a pretty cool tweak.
What do we have here? Some speculation on a dual-core iPhone 5? I think so. And just imagine how awesome that would be to have a dual-core iPhone 5. But anyway, according to the well known Digitimes, they say “the chance is high” for Apple to include a dual core processor for the next generation of the iPhone. This would only seem to make sense seen as how by the time the next generation iPhone is out, dual-core processors will probably be fairly common. With that said, it would then only make sense for Apple to also include that in the iPhone 5, along with a new GPU and more.
Following the history of the Apple A4 processor, the next generation processor will probably first be seen in the iPhone 5 then it will migrate to the iPod Touch 5G and last the 3rd generation iPad. Apple could add a twist to this and instead of the iPad being last to get the Apple A5 processor, it may be the first to get it, then the iPhone 5, after that the iPod Touch 5G. It will be interesting to see what Apple does to the iPod Touch 5G if they will change the deign/outside and include a better rear-facing camera as well.
In the mean time though, PocketFullOfApps will keep you updated everything Apple related that is worth reading and tuning into.
It’s been quite some time since we last covered Gameloft‘s monthly podcast that they now do, but with out further to do, let’s get started. Gameloft‘s 12th podcast includes a number of things like always, however, one the biggest highlights is their new upcoming RPG, Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden, that appears to be a lot alike Zelda. The other game Gameloft highlighted a lot is their already released game, Star Front: Collision. In the mean time though, PocketFullOfApps will keep you updated on their upcoming RPG and here’s the new podcast video:
Well, this is somewhat unexpected — Feral Interactive has just released their well known PS3 and XBOX 360 game, BioShock, onto the Mac App Store for a whopping price of $39.99. While this is a bit surprising, some people are excited but with the hefty price tag compared to $15 on Amazon.com, it has dampened the excitement somewhat. If you just happen to have a Mac and not a PS3 or XBOX 360, then the heft price tag could be worth it.
Welcome to Rapture. A city where opportunity awaits those brave enough to grasp it. A city where the artist need not fear the censor. Where the scientist is not bound by petty morality. Where the great are not held back by the weak.
BioShock – one of the greatest games of all time – is now on the Mac App Store.
Set in an alternate 1960, BioShock places you in the middle of an underwater utopia gone badly wrong. With a provocative and intelligent storyline, this is a game that is alternately beautiful, thrilling, funny, frightening and always involving. An experience that makes you think while you play.

• Replayability – No two gamers will play BioShock the same way. Players are encouraged to explore all the nooks and crannies of Rapture.
• Exquisite sound design – Outstanding voice acting helps drive the narrative. Music from the 1940s and 1950s echoes through Rapture’s abandoned hallways.
