Wi-Fi Sync is a $9.99 app in Cydia that syncs your iOS device over wi-fi with iTunes. You can read more about the app here. A couple of months ago the developer of Wi-Fi sync tweeted that he was working on Wi-Fi Sync 2.0, which would include wireless syncing over 3G and VPN. Yesterday he announced the beta signup for Wi-Fi Sync 2.0. I can't wait to get my hands on it...
OtterBox, the maker of in my opinion the best protective case for the iPhone and iPod touch now also offers two new cases to protect your iPad as well.
Stopping by their site you will find their new iPad Defender case ($86.95) and their iPad Commuter case ($62.95). One of the nice things with the iPad cases is that they have a removable cover on the bottom that allows you to leave the case on the iPad and still plug it into a variety of docks/keyboards and other accessories.
The big differences between the two cases is the Commuter is more of an outer protective shell that goes around the outside of the iPad and covers the back as well and comes with a self-adhering protective touch screen film.
The Defender on the other hand is an entire iPad protective shell that includes the thin plastic screen protector built in just like the Defender series for the iPhone and iPod. In addition, the Defender also had built in props to hold the iPad in either portrait or landscape mode for viewing and working with your favorite new “toy”.
To some, the pricing might seem a bit high, but to me the OtterBox series of products are well worth the money, especially since if you buy the Defender series you are getting fairly hardcore protection for your favorite iDevice.
I noticed today on the Otter Box site that they currently have the Commuter in stock but apparently the Defender is really popular as the site states that they are currently sold out and thus far I have not been able to find them in any stores that normally carry Otter Box products.
I have a sweet Targus leather case for mine now with built-in landscape prop support but I am really tempted to get a Defender when they are back in stock. What is your opinion on this awesome new iPad accessory? Will you go on-line and order one?
I'm a little late to the Game Center party, because I was waiting to jailbreak 4.1. But now that I've arrived, it doesn't feel like much of a party. Apple's much touted Game Center app is supposed to be an "out of the box" focal point for all your iPhone (3GS/4), iPad, and iPod touch (2G-4G) games.
Compare your scores with friends, see how you rank worldwide, and try to achieve game goals to earn bragging rights (or to let people know how much free time you have to waste). You can also challenge friends to matches or play strangers in a multiplayer matchup.
Game Center does everything advertised above, so why am I not having any fun? Because this is what I was greeted with upon logging in:
You didn't expect that one, did you? All the rumors have been about Verizon getting the iPhone, but we hadn't heard much about Verizon getting the iPad. It's official, as of October 28, Verizon will be selling the iPad wifi.
Verizon will take this opportunity to upsell its new iPad customers with their MiFi, a mobile hotspot you can bring anywhere with you.
Now am I the only thinking the page dedicated to the iPad on Verizon's website looks cheap and put together by an intern in 10 minutes?
Is it a surprise that Verizon is getting the iPad? You tell us what you think by leaving a comment below...
NowPlayingPandora is an ActionMenu plugin that makes it easy to tell the world what you’re listening to. All that it takes is a quick copy and paste, and just like that, all of your twitter followers will know just how much you adore you know who.
It’s refreshing to see that one of the best jailbreak apps ever -- ActionMenu -- is still receiving support on the developer end. The latest plugin to arrive on the scene is appropriately entitled, NowPlayingPandora...
Here's a neat little jailbreak tweak that's finally jumped on the 4.0 bandwagon. LiveClock makes your home screen clock icon - you guessed it - live! The second-hand ticks along, and the icon displays your current time rather than it being eternally 10:15 on the dot.
It might be tiny but it's accurate, and that's what counts! It looks pretty sharp on the Retina Display, too...
Now that we all have our iPhones running Cydia again I started to get a bit restless for something new to play around with. After looking around the repositories for apps and ringtones, I decided as a computer nerd myself, that I wanted to create my own Cydia repository.
A few seconds of Google searching lead me to an article on creating a Cydia repository. I figured it shouldn't be too hard so I took a crack at it today...
Now that we have a jailbreak for our iPhones again I have been pouring through the selections to see what I really want on my iPhone 4 and one of my biggest items is ringtones. Most everyone loves to customize their device and what better way to make it truly unique than to add your own selection of ringtones.
Cydia's ringtone subsection is pretty extensive with many songs, sound effects and TV show themes to choose from and download right into your primary system ring tone list...
Yes folks, this is official... With over 8.5 million units sold in less than 6 months, the iPad os the best selling gadget ever made, at least according to Bernstein Research. a financial firm that tracks iPad sales.
The iPad smashed industry records earlier this year when it sold 3 million units in its first 80 days on the market. Third quarter sales were in the range of 4.5 million units, and overall it's estimated that Apple has shipped about 8.5 million iPads to date worldwide.

Well, maybe not an official trailer... but wow. MuscleNerd was right, GeoHot does have some devoted fans. Maybe he should keep trying to make it in the music industry after all...
The greenpois0n jailbreak has proved to be somewhat buggy for some users, including us. Fortunately, we've been able to navigate around a few of those bugs with a little bit of tinkering.
One of the biggest reported problems is the lack of a Cydia icon on your springboard following a successful jailbreak. Look inside for a step-by-step guide on how to add Cydia back to your springboard!
Do you remember the day? It was the Stevenote of June 7th, 2010. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the day that Apple unveiled iOS 4 for the iPhone. Every Apple geek was brimming with excitement as the first, official look at Apple's new software on the iPhone 4's mind-blowing retina display.
That beautiful water droplet wallpaper on Steve Job's iPhone 4 made every wallpaper geek drool. Apparently, Apple's pre-installed wallpaper on the iPhone 4 has inspired some designers out there to create more amazing water droplet wallpapers for your iPhones. I have collected three of the best water droplet wallpapers for the iPhone...
