Yes, and it actually works! I’ve wasted plenty of time already playing 2 games of Angry Birds at the same time. (I actually was playing 3 for a while, but it crashed when I tried to add a 4th). There are a few bugs, such as audio not working, and accelerometer events not getting sent to applications; it may take a while to sort these out. The bottom right button turns on “edit mode” which allows you to rearrange applications, and rotate them (Angry Birds normally runs in landscape, here they’re turned). I’m debating on if I should go for the typical desktop feel or make it more SpringBoard-like and keep apps in preset locations. I probably won’t have time to really polish this up and release for a few months, but I’ll keep hacking away at it and possibly post updates every now and then. Performance is actually pretty good, definitely useable.

Multiple iPhone apps side by side on the iPad
Aaron Ash, a well-famous iPhone developer, has today managed to run two iPhone apps side by side on the iPad. The developer of the tweak didn't mention it's name and didn't give an ETA on his blog post but he said it's going to be public soon.

iPhone 5 & iPad 3 Concepts Created by Roman Vladimir Sima
Roman Vladimir Sima posted on Flickr his vision of the iPad 3 and iPhone 5, basing his concepts on a classy design with a glossy surface. No info on the specs of these iPad and iPhone designs, but I can see that the iPhone keeps the physical home button, unless I’m mistaking and the capacitive one stands out too much.
The front surface of the phone makes me think about the repeating rumors about the edge to edge display that we’ll see on the iPhone 5. It would be cool for the glossy surface to engulf the entire iPad 3 and iPhone 5, making it look like a block of elegant matter. No trace of other buttons on the side, at least not from where I’m standing.
Also, this model looks rather rectangular, so it’s not as rounded as some other iPhone concepts I’ve seen. Overall I dig this idea, but isn’t the glossy facade a sun magnet?

Meteoric Download Manager: manage our downloads directly from the iPhone [Sample image from gallery]
The possibility of downloading directly from the iPhone is managed only through dedicated applications. iPhoneItalia has been trialling exclusive Meteoric Download Manager.
Meteoric Download Manager, available on the AppStore from next June 30, is an excellent application to make downloading directly from the iPhone.
Many built-in functions: File Manger for downloaded files, Media Player, browser access to the application, integration with Dropbox.
But let's see how it works.
Once you start the application immediately after the splash screen will display the integrated browser.
We see the operation of the various icons. At the top we have:
If you want to download, just enter the URL and enter any name for the download (instead it will use that file).
Without this, the application will download the file.
In tests in the 3G network, the download was performed without problems.
A clarification: I have tried to download a megaupload link. Unfortunately it is not managed, but displays the HTML file associated with the countdown of seconds.
Recall that Meteoric Download Manager, distributed in two versions for the iPhone and iPad, will be officially released on the AppStore 30/6/2011.

Double-arrow icon: we will be directed to the general settings of the application.
What makes this application unique is its extreme simplicity.

JailbreakMe 3.0: release imminent
If you're waiting impatiently for the release of the first jailbreak for iPad 2, probably the wait could end very soon. Comex has indeed updated the page a new message JailbreakMe including quite explicit "It was too long." You will then finally come the time to release version 3.0 of this "magic" tools for the jailbreak?
Comex has not announced release dates, but at this point, despite the jailbreak has been released on Sunday (as usual the Dev Team), it would seem that JailbreakMe 3.0 can be released at any moment and probably in the next few hours the users can run the jailbreak iPhone OS 4.2.1 and iPhone OS 4.3.3 with this new tool.
Stay with us for more information!

Paper Racer come in AppStore
We told you about Paper Racer just a few days ago, just ahead of the official release in AppStore.
The game, an arcade racing game with visual from above, is available for download, priced at just 0,79€. Paper Racer proposes a formula for instant, truly, but not very funny.
You can read a full review at this address, as we recall that the main campaign will offer a number of 16 different races. The game also allows you to customize their cars starting from photographs made with the machine or device using the photo library.
Here's an excerpt from our conclusions:
The title has the classic progressive mode called "championship" includes 16 races, trials or races more immediate. The game has also three different difficulty levels, where the average is still harder to live fulfilling and will allow challenges nice "heads up" for the first and second posizione.Insomma a game that does not add too much to the genre, but surely is well done and deserves the attention of users

iScreenSaver, Dan Zimmerman, the fifth TweakWeek [Cydia]
Ryan Petrich is a developer of Cydia scene, well known for some of his projects (one on all the Activator, which today are based on virtually all other tweaks) and the availability and support that gives users via Twitter and other private channels . Petrich has recently launched a new "promotion", called TweakWeek, which involves the release of some tweaks free for jailbroken iPhone. Today we bring iScreenSaver made by Dan Zimmerman.
TweakWeek plans to release a tweak free and open source a day. The rules for joining this initiative are very few and simple: the developers will in fact create a new project from scratch for users that will be distributed through the first repository of Ryan Petrich (http://rpetri.ch/repo) or those of private developers, and then placed inside one of the community sources in Cydia.
The real difficulty lies in the fact that every tweak will be created in 24 hours: not a minute more. This makes it so fascinating this challenge from developers that, while developing very simple tweak, provide to other developers (and users) of ideas from which to build new applications.
With the iPhone iScreenSaver display for a few seconds without any background on the Home icon - this is definitely the screensaver - completely before turning off the screen to not use the phone. A very simple tweak, certainly not very useful, but probably interesting for some.
IScreenSaver found in Cydia and you can download it by adding the repository Ryan Petrich

explains why the DevTeam iPhone OS 5 does not allow downgrading firmware
In a post from the DevTeam released some minutes ago, is to elucidate the possible reasons that make it impossible to downgrade the IOS of 5.
Here's the translated post:
It seems that Apple wants to aggressively fight the so-called "replay attack" that allowed users to date, using iTunes to restore previous versions of the firmware using the save dell'Ecid.
Those of you who made the jailbreak in the past will surely have heard of the need to periodically save the ECID (SHSH), in order not to lose the ability to downgrade the operating system, and having to do it via Cydia or TinyUmbrella. Save the ECID of a given firmware on a specific device used to restore a previous version of the same even after Apple has given up "sign." All this, however, is about to change.
Since the beta version of iPhone OS 5, in fact, Apple has changed the role of '"APTicket", which is now being used in a manner very similar to "BBTIcket". The steps in the sequence of iBoot LLB and restart an iPhone now depend on the authenticity of the key tied to APTicket, the key is generated at each reset: in practice, now the success of the recovery phase of downgrades depends not only saved dall'ECID and firmware version, but also by a random number linked to APTicket and that only Apple can control and manage. Authentication APTicket, in fact, not only does each recovery, but also every time you restart the device, and since only Apple has the cryptographic keys to sign a properly firmware prior to the present, any attempt to reproduce the APTIckets by third would be useless.
All this will take effect only with Apple's iPhone OS 5 and will be able to enable or disable this check at will by closing or opening the signing of APTIcket (just as is already the case for the baseband BBTIcket).
Fortunately, the exploits used by geohot with limera1n will still be usable, because it works before you start the new type of control created by Apple. This means, therefore, that at least tethered jailbreak is safe (for now), but not downgrade.
All the talk we had on the downgrade only applies if you want to restore a future firmware to a previous one, but always IOS 5. That is, until today, those who already wanted to go back to IOS IOS 5 and 4 can still do it (perhaps using an older version of iTunes), while in the future, who will install iPhone OS 5.1 (example) is never to return to iOS 5.
It is therefore an important step for Apple in the fight to jailbreak, but there is still room to try to circumvent this "block". But it is still in beta 5 iPhone OS, it would be premature to talk about.

China Mobile Worker Confirms iPhone 5′s September Launch
New sound, new race: 5 iPhone in September or August? The entries follow one another and the certainty of a given search is increasingly remote, as confirmed by a statement of an employee of China Mobile "iPhone will arrive in August 5."
These objects leave the time they find, but wanting to do the "count" entries on the date of issuance of the new iPhone, is September 5-6 in the head with statements from authoritative sources, while August is still just two hours "rumors. "
Apple will be the game of the summer: the hunt for the date! We believe that the iPhone will be released along with five IOS 5 and since Apple has said that the new operating system released in the fall, it seems very likely that the iPhone will be released only five at the end of September (and maybe during the first few days of months ...).

Full change log from Apple’s iOS 5 beta 2 release
If you have an Apple developer account and an iOS-powered device, odds are you’ve heard that Apple released iOS 5 beta 2 tonight. Wondering what Apple changed in this build? We all know wireless iTunes sync is a go and lock screen notifications have been tweaked, but what about all the other little additions and fixes? For those who prefer to know what they’re getting into, we’ve got the full change log posted below after the jump.
Thanks, Ron!
Notes and Known Issues:
The following issues relate to using the 5.0 SDK to develop code.
Accounts
Address Book
- When creating an iCloud account you can use any Apple ID provided it is a full email address and not a MobileMe account. If you have a MobileMe account, you can copy data from that account to an iCloud account to use during testing. You can find more information on iCloud at: http://developer.apple.com/icloud
- When setting up an iCloud or MobileMe account using the setup assistant and leaving Find My iPhone on, it might actually turn Find my iPhone off after the setup. Please verify in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar/YourAccount that Find my iPhone is toggled On after leaving the setup assistant.
- There is a problem finding a device using Find My iPhone on the MobileMe website (www.me.com) when switching from iCloud back to MobileMe. To workaround this issue:
- On the device go to Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendar-><your_account>@me.com and Toggle Find My iPhone off and back on. Now the device should show up on MobileMe website.
- It is recommended that you disable Bookmarks on multiple accounts. If they are enabled, the results might be undefined.
- FIXED: When deleting a MobileMe account, an incorrect message is displayed on the device that says “This will delete all Photo Stream Photos from your device”. You can ignore this message.
AirPlay
- FIXED: Adding a CardDAV account of any kind (Yahoo, Address Book Server, etc) and then removing the account will result in the loss of the UI button to add a new contact. The button will not appear under Contacts App or the Contacts button under the Phone app.
- FIXED: Modifying the fields of an iCloud contact from an iOS device that was not the original source of the contact causes the contact’s photo to disappear on other iOS devices. The image is still there but it is not fetched properly.
Apple TV
- Starting in iOS 5.0, video content in applications and websites are AirPlay-enabled by default.
- iOS 5.0 supports AirPlay of video via AV Foundation.
- The Apple TV screen saver may degrade mirroring performance over AirPlay. The screen saver can be disabled in Apple TV settings.
Assistant
- Apple TV Software beta enables users to mirror the contents of an iPad 2 to an Apple TV (2nd generation) using AirPlay. This beta software also enables Photo Stream on Apple TV so users can access photos stored in iCloud. Apple TV Software beta is being provided to test the latest AirPlay functionality with your iOS 5 apps and web sites. If you wish to install Apple TV Software beta on your device, you must first register your device UDID in the iOS Developer Program Portal.
Audio
- When signing in with a Classic MobileMe account via iOS 5.0 Setup Assistant, it offers iCloud Backup.
Bluetooth
- Using voice chat in iOS 5 requires setting the kAudioSessionMode_VoiceChat mode on the Audio Session, or setting the AVAudioSessionModeVoiceChat mode on the AVAudioSession object.
- In iOS 5 beta1, voice chat is currently not working on iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3rd generation devices.
CalDav
- FIXED: When connected to Personal Hot Spot via Bluetooth, the internet connection for web browsing is not successful.
Calendar
- FIXED: Despite turning off reminder sync with an iCloud account, editing in the reminders app displays the option to make a new reminder list under iCloud. By doing so, the list and to do items under the list will sync to other devices.
- NEW: After creating a recurring event locally on the device, the device stops syncing after hitting an error on merge. Removing and re-adding the account acts as workaround for this.
GameKit
- FIXED: When making a change to calendar syncing, like having more than one account on the device and turning on or off one of the account’s calendar syncing, changes may not show up on the calendar UI. To resolve this, kill the calendar app through app switcher and launch it again.
- NEW: All MobileMe calendars were duplicated after turning calendar syncing off and back on.
- NEW: If you launch or manually refresh Calendars on an iPad, your calendars might disappear and you will have to tap “Show All Calendars” to display them again.
Graphics
- FIXED: In games that support “Turn-Based Matches” a player cannot end a match unless all players end the match.
- Match data for turn based matches is currently limited to 4 KB of data.
- In iOS 5.0, notifications for Game Center are off by default. To enable notifications go to Settings->Notifications->Game Center-> and change the Alert Style from None to Banners or Alerts.
- FIXED: Attempting to present a GKPeerPickerController object causes an iPhone 4 to dim and become ‘modal’, but the peer picker never appears.
iBooks
- NEW: In the iOS 5 beta 2, the data type of the center property of GLKSkyboxEffect of the GLKit framework has been changed from GLfloat * to GLKVector3.
- FIXED: In the iOS 5 beta, the envColor property and the colorMaterialEnabled property of the GLKEffectPropertyTexture class (in the GLKit framework) are not operational.
- FIXED: In the iOS 5 beta, the constantColor property of the GLKBaseEffect class (in the GLKit framework) does not report the correct value in gdb.
- FIXED: In the iOS 5 beta, the GLKReflectionMapEffect class (in the GLKit framework) requires either the texture2d0 property, the texture2d1 property, or both configured with a valid texture name (for example, texture2d0.glName = myTextureName) in order to function properly. If one of these properties is not configured, you will get no reflection map rendering and a shader compilation error.
- If you don’t have a texture2d you intend to use with the GLKReflectionMapEffect class, the following code may be added as a workaround to augment the reflection map effect with a base texture:
- GLuint tempTexName;
- GLfloat texels[] = { 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f };
- glGenTextures(1, &tempTexName);
- glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, tempTexName);
- glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,
- GL_LINEAR);
- glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, 1, 1, 0,
- GL_RGBA, GL_FLOAT, texels);
- reflectionMapEffect.texture2d0.glName = tempTexName;
- FIXED: In the iOS 5 beta, disabling any of the three light parameters (light0, light1 or light2 ) of GLKBaseEffect does not work.
- Since the GLKReflectionMapEffect class inherits from GLKBaseEffect, the same behavior is observed for lights used with GLKReflectionMapEffect.
iCloud Backup
- iBooks 1.2.2 may fail to display some text or images in books. Please update to iBooks 1.3 in the App Store.
- FIXED: Newer PDFs added to iBooks will not be added to subsequent backups.
iCloud Storage
- As this is beta software it is recommended that you do not use the iCloud services to store any critical data or information. If you enable iCloud Backup, automatic backup with iTunes when syncing will be disabled. We suggest you also manually back up your device with iTunes.
- In the iOS 5 beta, support for data protection in iCloud Backup is unavailable. Apps that have protected files will not have any of their data or metadata backed up as a result.
- NEW: After restoring, you may not be able to back up again because the device still thinks it’s restoring. To workaround this issue try syncing apps or media that are missing form iTunes or try deleting your iCloud account and adding it back.
- NEW: If you delete your backup, the feature will be disabled but settings may still indicate that it is enabled and you will have to toggle the BackUp to Cloud switch in Settings.
iMessage
- During the iOS 5.0 beta period, any documents stored on the servers might be purged periodically before GM. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you do not store any critical documents or information on the servers.
- If your application is using the NSMetadataQuery class, you must set a predicate, even though the predicate itself is ignored.
- The Foundation framework doesn’t include the team ID when looking for an app’s mobile documents container. The Team ID must be included at the beginning of the identifier string passed to the URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: method.
- NEW: In this beta, the setSortDescriptors: method of NSMetadataQuery is not supported.
- NEW: In this beta, if you want to use iCloud, you have to manually specify various container identifiers (your application’s Display set) within an Entitlements file for both of your Mac OS X and iOS projects.
- NEW: There are issues using the Cloud Storage document API in conjunction with protected data which can lead to data corruption.
- NEW: In this beta, document-based applications cannot always detect when files change, move, or are deleted out from underneath them.
- NEW: In this beta, file presenters (objects that adopt the NSFilePresenter protocol) do not receive some of the messages that they’re supposed to receive, especially:
- presentedItemDidChange
- presentedSubitemDidAppearAtURL:
- presentedSubitemDidChangeAtURL:
- You can workaround this by implementing the relinquishPresentedItemToWriter: method and checking to see if the writer actually wrote when your file presenter reacquires. You can also use FSEvents to observe file system changes
- NEW: In this beta, messages about changes to files in a directory are not getting delivered to objects that adopt the NSFilePresenter protocol.
- While reporting a bug related to the iCloud storage interfaces, please include the logs collected during your debugging session. To generate these logs, you must install a special debug profile on your device.
- The debug profile can be obtained from http://connect.apple.com. This profile enables the generation of debug logs that are needed to diagnose any problems using iCloud storage. The instructions to collect the logs are:
- Install the profile. (The easiest way to do this is to mail it to yourself and open the attachment on their device.)
- Reproduce the bug.
- Sync with iTunes to pull the logs off your device.
- Attach the logs to your bug report. You can find the logs in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/DeviceName/DiagnosticLogs.
- These logs can grow large quickly, so you should remove the profile after you have reproduced the problem and pulled the logs for the bug report.
iTunes
- NEW: iMessage seed 2 will be unable to communicate with iMessage users on seed 1.
- FIXED: Swiping the iMessage on/off switch and the MMS messaging on/off switch in Settings crashes it. Just tapping or toggling does not crash settings.
- FIXED: In an iMessage conversation, video/audio attachments cannot be viewed in the transcript on either side of the conversation.
MMS
- The version of iTunes that comes with beta 2 cannot sync devices that have the beta 1 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
- Sync any devices that have beta 1 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 1.
- Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 2.
- Connect the device and install the beta 2 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
- After installing the beta 2 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.
Reminders
- NEW: Sending an MMS of large videos does not work.
- Photo Adjustments
- If you apply red-eye adjustments in iOS, and import your image into the iPhoto seed build, the red-eye adjustments will not appear on that image in iPhoto. As a result, subsequent syncing of your image back to the iOS device from iPhoto will not show the red-eye adjustments.
Settings
- NEW: The Reminders application does not send notifications for reminders that are based upon the entry (and/or exit) of a location if there is no date associated with the reminder.
Springboard
- NEW: The “Back Up Now” button is enabled without the backup data class being enabled for the account.
- NEW: If you bring up the keyboard of the terms in Settings->General->Software Update, you cannot dismiss it. You have to force quit Settings to get out.
UI Automation
- Push and local notifications for apps appear in the new Notification Center in iOS 5.0. Notification Center displays notifications that are considered “unread”. In order to accommodate push and local notifications that have no “unread” status, developers can use their application badge count to trigger a clearing of notifications from Notification Center. When an application clears its badge count (by setting it to zero), iOS 5 will clear its notifications from Notification Center.
- Developers are strongly encouraged not to run or debug applications on the device prior to completing the device’s setup assistant. This will lead to unexpected behavior and will be a prevented operation in a future release.
UIKit
- The play and record buttons in the Automation instrument script editor may not work properly after targeting an application that was launched by a trace session and has ended. They may also not work if you target an application that was suspended. If you run into this problem and it persists, you may need to close and reopen the trace document to get back into a functional state.
- When capturing actions into a script using the Automation instrument, interfaces with web views or table cells that contain a high number of off screen elements may take an extremely long time before returning with an expression.
- The lock() and unlock() functions of UIATarget have been replaced with the lockForDuration(<seconds>) function.
- Instruments overwrites the loaded automation script, even if another program is editing it.
- Starting iOS 5.0, beta 2 you can now trigger the execution of a UI Automation script on an iOS device from the host terminal by using the instruments tool. The command is:
- instruments -w <device id> -t <template> <application>
WebKit
- NEW: Returning nil from the tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: method (or its footer equivalent) is no longer sufficient to hide a header. You must override tableView:heightForHeaderInSection: and return 0.0 to hide a header.
- In the iOS 5 beta, the UITableView class has two methods to move one cell from one row to another with defined parameters. These APIs are:
- moveSection:toSection:
- moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:
- Starting in iOS 5, the exclusiveTouch property of UIControl defaults to YES.
- Using the UIWebView class in Interface Builder, setting transparent background color is possible in iOS 5. Developers compiling against the new SDK can check their XIB for the UIWebView transparent setting.
- In the iOS 5 beta, the UINavigationBar, UIToolbar, and UITabBar implementations have changed so that the drawRect: method is not called on instances of these classes unless it is implemented in a subclass. Apps that have re-implemented drawRect: in a category on any of these classes will find that the drawRect: method isn’t called. UIKit does link-checking to keep the method from being called in apps linked before iOS 5 but does not support this design on iOS 5 or later. Apps can either:
- Use the customization API for bars that in iOS 5 and later, which is the preferred way.
- Subclass UINavigationBar (or the other bar classes) and override drawRect: in the subclass.
- The indexPathForRow:inSection:, section, and row methods of NSIndexPath now use NSInteger instead of NSUInteger, so that these types match with methods defined on UITableView.
- There is a known issue with presenting a UIVideoEditorControllerobject where it doesn’t show the selected video, which appears blank instead. In certain cases it may also crash.
- Touch events are not getting forwarded to the view in the cameraOverlayView property of UIImagePickerController.
- NEW: The imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: method of UIImagePickerController is not returning a URL to the video when recording is complete.
- NEW: When creating a new appointment in calendar app on a device using 24 hr clock, you cannot select an hour value greater than 12. The date-time picker value sets current weekday to be the same as previous day (e.g: a An appointment on Tuesday will be set as Monday).
- NEW: We have changed the behavior of scrollToRowAtIndexPath:atScrollPosition:animated: such that UITableViewScrollPositionTop and UITableViewScrollPositionBottom now adjust for the top and bottom portions of the contentInset property.
WiFi Syncing
- NEW: In iOS 5.0 beta 2, a new inherited CSS property, -webkit-overflow-scrolling, is available. The value touch allows the web developer to opt in to native-style scrolling in an overflow:scroll element. The default value for this property is auto.
- The WebKit framework has picked up a newer WebKit engine, which closely matches Safari 5.1. Some areas to be aware of with the new WebKit framework on iOS:
- There is a new HTML5-compliant parser.
- Text layout width may change slightly because word-rounding behavior now has floating-point-based precision.
- There is improved validation of the <input> form field, which includes removing leading zeros and number formatting.
- Touch events are now supported on input fields.
- window.onerror is now supported.
Xcode
- In iOS 5.0 beta 2, wireless syncing is now available for the Mac. It requires iTunes 10.5 beta 2 and OS X 10.6.8 or Lion. You will see an option to enable wireless syncing when you connect your device to iTunes with the USB cable. It is recommended you perform your initial sync with a cable after restoring your device.
- Wireless syncing is triggered automatically when the device is connected to power and on the same network as the paired computer. Or, you can manually trigger a sync from iTunes or from Settings -> General -> iTunes Sync (same network as paired computer required). Be sure your device is plugged into a power source when performing Wireless syncs.
- If you find issues with apps, media and/or photos synced to your device, you can reset then resync. From Settings -> General -> Reset, choose Erase all Content and Settings. Then reconnect to iTunes and sync again.
- In this beta, iTunes may incorrectly report Photos as “Other” in the capacity bar. Photo syncing otherwise works as expected.
- You are strongly encouraged to back up your device using iTunes before restoring.
- In some cases, Xcode 4.2 Organizer does not display a device that is in restore mode. As a workaround you can use iTunes to restore.
- On some desktop machines, Xcode’s memory usage inflates incredibly fast while restoring a device or copying an IPSW. As a workaround use iTunes to restore.
- Sometimes Xcode 4.2 switches to a wrong scheme or run destination after an on-disk update.
- In this beta, crash logs (either unsymbolicated or symbolicated) do not appear in Xcode Organizer. To make them appear in the Xcode Organizer, you will have to rename the device.
- NEW: In iOS 5.0 beta 2, the iOS Simulator is not compatible with previous releases of the iCloud Developer Seed for OS X. It is highly recommended that you update to the latest iCloud Developer Seed to ensure compatibility.
