Il DevTeam ha appena rilasciato un nuovo articolo sul blog ufficiale. Sostanzialmente non ritroviamo nessuna novità, ma soltanto dei consigli, che vi ripetiamo anche noi da molto tempo.
In particolare, dopo le dichiarazioni di GeoHot, il DevTeam ha risposto che l’eccessivo utilizzo della batteria non dipende da ultrasn0w (che è leggerissimo) ma dal Ripristino da Backup. Pertanto è sempre consigliabile Configurare il proprio dispositivo come “un nuovo iPhone”. La musica e le applicazioni potranno essere ri-sincronizzate in seguito con un solo tasto.
Consigliano inoltre agli utenti che hanno installato la versione precedente di ultrasn0w, di passare alla 0.9.
Aggiornamento: Dato il gran numero di utenti che nei commenti ha espresso la volontà di non perdere SMS e contatti rubrica a seguito di un ripristino, bisogna sapere che c’è un semplicissimo modo per salvarli senza utilizzare i backup di iTunes.
Come salvare il database Messaggi:
1. Accedete tramite SSH al vostro telefono ed entrate nel percorso: “/private/var/mobile/Library/SMS”
2. Salvate il file “sms.db” sul desktop del vostro computer
Come salvare il database dei Contatti Rubrica:
1. Accedete tramite SSH al vostro telefono ed entrate nel percorso: “/private/var/mobile/Library/AddressBook”
2. Salvate i due file sul desktop del vostro computer
Ripristinare SMS e Rubrica in un “Nuovo iPhone”
1. Eseguite il Jailbreak ed installate OpenSSH
2. Tramite WinSCP/CyberDuck, collegatevi all’iPhone, negli stessi percorsi di prima, e sovrascrivete i file esistenti con quelli presenti sul vostro desktop. Avrete cosi recuperato rubrica e messaggi senza utilizzare il Backup di iTunes

GPower is an application that allows you to Power Off, Reboot and Respring your iPhone or iPod Touch all from your main Power Off screen. When you hold down the Power Button on the top of your device, instead of just getting a Slide To Power Off slide, you will get two additional Slides; Slide to Reboot and Slide to Respring.
This is nice for those times when you have no option but to hold down the Power button. Now, instead of only being able to power your device off, you can chose to just restart it or reboot it.
I tested this app on firmware 3.0 and I didn’t have any issues with it. Below is a picture (yes, a pitcure. We are on vacation and I do not have access to all my normal stuff) and a video of the app…it does this cool slide-n deal.

You knew it had to happen, and now it has. Book retailing giant Barnes & Noble, feeling no doubt a bit of pressure from the Amazon Kindle, has launched a free eBook reader for the iPhone and reports are that it is discussing a dedicated eBook reader as well.The B&N eReader [App Store] is free, and comes with 2 free classic titles (Jane Austen and James Fenimore Cooper), and when you register you get three more. B&N claims they have more than half a million eBooks available.
B&N also is offering a free reader for the Mac and PC so you can read your books on a desktop or laptop computer.
You can change the text color, fonts and font size, and read in portrait or landscape mode.
I have to say that using the iPhone app was a festival of frustration. To do anything I had to create an account. I couldn't even read the free books without an account. To do that I had to give my email and a password. So far, so good. Then it asked me for a good security question. I chose my middle name, but it was rejected because it didn't have enough letters. Thanks Mom and Dad. When it gave me the error, it also removed my email and password so I had to start all over again, as I had to choose another security question. It suggested I answer what kind of car I have. I did, and was promptly rejected again, and had to go back and fill out the form because it erased my already entered email and password again.
I finally straightened all that out, but was hardly in the mood to read anything. Searching for titles was kind of weird. If you select an eBook, (or any other function) you're dumped to Safari and it then says 'search eBooks for:'. Kind of odd nomenclature. Nothing about title, author or subject. I entered photography and it came up with exactly 2 books. 'Flags of our Fathers' for US$6.50 and a book called 'Photography' that was free. There was absolutely no information about the book or what was in it. And the book cover image was missing.
At this point I was mainly interested in books about anger management. but I didn't want to spend the $9.99 to get the one book on the subject in the 'vast' B&N library.
So I tried something by Stephen King. I searched for Just After Sunset. Bingo! They had it in eBook format. $22.40. Hmmm. Seems a bit high. Yep. Kindle Store for the same book -- $9.99 delivered wirelessly.
Do you get my drift here? This is a bad product debut. It has an onerous and ill-thought out sign up routine, lousy selection and many prices are way too high.
I'd suggest the B&N execs read up on competition and capitalism, if they can find any books on the subject in their damned half a million book collection.

NotifyMe, un’ applicazione con funzioni di “ToDo List” che supporta le notifiche push e che abbiamo ampiamente recensito qui, si aggiorna alla versione 1.1 e apporta notevoli bugfix ed alcune novità che vi andiamo ad elencare di seguito.
.
Nuove funzioni:
- Supporto al Badge sull’icona per indicare il numero degli impegni ricevute recentemente dall’ultima volta che si è aperto NotifyMe;
- Nuovo “Impegni Recenti” per accedere alla schermata con gli impegni recenti;
Bug Fixati:
- Corretto il formato delle 12 ore AM/PM quando veniva salvato un impegno;
- Corretto il problema della data e dell’orario sbagliato nella scheda “Prossimi impegni”;
- Corretto il supporto ai caratteri speciali: &, < e >;
- Corretto il supporto per il Russo, Ebreo, Arabo, Giapponese e altre lingue UTF-8 nella scheda “Prossimi Impegni”;
Gli sviluppatori inoltre ci avvisano che per non avere problemi dopo l’aggiornamento con le Push Notification è consigliabile abilitare e disabilitare la modalità Aereo in maniera tale da ricaricare la rete.
Ricordiamo inoltre che è disponibile anche la versione LITE del programma che comprende tutte le caratteristiche della versione Full ma comporta un periodo di attesa di 20 secondi prima dell’avvio effettivo del programma ed un massimo di 3 impegni programmabili al giorno.
NotifyMe è compatibile con iPhone e iPodTouch, richiede il firmware 3.0 o successivi ed è localizzato in lingua inglese.

For developers, it's all about WWDC. For people who are members of the Apple Consultants Network or affiliated with an Apple Professional Service Provider, the Advanced Professional Services Tech Camp is the annual "don't miss" event.This year's Advanced Camp has just been announced, and it will be held November 15-20 at the Q Center in Chicago, IL. While pricing isn't available, the curriculum hasn't been finalized, and the Camp website isn't up yet, this is a perfect opportunity to clear out the week before the U.S.Thanksgiving holiday on your calendar.
As with previous Camps, lodging and meals are included in the price (based on past experience, this does not mean staying in leaky tents, or eating Beanie-Weenies and S'Mores). Due to limited space and equipment, the Camp organizers at Apple will give priority to ACN members who hold ACTC or higher certifications.
When more information on Advanced Camp is available, TUAW will keep you updated on how to register and provide a link to the Camp website. For now, add a reminder in iCal.
