head on over to the App Store for your fourth of july sales Apple's iOS beta 2 hits released for sheriff cool and not-so-cool things and numbers of the iphone 3gs sticking around for another year all to send more coming up right now hello everybody I'm Jaime metal ulit and welcome to the pocket now I review the show we go through all this week school and the not so cold inside the world of Apple's iOS devices let's start this week off with a cool well the fourth of July is almost there along with fireworks we also get some really good deals just about everywhere and yeah that includes apple's app store EA gameloft and other companies have already said their titles to 99 cents a piece and that includes popular games like nova to fifa 11 Matt and need for speed and a lot of board games so if you're interested hit on over to the App Store we also posted that on pocketnow.com recently and if anybody's interested in a nova multiplayer hey send me a tweet well the iphone just turned four years old this week and you'd wonder how things have changed in the industry in the past four years ever since it was released before the iphone was released things like for example kinetic scrolling WebKit browsers and even capacitive glass displays and the whole idea of using your fingers to control your device were actually unheard of everybody was moving to cure the keyboards as blackberry was the king back then and Nokia was also the king of feature phone so it's really interesting to see how things have evolved and changed over time we now have even tablets they use the OS and well that's just to say happy birthday iPhone and let's hope September bring something better than what we currently have rumors have it that suppliers are already preparing to begin manufacturing the iPhone 5 or us or whatever it's going to be called for September release the detectives reporting that Foxconn has already begun preparing their factory still work on the next generation iphone and apparently another device for September release now a lot of speculation out there has that Apple is working on a cheaper iPhone others have been mentioning that Apple's working on an iPad 3 with high-resolution to be released with a next-generation iphone but people forget that Apple releases the ipod touch every September so most likely will get just the next generation iphone and the next generation ipod touch 4 sep tember being released then well there's going to be a lot of talk about that in a not so cool section also while iOS 5 beta 2 has just been released to developers but you'd ask why don't we leave this for less than close to the not-so-cool section well Wi-Fi sync is now available you can just set it up on iTunes and as long as iTunes the text your iOS device being charged with in the same wireless network it'll sync your device aside from that over-the-air updates are now available and active though you won't get any right now and it seems to also be working through 3g which is really cool then I cloud is now working with backups in the past that wasn't really working and now really backs up your device though it's not as quick as we want and well Apple is also brought Notification Center keep your calendar available all the time really cool but then again a lot of other things really went bad so let's talk about that in the not-so-cool section well left us for the coolest continue on with the not so cool what's wrong with iOS 5 beta to just about everything i call this the buggiest beta release that apple has ever sent to developers first of all FaceTime doesn't work you wonder why it has pretty much nothing to do with the enhancements that you get but it's completely the activated an apple hasn't really said why aside from that whoa itunes syncing over Wi-Fi is not really working items is always looking for a file out there that it can't find so every time you want to sync it'll tell you it can't because it can't find the file then you have to connect your device to pretty much sync that's not Wi-Fi sync apple and well apples currently been tweaking Notification Center over and over again they're bringing new things that look like notifications in the past at least in the lock screen so not really sure we're enjoying these changes again Apple go back to the drawing board and how about if you bring us beta 3 or release candidate gold master one just about next week that'll sound really cool but wait there's more iOS 5 beta 2 is not good news at all for the jailbreak community first of all the Getty sim card exploit has been blocked so now you can't unlock your device with the devi sim card after iOS 5 beta 2 not sure what to expect back to the full release aside from that Apple has also figured out how to block your ability to bring you the vice back to a previous iOS release by saving your SSH blobs so that's not really cool if you want to jailbreak your device and well the dev team has even been blogging about the fact that Apple also figured out how to block the unto their jailbreaks you know for good not really sure what to expect after iOS 5 gets released so everybody's worried it seems that only the line ring exploit will work and through a tethered jailbreak so again not good news rumors rumors rumors something smells really fishy about the fact that iOS 5 almost fully supports the iphone 3gs wasn't the same story with iOS four coming through the 3gs because according to Apple the hardware just didn't support it so everybody's mentioning out there that Apple is war hang on leaving the iphone 3gs for an additional year being sold as the free device you'll probably get it free on contract and really cheap for those prepaid customers out there you'll probably get the iphone for us to budget device that will cost you ninety nine dollars and you know just a cheap contract and then you'll get the iphone 5 or 4s as the flagship device from Apple you'll get three iphones but then again it's technology that's almost three years old I don't think any manufacturer leaves an iPhone sorry a smartphone for three years so not really sure what to make of it but it's really not cool it Apple's not bringing more devices to the table competition spheres and it's just interesting how Apple works in handling competition by releasing one device hmmm not really sure what to expect that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm hime every veteran where to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
