Why did you Jailbreak your device? To change your theme or add functionality to iOS? I’ll bet the first thing to come to your mind when jailbreaking your device was that you could run Windows on it. Cydia provides all sorts of apps to choose from; games, tweaks, themes, etc. There is a new kid on the block however, iWindows.

Just recently, iOS 5 beta 5 was released by Apple for iPhone 4 / 3GS, iPod touch 3G / 4G and iPad / iPad 2 and as always, the big question is raised, can it be jailbroken with any of the existing jailbreak tools? Can redsn0w do its magic once again and jailbreak iOS 5 beta 5 just like the previous releases? Unfortunately the answer to all these questions, at least for now, is NO!

iCloud is what Apple likes to call “cloud storage done right!”. For those who have been living under a rock for the last few months, iCloud (previously MobileMe) is Apple’s cloud based service. It was first announced on June 6 2011 at the WWDC. Currently, the service is in beta stage, open only to those who have signed up for Apple Developer’s program, a subscription based membership which costs $99 a year bringing you exclusive access to all the beta releases related to Mac and iOS along with tons of developer only goodies.
Remember the good old days of Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail, the time we only had a megabyte or two of storage? And then when Google announced Gmail with 1GB of storage, that seemed unbelievable.

Just yesterday, Apple released iOS 5 beta 5 to the developers as an OTA update with a two weeks gap between the previous beta. However, 9to5Mac claims they mighty have “cracked the OTA update date code” and are suspecting Apple will drop iOS 5 beta 6 on Wednesday, 17th August if “some codes sent their way by a few developers” are to be trusted.

Just after two weeks of the last beta, Apple has just released the iOS 5 beta 5 which is now available for download through an Apple developer’s portal. Like the previous iOS 5 beta, you can grab this one via an OTA update if you don’t have your iOS 5 beta 4 jailbroken. To do that, go to Settings > General > Software Update. Otherwise, you’ll need to download the full .IPSW file after logging in to you developer account.

A nifty little jailbreak tweak has just hit the Cydia store called BadgeClear. As the name implies, it clears up all your unwanted iOS app notification badges with a simple tap. The tweak is pretty easy to use and has no settings to configure. Once installed from Cydia, all you need to do is get into wiggle mode (tap / hold an icon) and tap any badges you want to clear.
