Stop staring at emails you can't deal with now using Mailbox.

In this episode, Andy and Sean take a look at the new products recently released by Apple. They start by taking a look at the new improvements packed into the iPhone 4S and showcase some of the features of iOS 5.

The way that iOS handled notifications was somewhat obtrusive and upset a large number of users. With iOS 5 users can choose how they get notifications, what applications can issue notification and more. The

new Notification Center

is helpful for staying on track of these alerts and can also be customized so that it always has the information you need when you need it.

Those who need a little extra help keeping up with their tasks should be pleased with the addition of

Reminders in iOS 5

. This application allows you to set reminders up for the things you need to do, complete with alerts to make sure you don't forget what's important. You can even have these alerts set to go off either by time or, using GPS, by location.

In this episode we're going to show you the

iMessage application

that's been introduced in iOS 5. This improved messaging app shares some features with the ever-popular BBM, the BlackBerry messaging app, in that it can send messages over data, it shows when messages have been successfully delivered and shows when a contact is responding to your message.

Apple's newest version of iOS, iOS 5, is going to be the last of the

updates to your iPhone

, iPad or iPod touch that you have to install using a computer. With that being said, this episode is going to focus on how to install the update to your iOS device, back up your information and content, and go through the initial set up and configuration process.

In this episode, we show you some of the

features and improvements to iOS

that have been introduced with iOS 5. While the user interface remains largely the same, there are several major improvements including the way devices handle notifications, through the Notification Center, how Apple devices allow you to communicate, through iMessage, and much more.

You're the maker of the number one mobile game going. What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?!? You license. Gear4 has the exclusive license for Angry Birds cases so if you're looking for an Angry Birds case for your iPhone 4, iPod Touch or iPad 2, these are the guys you'll be doing business with. Fortunately, as we found out at ShowStoppers, they're decent people.

At ShowStoppers leading up to CTIA 2011, we learned about UnityRemote. While we haven't had a chance to test it out, the concept sounds solid and intriguing. Using your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, UnityRemote figures out your whole home theater set up and replaces the remote clutter. The little IR transmitter sends out IR 360 degrees so no matter where your devices are, they're in the line of sight. It connects to your iDevice (coming soon to Android) via Bluetooth and offers all the customization options you'd expect in an iOS app.

Apple has released iOS 4.2, a software update for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. This update brings some new features to all the platforms like AirPrint, AirPlay, a free way to find your device, and more. Perhaps the most awaited feature;

multitasking on the iPad

. Stay tuned for our How Do I? series on installing and using the iOS 4.2 update on the iPad.

In this bonus episode, we show you how to set up your

iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch

as your

AppleTV remote

. It's a simple process that requires you to download the

Remote application

to your mobile device and log on with your

Apple ID

. We'll show you how in this episode.

PopCap makes some of the best mobile games going. The company keeps the hits coming with these three awesome iPhone / iPod Touch games. Two are re-makes of PopCap greats Bejeweled 2 and Bookworm. Peggle, is much newer and a perfect fit for the iPhone / iPod Touch's hardware.

Where other digital audio players come with a built-in microphone for

recording quick voice memos or to save a college lecture

for posterity (and subsequent sharing with friends who couldn't seem to separate head from pillow that morning), the iPod offers no such perk. Enter the RapCap. This tiny little microphone plugs into the headphone port of compatible iPods, or even the iPhone, and lets you

record audio to your iPod

, including the iPod Touch. These recordings can be pulled from your iPod easily via iTunes. Not bad for $15.

Now that the hype surrounding

iPhone 3.0

software has abated somewhat, Jay Goldman, AKA Mr. Mobile takes a look at

iPhone 3.0 software

and what it means for everyday iPhone use.

iPhone 3.0 software is free

for iPhone users but there's a charge for iPod Touch users.
The biggest change with

iPhone 3.0 software

is the new

copy and paste

functionality... something that was sorely missing from previous versions of iPhone / iPod touch software. However, there's a lot more to

iPhone 3.0 software

than that, as Jay explains.

There's been a lot of talk about the Amazon Kindle as well as other eBook readers. But did you know you can

read eBooks on your iPod Touch or iPhone too?

Stanza is available from the iPhone App Store and you can find

thousands of free eBooks

to read too.

There's been a lot of talk about the new Kindle from Amazon. If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, however, you can read eBooks too with Stanza. Stanza is also available for the Mac and PC desktop.

Always on the lookout for ways to make mobile life easier, Jay Goldman, AKA Mr. Mobile, seeks out an application to help him organize his grocery shopping list.

If you've ever played any recent games in the prolific The Legend of Zelda series, you will have been introduced to the ocarina, a real-world musical instrument that functions much like a flute.
Mr. Mobile is clearly a fan as he seeks out an ocarina emulator for the iPhone and finds Smule's appropriately titled Ocarina... offering much more than initially meets the eye.

A mobile fix for the Facebook addicted, the Facebook app for the iPhone ensures you'll never miss a friend's status update. You can also post pictures to your profile while on the go, get and send Facebook email, chat and more.

If you can organize the kids' many after school activities, practices, games, sleep-overs, school projects and more, the technology that the Lab Rats recommend will be a cinch! With this, the Lab Rats Soccer Mom's Tech Toolbox, organizing schedules and getting to and from the kids', family and your own activities has never been easier.

Andy and Sean take a peak inside the mailbox to see what Labrats viewers have to say. From binary to Wi-Fi, iPhone hacking to itunes, it's all fair game.

Andy and Sean hack the iPod Touch to make it more useful. Plus, a little cat crack!
