I had an old Atari400 sitting arround and thought I could put it to good use as an iPad Dock. It just required a little bit of a mod. Here are some pictures of my new Atari400 iPad dock. It uses the Apple Blue Tooth Keyboard and it fits in quite nicely.
My Son quickly took to the new dock - it made it easy for him to watch Pinky Dinky Doo on the iPad and to control the volume with the keyboard.
Here is a picture of the modified Atari400 with the top closed. And the Apple BT keyboard snuggly in place.
Here is a pic with the top open - I attached the cut outs to the lid - The cut outs are 5/8th of an inch wide to support both the iPad1 and iPad2 with covers in place. The lid when it is open supplies a nice support to lean the iPad against. It makes a great iPad stand.
Here is close up with the lid closed to show the slots are covered when the lid is closed.
With the Keyboard firmly in place - you can still get to the power button. So you can turn the keyboard on and off without having to remove it.
This mod supports the iPad both in Horizontal and Vertical orientations.
The opening for the keyboard is pretty much exactly the same width as Apple BT keyboard. Which means it fits in place with no additional attachments. You can just lift it out when you need to use it somewhere else. The only real mod needed was a cut out in the upper right and a slight dremmeling to smooth everything out.
Here is what the top case looks like with all the cut outs. Remeber to be carefull with the top slot cut outs if you want to save them to attach to the lid. I left 1/4 of an inch space from the front of the top ledge and then cut them at 5/8th of inch wide and down 3/8ths of an inch on the side. For the iPad 2 with a case a 1/2 inch wide would be fine.

NOTE on Updates - I moved all the Updates to the bottom - as they were causing more confusion with them at the top. So if you are having issues with your jailbreak go to the bottom and see the updates. Those that are new - ignore the updates for now.
===================================================
An un-tethered jailbreak is now available for iOS 5.0.1. However it is not working for all iOS devices. It is only good for iPhone 3GS, 4 (GSM) and 4 (CDMA), iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G & 4G. Note - This jailbreak will NOT work for the iPhone 4S or the iPad 2. If you have a tethered jailbreak already for iOS 5.0.1 - See this link
========= FOR UNLOCKERS ONLY - According to the Dev-Team - "The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1 If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW! Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether." Here are links to a tutorials that should help in jail breaking with out updating the baseband. How to jailbreak Your iPhone without updating the baseband (Windows) How to jailbreak Your iPhone without updating the baseband (Mac) But really if you are unlocked already - you want to be really really careful before doing anything. Maybe waiting a week or so would be best (just sayin). ========= There are some very good articles on how to jailbreak but many miss a couple of steps that new jailbreakers need to know especially when it comes to using Cydia - the resource for finding and installing jailbroken apps. This tutorial tries to help those first time jailbreakers by covering both the jailbreak process step by step and also how to use Cydia to install an app. Do not try to jailbreak if you don't like when things go to (expletive). If you need your device for your business and being without it for any period of time will cause you to loose your job - stop now. If you get mad at your significant other at how they fold towels or put the toilet paper on a roll - Jailbreaking is probably not for your personality. Sometimes things break and your device will likely crash more often then if it was not jailbroken. Apple "claims" jailbreak voids your warranty if that is an issue stop now. Note Squaretrade's warranties still cover jailbreaking. Step 0 - Before you start make sure you update your iOS device to iOS 5.0.1 if you have not done so already. If you do not know how to update your iOS device jailbreaking may not be for you. If you are already updated to iOS 5.0.1 make sure you do a sync and backup of your iOS device. If you have any photos or video you shot - transfer those now to your computer from your camera roll. Step 1 - Close out iTunes on your computer, force quit all open apps on your iOS device and then turn off your iOS Device (make sure your iOS device is connected to your computer via the USB cable before turning it off) (To force quit the open apps - From the home screen on your iOS device - double tap the home button - a tray will appear on the bottom of the device with your apps that are open - tap and hold one of the apps. All the apps in the tray will wiggle and you will see a red circle in the upper left with a "-" in it. Tap on all of the red circles until all of your apps are closed.) Step 2 - Download Redsn0w from the links below and unzip the file. redsn0w 0.9.10b1 for OS X redsn0w 0.9.10b2 for OS X
redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for OS X
redsn0w 0.9.10b1 for Windows redsn0w 0.9.10b2 for Windows
redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows, no version check (if above version doesn't work)
redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows (be sure to be in Administrator mode)
Step 3 - I recommend closing out all of your open programs and restarting your computer before proceeding. If you have iTunes set to launch when you connect your iOS device - you will need to quit out of iTunes again.
Step 4 - Launch redsn0w 0.9.10b1 and select "Jailbreak"
Step 5 - Once you confirm your iOS device is connected to your computer and it is off (and iTunes is shut down) click "Next"
Step 6 - You need to follow the online instructions on getting your iOS device into DFU mode. As soon as you click Next - you will need to hold down the power button for 3 seconds
Then you will need to continue to hold the power button while you hold down the home button for 10 seconds
Then you will release just the power button while continuing to hold down the home button for 15 seconds.
If you / when you mess this step up by releasing the wrong button(s) you can click the back button and try again. Step 7 - If you correctly entered your iOS device in DFU mode you will then see a few different messages come up in redsn0w.
Step 8 - You will then be taken to a screen on the Redsn0w app that asks you to "select your options" - Instal Cydia will already be selected. For most users that is all you want selected - However if you want to try out multitask Gestures - now is when you want to select those. Once you have selected your options click "Next"
Step 9 - You will then be taken to the screen below which gives the message that the remainder of the install will take place on your iOS device. This is all done by the computer - do NOT disconnect in this step.
You will see the installation completing on your device. If it looks like it is froze up - breathe deep and have a little patience - it can take 5 to 10 minutes to complete. When it is done it will take you to your lock screen. If you miss that - your screen will be black - tap on the home button. And then unlock. Step 10 - You can then check your iOS device to find the Cydia App - which should be brown with a white circle and logo in the circle. If the Cydia app appears all white - this is not unusual. You likely will not be able to launch the cydia app if it is white. Simply power down (off) your iOS device and then start it back up (turn on). When it reboots - the Cydia app should now be brown. Step 11 - Launch the Cydia App. The first time you launch it you will be asked "Who Are you?" with the options of "User", "Hacker", "Developer" - if you are reading this - select "User" and then tap "Done" Step 12 - Once it is done it will open up and you should see a screen that looks like that below. Note some times after the first launch it takes you back to your home screen - just go back and open Cydia app again.
One App almost everyone will want and that works on the iPhone's, iPod Touch's and the iPad is the app SBSettings. This moves important settings / controls to the notification dock where they are always quickly available.
To install this app Tap on "Search" in the bottom row of Cydia and then in the search box type "SBSettings"
Next Tap on "SBSettings" the top one - not the one any of the others. Read the warning. Then Tap on "Install" in the upper Right corner
Then Tap on "Confirm" in the upper Right corner Then Tap on "Restart Springboard" Then in the Settings App under Notifications - Go to SBSettings and turn it to "On". Next launch the SBSettings app - and look at all the options.
Thats it you are now jailbroken and have your first real jailbroken app running on your device.
Please understand sometimes installs of apps are interrupted - in which case you need to try and re-install. Things are not as stable when you jailbreak - expect some additional crashes and conflicts between apps. Which is why if you install an app you no longer plan to use - it is best to delete said app - the more jailbroken apps you have installed - the higher the probability you will have a conflict.
Note: If you have an iPad - do not - repeat - do not - install Five icon dock - it will really mess up your iPad and you will need to restore it. However that app works great on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
========================================
FIX FOR iBOOKS ISSUE: (NOT NEEDED IF YOU RAN the B4 version above)
This jailbreak breaks the use of iBooks - but there is a fix for this issue.
After you jailbreak and with Cydia open:
1. Go to Manage --> Sources --> Edit --> Add
2. Add the following source - http://repo.insanelyi.com - Then tap "Add source"
3. After the source is finished adding - search for "iBooksFix2"
4. Tap on it - and then tap on "Install" and then "Confim" and then confirm again if you get a warning about the source having been reported to have questionable apps.
5. After it installs - and you are back at your home screen - reboot your iPhone.
6. Open iBooks - it should work now.
====================================
Update1: 12/28/2011 9:28 PM CT. There was an issue with the original version of redsn0w 0.9.10b1 - Links have been updated below for b2 version. If you are having issues with the jailbreak using the b1 version - you should rejailbreak running the b2 version - if you had already jailbroke with b1 (working or not) when you do the new run for b2 - deselect the install cydia option. This is again only for those that installed cydia with b1 version. If this is your first time jailbreaking iOS 5.0.1 ignore this paragraph and just go below and follow all instructions as is.
Update2: 12/28/2011 10:08 PM CT. Removed references to Backgrounder app (which no longer works correctly) and replaced with info on SBSettings App as the example Jailbreak app.
Update3: 12/29/2011 11:53 AM CT. With this jailbreak - it breaks iBooks - so if you use / want to use iBooks - then this is not the jailbreak for you. Hopefully this will be addressed shortly. But for now stay away if you want to use iBooks.
Update4: 12/29/2011 4:13 PM CT. There was an issue with the b2 version of redsn0w 0.9.10b2 - Links have been updated below for b3 version. If you are having issues with the jailbreak using the b1 or b2 or b3 version - you should rejailbreak running the b3 b4 version - if you had already jailbroke with b1 or b2 or b3 (working or not) when you do the new jailbreak for b3 b4 - deselect the install cydia option. This is again only for those that installed cydia with b1 or b2 or b3 version. If this is your first time jailbreaking iOS 5.0.1 ignore this paragraph and just go below and follow all instructions as is.
Update5: 12/29/2011 5:03 PM CT. There is now a fix for the iBooks issue. See above this section for instructions on how to fix it. Update6: 1/16/2012 8:21 AM CT. "The b4 version of redsn0w incorporates the 5.0.1 fix for iBooks, and also for sporadic problems with launchctl. Thanks to @xvolks for merging the iBooks (sandbox) fix from @comex’s github into the overall corona untether from @pod2g! As usual, If you already installed one of the previous Redsn0w versions of the Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 you can choose to install the fix either by re-running redsn0w over your existing jailbreak (de-select Cydia if you do that), or by installing the corona package from Cydia (it’s the same set of files no matter which way you choose)."

Half of the work in developing an App is promoting said App. And where I can I like to help out Devs. One way is saying what to do, but what is more fun is saying what not to do - by showing an example.
The following is an email I received today.
Oh so many issues with this one. Let me comment on this in Blue.
Hello,
Don't start an email with just hello - find out the persons name. No first name is a big red flag I am being spammed.
My name is Oliver and I have developed an app that I think will interest you and your users/followers/viewers.
My users/followers/viewers ??? Take some time to figure out what type of producer someone is. For me it is obviously listeners. Not "users", Not "followers" and definitely not "viewers".
I am sure you receive a lot of mail but my app is truly unique.
Yes - Yes I do get a lot of mail - but at this point I am not thinking about his unique app - maybe his uniquely bad email - but not his unique app.
P.S. Big fan of your site/channel/blog Best Regards, Saying he is a big fan of my site/channel/blog - is so disingenuous. Above he clearly showed he did not even know the format of my content - and now says he is a big fan. I call BS. Don't BS the media channels you reach out to. And if don't say your a fan - show you are a fan - say something in the email only a fan would know.
Again the amount of time you put into promoting your app should be equal to or greater than that you put into developing the app. And part of that work is researching the blogger / podcaster / youtuber you are reaching out to. Content producers are busy creating content - and if you have something interesting and you present it honestly - there is a good chance you will get some coverage. But doing what Oliver did is a complete waste of everyones time. Well except in this case it did make good fodder for the show.

As mentioned on ep 197 - there were reports of some users having battery drain issues - and a proposed fix. Turn off the update time zone option in Location services. Apple has now admited to the batter issue saying the following.
"A small number of customers have reported lower-than-expected battery life on iOS 5 devices," Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said in a statement. "We have found a few bugs that are affecting battery life, and we will release a software update to address those in a few weeks." Expect more on this in the near future.

UPDATE 3: It looks like for new Sprint Customers - you can not pre-order - It says the following:
Which then takes you to this message:
So at least for those jumping to Sprint from another carrier or Adding a line - no Pre-Order for you. Walkins only.
UPDATE 2: Pre-Ordering is now live - Go HERE
Update 1: Engadget is reporting on a 3:00 AM ET launch for pre-ordering. I will stay up and see if this comes to pass. --------------------------- Sometime between 2:00 AM ET and probably 9:00 AM ET the iPhone 4S will be available to pre-order.
When it is available I will send out a push with the URL to pre-order and also update this post.
Here are two links from the iPhone Pre-Order in June 2010:
--------------------------------
----------------------------------
If the past is any indication it likely will be around sunrise on the East coast.
Again this post will be updated as soon as I have more info.

...I am sooooo tiried of reading blog post after blog post about how the iPhone 4S is a marginal update, or barely an update. Or you pick the negative retort. Because when I sat there on Tuesday and was reading about all the new features being announced - I was thinking - Wow this is as big an update as the iPhone 4 was vs the 3GS. So I need to ask - What are all those that are bemoaning the iPhone 4S really upset about? Seriously - I am asking. Because I don't have a clue what they are thinking.
It actually made it to the point where I started to question my sanity on this matter - so I decided to put together the chart you see above.
CLICK HERE FOR THE LARGER VERSION
What I did in this chart was put in all the new features of the iPhone 4 vs what was in the iPhone 3GS. And then also all the new features of the iPhone 4S vs what is in the iPhone 4. And when I was done with the chart - I felt a lot better - No I am not crazy - the iPhone 4S really is as big an update from the iPhone 4 as the iPhone 4 was from the 3GS. Still don't believe me - then go back look over that chart again. Actually I find when looking at all the changes objectively - the 4S is actually a bigger update than the 4 was.
Clearly calling it the iPhone 4S - in some peoples mind is the real reason they are feeling it is not as big an update - which is pretty lame for so called tech journalists. Sure - I would have liked to see it called the iPhone 5. But either way it is still a major update. Some reasons I think Apple went with the 4S vs 5 name is that with the 3G and 3GS - they both had the same case. So to with the 4 and 4S. Also in 2012 - with the 6th iPhone (dare not say iPhone 6) - it is likely going to be LTE - it will also likely not be released until the fall of 2012 as well. And when this 6th iPhone is released - it will NOT be called the iPhone 5 - it will be called the iPhone 4G - as in LTE = 4G. And guess what it is likely going to be in the same package as the 4 and 4S.
I read in a post where someone said they are just waiting for the iPhone 5 - well guess what the iPhone 4S really trully is the iPhone 5 - it is just not called the iPhone 5. Per all those rumors about teardrop packages, wider and bigger screens and 4G be it LTE or WiMax - those never made any sense this year. And other than LTE - I don't see any of them making sense next year.
So next time you read a post about someone bemoaning the iPhone 4S - send them the link to the chart above and ask them to justify their position based on that REAL info.
UPDATE: I updated the graph to better illustrate all the specs of the iPhone 4S. In the graph now the top 7 iteams are all improvements vs the 4. The last 8 items in the 4S column are all new just to the 4S. Plus the last 9 items for the 4 are ofcourse also in the 4S - incase you want to compare vs the 3GS. No mater how you slice it the 4S is a great device. UPDATE2: iFixit has opened up an iPhone 4S and sadly it is still at 512 MB of RAM. Chart has been updated accrodingly.

I had a reporter from Inc.com ask me a few questions on what I thought the iPhone 5 would be like and some other questions with regards to business users. Below is his questions and my answers. I will be talking more about the iPhone 5 in coming episodes. 1. What do you think will be 5-6 new features of the iPhone 5?
2. For business users, is this going to be a no-brainer upgrade? Why or why not?
3. What can a business user do to prep for the new model in terms of support in the workplace, expected costs, etc.?
4. How has the Android OS encroached on the iPhone in terms of business features?
5. Can Apple possibly keep the momentum going with each new iPhone in terms of capturing market share, etc.? How will they do that?

Wed, 8 June 2011
Here is a wrap up of what was announced at WWDC with regards to iOS 5.
Scott Forstall started off giving an update to some numbers.
There are now over 200 Million iOS devices sold. Which Apple claims is the number one mobile Operating system with 44% share vs 28% share for Android and 19% share for RIM - with Other filling in 9% share. Numbers from Comscore for US April 2011. So that is not Global - just US Mobile Installed Base.
Over 25 Million iPads sold in the first 14 Months.
Over 130 Million downloads from the iBookstore.
Over 425,000 Apps currently in the App store with over 90,000 being iPad Apps (Smoke that Honeycomb). Over 100,000 of the 425,000 are Game and Entertainment Apps.
Over 14 Billion App Downloads and Apple has paid out over $2.5 Billion to Developers.
64% of Mobile Browser Usage is via Safari vs 27% for Android - Source Net Applications - for US April 2011.
Next up was the important stuff - iOS 5 Additions - Over 1,500 new API's and over 200 new User Features. Scott then went through what they called 10 "Key" new features.
Which are: 1. Notifications - As in improving how they work. Greatly improving them as in not having Push's notifications interrupting you or worst yet them disappearing when you unlock. Actually you can still have a push message interrupt you with a pop up alert or you can have them as a banner at the top of the screen that allows you to keep on doing what you were doing. Apple has created - Notifications Center - where all your notifications are collected in one place. It includes Push Notifications, Phone Messages, Text Messages, Plus stocks and Weather. Plus they are adding Notification info to the lock screen. If you are thinking this sounds a lot like the Jailbreak App - Notifier - you would not be alone in thinking that. For more on the Jailbreak App Notifier listen to Ep 142.
2. Newsstand - Which is essentially the same as iBooksstore but just for Newspapers and Magazines.
3. Twitter Integration - Universal Login for your account in settings - which is shared with any apps using twitter (possible security issue?) Twitter option in Camera App for sharing photos. Plus tweeting from Safari, Youtube and maps. Plus Twitter is added to contacts and you can use peoples Twitter photos in your contact list.
4. Improvements to Safari - They added a button called Reader - which pulls out the chafe and centers in on the story you are reading. Just tap on "Reader" button when it appears in the title bar and it just brings in the text and images for that article and allows you to change the text size. If you tap on the side or on the Reader button again it goes back. Also while in "Reader" mode you can email the content of the article - not just the link. For all those of you that email me in articles where before you were copying and pasting - this will be a nice addition. They also Added "Reading Lists" to Safari - which is a way or bookmarking articles to read at a later time or on another iOS device and Safari on Mac and Windows too - as the reading list is sync'd via iCloud. They Also added Tabbed Browsing to Safari (About Time). You can have up to 9 tabs open at any time and switching between them is very fast. Also you can drag the tabs around to get them in the order you want (Very Nice feature).
5. Reminders - Think digital post-it notes. You can be reminded of things to do by Location or by date.
6. Camera Updates - First is adding a button to the camera from the lock screen. You can take photos with out entering passcode - but can't access other photos. I think college students will have fun with this feature and their friends iPhone - just sayin. They also now allow you to us the volume up button on the iPhone 4 to take pictures. (Yes that is the same feature they kicked someone else's Photo App out of the App store for - again just sayin). They added pinch to zoom in the camera - no more having to try to get on the slider to zoom. Auto Exposure Lock (NICE!!!) you can set the exposure on a person and then move around and the exposure stays set. You can now edit photos on your iPhone - Crop, Red Eye Reduction and Auto Enhance.
7. Mail Updates - Adding Rich Text Formatting (Yawn and sometime annoying), Indentation Control, Draggable Address between To, CC and BCC (About Time), Flag Messages or Mark as unread, Search now searches the content of the Entire Messages not just To, From and Subject - YEAH!!! (and again About Time), For the enterprise users support for S/MIME. You can now choose to show the 50, 100, 200, 500 or 1,000 most recent emails - The last two options being new.
UPDATE 6/9/11 - One big new feature - Being able to add multiple mailboxes to your email accounts including Pop Gmail accounts right on the iOS device. This was the biggest complaint of my Wife on email on the iPad and he favorite new feature in iOS 5. She also likes that it now says it is deleting the email and not archiving it. 8. PC Free - Which means no more needing a PC to setup an iOS device. So now an iPad can be your ONLY computer or at least you don't need to update your old computer to support your iPad. Now software updates will be over the Air. (Air being Wifi) And updates are Delta Updates - which means just what changes is what you download - no need to download the entire 666 MB file. Plus any things you previously needed to set up on your computer - ie a new Calendar - can now be done on the iOS device.
9. Game Center Update (Yawn) - Added Photos, Game and Player Recommendations, Game Downloads, Add dev support for Turn-based games.
10. iMessage - Messaging service between all iOS Devices. Can Send Text Messages, Photos, Video, Contacts, Group Messages. Plus you get Delivery Receipts and Read Receipts and Typing Indication to see if you are about to get a return message. Supported over both 3G and Wifi. All is sent Encrypted. If you are thinking "wow the Phone carriers must be pissed about this" you would not be alone in thinking that.
11. Split Keyboard (iPad only) - Mentioned in the email section - but deserved its own number as it is for all system apps. You can now for the iPad split the keyboard and move it up or down. This make it much easier for those that want to / need to type with thumbs while holding the iPad. Quick testing of this feature and I found it very frustrating to get the keyboard positioned where I wanted it (It is beta I am sure they will get that worked out) but once I did get it where I wanted it - wow - what a difference in sending emails and typing notes. Especially when standing and holding the iPad - the Split works for both Landscape and portrait modes and the position you finally settle on is remembered from App to App - until you accidentally merge and dock it - and then you start all over with the frustration of repositioning them - Apple needs to improve this before going gold in the Fall. This is one of those features you will love or hate.
12. WiFi Sync to iTunes - This should have been in the top 10 for sure and was barely mentioned in the keynote. This is one of those features that previously you needed to Jailbreak for - So once again with a major update to iOS it is clear Apple is looking to Jailbreakers for new iOS features. Apple may say they are against Jailbreaking - but it seems like the perfect Alpha testing ground for next gen iOS features. Just sayin.
13. In All Apple said there were over 200 new features for iOS 5 - some of the other new features that they showed up on the projector included: - AirPlay Mirroring - Alternate routes in Maps - Hourly Weather Forecasts - New iPad Music App (Which I do not like one bit. It really screws over Podcasters. Hopefully this will be fixed before full release) - Option to Speak Text Selection - Swipe to Delete Songs and Playlists - iTunes Tone Store - Personal Dictionary - VoiceOver Action Support - VoiceOver item Chooser - Real-Time Stock Quotes - Custom Vibration Patterns - LED Flash on incoming Calls and Alerts - Multitasking Gestures - Accessible Input for Mobility - Wirelessly sync Exchange Tasks and more...
iOS 5 Beta is now available to Devs (lots of Applause). iOS 5 for the general public will be available some time in the Fall (Anywhere between Late September and Late December - NO Applause). iOS 5 will support the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, iPad and iPad 2, iPod touch 3rd and 4th gens - plus any new iOS devices released before or when iOS 5 is made available.
Next Steve came back on Stage to talk about MobileMe Part 2 - or what they now call iCloud. Guess if a product does not do well - Kill its name and start over with an iName. Ok Ok - Steve did say it was more. "iCloud stores your content in the cloud and wirelessly pushes it to all your devices." The big difference with Apples approach to the cloud is that iCloud is integrated with your apps, so everything just happens. As Steve said "It Just All Works". So I guess it is different than MobileMe. MobileMe was seen leaving the SanFran strapped to the bottom of a Bus - Steve put it there in his speech saying about MobilMe "It was not our finest hour". MobileMe was basically Contacts, email and Calendar. Which Steve says they started over with the three, Apple built them from the ground up for iCloud. There is also one big difference between MobileMe and iCloud. MobileMe cost money - iCloud is FREE.
The Shared Calendars is nice - you and your significant other can share calendars quite easily and as soon as one of you changes / adds and item in that calendar on their iOS device or Mac - it will update right away on any device that is sharing that calendar.
With Mail with iCloud you can get a free Mail account with a @me.com address. New messages get pushed to all your devices and it keeps your inbox and folders up to date across your devices.
With iCloud it also automatically can download a purchased App to all of your devices. So buy the Tii App on your iPhone and it will automatically downloaded to your iPad and or iPod Touch. If you don't go for autodownloads you can check your app purchase history from any of your iOS devices and for any apps you don't have downloaded already on that device - you will get a little iCloud logo next to the app indicating you can download it for free.
iBooks works the same way as the Apps with iCloud, and it also syncs up where you are in a book from your current iOS device to all your other devices. So you can put down your iPhone when you get home and pick up your iPad and the iPad will already know where you are in that book.
They added wireless backup to the cloud. Automatic daily backups via Wifi of your important information. It backups your purchased music, device settings, Apps, App data, Books, Camera Roll including both Photos and Video.
Apple also added "Documents in the Cloud" - It automatically uploads to the cloud any documents you are creating in Pages, Keynote and Numbers - and pushes them out to your other devices. Apple is also releasing the API's that they used for their apps - so others will be able to take advantage of Docs in the cloud. This will work across all iOS Devices, Macs and PC's.
Photo Stream is another new feature in iCloud. You can take photos on any device and it automatically uploads the photos to iCloud and then pushes them out to all your other devices including Macs and PC's. On the Mac it is built into iPhone and on PC's they use Pictures Folder. It also works with Apple TV. iCloud will store each photo for 30 days, Your iOS devices will store the last 1,000 photos and you Mac and PC's will store all photos for ever.
The last feature of iCloud is iTunes in the Cloud. Don't mistake this for a streaming music service - it is not. It is about giving you access to any music you purchased in iTunes to all your devices at no additional charge. This is a pull feature not a push feature for your past music. For future music you can select an option that new purchases will also automatically download to all your other devices. Being able to redownload for FREE your old purchased music is a great new feature - I was able to get back some Led Zep and Pink Floyd songs i thought were long lost. You can have up to 10 devices sharing the music.
FREE seems the be the biggest and best feature of iCloud. To get iCloud on Any iOS device running iOS 5 just enter in your Apple ID and password and that is it. You get 5 GB of Free storage for Mail, Documents and Backup. You can of course purchase more storage as needed. However you may not need even the 5 GB as Purchased Music, Books, Apps and Photostream do not count against your storage. When you update to iOS 5, the first time you log in it will ask you to sign in with an AppleID - which is to set up iCloud, the App Store, iTunes Store and more on your iOS device - it then sits there for a few seconds before moving on. Then you are taken through the options which are turned on by default but you can turn off if you want - iCloud, then Find my iOS device, and Diagnostic. It is a pretty quick process.
I am not going to go over all of the things that did not make it into iOS 5 (Yet). That will be for future podcast episodes.

UPDATE: 10/9/11 - DON'T USE JAILBREAKME.COM - THE SITE HAS BEEN SOLD AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED AT THIS TIME. UPDATE: 7/6/11 - THIS TUTORIAL ALSO NOW SHOWS USING JAILBREAKME.COM
This is for Jailbreaking - NOT for unlocking. If you want to take your iPhone to another carrier (unlock) then this is not the tutorial for you. Note: This tutorial works for iOS 4.3.3 for the iPhone 4 (GSM), iPhone 3GS, iPad1, iPod Touch 4th Gen, iPod Touch 3rd Gen. If your iOS devices is not listed it is not supported with this tutorial. AND NOW WITH IPAD2 There are some very good articles on how to jailbreak but many miss a couple of steps that new jailbreakers need to know especially when it comes to using Cydia - the resource for finding and installing jailbroken apps. This tutorial tries to help those first time jailbreakers by covering both the jailbreak process step by step and also how to use cydia to install an app. Do not try to jailbreak if you don't like when things go to (expletive). If you need your device for your business and being without it for any period of time will cause you to loose your job - stop now. If you get mad at your significant other at how they fold towels or put the toilet paper on a roll - Jailbreaking is probably not for your personality. Sometimes things break and your device will likely crash more often then if it was not jailbroken. Apple "claims" jailbreak voids your warranty if that is an issue stop now. Note Squaretrade's warranties still cover jailbreaking. If your iOS device is already jailbroken - then check out this video tutorial on how to back up your jailbroken iOS device. (Thanks Brian for putting this together.) Step 0 - Before you start make sure you update your iOS device to iOS 4.3.3 if you have not done so already. If you do not know how to update your iOS device jailbreaking may not be for you.
TO JAILBREAK WITH HTTP://WWW.JAILBREAKME.COM - SIMPLY VIA YOUR iOS DEVICE RUNNING iOS 4.3.3 (ANY IOS DEVICE) IN MOBILE SAFARI GO TO THE LINK JAILBREAKME.COM YOU CAN THEN FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR iOS DEVICE AND SKIP TO STEP 16 BELOW.
Step 1 - Close out iTunes and Turn off your iOS Device (make sure your iOS device is connected to your computer) Step 2 - Create a folder called "jailbreak433" on your desktop.
Step 3 - Download Redsn0w from the following links Redsn0w 0.9.6rc16: Step 4 - Extract from the zip file (by double clicking) and drag the folder into Jailbreak433 Folder on your desk top.
Step 5 - Download the IPSW file for your iOS Device. (This will take some time as it is a big file - Over 600 MB) IPSW (Firmware) Step 6 - Move IPSW file into your Jailbreak433 folder.
Step 7 - Open the Jailbreak433 folder and then the Redsn0w folder and launch the Redsn0w App.
Step 8 - Click the browse button and find the Jailbreak433 folder and choose the IPSW file (Firmware).
Step 9 - Click the "Next" button once the firmware has been successfully identified
Step 10 - You will then be taken to a screen on the Redsn0w app that asks you to "select your options" - Instal Cydia will already be selected. For most users that is all you want selected - However if you want to try out multitask Gestures - now is when you want to select those. Once you have selected your options click "Next"
Step 11 - You need to make sure your iOS Device is both turned off and connected to your computer. Do not connect via a USB hub or Keyboard or monitor port - Connect directly from the Computer USB port to the iOS device. Note: If you connect your turned off iOS device to the computer at this stage - it will likely turn on your iOS device. If so after it boots up - hold down the power button and slide to turn it off again.
Once you confirm you are connected directly to your computer and the iOS device is turned off - you can click "Next" - Note this next step will take some good timing and following of directions. Step 12 - As soon as you click Next - you will need to hold down the power button for 3 seconds
Step 13 - Then you will need to continue to hold the power button while you hold down the home button for 10 seconds
Step 14 - Then you will release just the power button while continuing to hold down the home button for 15 seconds.
If you / when you mess this step up by releasing the wrong button(s) you can click the back button and try again. Step 15 - You will see a message saying Waiting for reboot.
Then one that says "done" Do NOT click on Finish yet.
On your iOS device you will see a bunch of activity including some code - Do not remove the iOS device from the computer. After a minute or so you will see a Pineapple with legs and a message Moving Applications. At this point just be patient the jailbreak process is finishing up. It will take a few minutes for the process to finish and for your iOS device to reboot. If it has been more than 10 or 15 minutes and the iOS device screen is all black - tap the home button one time - chances are it finished and you missed it. If it shows the slide to unlock screen you can then click "Finish" in the Redsn0w App. That is it - you are jailbroken. Step 16 - You can now find the Cydia App on your iOS device. It is a brown icon and labeled as "Cydia". Note some reports say right after the jailbreak - the Cydia App is showing up as all white - but after a reboot of the iOS device it returns to its normal brown icon.
Step 17 - Tap on the Cydia App to launch it. The program will do some maintenance the first time you open it.
Step 18 - Once it is done it will open up and you should see a screen that looks like that below. Note some times after the first launch it takes you back to your home screen - just go back and open Cydia app again.
One App almost everyone will want and that works on the iPhone's, iPod Touch's and the iPad is the app Backgrounder. This app allows true multitasking on your device and it is free. To install this app Tap on "Search" in the bottom row of Cydia and then in the search box type "backgrounder"
Next Tap on "Backgrounder from BigBoss" the second one - not the one that says "(2.x only)"
Then Tap on "Install" in the upper Right corner
Then Tap on "Confirm" in the upper Right corner
At this point you have installed your first jailbroken App. It is recommended you open up Backgrounder and adjust some of the settings.
First tap on "Global". After you make your donation that is.
Set all the switches to "ON". Then go Tap "Back" and then Tap "Control"
Finally scroll through and select how you want to be able to enable and disable backgrounding for apps. Personally I like the "Short Hold" of the Sleep Button. It makes it very easy to enable and is not likely going to be enabled by accident.
Thats it you are now jailbroken and have your first real jailbroken app running on your device.
Please understand sometimes installs of apps are interrupted - in which case you need to try and re-install. Things are not as stable when you jailbreak - expect some additional crashes and conflicts between apps.
Note: If you have an iPad - do not - repeat - do not - install Five icon dock - it will really mess up your iPad and you will need to restore it. However that app works great on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Apple broke their silence today and responded with a Q&A press release - HERE - That answers many questions about the Location Data being cached on your phone. Bottom line - this was a bug and your exact location was never being tracked (which the later was obvious if you looked at the data). Here is what Apple plans to do:
Sometime in the next few weeks Apple will release a free iOS software update that:
In the next major iOS software release the cache will also be encrypted on the iPhone. I will go over the entire PR on the next episode along with many of the other stories and any items not covered by the PR.

Update: Make sure to read the comments at the end of trouble shoot help.
This is for Jailbreaking - NOT for unlocking. If you want to take your iPhone to another carrier (unlock) then this is not the tutorial for you.

Step 16 - You can now find the Cydia App on your iOS device. It is a brown icon and labeled as "Cydia". Note some reports say right after the jailbreak - the Cydia App is showing up as all white - but after a reboot of the iOS device it returns to its normal brown icon.
Step 17 - Tap on the Cydia App to launch it. The program will do some maintenance the first time you open it.
Step 18 - Once it is done it will open up and you should see a screen that look like that below.
One App almost everyone will want and that works on the iPhone's, iPod Touch's and the iPad is the app Backgrounder. This app allows true multitasking on your device and it is free. To install this app Tap on "Search" in the bottom row of Cydia and then in the search box type "backgrounder"
Next Tap on "Backgrounder from BigBoss" the second one - not the one that says "(2.x only)"
Then Tap on "Install" in the upper Right corner
Then Tap on "Confirm" in the upper Right corner
At this point you have installed your first jailbroken App. It is recommended you open up Backgrounder and adjust some of the settings.
First tap on "Global". After you make your donation that is.
Set all the switches to "ON". Then go Tap "Back" and then Tap "Control"
Finally scroll through and select how you want to be able to enable and disable backgrounding for apps. Personally I like the "Short Hold" of the Sleep Button. It makes it very easy to enable and is not likely going to be enabled by accident.
Thats it you are now jailbroken and have your first real jailbroken app running on your device.
Please understand sometimes installs of apps are interrupted - in which case you need to try and re-install. Things are not as stable when you jailbreak - expect some additional crashes and conflicts between apps.
Note: If you have an iPad - do not - repeat - do not - install Five icon dock - it will really mess up your iPad and you will need to restore it. However that app works great on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Update: Make sure to read the comments at the end of trouble shoot help.

Word is coming out that in the UK carriers are dropping prices of the iPad - implying the iPad 2 is right around the corner. Plus you know the iPad2 is right around the corner. This means it is time for the iPad2 rumor bingo card. There have been a lot of different rumors about the iPad2 - some going back to right after the iPad launched. The Bingo card above shows many of these rumors. Some will likely be spot on - most will miss the mark - others are just silly. Per my thoughts on those above:
Likely: Front Facing Camera 1.2 GHz Dual Core Processor Gyroscope Rear Facing 5 MP Camera Larger Rear Speaker Finger Print Resistant Display Same 1024 x 768 IPS Display Thinner Not as Reflective Display Lighter Poly Carb Case Verizon CDMA 3G Version
Maybe: 128 GB storage on Top End Near Field Communication (NFC) 2nd Landscape Mode Dock Connector 1 GB RAM $399 for Lowest end iPad
Long Shot: 2048 x 1536 "Retina Display" 512 MB RAM
No Chance: No More WiFi only iPads SD Card Slot Rear Facing 3 MP Camera Rear Facing 1 MP Camera 7" Version USB Port No Home Button

What the Frack is wrong with the NY Times or more specifically Joe Nocera at the NY Times. Did Steve Jobs drown his puppy and run off with his Wife too? Not sure how else to explain the "Article" he posted titled - Verizon Deal May Expose iPhone Flaws. To say it is a flawed post filled with mis-information and is highly biased is really understating how bad this "Article" is. Did the NY Times fire all the editors? To start we have this quote
"Yet for all that it offers, the iPhone has always been plagued by serious drawbacks. The “phone” part of the iPhone has never worked very well, dropping calls with annoying regularity. Even when the phone works, the sound quality is often substandard. You would think in an age when fewer people are using landlines this would matter. Apparently not."
What is not mentioned by Joe is that the iPhone works very well in other countries on other networks. And even in the US the iPhone 4 works very well depending on where you live. NY and San Fran - not so much. But in Kansas City where I live the iPhone 4 is rock solid and the sound quality of the calls is far better than my Wife's smartphone on T-Mobile. I have found the iPhone 4 works in areas my iPhone 3GS never worked.
Joe continues with these gems:
"the iPhone’s lack of a raised keyboard makes it next to impossible to do serious e-mailing. And users have to worry constantly about battery life; if they’re not judicious, the iPhone’s battery can be drained by noon."
Ummm - WOW. Really Joe you are going back to 2007 to bitch about the lack of a Physical Keyboard? That horse has not just been beaten to death - the corpse has long since decomposed and and turned to dust which was then blown away. It is 2011 and to date over 160 Million iOS devices with the virtual keyboard have been sold. Joe - GET OVER IT. Per the second part of that quote - Battery Life - What the Frack? Really - you are complaining about the iPhone's battery life - well then you are about the only one. The iPhone 4 has great battery life, and better than almost all other full screen smart phones. Battery Life ? Joe? Really? Please let us know exactly what other full screen smart phones have a better battery life. Oh I will do that for you - see this link. Looks like only the Droid X has better battery life. Battery Life is not a complaint I get from my listeners. Surely you are not complaining about the lack of a removable battery? If so see comments above about 2007 and the dead horse.
"They never make design compromises at Apple. They make consumer compromises. Yet consumers have always been willing to overlook those compromises so they can claim they own some of the coolest products on the planet."
Joe it appears you just don't get it (understatement of the year). Even if people were just buying the iPhone because it was cool - that would not explain why it turns up on top of EVERY consumer survey for customer satisfaction. Regardless of the motivation of why people are buying the iPhone - they clearly are very happy once they do get the device. I will not get into the condescending message your quote sends - but clearly you think iPhone owners are mindless drones. Which obviously hit you pretty hard when you found out your son was one of those mindless drones - since he wants the iPhone too. Luckily Joe for your son intelligence comes from the Mother - and that is a better explanation on why your son wants the iPhone.
"As much as anything, the success of Android is what finally pushed Apple into the arms of Verizon Wireless, which got much better terms than AT&T. ... In truth, Apple needed Verizon Wireless more than Verizon Wireless needed Apple. The deal the two companies cut reflects that fact."
Is that the deal that does not put any Crapware on the iPhone and does not put the Verizon Logo on the iPhone? You say "In Truth" like it is fact. But what about the fact that AT&T was adding more subscribers than Verizon every quarter. Reality is both needed each other - but Verizon needed the iPhone more than Apple needed Verizon. Subscriber growth is the life blood for carriers and the iPhone is the key reason why AT&T continually was beating Verizon.
"Mainly, though, the Verizon Wireless subscriber is simply used to a different kind of experience. If they all migrate immediately to the iPhone, then truly I will raise the white flag."
White flags are something you waive in Battle. Obviously Joe, you feel you are in a war with the iPhone - and that comes through perfectly clear in your very biased article. However, what is also very clear based on your mis-information and lack of any real research is that you showed up to a gun fight with just a knife. Remember when you are waiving your white flag to raise it high above your head we would not want you shot by one of those mindless iPhone buying drones or your own son. Metaphorically speaking that is.

What the Frack is wrong with Consumer Reports. Did Steve Jobs drown their puppies before running off with their wives? Because Consumer Reports clearly has become biased in their reporting of the iPhone. And this is really clear with the BS post they put up on the 11th. They recommended against the Verizon iPhone because it is "middle aged" - ie a new one is likely coming in June - and yes we know that - but that there are new versions of phones from all other manufactures released in shorter periods was not mentioned. Mac Observer had this great observation to make about Consumer Reports "Middle Aged" comments. By the reasoning they supplied, no one should ever buy a new phone unless it’s the iPhone, and only when it’s a few weeks old. Consumer Reports also pointed out the issues with CDMA - but did not say that is true of all the smart phones on Verizon. And the craziest of their issues was: "the iPhone 4 has a 3.5-inch screen in an era where the number of smart phones with 4-inch-plus screens has swelled" Huh - What the Frack? Did Consumer Reports mention the Retina display has better resolution than the two 4 inch smart phones on Verizon - NOPE. And did they mention those two 4 inch smart phones came out in June & September - You know being "Middle Aged" That was also be a big NOPE. Did Consumer Reports - report about the lack of Crapware on the iPhone on Verizon - and that it is the only SmartPhone on Verizon without the Crapware - NOPE. They did point out there are 4G Phones out there and listed the CDMA iPhone as a disadvantage compared to 4G. Did Consumer Reports talk about the sparse coverage of 4G at this time? or the battery sucking issues with 4G phones? or that 4G phones on Verizon will not be out until mid-2011?. NOPE, NOPE and NOPE!!! What did they report about of substance? Well that is not clear - other than they don't like the iPhone 4 and they miss their puppies and wives. When all is said and done I think Antenna Gate and the iPhone 4 will have taken a much bigger toll on Consumer Reports than Apple. At the post on Consumer Reports - the comments are filled with people saying they are canceling their subscriptions to Consumer Reports - and Rightly so.

The Verizon iPhone rumor started back on November 27th 2007. I have since that time been saying 2012 for the Verizon iPhone. I am now changing my tune and officially jumping on the Verizon iPhone rumor Bandwagon. I think the Verizon iPhone will be announced on 1/11/11 at 11:00 AM ET at Verizon's Special event - Just 1141 days since the original rumor surfaced. Here are the reasons why I think this will finally happen.
1. The Verizon Event is 2 days after CES - why not have the event at CES with all the press there already. It would mean the event needs to be something that does not fit in with CES - Like an Apple Announcement.
5. AT&T just lowered the pricing of the iPhone 3GS to $49, plus you had the lower prices in December for the iPhone from Radio Shack, Best Buy, Sams Club and Radio Shack again. Seems like AT&T is trying to get as many people locked into two more years as they could before the Verizon announcement.
The Stars are all aligning for a Verizon iPhone announcement on 1/11/11 at 11:00 AM. If Verizon does not announce the iPhone at the event, they will have jumped the PR shark even more so than Apple did with their lame Beatles Announcement last year. But at least with that Apple had the good foresight not to invite the press to a special event - just a web page.
