iOS 5 Released!

iOS 5 had the world waiting anxiously for it's prophesied release yesterday, and when it was released to the public, man did it have a positive reaction! Apple's servers were at maximum capacity from the moment it hit the web and millions of cries of joy erupted across the globe; iOS 5 was here.

But what makes iOS 5 any different from Apple's earlier updates? Apart from the usual UI changes, the introduction of a FREE cloud service (iCloud, which was released yesterday) that can:

• Save almost complete backups of your iDevice on Apple's secure servers
• Share files seamlessly to and from your Devices

iOS 5 also means that your iDevice is no longer bound to your computer for syncs and updates, you can now do these wirelessly, and for iOS updates, well, they can be done straight from your device!

So what are you waiting for? If you haven't already updated, just connect your device to your computer, open iTunes and click on the update prompt!

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 35- iTech Event

Welcome to day 35! Todays topic will be on Gameloft's 4 Unreal Technology games which are rumored to be released this year. Unreal Engine is the system behind many beautifully built iOS games such as Infinity Blade and Dungeon Defenders: First Wave. The most prominent feature of the Unreal Engine is the unbeatable graphics and the ability to incorporate complex gameplay into a mobile game, and this is what Gameloft is aiming to do.

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 34- iTech Event

Welcome to day 34. Todays post will be about a cool and relatively new app that brings the amazing world of Minecraft to your iDevice.

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 33- iTech Event

Hey guys, todays post will be about iOS 5 Beta 6, which is due to be released either on the 17 or 18 of August, BUT it may be delayed if bugs are found.

In the last update (beta 5), Apple introduced hearing aid mode to cater for users with hearing aids. Apple also introduced custom vibration modes for the iPhone. In beta 6, we would expect Apple to build on this and add some more of the features they have promised.

In terms of bug-fixing, beta-testers haven't complained much, but Notification center needs a bit of touching up.

Soon Apple is aiming to move away from the iDevice-->Computer link and make iDevices freer and release them from having to have a Computer to use an iPod/iPhone/iPad, and this will be reinforced with beta 6.

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 32- iTech Event

Welcome to the iOS 5 Countdown. Todays post will be about 3 must-have apps for your iPad. If you have any to add, feel free to comment below!

3. Dropbox- Dropbox lets you share files over their server from your Mac/PC --> iPad wherever you are. It is true that it may run out of business once iCloud becomes popular, but for the meantime, Dropbox is the app to have!

2.Instapaper- Practically every site on the web has distracting ads, unneeded banners and ugly pop-ups. What can you do? With Instapaper, you can save articles to read later- without all the distractions!

1.Penultimate- This app is amazing, it turns your iPad into a virtual notepad where you can swiftly jot down and save notes by writing with your finger (or stylus!).

These 3 apps are must haves because they can be used everyday and can assist otherwise torturous tasks, which apps should!

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 31- iTech Event

One of the most popular questions related to unlocking iPhones is, well, is it legal (we wouldn't want to brake any rules, would we)?

According to the copyright office, unlocking is legal 'for the sole purpose of lawfully connecting to a wireless telephone communication network.' So as long as you stay under these rules, you should be good!

Heres a video to help you unlock your iPhone-

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 30- iTech Event

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 28- iTech Event

Welcome to day 28! Todays post will be about a cool tweak that lets you preview pages (on your springboard) by just tapping the little indicators (little dots that show you what page you are on). You can even launch apps from your first page! This is useful if you have tons of apps, but otherwise, its just a cool tweak to have! (Note- it is $1.74 on the Cydia Store)

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 27- iTech Event

Welcome to day 26! Todays post will be a video that will be testing the speeds of the Verizon and the AT&T iPhone speeds on the iPhone 4!

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 25- iTech Event

Welcome to day 25 of the iTech Event, the countdown to iOS 5! As promised, todays post will be an epic battle of the carriers, Verizon and Sprint (Sprint doesn't carry the iPhone yet, but most probably will, so we're just giving you an idea of what it should be like).

Plans- Many people will agree that Sprint is WAAAY cheaper than Verizon and more lenient as well.

Coverage- Because of the fact that Verizon is a more popular carrier, they have better coverage than Sprint, but nevertheless, Sprint is not far behind!

It's not a lot, but thats because we're dealing with a carrier that hasn't started catering for the iPhone yet, but stay tuned because as soon as Sprint carries the iPhone, we will have another post up for you!

iOS 5 Countdown: Day 23 & 24- iTech Event

Welcome to day 23 and 24 of the countdown to iOS 5. A lot of our readers have requested a series of posts on choosing the right carrier for your iPhone or iPad, so todays post will be about the pros and cons of two of the best known names in the world of iPhone Carriers, Verizon vs AT&T.

Price- The price of the device itself is the same for both carriers, but Verizon charges $30 for unlimited data, whereas AT&T charges $25 for 2-gigs. Your preference should depend on what you use your device for.

Speed- AT&T users can get up to 6 megabits per second- around 3 times faster than Verizon.

Features- AT&T's iPhone has technologies which enable to do simultaneous internet tasks unlike Verizon, but on the other hand, Verizon can make your iPhone into a WiFi hotspot for a small surcharge.

Both carriers have advantages and disadvantages, and your choice really depends on your needs. Thanks for reading and don't forget to tune in tomorrow for Verizon vs Sprint!

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 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).

(Note- I do not own this video)
