Having issues with your APN settings under iOS 5 beta 7? Here’s a work around:
It would seem that Apple have removed the ability to change the APN settings in iOS 5 beta 7 for non-official carriers. Hopefully this is just an oversight in this beta and it will be fixed before the GM is released (if not it could leave a lot of users out in the cold). Personally I believe it is a bug as Apple sell the iPhone to use on “the carrier of your choice” when buying from the online store, so they are surely required to make sure you can use it properly (hence the reason it was allowed in the past).
In the meantime if you need to change your APN or it has stopped working here’s how you can do it (it requires you to have a Vodafone SIM or other “official carrier” SIM):

Read MoreWARNING: MobileMe to iCloud phishing email doing the rounds
We’ve just received a tip-off from one of our readers that a number Macrumors readers have received phishing emails claiming to be from Apple asking them to update their MobileMe account to iCloud. The email reads as above and the key in the email is the “botton” you need to click and the link to update to “iCLOUD”, you know Apple would never send that out.
We thought we’d give you a heads up in case you should receive one of these. If you get this email, with “botton” and “iCLOUD” in CAPS, do not click the link in the email and do not enter your credit card details. In fact just delete it, permanently. Keep reading for the full story from Macrumors.…

FTW: Apple launches B2B store for volume App Store purchases
Apple announced last week that it would begin offering volume purchasing for iOS apps, and a week later the program is open for enrollment (but still U.S.-only, unfortunately). Enrolling in the program requires that you be authorized to make purchases for your company, and you’ll also need a valid D-U-N-S number.
Volume purchasing allows businesses an alternative to the App Store for bulk purchases of iOS apps. All paid apps in the App Store are available through the program, at the same price as that listed in the App Store. Note that Apple’s guide to the program doesn’t mention anything about discounts for bulk app purchases, so purchasing Keynote for all 50 of your employees is going to run you close to US$500.
