iOS 4.3 brings shorter “new” text tones [video]
iOS 4.2 introduced some new text tones for the iPhone 4, but these were met mostly with disappointment from users because most of them were simply too lengthy or too over-dramatic to be appropriate for a text message. Luckily, Apple appear to have seen the light and have shortened them – but some have been done with more care than others. Keep reading for a video where you can hear them for yourself.…

iOS 4.3 Personal Hotspot… is it any good?
As you may or may not have read, iOS 4.3 comes with a new feature called “Personal Hotspot” which, simply put, creates a personal wi-fi hotspot for you to use anywhere you have your iPhone. It also replaces/updates the Tethering option. ‘Tethering” is no longer available per se, instead it now all comes under the one umbrella.
The question is, is it any good? The short answer is “Yes”, medium answer, “Yes, it is awesome” but keep reading for the long version, my reasons why and the downlow on what you need to do to get it working.…

iOS 4.3 beta 3 available now
Apple’s 3rd update in just about as many weeks to their latest beta iOS (iOS beta 4.3) has just dropped and is ready for download (if your are a dev). What changes does it bring? At this stage we are unsure but once it’s down and installed we’ll be sure to update you. Hopefully Skype now works (unlikely though).
The update is available for all devices running iOS betas including iPhone (3GS/4), iPad, iPod touch (3rd/4th gen) and Apple TV.
Have you installed it? Found anything new or improved? Then hit the comments.
Update 1: The first of the changes has come in (although it’s a 4.3 thing not a beta 3 thing): You can now cancel app downloads midway through [via review of the Apple TV.. and although a little buggy (occasionally quits back to the Apple TV main menu) at least it is now here and I am sure by the time 4.3 is public it will work perfectly. Image after the break…

TIP: Enable iOS AirPrint for ALL networked printers in Mac OS X… and then some
For no apparent reason, Apple pulled the support for the highly anticipated (and hyped) iOS feature AirPrint in the final build of Mac OS X 10.6.5. The feature was set to allow any iOS device running 4.2 to print wirelessly to any networked printer on a Mac running 10.6.5. Consequently, the only printers you can print to are a handful of (natively enabled) HP printers. For anybody interested the list of those HP printers can be found here.
For the rest of us who are not willing to buy a new printer just for this feature we are going to take a look at a pretty much 1-click solution to enable AirPrint on ALL networked printers… and a little more. Carry on reading for the full run-down.…

iOS 4.2.1 Gold Master seeded to developers… What the…?
Well what have we here… iOS 4.2.1 Gold Master. Yup that’s not a typo you see before you, apple have released iOS GM 4.2.1 to devs for all versions of iOS.

AirPrint now restricted to ‘AirPrint-enabled’ printers only? (updated)
One of the key new features of iOS 4.2 is undoubtedly AirPrint – a neat feature that allows you to print from your iPhone and / or iPad. At the iOS 4.2 keynote, it was announced that AirPrint would work with any printer shared on your wireless LAN via Bonjour, or with any printer that had native support for the new AirPrint standard. It now seems that those of us in the first boat with shared printers have had the rug pulled from under us, and the service is now limited to just specific AirPrint printers… all from HP. This is unconfirmed at this stage, but read on for the facts that are shaping this story.…
