A few days ago, Wi-Fi Sync for our iDevices was made available and life has been pretty sweet ever since.  As you might know, the wireless syncing capabilities comes as a combo: iDevice app and Mac client ( Windows coming soon ) . The problem is that, the Mac client will cause iTunes to go about 80% ( during a restore ) and then just hang.

There is an easy fix for this. Remove the Mac client, restore your iDevice and then re-install the client. Or you can do everything via Xcode, and you won’t have to remove the client…

If you are not a new iDevice user, or new to the “dark side” , then you know what firmware umbrella and tinytss is.  If you don’t here you go:

• Umbrella – The tool simply performs the same challenge request that iTunes does during an iDevice restore. The difference is that it saves the results in a single shsh file. This file will give you the ability, to restore back to a previous firmware indefinitely
• TinyTSS -  is a small java app that acts as your very own signature service.When iTunes verifies your restore for your iDevice, it ‘phones home’ to see if you are allowed to restore to the version you are requesting. With TinyTSS + the shsh blob file(s) you obtained with Umbrella, you will be able to restore to the version of those shsh files forever! Read more…

As part of a planned expansion of electronics products in its retail stores, Walmart hopes to sell Apple’s iPad in some of its retail locations starting this year.

Gary Severson, senior vice president of entertainment for Walmart’s U.S. stores, told BusinessWeek that his company believes it will carry the iPad later this year. Specific details, including timing and pricing, were not provided.

Since the iPad launched in early April, Apple has sold the multitouch device at its own retail stores, as well as Best Buy and other assisted locations. Some Apple Specialist locations also carry the hardware. Read more…

An iPod widget and orientation lock have been discovered in the latest iphone OS 4.0 Beta, according to 9to5Mac.

If you flick to the left of your first window of open apps, you are greeted with a few new buttons. A stationary iPod button to quickly launch the app, iPod music controls, and Orientation lock. The orientation lock is just like on the iPad, but instead is controlled via this new menu. Tap once to lock in portrait, and again to unlock. The iPod music controls are similar to the ones that used to appear when you double clicked the home button.

It’s possible that Apple could expand on this functionality with future betas providing widgets that could perform other tasks.

SoSly – Just a quick not to everyone this is an actual app you have to open, but if you have activator installed simply set a double press home to launch this app using activator and now you have a nice experience.

Rich Hong made a pretty sweet Dashboard implementation for the iPad.  Except Apple rejected him from the AppStore. You know, for “contradicting the iPad’s user experience.” Well, that’s a new excuse, right? So what to do now? Ah, right – the iPad is jailbroken. Rich sent us Dashboard this afternoon, and it’s live on the ModMyi.com Cydia repo now – iPad only for free. Read more…

Here’s a cute trick. Some PC owners are getting emails alerting them to a new version of iTunes that has been updated “…for best iPad performance, newer features and security.”

The email provides a link, asking recipients to download a “new” version of iTunes. You see where this is going, of course. Those who follow through actually download a counterfeit version of iTunes which contains malicious code that opens up a backdoor allowing unauthorized access to a PC. Read more…

With all deference to the Violent Femmes, there’s nothing upbeat about the cases of overheating that some iPad users are facing in the early days with the device. We’ve heard directly from two readers about the dreaded ‘iPad needs to cool down before you can use it’ message; Henry in Colorado and John in Tampa Bay both reported that their units went into thermal standby after being used outside. John noted that his iPad was in the (black, heat-collecting) Apple case… perhaps there’s a market for reflective or liquid-cooled models. Read more…
