Donnell bell the iPads built-in keyboard is one of the best reviews on a touchscreen device but seemingly doesn't offer all the extra characters you'd have access to on traditional computer but with a few tips and tweaks you can really push this keyboard to its limits first up check out the general settings menu and select the keyboard option here's where you can find access to the iPads international keyboards and selectively enable features such as auto correction auto capitalization caps lock and a shortcut that inserts a period any time you press the spacebar twice for the real hidden gems press and hold any of the vowel letters on the keyboard and you'll see options for all kinds of special characters if you click over to the numbers and symbols keyboard you'll find that many of the symbols also have press and hold options in Safari you'll also find that the dot-com button can be used to enter net org and edu at the end of a URL so there you go some tips on using the iPads keyboard prasina calm I'm Donald Bell alright thanks to the Donald for that one now last week WWDC brought a bunch of new features to iOS 5 but that doesn't mean they were all original the jailbreak community has created apps and utilities that Apple wouldn't allow like Greg Hughes who's Wi-Fi sync app would let you sync your iTunes collection over your own Wi-Fi network well apple rejected his app when you submitted it but guess what one of the new features in iOS 5 is syncing your iDevice over Wi-Fi but the worst part of it Apple not only use the same name from his appt pulling their new feature Wi-Fi sync but they also deliberately ripped off the logo as well so that's Blaine and week so much for thing and different we're giving you guys the bad apple apple now for the international man of mystery business travel Apple is also now selling an unlocked version of their iphone 4 that means no contract and you can pop in a sim card with compatible carriers around the world yeah baby oh now here in the US it will work with tmobile but only on their edge network for data and the magical price 649 for the 16 gig or 749 for the 32 gig now also if you ever want to know what the most common iPhone pass codes are a developer included a pass code screen on his app that looks pretty similar to Apple's and assume most people type in the same passcode for their phone he collected the data and the number one pass code is 1234 followed by 0000 and 2580 which are the four numbers down the center now people let's get a little more creative than that really 0000 that's pathetic now let's take a peek into what Apple is looking to do based on a new patent application the big a is attempting to use the iphone location services and your personal interests to make new friends now instead of an awkward conversation that I've never had apple says interest can be determined by questionnaires and you'll be able to find people in your area that show the same interests and introduce yourself through your iphone now that girl in there mock-ups is either winking at me as allergies or just one eyeball but how about you just go out to an area where people eat lunch and make friends like we do highclere Lamborghini cos y a gun in the clutch hey you guys what is so funny lunchtime man just get are you serious it down yeah I got I can get another one's gonna need it hey Cody Mitchie baby let's go let's go oh poor poor Arielle alright that's going to do for this we show send us your emails and questions to the Apple via cnet com i'm brian Tong will answer some next week on our show and we'll see you next time for another bite of the Apple
