Last week, we showcased a method that allows anyone without an Apple developer account to run iOS 5 beta on iPhone, by bypassing Apple's activation wizard. For one of our readers, known as @sunflash93 on Twitter, this method wasn't working on his iPod touch (because of no emergency call functionality like iPhone 4), so he was kind enough to tell us about a new one. This has been tested on the iPod touch, although the tipper informed us it might work on the iPad just as well.
Ever wished you could download online videos from your iOS device? With Tube Downloader, this $1.99-App, you can browse videos from major video sites and download them on the fly. Despite its name, this app offers no support for YouTube, since downloading videos is against the site's terms of service, but it works fine with other video sites such as Vimeo or MetaCafe.
Google has updated Google Sync for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Three new features have been announced. Google Sync is used to keep your iOS device’s Mail.app, Calendar.app and Contacts.app in sync with your Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts (respectively).
The iPad is certainly one of the most well-known devices in the world. A possible prototype has been spotted at Display Taiwan that seems to be of a 3D-capable iPad.
Last Friday, we reported on Redsn0w 0.9.8, a new version of the well-known jailbreaking tool that supports iOS 5. Now, there's a Windows version too!
Sn0wbreeze, a well-known jailbreaking tool for Windows, now has support for iOS 5 Beta, which was jailbroken recently using Redsn0w for Mac. As of yet, only tethered jailbreak is possible, meaning that you have to connect the device to a computer when powering it on, in order to boot it into a jailbroken state.
It’s been more than three months since Apple started shipping the iPad 2 and the jailbreaking community really doesn’t appear to be satisfying jailbreaking, iPad 2-toting junkies.
Multitasking gestures are coming to iPad 2 with iOS 5. Apple, however, made quite a strange decision to disable the gestures on the original iPad. Here’s how to get them back.
iOS 5 is known for its system-wide Twitter integration, but according to a developer who's tested the Beta 1 out, the new iOS also integrates with other social networks, such as Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn and yes, even MySpace.
A feature that many iOS users wished for (and finally had their wishes heard on Monday) was wireless sync, which was introduced at last in iOS 5, on Monday. It has now surfaced that Apple essentially ripped off the idea from a UK-based University graduate, who released a similar app on Cydia last year.
