Back in July, we covered an iPhone app called Trimit that allows users to take large chunks of text that they write or import through a link, and shrink it down to fit a social network update. To cut a long story short, the startup secured $250,000 in funding from Hong Kong Billionaire Li Ka Shing, pivoted and relaunched this week asSummly.It's not always easy to read the tiny text displayed on our iOS devices.

Is your iMessage not syncing? Don't worry. Quite a lot of people face this problem – especially those who have come to see that Apple gets things set-up automatically most of the time.
If you have got a new iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch, chances are you will try out the iMessages right out of the box. And chances are, you won't be able tosync the iMessages between the idevices. Here's how to enable iMessaging syncing between iOS devices through simple steps outlined in this post.
First off, this works on the iPhone's iMessages app. Here's the fix you should try:
Macgasm reports that this problem of iMessage not syncing could most probably be something related to Apple's method of using the iPhone phone number instead of your email address used for Apple ID.
The idea behind using the phone numbers for iMessaging looks plain and simple, though. It's obviously a message – only difference being it's free and sent via data network and to another iMessage-running smartphone. So, quite obviousy, phone numbers get involved. However, why this affects syncing is something that skips our purview here.
The tip has however worked for quite a lot of people and has enabled syncing of iMessages between multiple devices.
The Caller ID for iMessage is the one that controls the syncing between different devices. Once you have the Caller ID email set and marked, the iMessage syncing begins to work perfectly.
Generally people don't consider how much data they have used once they start browsing internet from iPhone. But later when they check their data usage they start regretting that they have used excess data and they will have to pay for it. If you also face this problem while browsing through your iPhone or iPad or any iOS devices and you want to avoid it in future then the solution is here. There are many ways of being aware of your data and restricting your data usage. Some of the most preferred and useful ways to take control of 3G data usage on iPhone are mentioned below.
Turning off 3G Cellular data off
By turning off cellular data you lose access over 2G and 3G which means that you can't browse web anymore without enabling it. You can turn off the 3G cellular data by following some simple steps. You just need to go to Settings and click on the option "General". Then proceed by clicking on "Network" and now just tap the switch to toggle it off.
Use DataMan Pro
You can use DataMan Pro to take control of 3G data on iOS devices because this application keeps an eye on data moving in or out. You can make allowance targets of the data in this application and after reaching that target, DataMan Pro will not allow you to browse till mentioned data until you change it in the settings. You just need is to open this application and set up the targets as per your calculation. Though this is the best benefit of using this application, yet there are many other benefits out of which the best benefit is that you can know how much data you have used.
iCloud for documents and data
To take control of 3G data on iPad you can simply turn off the option "Use Cellular" in iCloud. You will not be able to browse web anymore by toggling it off until you change settings in iCloud again.

Apple has been known to focus its music video and most of hte other features around the iTunes app. But there is a snag to it. Though the syncing is quite effortlessly carried out, it's quite difficult to transfer files from iPhone to PC or Mac or to transfer files from iPad to PC or Mac.
Working your way to My Computer or Finder did seem simple previously when the violation of copyright wasn't taken that seriously. However, since the fruit company copied the DRM scrap in its digital content, extracting files has become far more difficult.
Stealing of copyrights has enabled complete browsing of devices as well as data transfer with the help of the third party apps. DiskAid is one such app that enables you to transfer files from your iPhone or iPad or even transfer files from iPod Touch to PC or Mac without much effort.
The updated version of DiskAid boasts of features that make your iDevice management extremely easy while its free version enables the transfering of as many files as you'd like to from your iOS to OS X or windows. Moreover, it even lets you go through Apple's mobile operating system.
Like any other paid version, the DiskAid also offers much more. It enables transfering of text messages, call logs, contact lists, music and videos and providing backup for the same. DiskAid is different from the iTunes as it helps you to select what you want to keep and what you want to remove. So you're the boss here!
Again due to copyright stealing, iDevices can't be used for mass storage. But, DiskAid changes that too. By helping you to be in control by dragging and dropping the files that you like, it helps to get rid of the somewhat tedious USB dongle system.
It is available a click away on the DigiDNA website, the full version being a mere $24.90 which is worth spending for an all-round iPhone, iPad and iPod touch file transfer utility.

Android's surge in popularity has triggered an accompanying surge in malware aimed at the mobile OS, says a new study today from Fortinet.
Analyzing the malware landscape this year, the security vendor tracked a 90 percent jump in Android malware families in 2011 compared with 2010. That figure doesn't account for infection rates or severity, only the rise in malware seeking to infect Android devices.
In comparison, malware directed toward Apple's iOS rose by only 25 percent over last year.
Fortinet pointed to two reasons for the larger bull's eye painted on Android's back.
Google's OS has shown a dramatic increase in market share over the past year, surpassing iOS, Nokia's Symbian, RIM's BlackBerry, and other mobile platforms. A recent Gartner reportpegged Android's share of the global smartphone market at 52.5 percent, followed by Symbian with 16.9 percent and iOS with 15 percent. As the leading smartphone OS, Android has naturally become a bigger target for cybercriminals.
Apple has posted two new job listings for Siri UI engineers. The positions mainly focus on improving Siri's on-screen conversation view, but there also some hints in the job description that suggest Apple is looking to do more with its voice assistant's API.
App Switcher today arrived in the App Store. The $.99 utility makes it easier to quickly launch your top tasks via the app, as well as access them directly from the iOS 5.0 Notification Center.
Created by Pepper Stuff, App Switcher isn't flashy, but it should make your life a little bit easier. And setting it up is quick and pain free. First you'll need to make some adjustments to your iPhone's Settings app. These step-by-step instructions are available here and also within the app.
Now, the real fun begins.
Quick Launch is the location to put important tasks, such as frequently called, emailed, and/or SMS/iMessage contacts and URLs. To do so, click the "+" icon at the top right of the app screen and then select the necessary action. From there, assign the contact.
For example, I need to create a Quick Launch for texting my brother, Chris. To do so, I'll select "+" and then SMS/iMessage. Now, whenever I need to contact him, I'll go into the App Switcher app and select "Text Chris Wolfe."
There is no limit to the number of Quick Launches available.
