Instead of looking back on 2011, today we wanted to focus on what we can expect in our iDevice futures for next year. We have iTV rumors, new iPhone rumors, and of course lots of stuff on the iPad 3. Have you heard anything we didn’t cover? Make sure to share it in the comments!

The interface of the app is nothing special, though it’s pretty self-explanatory. When you launch the app for the first time, there is a helpful tutorial that will show you the basics and other features of the app, which is pretty nice.

When using Ripped from Reality, you have the option to either import a photo from your Photo Library or snap a new one from within the app. At the bottom of the screen are the options for editing your photo into a surreal masterpiece. The top of the screen has more options, including: New Photo, Help, Undo, Settings, and Share/Save.

apptrackr, the popular iOS piracy resource and maker of the jailbreak app Installous, has been feeling the wrath of justice of late. The crooks published news of Apple’s efforts to eradicate many of their website’s cracked apps, claiming the Cupertino company has been “scraping apptrackr for links and sending huge takedown notices for a ton of content.”

To combat this, the site has moved hosting duties to various international locales–ones, presumably, with less-defined legal copyright protection. However, such moves cost money, so apptrackr is implementing the use of ad-based CAPTCHAs on all outbound links (via iJailbreak):

Pocket Lists ($ 2.99) is a fully featured to-do application that has recently appeared in the App Store. Though a number of other GTD apps are already available, the reasonable price, design and feature-set of Pocket Lists makes it something rather more interesting that just another run-of-the-mill to-do application.

As outlined in the app’s release notes, features of Pocket Lists include:

• To-do lists
• Quick add
• Hierarchy
• Multiline to-do presentation
• To-do stream presenting all in priority & due order

Fortunately for Verizon iPhone owners, the carrier has recently announced that it has decided against charging customers an additional two dollars for one-time telephone and online payments.

A couple of days ago, Verizon Wireless announced that customers wishing to make one-time bill payments, either via telephone or online, would be charged an additional two dollars. The new rule was set to kick-in on January 15, and left many Verizon iPhone owners (most of which are already paying substantial monthly fees for their handset) absolutely and understandably outraged.

A team of iOS hackers (including Steve Troughton-Smith, @stroughtonsmith, and @TheMudKip) has managed to get numerous iOS applications and even the iOS SpringBoard to run on a second generation Apple TV.

Since the original launch of the Apple TV, one of its major criticisms has been the set-top box’s lack of support for third-party applications. Though it is possible to run plugins on the Apple TV and even stream an application from an iOS device to one’s TV screen (via AirPlay Mirroring), neither are quite the same as having full-blown third-party applications, as one does with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
