FBI launches children safety related iPhone app

We have recently seen that even Chinese military is thinking in terms of Apple and iOS as they have released an iOS app representing themselves. Now Federal Bureau of Investigation of US has also started releasing their own iPhone and iPad apps. The first app coming from FBI is Child ID. This app is sort of a digital document with various informations about your kids. You can keep all relevant informations about the physical characteristics of your children with this app (weight, height etc.). Child ID has several important uses like for example you can easily show it to law enforcement officers in case your child is missing (in situations like airports and similar). You can also quickly call 911 or the Center for Missing Children from within the app with a quick tap on the screen. There is also an option to send the information about your children to appropriate government agencies through email.

Apple goes against unofficial use of iOS 5

iTunes 10.5 b5 and iOS 5 b5 downloads now available, developers only!

Apple is as busy as ever, and obviously they are even stepping up their activities in anticipation of a mayor event which will be the launch of their iPhone 5 and it’s accompanying iOS, the iOS 5. Now they have seeded the beta 5 version of iOS 5 and as always this release is meant for iOS developers only. As always developers will need to download and install latest version of iTunes version 10.5 b5 which is released at the same time as iOS 5 b5. This release should improve the overall performances and prepare things for the official release which is scheduled for September or October this year. If you have installed on your iPhone some other beta version of iOS 5 you wont be able to use this latest version of iTunes to sync your device. So if you plan to install this version of iTunes you’ll need to install iOS 5 b5 before you proceed, otherwise you will get stuck. And sincerely, there is no need to upgrade anyway as it is a very volatile software currently and no apps are yet available, that is unless you are an app developer yourself.

Jailbreak tweak: UploadEnabler for Mobile Safari

Here is another fabulous jailbreak tweak this time comng from less known app developers H. Samara and Bassen N.

Uploading is for some reason by default disabled within Apple iOS which can be quite cumbersome if you need to download or upload some important file. Luckily if you jailbreak your iPhone with RedSn0w, PwnageTool or Sn0wbreeze, you can use UploadEnabler to help you uploading files to the web. It works for iPhone’s on iOS 4.2.1 and higher.

Chinese army launched an iPhone Jailbreak app!

Chinese army also known as PLA (People’s Liberation Army) which is according to statistics second most powerful army on the globe second only to USA armed forces.
