1) hacksugar: Install the 3.1 Clock on your 3.2 iPad
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/11/hacksugar-install-the-3-1-clock-on-your-3-2-ipad/
Filed under: iPadDo you like the iPhone clock? Do you miss the iPhone clock? Do you wish the iPhone clock would install and work on your 3.2 iPad? Developer Steven Troughton-Smith has posted some handy how-to instructions on his personal blog. The secret lies in getting hold of a 3.1 compiled build (normally via jailbreak and sftp), editing its Info.plist file, and re-signing the app so it can be installed via Xcode.
This is a developers-only solution, and not for the faint of heart. The application can be signed and installed only onto those iPads that have been registered with Apple at the developer portal. You'll need to be comfortable editing Info.plist files (using a property list editor or text editor), and installing apps using the Xcode organizer window.
Although I confirmed that the install process works (it did not, by the way for Weather or Stocks), I have not been able to [...]

2) A first week with the iPad
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/11/a-first-week-with-the-ipad/
Filed under: iPadHow has week #1 with the iPad been? Pretty good actually. I wasn't going to get one, but while on a TUAW assignment to get some photos... and kinda sorta held up my hand and did the deed.
I'm glad I did. It's now a constant companion. I actually prefer surfing the web with it over my laptop because it is small, weighs less, and is quite speedy. I haven't seen any of the wireless issues some are reporting. Mail is good, but I can't wait for that unified inbox coming this fall.
I had some need to control a PC, so I looked around for some kind of remote client for the iPad. There were plenty of them the iPhone, but I wanted full resolution. I wound up with RDM+, which is a US$9.99 app that lets me connect to my Macs or PC without any firewall fooling around. Screen updates were fast enough, and installation had no hiccups. I'm sure there are some other solutions, but [...]

3) iPhone 4.0 beta walkthrough video in English
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/11/iphone-4-0-beta-walkthrough-video-in-english/
Filed under: iPhone, SDK
A few days ago we posted a Polish language video walkthrough of some of the features in the iPhone OS 4.0 initial beta. Since then, Michael Sherlock put together an English language video of a number of the features present in the new beta.
This video includes brief demos of:
Spell Check
Changing the Background image.
New features in the Camera.app
Making and populating Folders
The Unified Mail Inbox
The new Mail threading feature
and the new Game Center.
This video, though light on depth, will give you an idea on how these features work in practice.
I know one feature that I would like to see has not yet been addressed: the ability to rename Bluetooth devices. I use three Griffin BlueTrip Bluetooth receivers at home and when looking at the Bluetooth devices in the current version of the iPhone OS, all three come up with the same name and can't be [...]

4) Apple ditches "Rate on Delete" in iPhone OS 4
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/11/apple-ditches-rate-on-delete-in-iphone-os-4/
Filed under: iPhoneMacRumors is reporting that Apple has removed the "Rate on Delete" feature from the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 release. "Rate on Delete" is a pop-up notice that appears when a user deletes an app from their iPhone. The user is able to select a 1 to 5 star rating for the app or to refuse rating it by tapping the "No Thanks" button.
"Rate on Delete" was first introduced in iPhone OS 2.2 as a way for users to easily rate apps without having to access the iTunes Store. The feature has been widely decried by app developers; many believed that it contributed to biased negative reviews since the "Rate on Delete" reviews were only coming from users who deleted the app (and hence were presumably unhappy with it) and not the users that chose to keep the app on their iPhone.TUAWApple ditches "Rate on Delete" in iPhone OS 4 originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) [...]

6) "Wait Wait" goes after the iPad
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/11/wait-wait-goes-after-the-ipad/
Filed under: Humor, iPadWe love Peter Sagal and the gang, but they certainly jumped ugly with the iPad on this week's episode of NPR's quiz show Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me. In a segment of fake confessions from public figures, announcer Carl Kasell stood in for Steve Jobs and admitted "It's just a big iPhone without the phone."
Tell it to the NPR iPad app team, why don't you? They seem pretty excited about the new device... in fact, quite a few NPR listeners are potential iPad buyers, although you'd be hard-pressed to know it from the cranky comments on this post.
The funny business continued as Sagal skewered the iPad: "Fans of the new device say it is just a little more expensive than other computers that do a lot more things. But it has the advantage of being slightly more difficult to use. See, in a regular laptop, sending an email is no big deal. But on the iPad, it's a personal [...]

7) MobileMe email aliases will be supported in iPhone OS 4
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/11/mobileme-email-aliases-will-be-supported-in-iphone-os-4/
Filed under: iPhone
A reader has sent us a little tip that MobileMe email aliases are now supported in iPhone OS 4. Apple describes MobileMe email aliases as "nicknames" for your account. When you join MobileMe you have a primary user name/email address, but Apple also allows you to create five "nickname" aliases that you can send and receive email with. The advantage of this is that if you go to a site that requires you to register your email address to log in, but you're worried about getting spammed, you can create an email alias in MobileMe and use that new email alias as your email address.
All emails sent to that alias show up in your primary account's inbox. If you suddenly start getting spammed, you can just delete the email alias and any emails sent to that old alias will not make it to your inbox. Aliases are also good for shopping sites or using as separate personal and [...]

8) Poll: Will you be upgrading your iPhone hardware to take advantage of multitasking?
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/11/poll-will-you-be-upgrading-your-iphone-hardware-to-take-advanta/
Filed under: iPhoneMultitasking is the number one requested feature since the iPhone launched almost three years ago. With the introduction of iPhone OS 4 SDK, Apple has finally brought multitasking to the iPhone and iPod touch.
The catch is that you need to have a 3rd gen iPod touch (released in 32 and 64GB versions last fall) or an iPhone 3GS. Any iPhone or iPod touch before those versions do not possess the hardware capable of supporting multitasking. At least, that's Apple's position; jailbreak users have been multitasking for a long time on that gear.
What we want to know is how many of you are going to be updating your iPhone OS devices to take advantage of the multitasking features? Vote in the poll and leave us your thoughts in the comments!

9) Steve Jobs responds on iPhone SDK's new Section 3.3.1
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/04/11/steve-jobs-responds-on-iphone-sdks-new-section-3-3-1/
Filed under: iPhone, SDKThe release of the iPhone 4.0 SDK to developers included, in the accompanying agreement, Apple's new mandate that apps must be written in C/C++/Objective-C. This seems to block the use of alternative development environments for iPhone apps, such as the upcoming Flash CS5.
As criticism of this condition has mounted, we now have Steve Jobs responding to an e-mail from Tao Effect's Greg Slepak on the topic, sparking a discussion between the two on the change.
Jobs pointed out John Gruber's recent analysis of the change, calling it "insightful and not negative" as compared to the knee-jerk reaction in the first few hours after the SDK agreement surfaced. The revised viewpoint suggests that the real reasons behind the move are to maintain innovation and quality as more and more apps are written for Apple's touch platforms; meanwhile, we've also heard a somewhat [...]
