Orange has expanded its mission to own your week’s entertainment with a new service called Film To Go offering customers a free iTunes movie rental each week. As with its popular Orange Wednesdays cinema deal, customers just have to text to nab a promotional code.
While the text (FILMTOGO to 85060) costs 35p, the iTunes movie rental itself is free and can be watched on a computer, iOS device or Apple TV. As with standard iTunes movie rentals, your free flick remains valid for 30 days but once you start watching you’ve got 48 hours to finish it. The first film on offer is My Blueberry Nights with The Wrestler following it next week.

Remember the days of purchasing content from iTunes only to later realize you accidentally deleted the files or forgot to back up? According to a report from appadvice.com, Apple is planning to launch its new iTunes Replay service in the coming weeks — a service which will put these fears to rest. Soon you’ll be able to re-download music, movies and TV shows without a call to customer care, any time day or night.
After dropping the biggest iPhone 5 hint so far, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer also managed to ignite more speculation about the future of iTunes during the company’s quarterly earnings call. The Apple exec suggested we could see some major changes in the wake of iCloud.
Oppenheimer’s comment was in response to a query about the availability of movies on iTunes which is dwarfed in the US by Netflix. His response, though understandably limited, has been seized upon by some observers as a clue that iCloud movie streaming could be coming soon…
Apple’s OS X Lion launch and 2011 MacBook Air refresh are not the only major headlines coming out of the Cupertino camp this week. Word on the street is Apple is preparing to release an iPod 3G, complete with a data-only SIM option like the iPad, and the iPhone 5, but without a 4G LTE radio. Here’s why.
One of our favorite features in iOS 5 is iMessage. The iOS-only messaging solution makes text and multimedia messaging between iPhones and iPads as simple as pie. While iPods will also gain this functionality, the inherent limitation of WiFi-only communications makes for a far less compelling solution.
With over 25 million downloads, and a further seven million for the paid version, Cut the Rope is now a worldwide success story to rival Rovio’s Angry Birds. But did you know the gameplay was actually cut from an earlier game? That’s right, it’s the game that very nearly wasn’t.
We had an exclusive chat with the game’s Russian creators – twin brothers Semyon and Efim – to see how it evolved from a demo that, by their own admission, ‘no one liked’.
Read on to discover how they made it happen – and view an exclusive gallery of never-before-seen early sketches.
iOS 5 beta has officially become the iPhone jailbreaking community’s worst nightmare. A post on the Dev-Team Blog has confirmed the latest build prevents both downgrading firmwares and untethered jailbreaks.
Without diving too deep into the technicalities, the LLB and iBoot stages of iOS 5 depend on the authenticity of APTicket. Since APTicket is uniquely generated at each restore (and boot), Apple alone holds the keys to properly sign a pre-restore APTicket. Bottom line: a firmware downgrade or untethered jailbreak with iOS 5 is near impossible.
