Corning’s new Gorilla Glass 2 is stronger, slimmer, and better than ever and has demonstrated this live at CES 2012. After having a volunteer break a few different types of glass and unsuccessfully attempt to break the original Gorilla Glass, the host had his assistant show that this 1.0mm piece could withstand at least 121 pounds of pressure (just shy of the breaking point of the glass). You may find this impressive enough, but Corning wowed the audience when a piece of 0.8mm (20% thinner) Gorrilla Glass 2 was also able to withstand 121 pounds. Thin is in – and it’s strong.

If you’ve ever wished your iPhone or iPad could shoot missiles, play the drums, or fly around a helicopter to drop ping-pong balls, then Dream Cheeky’s iPhone and iPad gadgets will bring an immediate smile to your face.

At CES 2012, Dream Cheeky showed us a made a small rocket launcher (it shoots Nerf type missiles) that is controlled by an application on your iOS device, and also can use the gyroscope making it even more fun. Also showcased was a drum pad that allows you to make and play music which was pretty sweet, and unfortunately they didn’t have the helicopter ready to be flown today but if it is half as cool as the others, it will certainly rock.

Zagg SparqCase may just be the dream accessory for everyone complaining about their iPhone battery life since their upgrade to iOS5 or the iPhone 4S. Understanding that people like additional power while on the go Zagg has created the SparqCase, a battery case for the iPhone 4 / iPhone 4S that stands out from the rest for one major reason — it has a removable battery.

Sure, that may not seem all that important, it is already supposed to be an extra battery, who cares if it can be removed, right? Wrong. What if you are going out on a camping trip for a week and won’t have power, or you want to take better advantage of that tethering plan you have without the battery dying so quickly? With the Zagg SparqCase they were able to not only allow for a removable 1700mAh battery to fit in the case, but they also kept the size of the case rather small. The case is not nearly as thick as some of the others, and the ability to purchase an extra 1700mAh battery to keep with you on the go is something that will appeal to many users.

We got a chance to go hands-on with the Zagg SparqCase here at CES 2012, but unfortunately we will have to wait a few months for it to hit the store shelves.

Gorilla Glass 2 won’t say anything about any connection to Apple or Apple products, but live at CES 2012, they’re more than happy to share details of their new, 20% thinner, every bit as strong new Gorilla Glass 2.0. Now 20% may not sound like a big deal but a lot of device weight comes from adding glass components to devices and when you shed off 20% you’re removing not only thickness but weight as well, giving manufacturers the ability to create lighter, thinner products.

It’ll still be a while before devices turn up making use of Gorilla Glass but it’s something to keep in mind the next time you hear a company stake claim to the thinnest, lightest of any product. It could be because of Gorilla Glass 2 and you may never know it!

Jawbone released the JAMBOX last year to widespread — and well deserved — acclaim and they haven’t slowed down since, adding new colors and new features to an already exciting line. The great thing about JAMBOX is simply this — it sounds fantastic. It sounds so good you forget it’s Bluetooth. It sounds so good you double check to make sure it really is Bluetooth.

Live from CES 2010 we talk with Jawbone about the past, present, and future of their highly portable, enormously entertaining JAMBOX.

If your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS is having trouble charging, picking up a signal, or has a dead mic or speaker – replacing the dock assembly should remedy any of these problems. It can also solve issues with an unresponsive home button. A DIY dock assembly repair is an easy enough fix if you’ve got the right tools and about thirty minutes to spare.

Disclaimer: As with any repair, TiPb nor PXLFIX can be held responsible for any damage you may do to your device. It's also worth considering that opening up your device to perform any repair or modification can and will void your Apple warranty. If you don't feel comfortable opening your device, don't. Use extreme care and caution when performing a repair on any device.

What replacing a dock assembly fixes

• Microphone
• Dead speaker
• Charging port
• Wifi and 3G antennas
• Unresponsive home button (This problem can be caused by two issues – the dock connector or digitizer assembly. If replacing the dock connector does not correct the issue, try replacing your digitizer assembly.)

What you need for a DIY dock assembly repair

PXLFIX recommends using only quality and genuine parts from a reputable supplier like eTech Parts. They have quality parts, tools, and much more for all your repair needs.

• A sad iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS
• A replacement dock connector assembly (while the repair is very similar for both 3G and 3GS users, the part is different so make sure you order the correct one for your device)
• A #00 Phillips screwdriver
• A suction cup
• A plastic pry tool or spudger
• A SIM removal tool or paperclip

Power off your iPhone

Before performing any repair, always power off your device before removing any screws or parts.

Remove the dock connector screws

Using your #00 Phillips screwdriver, remove the 2 screws located on each side of the dock connector.

Remove the digitizer & LCD assembly

This part can be a bit tricky so please do this with extreme care so you don’t tear any cables during the process. I highly recommend using the suction cup method unless your screen is cracked above the home button for some reason and you can’t get a proper seal with the suction cup.

Suction cup method (recommended):

The easiest way to remove the digitizer assembly is by using a suction cup.

1. Position the suction cup on the screen directly above the home button.
2. Using your other hand, hold down the frame while gently pulling up on the suction cup.
3. The goal is to get the bottom of the digitizer loose. Do not pull directly up. There are 3 cables attached in the top right of your iPhone. You do not want to tear these. Just pull up until the bottom of the assembly pops out.
4. After you have the bottom up you can remove the suction cup.

Spudger/razor blade method (only use this method as a secondary method):

ONLY use this method if your screen is cracked above the home button. If this is the case, you’ll need to use a razor blade or spudger in order to remove it. And while you’re at it, replace that broken screen!

1. Starting in the bottom left hand corner, insert a plastic spudger and gently pry up. Once the first side is starting to pop up, do the same on the bottom right side.
2. Run your pry tool along the bottom of the device in order to pop up the bottom of the assembly. Take special care around the home button area.

Remove the cables that attach the digitizer assembly to the logic board:

Once you have the bottom of your digitizer assembly popped up we can remove the cables attaching it to the logic board.

1. Gently lift up your digitizer enough to have a clear view of the 3 cables in the top right of your iPhone.

2. With your plastic spudger or pry tool, you’ll need to pry up the first two cables that attach the digitizer and LCD. They should be labeled with orange stickers numbered 1 and 2. Simply pop them off the logic board gently.

3. Underneath these cables you’ll see one other labeled as cable 3. This one is a bit trickier as it is clipped down. You’ll need to gently pop up the clasp holding it into the fastener. It is a tiny white clip. Simply pop it upwards and the number 3 cable should then slide right out.

4. Remove the digitizer & LCD assembly and set it aside.

Remove your SIM card

Using your SIM tool or a paperclip, either works, remove your SIM card and tray from your device.

Unclip cables from the logic board

1. Towards the top left of the logic board, use your pry tool to pop up the two cables labeled 5 and 6.

2. Towards the bottom of the logic board, 3G owners will only see one cable to the left labeled 4. 3GS users will see two cables (one on each side of the dock connector) labeled 4 and 7. 3G users will just pop up the number 4 cable while 3GS owners will need to pop up both the number 4 and 7 cables.

Remove your logic board

1. Remove the 8 screws outlined in the video that hold the logic board in place. One of the screws is under a Do not remove sticker at the bottom right by the dock connector. Obviously you’ll have to remove the sticker to get to it.

2. Make sure you place the screws in an order you will remember. They are different sizes in some instances so you’ll need to make sure you put them back in the correct order.

3. Notice the screw holding the camera in place has a metal bracket underneath it. Just take care not to lose this as you’ll need to put it back during reassembly.

4. Gently pop your camera up with your spudger or pry tool.

5. Insert your pry tool in the space between the dock connector and logic board and gently pry upward to loosen the logic board.
6. Gently grab the bottom of the logic board and slide it out downwards to remove it.

Remove the old dock connector

3G owners

1. Remove the two screws on either side of the bottom of the dock connector.
2. To remove the dock connector gently pull it up and out.
3. Take note of how the brackets for the screws go above the screw holds in the casing. You’ll need to make sure this is how you line up the new dock connector.

3GS owners

1. Remove the two screws on either side of the bottom of the dock connector.
2. Remove the screw underneath the number 4 cable holding the dock connector into the casing.
3. To remove the dock connector gently pull it up and out.
4. Take note of how the brackets for the screws go above the screw holds in the casing. You’ll need to make sure this is how you line up the new dock connector.

And… done!

If you followed all the steps above correctly you should be able to power on your phone and be on your way! Test the dock connector out to make sure it’s fully functional by checking wifi, placing a test call, and attempting to charge it.

iMore’s developer spotlights are like DVD/iTunes Extras for the App Store — a weekly look behind the scenes at the programers and designers that bring you the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad apps and games you love. This week, Leanna talks with Stephen from OfficeTime Software.

What’s your name? Stephen Dodd

What’s your company’s name? OfficeTime Software.

Where are you located? Brighton, UK. Nice party town by the sea. It became famous as where the Prince Regent (and future King of England) came to impress the ladies away from family’s watchful eye. It still seems to be the place for London teenagers to do the same.

We’re actually dispersed all over the place. OfficeTime grew out of a Canadian design agency. Our awesome customer support guy is in Denmark. We get PR and Social Media help from great people in the US and parts of OfficeTime have been developed in Germany and Ireland.

What’s your website address? www.officetime.net

What’s your Twitter name? @OfficeTimeApp

What app do you make?

Back in the Internet boom days, a design agency I was with needed a good time tracking solution. We really didn’t like the feel or functionality of anything on the market. I thought, “How hard could this be?” and thinking I could whip it up in a long weekend, got to work. About a thousand hours later, OfficeTime was born.

The most important thing when developing OfficeTime was to make it easy to use. If it doesn’t just work, people don’t use it and you lose valuable and potentially billable hours.

People are now happily tracking their time and expenses on versions for the Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and syncing it all up in the end.

What apps, other than your own, are currently among your favorites? I’m a sucker for good usability and ergonomics. Zite is a great personalized news feed on the iPad. 1Password does a great job keeping my zillion passwords both safe and accessible. Oh, and Plants Vs Zombies has just such good production values.

How long have you been a developer? OfficeTime was launched in 2003 on the Mac. I dabbled before that.

How long have you been an iOS developer? It’s funny. I started designing OfficeTime for the iPhone even before I had one. When apps were first announced, it was this fun, frantic time figuring out this new environment much like the web in the mid 90′s when everyone was wondering how to optimize gifs and design for this new medium. OfficeTime was unfortunately a long time in development due to some setbacks and a rather obsessive attention to the user experience.

During that time I downloaded every time tracker available on the app store. I mean literally every one. Then we used them and decided what we liked and what we didn’t and used the experience to build something that we hoped would be better. I’m just amazed at how many time tracking apps there are that make you think so hard to do something so simple.

Do you develop for any other platform in addition to iOS? If so, which one(s)? Mac & PC. We’re looking at the Android platform but worried about quality control. Between different versions of Windows, Mac and iOS, there’s already a lot of little things details to attend to. It’s often these little things that frame your app and contribute to it’s perceived quality.

What primary computer setup do you use for your iOS development? A lovely little MacBook Pro connected to a not quite so lovely, not quite so little ViewSonic display.

What iOS device(s) do you personally use most often? iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone 3GS. iPhone 4S.

What mobile devices, other than iOS, do you currently use? None, yet.

What’s your favorite thing about developing for iOS? There’s a good established framework for user interaction. If you’re wondering how to best represent something, chances are there’s an Apple app or another prominent app that may have a good example to build on. This is less well-defined in, say, the Windows environment where it’s cool to cut your own path and develop a unique GUI which can have its disadvantages.

What’s your least favorite thing about developing for iOS? It’s great having an OS with few security problems but it sure would be nice to be able to do a little more. The feature people love most on the Mac & PC versions of OfficeTime is after stepping away from their desktop for a few minutes, they come back to a dialog asking them if they’d like to subtract the time from the timer or even apply it to a different project like the phone call you just took. We’d so love to do this on iOS.

What feature would you most like Apple to add to the iOS 5 SDK? User granted access to the phone logs so we can time your calls. But I don’t see that happening.

What feature would you most like Apple to add to the App Store? The App Store is this huge thing and there’s so much Apple could do with it. Many developers mention app discovery. I’d like to see an improved ratings system that figures out this tough trust issue. If trusted reviewers could be properly weighted, you could factor the app rating into the ranking scheme and dramatically improve the top app lists. Developers really need an ability to respond to user reviews in some way. As it stands, there’s no conversation going on right now. It’s just not very social.

If we were to eavesdrop on you while you were coding, what curse word would we hear you use the most? Great Blistering Barnacles! Oh, wait, that’s Captain Haddock.

I summon my zen and Keep Calm and Code On.

What do you do when you’re not coding iOS apps?

I’d love to just code but these days spend most of my time in all the little things that go into a business. I think the games industry is the classic example of people moving into it so they can be close to what they love and ending up spending their day in Excel.

What should we look for from you next?

Oh, we’ve got such big plans for OfficeTime. We have this huge list of feature requests. People just love to write in. The hardest part is saying no otherwise you end up like Microsoft Word. We won’t put anything in unless we can do it elegantly.

Next up is a revamp of the desktop version with the knowledge we’ve gained from our iOS app. (Sounds suspiciously like what Lion did…)

And, like most people, we hate paying by month and having to use a web-based app to get our team’s billables on the same page. So we’ve got big changes coming to make it even easier for a whole team to track their time across iPhone, iPads and desktops and let their supervisor keep tabs on what’s approaching budget.

Thanks Stephen!

In our 2011 iMore Editors Choice Awards we gave Noteshelf 4.0 the productivity app of the year and today, they went ahead and updated to version 5.0. The list of changes is rather short but it includes some welcome features many folks have been asking for, for quite some time. The full list is below:

• Text input (yes!)
• Tagging
• Page Search
• Twitter & Facebook Integration
• A number of usability improvements across the app

Before you update, it is noted to use some caution and make a backup first, before proceeding but that’s a minor task to get your hands on this awesome update. If you’re not yet a Noteshelf user, make sure you check out some of our previous Noteshelf coverage.  As for the update, it’s available now in the iTunes App Store.

Amazon has launched a new web based Kindle Store designed specifically for the iPad. The new site looks and feels like an actual app rather than a web page however you don't need to install anything to use the store.

Books are laid out in a cover flow arrangement and you can swipe through the books, click on the covers to see more information, read reviews and of course buy a book. If you do make a purchase, the book is automatically sent to your designated reading device. If you can't wait that long, you can even read it within the new Kindle Store web page because Amazon has now made its Cloud Reader compatible with the iPad too. If you have your iPad handy, simply visit  http://www.amazon.com/iPadKindleStore to take a look at the new layout.

Not content with merely making some of the best Bluetooth headsets and wireless speakers in the business, Jawbone expanded their product line this year with the Jawbone UP. A small, light bracelet, you wear it around your wrist and along with an iPhone companion app, it keeps track of how you’re sleeping, how much exercise you’re doing, and what you’re eating.

Live at CES 2012 we talk to Jawbone about the future of UP, the updated they’re pushing out, and why they feel mobile lifestyles encompass more than the traditional product lines.

Belkin has announced a range of home automation devices which will all be controlled by an app on your iPhone or iPad. The new line all come under the Belkin WeMo brand and offer a fully modular home automation solution which can be expanded and added to whenever you like.

Consisting of two initial products, the WeMo Home Control Switch and the WeMo Motion Sensor, WeMo is a customizable, accessible home automation solution designed to simplify home maintenance and bring peace of mind to busy families and individuals on the go. WeMo works with a home's existing electrical system and requires only a Wi-Fi network and free smartphone app to set up and control. Simply plug the WeMo Home Control Switch into any electrical outlet and then plug in any device, such as a lamp, into the WeMo Home Control Switch. Through the free smartphone app, the item then can be turned on or off remotely or scheduled to turn on and off at set times. The second product in the line is the WeMo Motion Sensor, which works with the WeMo Home Control Switch to make your device react to motion. Used together, WeMo can create a home environment that can turn a light on when someone walks in a room, or off when no one is present.

The WeMo Home Control Switch will cost $49.99 and the same switch with an included motion sensor will cost $99.99. Both products should be available in the summer. Belkin are also planning some additional home automation products which will be compatible with WeMo. A baby monitor, garage door opener and a door lock.

It might look like a drop ship but the A.R.Drone 2.0 is really Parrot’s re-invention of the original, show-stealing iPhone and iPad controlled air ship. This one ads a 720p camera to the mix, has the ability to go much higher than the original, and can be kept steady or tilted far more easily.

All of that combines to make the A.R.Drone 2.0 a fairly amazing airborne camera perfect for fly by shots, or just fun and games.

OnLive, better known for its online gaming service has just announced that it will be launching a cloud based Windows 7 experience for iPad users. The OnLive Desktop app will give users access to a Windows desktop experience without the need for any VNC or remote desktop connections. It is all stored in the cloud and accessible from your iPad or a desktop machine.

OnLive has just re-imagined what's possible on iPad with the OnLive Desktop app, available Thursday in the iTunes App Store. Launching a brand-new chapter for OnLive (and everyone), OnLive Desktop gives users instant access to a seamless Windows desktop experience, with full-featured Microsoft Office applications and 2 GB of free cloud storage for secure file access anywhere. Need to edit a Word doc with redlines and comments? No problem. Need to give some oomph to that PowerPoint deck for your meeting? Go for it: present animations and slide transitions, edit diagrams and embed videos. Desperate for a pivot table in Excel? Pivot away … Anything you can do on your office desktop, you will be able to do on your iPad—at home, in your hotel, anywhere.

This is a really great idea for Windows users and offers some much needed functionality, especially for heavy Microsoft Office users. The app will be available for the iPad in the US starting on Thursday January 12^th. The rollout will continue for the iPhone, PC and Mac soon afterwards. The Online Desktop app will be free and include 2GB of cloud storage.

OnLive also plan on offering some more advanced versions of the app too. OnLive Desktop Pro will offer up to 50GB of storage, priority access to apps, full-featured cloud-accelerated browsing and additional PC applications for a subscription of $9.99 a month. OnLive Enterprise will allow complete customization for business and organizations and OnLive collaborative services will offer thousands of users to simultaneously view, control and discuss a shared desktop via voice chat.

9to5 Mac has uncovered what could be Apple’s plan to bring Siri dictation to the iPad once iOS 5.1 is released.

Our own tipster Sonny Dickson was looking through the iOS 5.1 beta 3 settings application on the iPad and discovered a new section in the keyboard menu called "About Privacy and Dictation." When opened, as shown above, the iPad provides the user with the standard legal literature and feature information for Siri Dictation.

They also learned that, although present in the iOS 5.1 beta 3 code, Siri dictation isn’t actually functional on the iPad running the latest beta firmware. This doesn’t deter the possibility of Siri dictation becoming a launch feature for the iPad once it hits the public, however, and would help Apple take the first small step in expanding Siri to other iOS devices.

Indeed, this could be Apple’s presumtive intention on bringing full Siri functionality to the iPad, and possibly the iPod touch further down the road.

Running low on iCloud storage and wondering how to delete old backups to reclaim some space? iCloud offers iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users a fantastic way to secure your personal data in the cloud. It makes everything a breeze if you have to restore a device or set up a new one. Just type in your iCloud details and everything magically appears just how it was before you had the problem. Of course you only get 5GB of free storage, if you need more, you have to pay each month. Whilst this is not a problem for most, if you have multiple devices linked to one iCloud account and no longer use one or more of them, the iCloud backup may be taking up valuable space. Well there is a way to delete individual device backups in iCloud all from your iOS device. Read on and we will show you how.

• Open Settings

• Scroll down to iCloud and tap on it
• Scroll down to the bottom and tap on Storage and Backup

• Here you can see the storage being used and what is available

• Click on Manage Storage

• Here you will see a list of backups being held in iCloud, as you can see I have two iPhones. I had one replaced at the Apple Store last week so no longer need this backup.
• Click on the one you want to remove from iCloud

• Click on Delete Backup

• Click on Turn Off and Delete
• That's it, that backup has now been removed and the space reclaimed in iCloud

Notorious iPhone hacker pod2g has updated the community letting everyone know a jailbreak “dream team” has been assembled to help tackle a sandboxing issue in the Apple A5, a vital part of the exploitation process necessary for an iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak.

@planetbeing, the legendary hacker behind iPhone Linux and lot of jailbreaks has joined the A5 research!

The famous @MuscleNerd, the leader of the iPhone Dev Team, who did a lot of tests for Corona and whom integrated it and made it simple in redsn0w is willing to help also.

And last, but not least @p0sixninja, the leader of the Chronic Dev Team, and my partner for years on iPhone security research has started to code and fuzz the Apple sandbox.

We now have a dream team to find a path for a public release of the A5 jailbreak.

Cross your fingers.

Most of you in the jailbreak community should instantly recognize these names, and the fact that they’re now all together working in unison towards the same goal means an A5 jailbreak shouldn’t be too much further out.
