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.

New Mac Mini

Apple has just released it's latest Mac-mini, and boy is it a good one! It now runs on Lion (10.7) and is 2 times faster than it's predecessor!


With the latest dual-core Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, this Mac-mini sure packs a punch and boasts up to 2 times more speed than the older version.

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!

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-
