Wake me up when jailbreaking is available for the ios 5.


Also, could someone with a factory unlocked/never locked phone and with
ios 5 check to see if they have enabled APN settings ?

(Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network (below Cellular
Data)

Whether or not the APN is editable is controlled by the carrier
settings, so you would need to specify which carrier you are using
before anyone can answer that question.

The "Mobile Data" APN is editable for me with iOS 4 (or earlier) on my
never locked iPhone 3GS, with Vodafone New Zealand as my carrier. (I
haven't installed iOS 5 yet, but hope to do so within 24 hours.)

The Personal Hotspot (Tethering) APN is not editable for me.

If I put a Telecom NZ SIM into the iPhone, I can edit both the Mobile
Data APN and Tethering APN. Telecom NZ didn't have official carrier
settings up to iOS 4.3.5, but apparently does in iOS 5 (which will
remove the ability to edit the tethering APN). I haven't seen it myself
yet.

Once again, apple proves to be THE leader.

The arrival of iCloud marks Apple's entry into an increasingly
competitive space. Google has offered cloud services for some time and
its Chromebook laptops are entirely cloud-driven, with nothing being
stored locally.

The point is that a carrier should not be disabling menu optionn on
unlocked phones. One reason to buy unlocked OEM phones is exactly to
avoid carrier customisations.

Priam, you're a dipshit. Apple's been offering cloud services
for years. It's only re-branding them (again).

iTools was announced and released in January 2000. It included
the @mac.com e-mail addresses, iDisk, HomePage and some other
stuff that long since went away.

It was rebranded to .Mac in 2002, continued to offer @mac.com
e-mail, upgraded web hosting, iDisk, and online automated backups
via Backup.

A bunch of new features were added over the next few years.

GMail only first entered beta in 2004.

Picasa web photo albums came available in 2006, around the
same time that Apple added gallery.mac.com.

Unfortunately, Apple's transition strategy for iCloud and
the loss of the photo galleries (to be replaced, I suppose,
by photoStream) haven't been handled with as much clarity
as I'd have liked to see.

For example, iCloud is not compatible with 10.6 (yet -
supposedly that's coming in an upcoming OS update, 10.6.9,
if rumors prove true). And it's not clear (at least to
me) how well iOS5 will work with MobileMe accounts for
folks who aren't ready (due to previous point) to move
to iCloud (in the remaining 9 months before MobileMe
really is shuttered for good).

Of course, replying to Priam is about as useful as, well,
poking myself in the eye.

But I thought it was interesting to see just how long
Apple has been working out this cloud business regardless
of his hot air.

Write the Telegraph. Tell Browne who's citing the article that iTools
and MobileMe always worked wonderfully, mainly for the money you had to
pay for the service.

Dipshit, I even tell you that "Apple is in good company" and you refuse
to acknowledge my contribution.

Who's Priam?

I really think the point is that you need too accept that we're in a new
era of mobile telephony, and OEMs and mobile OS makers have to pick their
battles if they want mobile operators to sell their wares.

The iPhone is what it is. Take it or leave it...

....or jailbreak it.

Is iDisk part of iTools? From its first release more than a decade ago
until it stopped being free, it SUCKED. I have no knowledge of whether
or not it improved after they started charging for it.
