Google’s cloud music service now available on iOS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleiOS 4iOS 5
The Google Music service that launched back at Google I/O will now work on iOS devices, including both iPhones and iPads. The service has generated very little buzz since its inception and still remains in a private beta stage. However, the service had been rumored for months before its launch and is Google’s first major attempt to rival Amazon’s Cloud Player and Apple’s iTunes with iCloud.
Google struggled with securing licensing deals with major record label companies, causing several delays, and ultimately decided to launch it without much music industry support. Hence, Google Music operates similar to Amazon’s Cloud Player as a digital locker for mp3s rather than a fully integrated music...

Apple now training employees on iOS 5, iCloud?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
Apple is said to have begun training store employees on how to use iOS 5 and iCloud in preparation for what is likely the iPhone 5’s pending announcement and launch. Both iOS 5 and iCloud are expected this fall and a new operating system traditionally coincides with the launch of new hardware.
Apple blog 9to5Mac got their hands on a couple of photos from Apple’s RetailMe iPad application that is used to train store employees on new software. The first image shows a portion of the Daily Download, a newspaper for employees. In this section, we can see that iOS 5 and iCloud are both “just around the corner” and that Apple will be preparing a series covering everything customers will need to kno...

Spotify Wants to Bake Itself Into All Your iOS Apps

Spotify Wants to Bake Itself Into All Your iOS Apps
Spotify's been up for nearly two months, and it's shown amazing growth. Now it wants to find its way into everything else you do on your iPhone by handing developers and Premium users the new Spotify API.
Called libspotify 9, the code will allow the program to live inside any app developers can think of. Spotify sessions are already handled pretty well by iOS multitasking, but, as excellent as the app is, you tend to have to leave what you're doing to change playlists. By sticking the functionality into games, for instance, you won't have to jump out of what you're doing in the middle of a campaign. Pretty neat.

Apparently, the iOS hacking community is not working for the weekend, judging by the two days it took to crack Apple's latest beta wide open. Available as of this morning, the Sn0wbreeze 2.8 Beta 6 unlock tool can now give those of you with developer credentials jailbreak access to iOS 5 beta 6. From the looks of this release, the hack works on most iOS devices with the sole exception of the iPad 2. Already itching to get that custom firmware on your Ive-designed iSlabs? Then hit the source link below, and let us know how things turn out.

Screenshots reveal iOS 5 speech-to-text feature
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
Screenshots of a speech-to-text feature that is said to be making its way to iOS 5 have surfaced.
The Nuance-powered feature will require users only to tap the microphone icon next to the on-screen spacebar, and speak aloud leaving text to magically appear on screen.
The microphone overlay (pictured below) appears once you've clicked the microphone and sticks around as long as you keep talking.

iOS, Android security flaw shown by 10-year-old girl at Defcon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleAndroidiOS 5
A 10-year-old girl has figured out a way to outsmart game developers and cheat at games designed for iOS and Android by exploiting a security vulnerability within the clock system. The cheat works by modifying the clock settings on the device to accelerate time within the game's environment.
Apparently, CyFi, as the hacker calls herself, was bored playing Farmville-type games and wanted to speed up time in the virtual world to make crops grow faster. Her fiddling with the clock on the mobile device revealed a "zero day" exploit that tricked the game into thinking much more time had passed than was actually the case. Circumventing the game's built-in clock advancement cheat blocks involved m...

Apple releases iOS 5 beta 5
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
Enjoying a quiet Saturday? Well, Apple has just released iOS 5 beta 5 for developers. While the update continues the tradition of bringing OTA updates to iOS devices, beta 5 will require your device to be erased before being able to update — a little frustrating, though it’s obviously not meant for the general public. Apple also released an updated iTunes 10.5 beta 5 and Apple TV beta 4.
I have noticed the ability to send a photo from the camera roll directly to the Messages app for iMessage or MMS, additionally the inclusion of a camera button in the camera roll to skip back to the camera after viewing a photo.
The terrible autocorrect algorithm seems to have been fixed.

Apple already giving the green light to iOS 5 apps
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
Apparently, the list of iOS 5-compatible apps in the Apple App Store has already started to grow. How do we know? Well, at least several apps have been spotted there with iOS 5 compatibility mentioned among their features. That includes the Mashable! app, which has it clearly written in its description and the Camera+ app, which cleverly makes a reference to “that upcoming OS That Must Not Be Named.”
So, now that we have a clue indicating that Apple is already approving iOS 5 apps, does that mean that the new firmware is launching alongside the iPhone 5? Although it does not quite guarantee that, seeing the next iPhone iteration launching with iOS 5 on board now sounds a bit more plausible. ...

Apple releases iOS 5 beta 4
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
On cue, Apple has just seeded iOS 5 beta 4 to developers. The biggest change? It’s an OTA update… finally! The build itself is 915274d and it comes exactly two weeks after beta 3 was pushed out to devs. There will most likely be another one or two beta releases until the GM (Gold Master) as well — iOS 5 will be released for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, and iPad 2 around September.
UPDATE: Apple’s full change log for iOS 5 beta 4 can be found here.

iOS 5 Beta Reportedly Sets One Developer’s iPhone Cable Ablaze
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
Oh, the many woes of being an early adopter in the Beta software world. The software might crash, causing you to lose all your work! It may have gaping security issues, leaving an entry way for malicious misdoers! It may start your stuff on fire! Wait, what?
According to developer Gus Pinto (who sum ups his life in under 140 characters as “Pioneering Mac Desktop Virtualization. iOS, Mac & Android Development”), that last bit is exactly what happened to his iPhone 4 running a Developer Beta build of iOS 5.
Early this morning, Gus tweeted out “My charging cable caught on fire while charging my iPhone 4 running iOS5. #fail”, providing the above shot to back up his claim.

Apple iOS 5 Beta 2 Includes Wi-Fi Sync, OTA Capabilities
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
Apple iOS 5 is slowly but surely coming together as beta 2, which was released to developers recently, includes Wi-Fi sync and the framework for over-the-air (OTA) updates. These features were announced during Apple’s iOS 5 presentation at WWDC 2011, and it is really a nice overhaul of the operating system. Notifications have been improved and are less intrusive, iCloud services and compatibility will be free to iOS 5 users and many more tweaks and upgrades.
MacRumors says that Wi-Fi syncing, which allows users to sync their iOS content with iTunes over a Wi-Fi network, appears to be enabled in the latest beta version of the iPhone platform. In order to activate Wi-Fi syncing capabilities, u...

Apple releases iOS 5 beta 2
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
You heard that right. Apple’s just unleashed iOS 5 beta 2 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch units — for developers only, of course. We’re in the processing of upgrading, and we’ll let you know what we find. You guys do the same, alright?
With iTunes 10.5 beta 2, and iOS 5 beta 2, wireless iTunes sync now works.
Notifications on the lockscreen are redone — they’re much, much bigger for a single alert, then shows in list view for multiple alerts.
iMessage only works with iOS beta 2 both ways, but it’s super fast now. We’re guessing Apple changed the servers they used for this.
Thanks, Doug!
