iOS 5 countdown: Day 22- iTech Event

Welcome to day 22! todays post will be about a Cydia tweak called 3G Unrestricter. As the name implies, it is an app that tricks your iPhone or iPad into thinking you are on Wi-fi when you really are on your 3G network. This is useful for different things such as making the most of many apps that require connectivity and since your iPhone and iPad are mobile devices, it's nice to be able to use Skype and Facetime on the go! One of the features of 3G Unrestrictor is the ability to choose which apps you want to urestrict, but be careful though, because some 3G plans cost a fortune, so make sure you know what you are using. You will find it in the BigBoss source in Cydia (You must be jailbroken). If you need any help, contact me at itechwonderland@gmail.com.

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 21- iTech Event

Welcome to day 21 of the countdown to iOS 5. Todays post will be all about the useful Cydia tweak, SBSettings. SBSettings is one of the most useful tweak I have ever come across (and trust me, I've seen hundreds) and many people will agree it is the best tweak ever!

But whats all the hype about? SBSettings is basically a tweak that you can access from your springboard, lock screen or any app that shows your device's toolbar by swiping once at the toolbar. You will see a window slide down with numerous shortcuts such as Wi-fi, powering off, terminal, SSH, brightness adjustments, you can access them all with just one tap! SBSettings saves users a lot of time and provides them with many options such as a customizable interface to suit your needs.

To get it yourself (for free, of course!), you must be jailbroken. Just navigate to BigBoss on Cydia and scroll down to SBSettings, tap install and say hello to convenience and time-saving! Overall 5/5 and this is a must have tweak for everyone!

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 20- iTech Event

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 19- iTech Event

Welcome to day 19 of the countdown to iOS 5. Todays post will be a cool tweak to make your iPhone springboard appear to have hologram-like apps that follow the movement of your hand. (Note- this tweak is available through Cydia (Jailbroken devices) and is called 'DeepEnd' for iPod touch 4G, iPhone 4G and iPad 2).

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 14- iTech Event

Welcome to day 15 of the countdown to iOS 5's release date. Today's post will be showcasing some popular rumors of the iPod Touch 5.

3G- This is a very popular ask for the iPod Touch because many applications and options that require internet. Since the iPod Touch is a portable device and many places don't have a constant Wi-Fi connection, the introduction of 3G will expand the horizons of the iPod Touch even more!

Screen- Unlike the iPhone and the iPad, the iPod Touch is classed as a gaming device. But to make the most out of many of the apps, a bigger screen is a must. A larger screen will help broaden the iPod's capabilities and the capabilities of the upcoming iOS 5.

Specs- Larger capacity, faster RAM, the works.

Thats all folks! Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for another post about iOS 5!

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 14- iTech Event

Following yesterdays post on iPhone 5 rumors, todays countdown post will be giving you the lowdown on iPad 3 rumors-


Name- Rumor has it that the 2011 iPad will not be an iPad 3, but an upgraded version of the iPad 2 that isn't worthy of being called the iPad 3. This upgrade may be called the iPad HD or the iPad 2 Pro.



Release Date- The Release date of the iPad 3 may come in October 2011 because parts manufacturers are already claiming to get orders from Apple around this time. The next generation iPad may also come this fall if Apple decides to release both iOS 5 and the iPad together.

Specs- Some rumors are floating around claiming that the iPad 3 will be 4G LTE equipped. The iPad may also have calling abilities and most probably upgraded RAM and capacity. The iPad may (this is a very daring rumor) come in different colors, but this may just be a false rumor.

If the iPad 3 is released alongside iOS 5, it will probably optimized for the iCloud services. Thank you to http://ipad3newsblog.com/ for an insight into some of these rumors.

OSX Lion is out!

Yes, The day has finally come! Lion has been released to the public alongside the new-and-improved Macbook Air! Are you ready to upgrade? Read the following instructions to make sure your Mac can upgrade to iOS Lion!

BEFORE YOU START: YOU MUST BACK UP YOUR MAC ON TIME MACHINE OR YOU WILL LOOSE EVERYTHING(unless you install Lion over SL, but some apps may conflict with Lion)!

1.Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. How are you supposed to know that? Click the Apple icon in the top left corner and go to 'About this Mac'. The information you need is on the first window that pops up. Got that done? Head onto the next step...

2. Do you have the latest version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8)? Check by going to 'About this Mac', and under the Apple logo, you will see your OS number in gray letters (It should look like 10.6.___). Got 10.6.8? If not, you will have to software update by clicking on the second option in the Apple Menu.

3. After that, all that is left to do is to head on down to the Mac App Store and buy your copy of Lion for only $29.99. Follow the onscreen instructions and your good to go!

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 13- iTech Event

Many iPhone fans may have heard rumors floating around of the next iPhone release, the iPhone 5/4S. This mythical device is rumored to surface at the same time as iOS 5, which will reveal itself this September. But what will this iPhone 5/4S be like? What will Apple change? The following are rumors about the specs of iPhone 5/4S.

Full HD- Since the iPad 2 supports full 1080p HD, the iPhone 5 is likely to follow in it's footsteps



Tech Specs- It is most likely that memory, capacity, processor speed will be upgraded and a new antenna and larger screen will be included. The screen also has a high chance of being curved after reports of apple buying hundreds of glass-cutting machines surfaced

NFC- Apple may also include NFC (Near Field Communication) technology in the new iPhone, enabling it to act as a credit card and a debit card all in one! TechRader claims that Apple has already patented an e-wallet icon on the homescreen!

But what does this mean for iOS 5? Sources claim that the iPhone 5/4S will have cloud based technologies, which link it to iOS 5's iCloud. But is this a valid connection? Only time will tell...

Thats all folks! Don't forget to follow us on twitter to get all the latest info as it comes of the press!

 

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 12- iTech Event

Welcome to day 12 of the countdown to the release date of iOS 5 which will come out this fall.

Big news everyone! A MacRumours user has recently discovered what seems to be leaked information about iOS 5. This was discovered when the user asked iTunes to check his app library for available updates, the update page reveals a striking message! The picture below is a screenshot of this message.

Apple has also reportedly halted all iTunes updates until this security leak is fixed. But what does this mean for the general public that is waiting for the release of iOS 5? Will this security flaw mean that iOS 5 is being released earlier than we thought? The only way to find out is to wait...

iTech App Review- Fieldrunners

Tower defense is probably one of the best known and enjoyed arcade-styled games on the planet. You could probably ask anyone what Tower Defense is and they could give you a detailed answer stating how you have to place turrets in a strategic fashion to stop the invaders from reaching your base. But what sets Fieldrunners apart from the literally millions of similar tower defense games out there? The only way to find this out is to test the game.

When you first start up the game, you will see a sleek and stylish menu. With a few more taps, you will be asked to choose from 6 different arenas, 2 are free, but the other 4 need to be unlocked via an in-app purchase of $1.29. This is one of the drawbacks of the game, but after you play on of the free maps, you will see that it is totally worth the price!

When you choose a map, it will take you to a beautifully rendered scene. This is your map. But where are all the tracks that the bad guys go on? I hear you ask. The answer to that is that Fieldrunners gameplay is quite different to normal TD games. Instead of having a curly path that you have to base your towers around, you have to make your own path with your towers. This gives Fieldrunners the extra edge and blows other TD games out of the water.

Apart from the traditional track, everything you would expect in a Tower Defense game is right where you would expect it; upgrading weapons, multiple weapon choices, waves of enemies, last minute dashes you name it, its there. Overall, this game has fantastic gameplay, but I must admit, it is pretty hard to play on iPods and iPhones, but on iPads, it's like a dream come true! It is really worth it and I would recommend it to everyone!

Price                    - iPhone ($4.19) iPad ($10.99)
Category             - Games
Current Version  -1.5.3
Size                     -14.0 MB
Seller                   -Subatomic Studios
iTech Rating       - ***** (The price for the paid maps is quite high, but otherwise a great app!)

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 8- iTech Event

Today marks the eight day of iTech Wonderland's campaign to bring you a countdown to the release of the long-awaited iOS 5. Every day, we will be bringing you information, tips, updates and quirks to prepare your device for iOS 5.

iPhone, iPod and iPad users may have come across 'shelf' wallpapers when looking for good wallpapers for their device. Basically, a shelf wallpaper is a wallpaper that is in sync with your app icons and effectively making them look like they are sitting on a shelf. This is a very cool effect, especially if you find an awesome wallpaper to go with it. To help you to make your device look snazzy and unique, the team at iTech Wonderland has compiled a list of the 5 best shelf wallpapers for iPhones and iPods (We will have one for iPads tomorrow, so stay tuned!)

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 3- iTech Event

Jailbreak apps on iOS 5 Beta

Welcome to the third day of the countdown (or countup) to the release of the long-awaited, iOS 5. Apple is supposedly releasing it this fall (September/ August). If you have read our earlier posts as well, you will know that iOS 5 is packed with tons of goodies, but this post is about Jailbreaking. Yes readers, hacker Musclenerd has successfully jailbroken Apple's iOS 5 beta release. Limera1n tethered jailbreak works as a bootrom exploit, which means Apple cannot block it with the firmware alone on iPods, but iPads and iPhones pose a tougher challenge. Will the geeks be able to do it with the public release? Only time will tell...

iTech Review- Pencil Animation

Animation techniques are very popular and many people got to Adobe's Flash range when animating. But for many people who are inexperienced, Flash can be very daunting. This is one example of when traditional techniques come in handy. Most people are familiar with flipbooks, books where when you quickly flick through the pages, you see an animation. To make this into an animation on your computer, on of the best choices are Pencil Animation, which specializes in frame-by-frame animation. Here is a review showing you the best features of this free tool-

iOS 5 Countdown Day 2- iTech Wonderland Event

Today is day 2 of the countdown till the release date of iOS 5 (which Apple is said to release Fall 2011). But what exactly are we waiting for and is it worth the 2 month wait? Here is a list of the features that will be in iOS 5-


Notification center- Ever been interrupted by the annoying blue notification box while your soooo close to beating your high score? Push notifications can sometimes be very annoying, even if they don't do much. So Apple has developed the new Notification Center. Say goodbye to annoying interruptions, the Notification's will appear as a stylish bar at the top of your screen without interfering with your activities and will disappear quickly. With the new Notification Center, with one swipe, you can view weather, stocks, emails, missed calls and a lot more all in one place. You can even listen to your voicemail quickly, right from your lock screen.

iMessage- This has got to be my favorite, now with the new iMessage, you will be able to start a convo from your iPod touch, iPad or iPhone to any other iDevice through Wi-Fi or 3G. It is built in to the Messages app and completely free to anyone with internet, so what have you got to lose? I think it adds a nice touch to Facetime and really Apple should have done this ages ago!

Newsstand- Are you a Magazinaholic that has a lot of online subscriptions? Do you wan't to be able to read these on the go? Theres an app for that (or actually, there will soon be)! With the new Newsstand app, you can store all your subs in one place and even subscribe to dozens of others! All new purchases are sent straight to the flashy Newsstand app for easy access and the new Subscription store looks very promising. This has got to be the best way to read your favorite paper on your beloved iDevice!

Reminders- This app is going to be very useful, it will make it so easy to use your iDevice as a shopping list or a scheduler. No longer will you forget to do the shopping and because this app is location-based, your device will beep when you pass the grocery store and remind you to turn in. Thanks to the the Reminders app, Even the most forgetful person will come off better!

Twitter- Are you a Twittaholic? Do you use Twitter at every chance you get? Well using Twitter will soon become a whole lot easier because twitter will be molded into iOS 5! You only  need to sign in once in 'Settings' and your ready to get tweeting! You can tweet directly from Safari, Photos, Camera, Youtube and Maps! This is probably the best thing Twitter and Apple fans have heard all year!

Camera- Not a lot has changed, so I won't say much, but with the new iOS 5, you can access the camera from the lock screen at a moment's notice(don't know if this is a good idea though because hackers might find this very useful). Hate it when you've turned your iPhone 3GS for a photo of your face, but can't tap the virtual capture button? Well iOS 5 is the solution for you! The Camera app will now use the volume up botton to capture a pic, which I think takes the Camera app to a whole new profesional level.

Photos- With the new Photos app, not only can you view your old memories, you can enhance them with in-built editing software that matches that of the Photoshop app and share them with the rest of your devices with the all new iCloud!

Safari- The only new thing is the feature that was originally built for the Mac version of Safari, the Article Reader function and the fact that you can save these articles for later on your device or on iCloud.

Other updates-  iOS 5 will update the other apps like mail, calendar etc., but you will now be able to wirelessly sync (don't know if I could wait that long to sync big apps though) and Multitasking gestures for the iPad (yes, finally) and Airplay Mirroring for the iPad. Airplay Mirroring is pretty cool, you can wirelessly (and according to Apple, securely) stream your iPad's Screen to your HDTV through your Apple TV. This is one feature that I cant really, cant wait for!


With all  these awesome features, iOS 5 is definitely worth the wait! iTech Wonderland will be counting down every day till we get iOS 5. Bored? Why not guess the date iOS 5 will be released? Remember, it's released in Fall, which is mid-September.

New Blogger Layout; for better or for worse?

Dedicated bloggers such as myself may have noticed that the GUI of Blogger, Google's massively popular blog-hosting platform has undergone some serious changes. But has Google's plan worked? Are these changes really needed and will the affect new and existing users? Read on to find out.

The first thing you notice when you sign in to your Blogger dashboard is that it is practically white. Yes readers, the new-and-supposedly-improved interface is quite blank. This may put some users off, but other users may argue that plain is the new beautiful and that blogger now has a professional look to it.

In terms of content, all the tabs are there, but the 'Earnings tab' is still under construction. Instead, Bloggers will have to use the old 'Monetize' tab. At first, you will find all the tabs on the side and the content in the middle. It may take a little getting used to, but thankfully, Google didn't scrap anything.

Overall, these changes make blogging with blogger an even more enjoyable experience and with it's sleek and fast interface, It's all you could expect from on of the biggest companies when it comes to the web.

iOS 5 Countdown- iTech Wonderland

Here at iTech Wonderland, we were having trouble waiting for the next big release in mobile technology: iOS 5, and many techies out there will be itching to find out more about this major release, so to keep ourselves busy, we have devised a countdown (countup to be precise) method: every day, we will be counting up till the day of iOS 5's release     date, which is sometime this fall. This was posted on the 8 of July and fall is near the end of September, so there will be at least 2-3 months of waiting. To keep our readers busy, you can guess the release date in the comments section just for fun!

Mac vs PC vs Linux- Novell AD

Many Mac fans will know about the popular Mac vs PC ads that Apple rolled out a few years ago, which gave these two operating systems life and turned them into 2 people. Here is a parody of this featuring Linux as well as Mac and PC as a Novell Advertisement. Enjoy!
