Apple released iOS 5.0.1 to the public today, and with it comes the need to jailbreak. Fortunately, we've got that need covered using the latest version of RedSn0w 0.9.9b8.
Keep in mind that many are warning those wishing to jailbreak to stay away from iOS 5.0.1 — especially iPhone 4S owners and those who have no way to downgrade firmware back to a prior version.
This is a tethered jailbreak, so those wanting untethered only need not apply. But if you're happy to use tethered to hold you over until then and if you've read all of the warning labels, check out our video tutorial that shows your how to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 inside...

It's easy to venture into Cydia and download your favorite apps and tweaks, but what if you want to save the files that you download for backup or later use?

We love iCloud here at iDB, and we love backups, too. That said, it isn't really surprising that we're huge fans of the ability to backup our iDevices to iCloud.
It has been said before that the best backup strategy is the one you can set and forget. That's where iCloud comes into its own, with backups being done automatically each night, so long as the device is plugged in.
There are times when you might want to be absolutely sure that the backup in the cloud is up to date, and Apple has thought of that, too. Here is a quick guide that shows you just how to manually perform an iCloud backup...
It appears Apple's Mac OS X team is working on integrating two of iOS's biggest features into Mac OS X, with iMessage and AirPlay mirroring apparently in the pipeline.
According to 9to5Mac's sources, the Mac OS X team at Apple is currently working on ways to make both technologies part of a future Lion update, though there are no guarantee that the features will ever see the light of day.
iMessage in particular has been long rumored to be the replacement for iChat we've been waiting for, but AirPlay mirroring could potentially change the way presentations are given using a Mac...
I never understood why Apple decided to make the iPhone like the iPod touch — separating the iPod app into Music and Videos — but I guess they are wanting to move away from the "iPod" moniker.
If you hate having separate Music and Video apps as much as I do, then you'll certainly be interested in Unified iPod for iOS 5 — a jailbreak tweak that brings the iPod app back in style on iOS 5...
The age old questions remain: What's an untethered jailbreak? Why is a tethered jailbreak undesirable?

All the rumors and all the betas are over. Now we're all using Apple's iCloud. We're syncing, we're backing up, and (to certain extent) we're streaming. Life is good... kind of.
For those of us who remember the debacle that was Apple's launch of the now-replaced MobileMe. the initial iCloud launch is undoubtedly leagues ahead of the chaos and server failures that accompanied the arrival of Apple's previous cloud service. iCloud seems to be more robust, but does it actually do what most of us want?
First, let's take a quick look at the good parts of iCloud before moving onto the bad and the crazy...
Caught up in all of the hoopla about the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 was the release of an updated iWork suite for iOS.
