iOS 5 to bring FaceTime over 3G? Posted: 08 Jun 2011 02:36 PM PDT MacRumors received this screenshot from an anonymous reader today stating that it looks like Apple is preparing to take FaceTime over the carrier frequencies. It will probably be limited to 3G only, and not Edge. This is all speculation of course. Unless you are apart of the jailbreak community, you are limited to FaceTime over wifi only, but if you jailbreak your device you are able to FaceTime over 3G via the MiFi app from Cydia. Apparently it will be up to the carriers to allow or disallow it. What do you think, will AT&T and Verizon say yay or nay? [9to5Mac] iOS 5 to bring FaceTime over 3G? is a story by TiPb.

Posted: 08 Jun 2011 12:32 PM PDT Straight after WWDC, Steve Jobs is the centre of attention again; this time presenting a plan for a new Apple campus to Cupertino City Council. Apple has outgrown its current campus at One Infinite Loop and proposes to build a new futuristic looking building on land it bought recently from Hewlett Packard. The plans shown off at the meeting make the proposed campus look like a space ship that has just landed. The idea behind the design is quite phenomenal. During the presentation Steve Jobs outlined the plans and told the City Council that the building would house over 12,000 employees, have a huge underground car park, increase the trees in the area by 60% and generate its own electricity; only using the grid as a backup. "There is not a straight piece of glass in this building, it's all curved. We used our experience making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use. And, we want to make the glass specifically for this building here. We can make it curve all the way around the building… It's pretty cool."Apple is planning on starting the project in 2012 with completion scheduled for 2015. Take a look at the video after the break. It is over twenty minutes long and includes a question and answer session at the end. It is well worth watching! Let us know what you think when you have picked your jaw up from the floor!

Untethered jailbreak may be fully patched in iOS 5 Posted: 08 Jun 2011 08:12 AM PDT Prominent iPhone hacker i0n1c revealed in a tweet yesterday that the untethered jailbreak he created has been fixed in iOS 5.
It was discovered yesterday that the tethered jailbreak in limera1n worked perfectly in iOS 5 with Cydia running smoothly, but for those hoping the untether from i0n1c would work, it looks like those dreams have been put to rest. This doesn’t mean another untethered jailbreak won’t be discovered, although the jailbreak community most likely wouldn’t release it until the iPhone 5 is available to prevent Apple from finding the exploit and patching it at the hardware level. Would you be open to using a tethered jailbreak with iOS 5 or would you stick with iOS 4 until an untethered jailbreak is available?

Nuance VoiceOver technology still coming to iOS 5? Posted: 07 Jun 2011 07:24 PM PDT It looks as if iOS 5 may still be coming packed with the rumored Nuance VoiceOver technology even though it wasn’t given an official mention during Monday’s WWDC keynote. If you look closely at the image above presented during the iOS 5 portion of the keynote, you’ll notice a few interesting tidbits pertaining to iOS VoiceOver integration.
This implies that Apple and Nuance may not have been fully prepared to show off their iOS 5 VoiceOver system in time for the keynote, but that it’s still in the pipeline and should be ready to go this fall when iOS 5 drops. It’s unclear whether Apple will allow 3rd party apps to take advantage of these new features or if it will only extend to system apps. What do you think, will we see Nuance/SIRI VoiceOver technology baked-in to iOS 5 or are we just wishful thinking? Nuance VoiceOver technology still coming to iOS 5? is a story by TiPb.

Here is a tip for developers on how to install a beta for iOS using XCode or iTunes. One of the coolest things about being an iOS developer is being able to check out new versions of iOS before they’re publicly released. With WWDC 2011 upon us, we should see a beta of iOS 5 soon. If you’re a new developer, or you’re testing for a current developer, you’ll want to make sure you install beta firmware correctly. If you don’t, this can lead to problems when upgrading to official or later versions of iOS. As a forewarning, betas are only intended for developers and testers. Don’t expect a beta to be flawless, expect the opposite. I also recommend installing betas on a test device when you can in case something goes wrong. So if you’re new to this process, hit the jump for a walkthrough of how to provision your device and install a beta version of iOS. And obviously, betas are Mac only.
Download the SDK, XCode, iTunes beta, and iOS firmware
Provision your device’s UDID within the the Apple Developer Portal
As a side note, if XCode does not load the Organizer window, simply go to Window, Organizer and you should then see your device. Install the beta version of iOS via XCode Once you’ve provisioned your device with the developer portal and downloaded the newest beta of iOS, you’re ready to install it via XCode. It is always a good idea to back up your iPhone and restore it clean before installing a beta as well. Not required but I recommend it. If you are jailbroken, it is especially a good idea to restore stock before attempting this.
Install using a beta version of iTunesIf you’ve already installed using XCode, no need to go any further, you’re done! Almost all betas will need to be installed using a beta version of iTunes. In the case of iOS 5, you’ll need iTunes beta 10.5.
And again, I can’t say this enough times – beta software is just that, beta. It is meant for developers and testers only. Please do not attempt to install beta firmware without a developer license or permission. And I strongly urge developers to not “sell” UDID spots under their account to people who just want early access to the beta. The purpose is for Apple to get legitimate feedback from developers before a final release. If you do not intend on submitting crash logs and bug reports, please wait for an official release.
