Now that Christmas is over and the New Year is upon us.  Cnet reports that iOS users are up to 5million free app downloads per day.  That number is expected to increase as the results only include up until November of this year.   Full Story

iOS devices also likely came in 1st among mobile activations, beating android by approximately 1.6million activations this holiday season.  I personally was suprised to hear that iOS surpassed android in activations once I learned android surpassed the iPhone this year in market share.  Numbers do not show how many of which iOS device but did include the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.  Numbers also excluded the new Kindle Fire from Amazon.   Full Story

New hack has been released to jailbreak the iOS 5.0.1.  However, developers are expected to soon release software update 5.1 which would likely revert any changes the jailbreak puts in place.   Full Story

Got a new iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac for Christmas?  Need to learn more about the new iCloud and it’s match feature?  Check out what Apple has to say here  or read the Full Cnet Story
