Hello everyone and welcome to a little feature we like to call the TiPb celebrity iPhone and iPad sightings roundup!

They all were spotted with an iPhone or iPad, of course. Check out a ton of pictures after the break, and if you spot a celebrity rocking an iPhone or iPad, drop us an email at so we can include them in the next roundup, next week!

Now you can play Beer Pong – with virtual beer! Not only does Beer Pong HD follow the official rules of the World Series of Beer Pong, it uses realistic physics algorithms and also uses the camera to simulate being drunk. Oh, and you better watch out if you play against the AI, as they will trash-talk you throughout the game in an effort to throw you off your game.

Although this is a virtual game with virtual beer, no one says you can’t be drinking a real frosty beverage while you play! Drink responsibly.

Be sure to check out the promo video below!

“Beer Pong HD” is the long awaited sequel to the only officially licensed Beer Pong game on the App Store: Beer Pong.

Have an app you’d love to see featured on TiPb? Email us at iosapps@tipb.com, tell us about your app (include an iTunes link), and we’ll take a look.

Backing up multiple devices or maybe you want to keep a copy of your Camera Roll and the tons of videos that come with and, and you’re wondering how to buy more iCloud storage to contain it all? Well you the good news is, Apple makes it incredibly easy.

• First off go to Settings on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
• Tap on iCloud in the left hand column

• Tap on Storage and Backup

• Tap on Buy More Storage

• A new box will now open up offering your three options.

You can now select to increase your storage to 10GB, 20GB or 50GB per year. Once you select one, you will be billed for that year; although Apple will offer refunds within 15 days or purchase. The picture above shows the costs in UK Pounds. The US equivalent will be $20, $40 and $100 a year.

A point to note, before you go for extra storage. Any music, apps, or iBooks that you bought through iTunes is stored for free in iCloud, as is your Photo Stream. So make sure you really need more before upgrading from the free option.

It’s time for our app picks of the week! We frequently comb the far reaches of the App Store to bring you awesome apps to check out.

This week, we’ve got a cool app that lets you code on your iPad, an updated media server app, and a social network that specializes in batch photo uploading. We hope you enjoy this week’s picks!(...)

With the holiday season just around the corner, handset manufacturers are counting on a strong finish to the 2011 sales year. And with smartphones and other mobile gadgets likely topping millions of wish lists this December, it’s a fairly feasible expectation.

But of all of the tech companies in the mobile market, Apple likely has the most riding on a successful fourth quarter; considering it forecasted nearly $40 billion dollars ($10 billion higher than any previous quarter) in revenue for the three month period…(...)

A 19-year-old Apple fan from Hong Kong has created a very special mod for the iPhone that places Steve Jobs inside the Apple logo on the back of the device. During the initial shock of Steve’s passing, a designer created a graphic of the Apple logo with Steve Jobs’ silhouette embedded in the logo itself.

That image became the inspiration for a very unique iPhone mod that is now available for purchase online…(...)

Siri understands a wide range of voice commands already, and the technology is bound to improve when third-party app integration is eventually implemented.

Now that everyone has had time to play with Siri on the iPhone 4S, interesting ideas are continuing to surface about how Siri could revolutionize certain markets. Siri has the potential to help drastically improve the 911 system in the US with location-aware and intelligent emergency alerts…(...)

It’s crazy what a thousand dollars worth of iPads, a Wi-FI connection, and a little bit of creativity can do. In this case, it can help create one of the best Halloween costumes we’ve seen yet.

The idea is to create a gaping hole in the torso using two iPads, one taped iPad on the front, and one taped on the back, then start a FaceTime conversation between them. The result is quite cool…(...)

NASA employee Mark Rober has come up with a fantastic Halloween costume that uses two iPads to create an amazing effect. He positioned one iPad 2 under his shirt on his front and one on his back. He then cut out two holes in his shirt around the iPads and added some fake blood around the openings.

Now this is the clever part, he setup a FaceTime call between the two iPads. The iPad 2 on his front shows what the iPad 2 on his back is seeing in its camera. This then creates the illusion that you can see right through his gut and out the other side!

Take a look at the elaborate set up in action in the video below. One small problem, the FaceTime call will need an active Wi-Fi connection; if you plan on trying this when you are out tonight, don’t forget your MiFi!

It appears Apple’s Mac OS X team is working on integrating two of iOS’s biggest features into Mac OS X, with iMessage and AirPlay mirroring apparently in the pipeline.

According to 9to5Mac’s sources, the Mac OS X team at Apple is currently working on ways to make both technologies part of a future Lion update, though there are no guarantee that the features will ever see the light of day.

iMessage in particular has been long rumored to be the replacement for iChat we’ve been waiting for, but AirPlay mirroring could potentially change the way presentations are given using a Mac…(...)

While Apple’s Photo Stream is a great way of getting photos to sync across multiple devices, there’s one glaring problem. Photo Stream doesn’t support video, presumably because Apple doesn’t want its servers full of hours and hours of 1080p videos showing cats sleeping.

It makes sense from a technical standpoint, but that doesn’t help you if you need to get a video from one device to another. There’s syncing with iTunes, and doing the iPhoto jig in the hope that everything works as planned, but it’s a pain, and not always practical.

That’s where PhotoSync comes in…(...)
