Download movies via the iPhone was always a long and annoying wait. Well, it looks as if the iPad isn’t any different. Even though the image says 193mins it really probably took a little over 2 hours total, where my desktop on the same network could have done it in less than one.
I am not really sure why it take the iPhone and iPad so long to download movies via the iTunes store, but I must say it is kinda annoying and I would definitely recommend downloading via a computer and syncing the files if you have the option.
If anyone has any knowledge to why this is I would love to know.
After starting out strong with a $30 dollar truly unlimited data plan for the iPad, AT&T has to go a ruin it by only offering 2GB plans for 25 dollars from now on. I don’t know about you, but I can pretty easily use 1.5GBs on my iPhone a month, So I am sure I would kill this plan with a 3G iPad.
I know the average user isn’t me so maybe it is not that big of a deal, but this device could really become a desktop(laptop) replacement for some of the everyday computer users.
Guess only time will tell on what will happen next hopefully it is a sign to come hat Apple will finally drop the AT&T exclusivity and open up to more carriers, even if it is just T-Mobile to start with.
If you haven’t seen it yet woot.com has a pretty cool Apple VS. Flash shirt for sale for only 10 dollars, But sadly as I am writing this it is now sold out. But even though you can have it on a T-Shirt now, doesn’t mean that you cant have it. When I saw this I couldn’t help, but laugh and want one at the same time, but sadly I am not much of a T-shirt guy, so instead I decided to create it for something that I always have one me and of course is one of the reasons why this image was created.
So I hope you enjoy the wallpaper and I am sure it will work decently well on an iphone screen as well with little to no modification.
This is my first official post from my iPad via the WordPress app. It nicer then the iPhone version, but could still use some work. It may make me post more, but in the long run I truly doubt it will. Sorry I let the blog basically die, I have been keeping very busy with working on iPhone apps.
Everyone keeps pointing to the image below taken from the iPad introd video and says it’s proof that the iPad will have flash.
If you ask me, it’s more likely that apple just did some video effects and overlaid the image so that there wouldn’t be a broken flash lego for the video.
Don’t get me wrong I think they should add it, but I don’t see it being likely for at least the first version.
A couple weeks ago I set out to try and figure out, how to install the same application twice on the iPhone. The results where slim to none and there was only one site I found that had promise, but every time I tried it the app would crash before it could fully load. So I decided to take the little information I had learned and figure it out on my own. And I am happy to say I had success and have had the same application on the iPhone working for a week with no issues.
Watch the video or follow the step by step directions and if you have any issue getting it to work just let me know what app and I will see what I can do.
Directions
Open iTunes
Go into the Application section
Right click on the application you want to duplicate
Select Show in Finder (Show in Explorer on PCs)
Right click on the .ipa file and copy it to you desktop (or where every you’d like)
Replace the .ipa with .zip – An IPA files is just another type of a .Zip file
Un-compress the zip file
Open the new folder and Go into the Payload folder
Right click on the App and select show package contents (MAC ONLY STEP, Should just be a folder on the Windows)
Find the Info.plist files and open it in you favorite editor. (I prefer Plist Editor Pro)
Change the “Bundle display” name to whatever you’d like. This is the name that will be displayed on the iPhone (optional step)
Change the “Bundle identifier” (I recommend just putting a 2 at the end.)
Save the file
Open your favorite FTP software and connect into your iPhone/iPod Touch
Navigate to the root directory and then into the Application folder
Transfer the application into this folder
Reboot or Respiring your iPhone/iPod and the application should now be somewhere on your home-screen
Open the App and enjoy
