Hi Rob,
I wanted to share an app review and a sketch with you and the TII audience.
I am a photographer who loves sketching and painting. I even minored in illustration in college.
I recently downloaded autodesk's sketchbook mobile app and I can honestly say I love using this app to draw and sketch out ideas. I've tried out many other drawing apps including etch-a-sketch and sketches. Sketchbook feels like it was made for an artist who are used to professional drawing programs. It has a wide variety of Photoshop-like brushes. The color selection tool is also well implemented with a color picker to sample colors already in a drawing.
Another amazing feature in this app is layers. This is done perfectly as it allows you to move layer order and show/hide layers.
This is a great value at $3 and there is also a free version to try out. I think this is great coming from major company like autodesk where they make a great app and charge a great price.
-Ken
PS. The image has 5 layers.

Check Out This New "LeapPad" For Kids! (I know it's not apple related - but I'm thinking about buying one ... to save the wear and tear from my son to my IPad).
LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Green.
Hi Robin,
Save $20 and get the iPad Defender series case for your iPad.
And then take $5 from the $20 you saved and get the Bubcap.
Then take the extra $15 and buy some nice educational apps for your son.
The other nice advantage of the iPad over the leapfrog - NO STYLUS!!!!! (which means no stylus to loose).
Regards,
Rob W

I love the podcast and I am a regular listener since I purchased my 3GS iPhone over 1.5 years ago. I also listen to a number of other iPad specific podcasts since getting my iPad2 in early April. I have not heard any reference to the grim discovery I encountered over the past few days. My business partner and I both purchased 3G 64GB models.
We have both recently noticed (or more accurately paid closer attention) some inconsistent 3G data usage. While sitting in the office connected to WiFi we both occasionally watch video podcasts or movies on the HBO Go or ESPN TV apps. If the phone rings or something requiring specific attention arises, we simply pause and/or close the smart cover. The other day, while the iPad was in this condition, the alert tone that an email had arrived sounded but was ignored for about an hour until there was time to resume the broadcast. Upon checking the email, AT&T had sent 2 emails 1 minute apart. The first one stated that only 9% (approx. 22.5MB of the 250MB) of the monthly data was available. The next email that came 1 minute later stated that there was no longer any data remaining for the month and gave an option to pay for more. All of this while the iPad was setting on the desk in “sleep” mode with the smart cover closed for almost 2 hours.
This prompted a phone call to AT&T to get an explanation of how their system could possibly download 23MB of data over 3G to the iPad while connected to WiFi and in sleep mode in a 1 minute span. Their explanation that the emails may not be accurately time stamped and it could have actually happened over a half hour apart. When asked to prove the data usage, the answer was it is not possible unless an annual plan was purchased. Only then would we get an itemized monthly statement listing data usage. Upon further argument, we were told that once the iPad smart cover is closed, WiFi is disconnected and 3G takes over. All apps running in the background will then be running on 3G.
This was difficult to believe so a phone call to Apple was then made in the sole attempt to get proof that this was not true in an effort to further confront AT&T. Unfortunately the phone call to Apple went to 3 levels deep in tech supervision to get the same story. In fact this does happen when the smart cover is closed and the only resolution is to close all apps before closing the smart cover. Otherwise while watching a video or podcast, when the smart cover is closed the remaining portion of the stream will download on 3G even though a WiFi connection is present and available. We tested our units and indeed if you open the smart cover quickly, you can see the 3G turn into the WiFi symbol at the top left corner. It appears the same thing happens when the power button is used to put the unit to sleep.
I find this very difficult to understand why this would be the case. I assume Apple’s stance would be to conserve battery strength, WiFi would shut down. What if you do not have 3G? We do not have access to this model of iPad to run tests. I am even more surprised that I have not heard of this issue from any of the podcasts I regularly listen to. Most importantly, I hope that you can help spread the word that this issue exists so everyone can get a warning before this happens to them. Is this a case of the “not so “smart cover or is “sleep” now a costly nightmare?
Regards,
John F

Hi John,
This is actually something people have also seen with the original iPad 3G (obviously not the smartcover - but the regular sleep mode).
The only real solution I have heard of was to keep Cellular data turned off when you know you will be near Wifi. Not an ideal solution.
You might want to check out the app - DataMan. It helps track where and when data is used on your 3G iPad.
Regards,
Rob W

Hi Rob,
I told my 10 year old daughter about the art work on your show so she also made one. She made this with Doodle Draw which is a free app. The art may be a little to graphic and I understand if you can't use it, she does play grand theft auto a little. Her nam is Sydni from Sacramento, CA.

One new feature in iOS 5 is custom vibrations. This will allow you to set different vibration patterns for your contacts. To set up do the following:
settings --> general --> accessibility --> Custom Vibrations --- Then Turn to "On"
Then go to your sounds settings.
settings --> sounds --> Vibration --> Create New Vibration ---- Then tap on the screen to create the custom pattern you want.
You can play back the pattern you created to make sure it is ok. If you want to start over tap "Record". Once you create a pattern you like - Tap "Save" and name as you like. Say "Wife" as example. You will then see it in the list under Custom.
Then go to your contacts App and select a contact and tap edit - you will then be able to assign the new custom vibration to that person.
This is a nice feature for those that are in lots of meetings when you have to mute your phone and also need to keep it in your pocket. Now you can set up custom vibrations for your Wife, Boss, Kids, Significant other, Key Client,.... And you will know by the vibration pattern if it is one of them that called when you were in that meeting.
Thanks to Larry in CT for the heads up on this one.

Hi Rob,
I've browsed your FAQ's and visited some unlock sites, but still a bit confused. I have a 3gs with version 4.2.1 firmware and baseband 5.15.04. I want to unlock the phone for use on other carriers. The latest solution I found was to jailbreak and use the iPad2 baseband which will prevent any later undo of the jailbreak/unlock. Are there any other firmware versions I should convert to before proceeding with jailbreak/unlock? Is the 4.2.1 firmware a deadend regarding any new development work for jailbreak/unlock solutions?
Regards,
Doug S.
Hi Doug,
My understanding is that you actually want to be at baseband 6.15.00 and use ultrasn0w 1.2 for unlocking. Here are links for a jailbreak tutorials that will get you to the proper baseband - Pwnage Tutorial and Redsn0w Tutorial.
Once you are re-jailbroke and updated to the proper baseband you need to do the following:
1. In Cydia add the following Source - http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com
To do this Tap on "Manage" tap at the bottom of Cydia and then tap on "Sources". Then Tap on "Edit" and then "Add". In the Pop up box type or paste in - http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com - and the Tap "Add Source"
2. Search for - ultrasn0w 1.2 - and install it. Once it is installed your iPhone will be unlocked - no need to launch the app.
3. Re-boot (turn off and back on) your iPhone. It should then restart in an unlocked state and you should be able to use your iPhone on any GSM carrier.
Let me know if you have any questions per the above or any issues.
Regards,
Rob W

Getting WiFi Sync to actually you know Sync seems to be a little more confusing then expected based on emails.
First - You need to have iOS 5 Beta 2 or later installed on your iOS device to get Wifi Sync to work. You also need Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later and you need iTunes 10.5 Beta 2 installed on your computer.
Second - Before you can get Wifi Sync to work you need to connect your iOS device to your computer via USB and then under the iOS device on iTunes in the Summary Tab you need to select under "Options" - "Sync over Wi-Fi connection. If that is not checked you will not be able to sync wirelessly. Once you select this, click "Sync" in iTunes and wait for the back up and sync to finish.
When it says the Sync is complete - You can then disconnect the USB cable from your iOS device.
Go To the Settings App.
Settings --> General --> iTunes Sync
You should at this point see a button with "Sync Now" in it in dark bold black. Tap that button and it should start a wireless sync. If it is a grey "Sync Now" it means you do not have a wireless connection.
Reasons for the Grey "Sync Now"
1. You don't have iTunes open on your computer
2. Your computer is asleep
3. Your computer and iPad are not on the same Network.
4. You are still running iOS 5 Beta 2 or another later version of the Beta and it is just beta software so it may be a bug. In this case reconnect your iPad via USB and do a sync - and then disconnect the USB cable and try do a wireless sync again.
Despite previous rumors and posts - you do NOT need your iOS device connected to a power source to Sync Wirelessly - so it is a true Wireless Sync - when it works for the Betas.

Hey Rob!
I have been listening to your podcast since day one and have really enjoyed the insight. I feel the information you provide keeps me ahead of the curve.
I have attached a painting that my daughter Alex made on my iPhone using Brushes. She is eight and has just gotten her first iPhone, a fully functional 8gig 2g. She loves it!
We would enjoy seeing this artwork on a future episode of tii! Keep up the excellence, Rob!

For the devs and those that broke down and got a dev account so they can get new versions of iOS early - well good news. iOS 5 Beta 2 is now available.
Some quick notes - you need to install iTunes 10.5 beta 2 first on your mac. Then install iOS 5 beta 2.
Key changes so far:
1. It seems a little more stable. The Photo app is not crashing each time I delete a picture on my iPad - not every time but still sometimes - which is much better than beta 1 which seemed to crash each time you tried to delete a picture.
2. Wireless sync now works - It does require Mac OS X 10.6.8
More info here on the Beta 2 update

Don't you love it when someone says they hate talking about something and then they go ahead and do it regardless. Yes - this is one of those cases. With “this” being in regards to patents relating to iOS devices. In some cases patents work for Apple and in some cases they work against Apple (See my article on patent trolls, or read the way to numerous articles out there on Apple caving recently to Nokia’s patent portfolio and agreeing to pay a large lump sum for past sales of iOS devices and a license going forward for the sale of new iOS devices). Why I hate talking about patent issues is that they very rarely directly affect the end users. Does anyone that purchased an iOS device really care about the Nokia / Apple agreement? No. Going forward it will not stop or restrict any end users from being able to purchase an iOS device and it will not likely change the pricing of the iOS devices. (Apple is not likely going to raise the price of the iPad from $499 to $504.63 to cover additional license fees.)
Another patent story making its way around the tech circuit is the patent Apple applied for that would allow Apple to turn off the camera of your iOS device if you were trying to record at an event like a concert or movie where that venue is equipped with the tech to transmit an IR signal that could be picked up by your phone and keep the camera from working. This story has gotten legs such that it has crossed out of the tech circuit and made its way over to the political circuit. Some are afraid that governments could abuse this technology. I even received an email from SaveTheInternet.com railing against Apple and Steve Jobs for “creating” this technology. I am usually in full support of SaveTheInternet.com but this time not so much. The patent application they are complaining about was submitted back in December of 2009. Apple does not wait for patents to be issued to make tech available – in many cases they will apply for the patent after the tech or product is already out in the marketplace. After all if a technology is really worth using Apple wants to get it out as fast as possible and does not want to wait for the USPTO to finish up their end of things.
This is something that is lost on all those rumor sites that do articles about an upcoming feature or technology that Apple will have in a future iOS device because Apple has just submitted or received a patent for said technology. Again if that feature was really worth being in an iOS device the vast majority of the time it would already be in there. That seems to be the case with the “Camera Kill Switch” patent application, the technology is not in iOS devices now and this is likely just one of many patent applications a company like Apple will file just because they can – not because they plan to use the technology. Having a strong patent portfolio is hugely important in the tech world, which is why Google is starting the bidding for all of Nortel’s patents at $900 Million and why the final price paid will likely be well over twice that.
Another Apple patent that was just issued – Patent 7,966,578 – is also causing a lot of buzz in the tech world. Depending on whom you believe Patent 7,966,578 could mean either the end of all of Apples smartphone competition in the US or it is simply just another over reaching patent issued by the USPTO and will be revoked in short order. As with most things the truth is probably somewhere in-between. Apple will likely use this patent to get license fees from other makers of smartphones – but is not likely to try and force out every other touchscreen smartphone from the US. That would likely cause a ruling against the Apple Patent (Outside of violence the US government is usually against monopolies). The basic gist of this latest patent covers touch screen smartphones and the gestures you use to control the iOS device and how you manipulate content in frames. In reality at best this will mean Apple gets some revenue from their competition. (Hi Nokia remember that settlement you just won - yeah so does Apple.) This patent is an example of a technology that was already in place for many months before the patent application was submitted in December of 2007, about 11 months after the iPhone was announced and 6 months after it was available for purchase.
The reason I don’t like to talk about patents on my podcast is that patents generally fall into one of two categories. First are those covering what has already been done (eg. The Touch Screen Patent 7,966,578). Or second those covering what could theoretically be done - but has not been done - and likely never will be done. Which is why I don't generally cover patents, you already either are using the tech or will never see the tech and the results of any fights about patents between the OEM’s rarely if ever trickle down to the end user. Something to think about the next time you get an email or read an article that says the sky is falling due to a patent application or award.

Hey Rob!
I bought a UDID on eBay and installed iOS5 because I was really curious... I'm enjoying it but its a little buggy as you know. Do they release other betas on the way to the gold release in the fall? If so, how does one find out about those? And is there a fairly easy way to go back to iOS4? I probably should have considered that before I put 5 on my phone, but oh well!
Thanks, love the show.
Its a 3GS.
Mike
Hi Mike,
Per your questions. Yes, Tii, No
Yes - they will release new betas as we progress. Probably should be a new one in the next week or so.
Tii - Listen to the show to find out about new releases of the beta - since you don't have a developer account - which is where you would normally find out about it. FYI - you probably will have to buy the new betas as well.
No - Nope no easy way to go back - Apples warns about that on their developer page. Not impossible - I have heard of some people that were able to go back - but it is very technical process - or so they claimed.

Rob W

If you are looking to get more apps in the dock at the bottom of your screen to allow quick and easy access to your favorite apps - one thing you can do is jailbreak and install the app - 5 icon dock - which per its name allows 5 icons in the bottom dock.
However if you want more than 5 iCons on your iPhone or iPod touch or more than 6 on your iPad - one thing you can do is to simply put a folder in the dock. Then you can put 12 of your favorite apps in each folder.
Thanks to Geoffrey in Huston for originally suggesting this.

Hi Rob,
I'm always filling out web forms that ask for my email address. Is there anyway to set up hotkeys or shortcuts that would fill those forms w/ a single keystroke or two. I could copy and paste but that seems so not iPhone.
Thanks for ur help, keep up the good work.
Regards,

Hi John,
Yes you can do this by doing the following:
settings --> safari --> autofill --> Use Contact Info - Turn On and select you from the Contact info.
Warning there are some reports that autofill can be maliciously manipulated - as such you may want to keep the other part of Autofill turned off - and that is Names and Passwords.

I love the show and I'm looking forward to the next one.

================
Hello Rob,
I´m writing you from the beautiful Medellin, Colombia, though I am from the awesome Monterrey, Mexico.
I want to share with you and all your listeners a great app and software for note taking. This software is for making mind maps, its called iMindMap and comes in different versions. There is for Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and I think that also for Linux. This software is almost for anyone. From a student that want to take notes at school, as for the teacher to organize the year program, or for an airplane company that is building the next supersonic aircraft. I use it in the inside of the back cover of all the books I read to make a resume of what I read, so when I get back to the book, I don´t have to read it again. I also use it to organize my agenda, my life and my ideas.
The idea behind the mind maps, is that is easier for the brain to recognize and remember what you wrote. If someone doesn´t know what a mind map is, please check it in wikipedia for a more detail explanation.
I get to know mind maps in a photoreading course, and then buy the book from Tony Buzan, the developer of mind mapping, and since then been using it.
Best regards,
LARGA

Rob,
My windows vista laptop crashed earlier this week - and I lost all of my pictures.
Luckily, I sync'd all of my pictures onto my IPad previously. Is there a way to move all of my pictures from my IPad back onto my laptop? (Now that my laptop has been restored to factory settings). Maybe an app or software?
Love the show!!!!!
Robin
Hi Robin,
A couple of programs are out there that will allow you to transfer photos directly from your iOS device to your computer.
PhoneView is one - we talked about in Eps 74, 83 & 96.
Another program is called:
i-Funbox - and we talked about it in Eps 83 & 97
At a min I suggest listening to Ep 83 before purchasing one of these programs.

I have action menu from cydia on my phone and once I turned it off from my settings menu my iBooks no longer shuts down. I found my answer surfing google as always. It seems to be a common issue. I hope this helps Mitch.

Hi Rob,
I just listened to episode 178 in which you described all the new announcements coming out of WWDC. Great rundown of all the new features, but I think it’s important not to lose sight of the forest for the trees. What I didn’t hear was any kind of analysis of what all these new features mean for the future of iOS, the future of computing, and the future of mobile.
Personally, I was blown away by how with iOS 5 and iCloud, Apple is transforming mobile computing. Apple appears to have looked at all of the hassles that currently exist with mobile computing, and made them simply vanish into the cloud.
The most significant aspect of all this for me is that--assuming this all works the way Apple has laid it out, and I believe it will as Apple has been laying the groundwork for years—the end user will never need to know how to access the iCloud or how to look for their stuff in the cloud. All their email, calendars, contacts, documents, books, photos, music (and I would assume before long their TV shows and movies) will just magically appear and be updated on all their devices without the user having to lift a finger. The iCloud will be completely invisible to the end user. For the user, the term “iCloud” will merely be the answer to the question, “How the heck do the latest versions of all my stuff just magically appear on all my Apple devices instantaneously?” The solution is so simple a child can use it, totally seamless, perfectly elegant, and will surely seem magical—the quintessential Apple solution.
For me, it will eliminate most of the frustrations I’ve been having as I’ve struggled to maintain my family’s various Apple devices—2 MacBooks, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iPad Classics. With over 300 applications on my iPhone 4 alone, it has been a constant hassle to keep the apps updated—problem solved with automatic delta updates. It has been a pain to keep all our devices updated with the latest iOS release—problem solved with auto updates. It has been confusing trying to keep all the calendars and contacts current on all devices—problem solved automatically. It has been a nightmare trying to remember which device contained which version of which documents, songs, and photos—problem solved automatically. All the back-ups of our various devices sometimes take up over 25 GB of storage on my older MacBook Pro’s 80 GB hard drive—causing me to be constantly confronting a full hard drive—problem solved by automatically backing up to the iCloud instead of my Mac’s hard drive.
This is a solution that only Apple could implement with its tightly integrated hardware, software, and now cloud services, although of course other companies will struggle in vain to emulate its simplicity and ease of use. Once the iCloud infrastructure is firmly in place, I can see Apple coming out with a series of new devices over the next 10 years that automatically tie in—automatically syncing and updating in real time. And the fact that it’s all free (except for the very reasonable iTunes Match service for non-Apple music) makes it a built-in feature of whatever Apple device you purchase. I think when people start experiencing these services in action, it will encourage them to add to their personal ecosystem of Apple products, and will highlight the shortcomings of the Android system. I don’t now if I can wait until fall to get my hands on iOS 5—I may need to look for the link you mentioned or pay the $100 for the developer preview.
My hat is off to Steve Jobs and the rest of the Apple crew for pulling us into the next age of mobile computing and communications.
Any many thanks to you, Rob, for the great job you do in keeping your listeners informed about all the latest and greatest from Cupertino!

If you are typing a word not in your dictionary and Auto correct changes it to another word there is a quick way to get back the original word.
If you backspace to the right of the word you will see a pop up with what you originally typed in there. Just tap the pop up and your original word will be put back.
Thanks to Steve in Tenn for originally calling in with that tip.

Hi Rob,
I got a strange message on my iPhone 4 today. At the top in the center is a message "It Safe Mode". WTF is that?
Help
Darren M
Hi Darren,
This is a message you would see if you are jailbroken. If you actually tap on the message you will get a pop over that says that the Springboard has just crashed and the "MobileSubstrate did not cause this problem". Which seems a little defensive on the part of the pop over.
What you need to do is reboot your iPhone and the issue should go away. If it does not - then you need to uninstall any Cydia apps you recently installed. As one of your recent installed Cydia apps is likely causing the issue from clearing up after a reboot.
Regards,
Rob W

Hi Rob,
Not great talent, I'll admit, but it's a cool app. Check out TypeDrawing at the app store. Type in your text of choir, pick a font & background then drawto your heart's content. Not bad for only $0.99 $1.99.
Have fun,

Hi Rob,
I'm new to the developer scene & and have paid the $99.
If I try the iOS 5 software out and put it on my iPad or iPhone, will it wipe out what I have on there and make it like a new phone ......or leave my folders and apps the way they are?
I'm thinking it will wipe everything out.
:-)
Thanks.
Scott
Hi Scott,
You should do a backup first.
Then when you restore the phone to the new iOS version - you will have an option to use the previous back up.
When you do that - all will be as it was. (In theory) Actually for both my iPad and iPhone 3GS - both restored to the previous back up with no issues. iOS 5 Beta - has been the least beta like beta for a first beta since Apple started making the betas available - IMO.
Regards and welcome to the iOS dev world.
Rob W
PS - Please keep me updated on your dev efforts.

I am starting a new addition to the VIP section - I am going back and finding all the artwork sent in that was created on iOS devices and putting them up one at a time to show the artwork and mention which Apps were used to create said artwork. Plus I will also put up some photos and other images that never made it in the Album artwork.
Hi Rob,
Here's a today in iPhone poster/art u made on my ipod touch,I used a app called karma art and it costs 59p or 99 cents I think it's good fun and good value for money.
Please show this in your next Podcast!
Many thanks,

Hey rob,
Quick question maybe you can answer. I heard something about apple adding " try before you buy" to the apps store. The only thing is I can not see any subject /category/tab in the app store that says it. Can you help? Or your listeners explain how to find or unlock this feature?
Demetre in NYC
Hi Demetre,
http://mashable.com/2010/08/05/apple-try-before-you-buy-app-store/
This is one of those stories that kind of gets mis-reported from time to time.
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMultiRoom?fcId=385787693
Reality is the try before you buy is just a collection of apps that have both a free / lite version and a paid version. This is not a feature for all apps - which often what people think when they hear try before you buy - who would have thunk.

A while back on an old episode someone was asking about apps to track your travels. I should have paid attention as I need that type of app now. Do you remember what apps people recommended.
Thanks

Hello John,
That was back on ep 140 they asked and Ep 141 when we talked about that and the apps people recommended were:

Hey Rob!
I am wondering if there will be a leak of the developer copy of ios5 on the internet somewhere? I am dying to get my hands on it!!
Regards,
Laura
Hi Laura,
Yes you can get a hold of it and install with out a dev account.
Gizmodo - had this Article on how to do it.
And more info here from osXdaily.
However neither show you where to download the files - just what to do once you do find them on the web.
To find the file to download go here.
All I can say is best of luck - and I can not recommend you installing the app without a dev account. You never know what will / can happen. Note: do not update to iOS 5 with the above method if you travel at all and / or need your Phone for work reasons.

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.

Hi Rob
You said on a previous show that you use Frash for the iPad to play Flash. I can't find it in Cydia (under the search). Is it under a different name?
Thanks Mitch
Hi Mitch,
That is because I need to mention whenever I talk about Frash - that it is not in the main repository on Cydia - You need to add the Source Repository it is found in.
The instructions are as follows:
- Launch Cydia and tap the "Manage" button
- Tap "Sources"
- Tap the "Edit" button (top-right)
- Tap "Add" (top-left)
- In the pop-up box, type http://repo.benm.at/
- Tap "Add Source" to close the box
- Tap the "Done" button (top-right)
- Go to the "Search" section in Cydia and search for "Frash"
- Install the app.
Done!
Have fun.

Hey Rob,
I have a question about buying apps on Cydia. Is it safe. You have to sign into Facebook or Goggle account and it takes you to paid via Paypal or Amazon.. but is it still safe
Thanks
Jose
In San Jose
Hi Jose,
It definitely is not as safe as paying through iTunes - but it is likely not any less safe then when you hand your credit card to a strange waiter or waitress and they disappear with it for 5 minutes.
I have not heard any reports of someone getting ripped off by one of the apps they have paid for.

Hi Rob,
Do you know what this circle means where I should either see a wifi, edge or 3G icon?
I was listening to pandora at the time over 3G or what should be 3G but is apparently O. But it was kind of choppy which is odd because it usually works well with most signal strengths.
Just curious.
-Alfred
Hi Alfred,
If even EDGE isn’t available, the iPhone will still try to connect via GPRS (General Packet Radio System) an even older, slower 2G protocol shown with an O symbol.
Looks like you were on a slower than slow connection.

Hi Rob,
Is there an app jailbroken or not that allows you to spoof where an email looks like it is coming from?
Regards,
Mike in NY
Hi Mike,
I am sure you only have legally legit reasons to do this. Like playing a prank on your brother or sister. Because we can not condone you sending an email to BGR showing it is coming from steve@apple.com and saying the iPhone 5 will be released this week. That would be wrong.
That all said - there is a jailbreak app that would allow you to do this - it is called - pwn mail - just search "pwn mail" in Cydia - it is a paid app. I can't personally attest to the app - but others have written in about it in the past. I would suggest you check out episode 143 it was talked about in that episode.
Ep 143 of Tii
Good luck - and remember only use this power for good.

There are many different ways to extend battery life for your iOS device - this list is some of the key ways you can help get more life from each charge. If you iOS device is not making it through the day - the following tips should help you get more time out of each charge.
1. Turn down the brightness of the display.
Settings --> Brightness
Then turn off Auto-Brightness - which is really Auto make brighter. Then adjust the brightness to the lowest setting you feel comfortable with.
2. Turn off Blue-Tooth.
Settings --> General --> Bluetooth
Then turn off Bluetooth. Going with your wired headphones will save you battery life during the day. Plus getting rid of that bluetooth earpiece will keep you from looking like Lando's PA.
3. Turn on Autolock
Settings --> General --> Autolock
Then set it for 1 or 2 minutes. Yes it is might seem like a pain to have to unlock your phone each time you need it - but at least it will still have juice left to use.
4. Turn off Location Services
Settings --> Location Services
If you can turn off all location services. If however like most people you do need location services for apps like the Maps app - then manually select which apps you want to allow to use location services. You will be surprised by how many apps you have that use location services and the more you can turn off the better.
5. Close out all apps running / parked in the background.
Double Tap the home button. Then hold down on one of the apps that are in the App tray. Then go to town clicking on all the red X's. Apps like Skype that are parked in the background can still chew up lots of juice from your battery.
6. Turn off Wifi
Settings --> Wifi
If you are going to be out and about and don't plan to be using Wifi - turn it off. Even if you think you will be using it - turn it off now and then back on when you are in range of your trusted Wifi connection.
7. Turn off Notifications
Settings --> Notifications
Ok - other than the Tii App do you really need Notifications? Ok maybe for a couple of other apps. Same as with Location Services - find the Apps you really want to get Notifications for and turn off the rest of them.
8. Push e-mail
Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Fetch New Data
If you have Push e-mail set up for any email accounts you can change it to only check for new emails when you actually have the email program open.
9. Use the Jailbreak App - Auto3G
This app works by switching to Edge mode and turning off your 3G radio when you lock your phone and then switching back to 3G when you unlock. Not saying this is something Apple should have built in on their own - but.... Maybe it will be in iOS 5.
10. Turn off 3G (gasp!!!)
Settings --> General --> Network --> Enable 3G
Turn off 3G - Yikes!!! - Ok - this is a drastic step - But if you don't jailbreak then item 9 above is something you can't do and if you need the phone to be just a phone for most of the day, to occasionally check email and to listen to your favorite podcast. Then turning off 3G will actually save you quite a bit of juice.
Granted doing everything above pretty much dumbs down your smartphone and you would in many cases be better off getting a battery case like one from Mophie. But even doing just a few items above can help extend your battery life more than enough to get through a full day.
If you know of any battery saving tips not included - please include them in the comments below.

Hi Rob,
A while back you mentioned a site that had Pay as you go Sim cards you could get if you planned to travel internationally. What is that site?
Thanks
Ken B
Hi Ken,
The site is Pay as you Go SIM with Data Wiki - found HERE
Of course you will need to have an iPhone that is Unlocked for this to work.
Good luck.

Hi Rob,
I decided to finally go from jailbroke 4.1 to the new 4.3.3 since you put out such a nice tutorial. I am still a windows user. Switching over as I can afford to. Anyhoo.... I use winRar as a compression program on my pc and it keeps giving me this error when I try to unzip the Redsnow jailbreak...
! C:\Users\Tommy\Downloads\redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc16.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Just wondering if you had seen this problem from anyone else.
Thanks,
